○○○ Patchnotes of Secrets unveiled ○○○
○ Chaos golem now inflict 20% more effext of withers - that is a huge 17% more (++10-90M) dps buff to the whole build! ○ The new Mercenaries of Trarthus will be eg geared as aura-, intimidations-/frenzy charges, and curse-bot with kingmaker (fortify & culling strikes & 50% increased HoA-crit-damage-multiplier) or throw some skills like Icicle Mines of Sabotage - Minefield for 500% HoA-crit-chances to switch out Maata'sTeaching ... So we will have less socket-pressure and a much more easy auras-skilling. ○ The second companion, the new buffed Animate Guardian, not loosing it's gear on death, will be added for 8% more damage (crown of the tyrant), eg fortify & culling strikes & 50% increased HoA-crit-damage-multiplier (kingmaker), or instead as cursebot (18% increased effect of curses, temporal chains), perhaps socketed in a hungry loop too. ○ When we use one of the companions as cursebot, we can anoint our amulet with 'charisma' instead 'whispers of doom' to use the ring-variations hungry loop for AG (elemental army - minion life - meatshield - empower) or Shavronne's Revelation +1000 es, +65 mana-reg. ○ As necro also tanky rare high es or high ward gloves should be able to be squeezed in 3.26 ○ HoA-Guardian: "The Unwavering Faith Ascendancy Passive Skill has been reworked. It now grants 50% increased Reservation Efficiency of Skills." That’s huge and makes the auras- and herald skilling much more easy. That’s equal to 2 additional auras (flesh and stone etc.) or 3 flexible small clusters or jewels. Aurastacking 2.0 ○ Elemancer with new herald-efficiencies, 200% buffed chaos-golem and shockings becomes interesting too. ○ The new Runegraft of Fortress increases armour, es, evasion and ward by 40%. Following as result we could gear more flexible bodyarmours, like high es or high es+ar rare body armours or brass domes. Absolut perfect tanky fitting in the build's allstars-concept. ○ And Runegrafts of the Soulwick add more vaal souls for more vaal discipline-uptime. ○ Example HoA-poison-crit-Necro with +configurations for animate guardian, mercenary, runegraft of fortress and chaos golem of maelstrom (240M damage, 51M ehp): https://pobb.in/FxtDf32b Arachnophilia! I do the maths and pobs soon. It's thumbed around in total a 40-60% big buff in damage and 30-50% in tankyness and ehp. 最後に Chromino#4813 が 2025/06/07 4:18:36 に編集

noice. the Unwavering Faith change is huge and i can actually skip a lot of no before needed reservation on skill tree and/or on gear. Animate Guardian seems like an obv fit for many builds now, but this could be sweet. looking to boost him so he will survice t17 madness with minimum sockets tho. |

At last, after 2 years of playing Jugg / Chieftain I can go back to my beloved Arachophobia(filia). I am curious about prices in first month. I play slow, 2h a day and get resources around month 1. What is your predition? In the old days the biggest problem was getting shield and right Skin of the L. And now? How much self-crafting helps with gearing?

The PoB is ready with the custom configurations for the Mercenaries and Animate Guardian and Runegraft and reservation-buff in the Ascendancy.
Nice 184M in full tankyness. Let it sting! Arachnophilia! https://pobb.in/PckSa20v 最後に Chromino#4813 が 2025/06/09 3:36:00 に編集

" Hey Chromino! Could you share what Ascendancy Class you plan to start this league with? Just wondering if it will be Guardian, Witch, Champion, or something else? I personally thinking about Guardian because of the Unwavering Faith rework and some flexible jewel sockets. Thank you 最後に ikimkimkim#2467 が 2025/06/12 13:01:54 に編集

" You find the ups and downs of all ascendancies on page 474. I personally start as Scion, but a few days delayed, am traveling again. It's the only ascendancy I still did not played with HoA. When that reason would not be, and without high poe-experiences I recommend 1) HoA-Trickster (best against dot-content) 2) HoA Guardian (tanky mix) |

From many league experiences I agree Guardian/Trickster are solid choices for HoA.
I've flip flopped this league from Trickster back to Guardian because of the 50% reservation node. While Trickster has got amazing dot protection with Lethe shade/Heartstopper/Spell breaker/wicked ward combo, Time of need is quite good too. Any new players should concentrate on getting poison chance up ASAP Crawler gives 20% Poison on hit gem gives another 40% but guardian is a long ways from the poison on hit/spell nodes unlike shadow. A few poison on hit jewels/tatoos will help but chance won't be good until post campaign. Scion is known for being a great Aurabot but it worth getting those weaker ascendency nodes for 4 more passive points? |
