In this build, AG, spectres, golems die very often because of the Qotra shield. It's very annoying. After some testing by me and discussion with OP, my suggestions: (1) AG must have the body armor Skin of Lords (or a corrupted weapon) with Resolute/Precise Technique. (2) Use Spectral Leader and Wretched Defiler spectres, as their skills don't crit at all. (3) Link Controlled Destruction to golems replacing Feeding Frenzy, so they suicide much less often. Any thoughts?

3.25: The Taste of Hate Unique Flask no longer has 10-15% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Cold Damage during Effect. Instead, it now has 20-30% of Fire and Lightning Damage from Hits taken as Cold Damage during Effect. How will this effect the defense of the build?

It would depend on the content you are doing and what items you have. For example, if you don't have a level 5 Awakened Cast While Channeling, you will need Brine King. For general mapping, I would use Soul of Shakari, but when fighting Sirus, I would use Soul of Ralakesh.

Does Ascendant get more dmg in the end than Necro? Comparing your build with the Unleash/Ignite prolif setup? I mean still using the shiled for pops but not using cyclone. Basically you don't need that much movement speed for cyclone, and get extra life and chill shock plus cast speed from Necro. Personally I prefer manual casting while mapping, but I'm interested in uber bosses dmgwise for Necro. I think only spell supression will be hard to cap on Necro, but there might be new enchants to get Magebane this league
@GreatTeacher-WindyАй бұрын
It is quite hard for Necro to get access to Elemental Equilibrium; you'll need to craft on a Stabilising Spectre. Additionally, to get permanent flasks on Necro, you'll need a flask medium cluster jewel or a Mageblood. The big offensive mechanic of this build is to reduce enemies' fire resistance as much as possible, and Ascendant is simply easier and better for this. When I started this build, I used Unleash, but the casting time was too long for me. And unless you stand still casting SRS, the Cyclone CwC setup will provide more damage, especially in Uber boss fights where you need to move a lot.
@Ston3Cruhs3rАй бұрын
@@GreatTeacher-Windy ty for your reply. I will for sure go Mageblood endgame. I noticed that your dmg comes mostly from -% fire res, and losing EE and -20% exposure from elementalist ascendancy will be a big downside for Necro. But I think extra life,chill, shock and more aoe from Necro will compensate. I will give a try with Necro and maybe go Cyclone so I can still have EE with a Stabilising scepter. Mageblood solves flask management, and I only lose exposure from Elementalist.

Hello seems fun to play do you think you can league start with minion instability then swap to this build as sion ? and did you try simulacrum ?
@GreatTeacher-WindyАй бұрын
I don't recommend starting a league with a Scion if you are not experienced. Leveling a Scion is also a bit slower than other ascendancies. However, if you don't care about leveling speed, you can definitely start with it. Begin by using steel skills, and prioritize reaching Minion Instability on your passive tree asap. Then, use self-cast SRS linked with Minion Life and Infernal Legion. Simulacrum is a piece of cake for this build; I've finished 30 waves deathless many times. I only die occasionally when the modifiers are too deadly, like chaos penetration combined with removing flask charges on hit.

hey, i dont really get the mechanics behind the AG's helmet, eye of malice, how does it help to significantly reduce enemy fire resis while it says "Nearby Enemies have 50% increased Fire and Cold Resistances"? is it because of "25% chance to inflict Fire Exposure on Hit" regardless the increased fire resis?
@GreatTeacher-Windy19 күн бұрын
At first glance, the mod "Nearby Enemies have 50% increased Fire and Cold Resistances" may sound unhelpful; however, it also multiplies negative resistances. For example, if you reduce an enemy's resistance to -50% (through curses, exposure, etc.), Eye of Malice will make their resistance become -50% * 1.5 = -75%.

Your minions might be dying because they deal a critical strike while fighting a pack of monsters. What spectres are you using? For this build, you should use slow-hitting or single-target spectres. Last league, I used Spectral Leader and Syndicate Silencer, and they rarely died. Another option is to link your spectres with Controlled Destruction support.

I'm pretty sure it works given the damage this build has. Try unequipping it, and you'll see a big difference. I also got this from Reddit: "I just tested with level 1 SRS of Enormity, so I can guarantee an explosion + ignite. I got my SRS to exactly 75% res without auras and tested the damage against Act 3 Gravicius, who is a great target because you can let his ES recharge. I used Tavukai, and my minions exploded pretty much instantly as Gravicius hit them. The MI explosion + ignite did considerably and consistently more damage with Purity of Elements + Purity of Fire up. It seems that auras do in fact give the minions more life, despite the tooltip not changing."

@GreatTeacher-Windy12 күн бұрын
There’s no way to make spectres completely never deal a critical hit like Animated Guardian, so you'll need to use ones with slow attacks or those that only hit a single target at a time. Last league, I used Spectral Leader and Syndicate Silencer Spectre, and they almost never died. I haven't played this build this league, but I recommend using Spectral Leader and Perfect Guardian Turtle. The Turtle's aura is less powerful than our Determination, but you can switch Determination to Haste, Flesh and Stone, Grace, or even Discipline if you find yourself struggling to sustain Energy Shield. To compensate for the loss of armor, you can incorporate a Basalt Flask into the build.
@GreatTeacher-Windy12 күн бұрын
If you still want to use the other new spectres, link them with Controlled Destruction Support. Most of these spectres have a base 5% crit chance, so with this support gem linked, they'll only have a 1% chance to crit. But this means no meat shield or minion life though
