[3.26]The dirty Scorpion-Tail|Herald of Agony|Chaos-Cyclone-CI-Necro|The Arachnophobia Allstars 291M

HoAg and minions remain unchanged.
Tattoos are not removed.

Spellblock was buffed, but the build lost 3k armour with a nerf to determination. We simply equalize this totally by the buffed ward and endurance charges, or by switching a no longer needed spellblockcluster into an ar/ev-cluster.


With the huge buffed ward of the elixier of the unbroken circle, which is doubled by skin of the lords, we get each 2 seconds additional 10% ehp. The buffed enduring charges add another 15% more flat ehp.
So in total great 20-30% flat additional dr / ehp are obtained in [3.25].

With the new +2 max cold-resi-jewels melding of the flesh is used again. Or taste of hate adds 25% more ele-ehp before.

All allflames were easy to juice.

With the corpsecrafts awesome HoA-weapons and helmets were done.

With the tattoos I he build is extreme flexible to max 100% spell suppression, more es and and poison chances.

3.24 news:

Very fine and nice holy relics leaded the minion-meta. A great build and only in t17 a bit squishy.

GhazzyTV mentioned in his interview with Jonathan Rogers that temporal minions like HoA is scaling better as other minions. He recommended again the Allstars build to play HoA in stream.
BalorMage argued about the advantages of the immortal HoA against holy relic and mortal minions in t17.

HoA got buffed in movement, damage and qol and is b.i.s.-geared as strong as the mirror-priced spectres.

With the recombinater rare helmets and boots got much cheaper to craft, probably only a quarter as expensive as before.

Because in juiced t-17 ele-mods melding of the flesh for all maxresis 88-90% is too strong, a rare helmet for more es and free resi-suffixes climbed up into b.i.s.-standard with that.

Also high es-base-boots became much easier to be built in.

The +8 rare amulet is the new endgame-cherry, there were some for 200 div in trade, not too bad for doubling the damage early in the HoA-crit-editions.

I added a higher budget 606M damage PoB, a tanky 150M ehp pob, and reformated the pathfinder pob.

Almost each spoiler was improved.

No major changes. I improved the explanations about skin of the lords and keystones, levelling gear and alternatives.

It was the league for some b.i.s. again.


... I cannot remember such a rare rolled aegis aurora since long times in [3.21] Crucible.

Some totally b.i.s.:


I am still trying to craft better ones:

Nice to be doubled by the Adorned to +3/+4:





With the b.i.s. clusters and megalomaniacs and good ghastlys jewels I reached 210 unreserved mana, 140 mana/sec, 130 overcapped resis, 4 curses, 50M dps. And I have the fitting gear for 140M dps HoA-crits in stash.

In ordinary content the HoA-jugg I play this league is almost immortal and died only 4x in levels 80-100 (do not retell, I did U-sirus in unfitting mapping equipment asenath's gentle touchs on low 3k es and on top I forgot to reactivate ghost dance 5 levels long, equal to 40% less ehp, lol).
Now in lvl 100 I farm in titanic gigantified rogue exiles strategies also in t17's including crazy mods like 300-400% increased map-mods, 3x 300% additional elemental damage, seance, wrath of the cosmos, 80% delirious etc. - not deathless, but good & easy doable.

Because the high unreserved mana and mana-reg are not often needed I'll balance further into more damage and do beside recombinations and shipments for one of the imba +8 amulets.

Congrats to all Arachnophobiatics!



The dominant meta was ruled by DD and more.


Also when often life based jugg and champ were chosen, the top of the board was again dominated by CI-Arachnophilias!

I myself climbed rank 1 in the HoA-jugg-ascendancy. Arachnophilia!


It was a beautiful leaderboard of Arachnophilia again! With some more very successful Arachnophobiatics!

Further I guide often, eg in the spoilers "pob" and "ehp/es", that ehp matters in high density, max hit taken against Ubers.
The guys without recovery built in always rant thr builds with good recovery, and in reverse the same: I know, without good recovery and only high max hit taken you are squishy in damage peaks of high density and are kiting for your whole poe-life.

Both numbers matters in my conclusion.

Of course disable recovery on block and guard skill, also after The Arachnophobia Allstars are tanky balanced, phys max hit could be a bit better. The balancing about is guided in "Ubers" "U-Shaper-Slam" and in "90% flat dr', it's easy to build in 40% more Dr or 100k armour to facetank 7 U-slams when wanted.

Further I advice always to balance damage above 50M instead into more taankyness and qol instead. 200M are not often interesting and not needed.

Of course the high damage shows also the high capacities which can be moved over into tankyness.
