[3.8] A CI/LL Tri-Curse Herald of Agony Occultist [Deathless Uber Elder, League Starter]

Hi guys, newbie question here:

I see some of the min/max builds (like gjmine09's) not using Added Fire Damage Support in their HoA gem setup, but still having Elemental Equilibrium in their passive tree. Am I missing something there in why we would still want EE, or might it be better to remove EE and take another node if we're not using the Added Fire Damage Support gem?

When I take the node off in PoB, it tells me nothing is changed, but I'm a PoB newb so I'm not sure I should trust that.

Thanks

You still proc EE with the additional fire damage corruption on the quiver, you're just adding a multiplier for the % cold damage from Hatred rather than added fire.

Great, thanks! Didn't notice the fire damage corruption and didn't know EE could add damage to Hatred...PoE's complexity never ceases to impress me.

I'm looking at trying the ES version of Herald of Agony, currently playing my own tri-curse Champion variant.

Question: Does anyone have trouble with the damage on this build, from checking PoB the crawler only has 765k DPS on Shaper/Guardian, where as the version I'm playing has 2M Shaper/Guardian.

Thanks in advance.

Have been loving this build. It was squishy at first as a league starter because of the nature of the passive tree, but when I hit level 64 and equipped the Soul Strike quiver, survivability went up a lot.

Feeling extremely tanky now with around 7,000 ES and DPS is not an issue - crawler takes down T7 map bosses quickly and easily.

As you can see I'm only using a 4-link Herald of Agony so far! So much room for DPS improvement. I also just finished Uber lab deathless on first try.

Thanks!

Sittin at a bit over 3m/projectile S/G dps here. Crawler sometimes oneshots portals in the UE fight because he hits them with several proj. You should read a few pages back from this for the details, since the initial post doesnt cover upper damage setups.

P.S. Speaking of the 1st post. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Vatinas, for that picture in the beginning on the build. I was browsing through build forum threads looking for something interestring. That pictrue/schematic caught my eye and stopped me at this amazing build. That picture, sir, is brilliant!

Can you link your pastebin please

That's my video. The mtx is celestial herald effect.

Here's my min/max build video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLTvjCP4Mc8

The details in the youtube description;

18.5k ES CI
3.5 Million Shaper DPS
9000/sec ES Recharge
0.8 Recharge Delay
1100/sec ES Regeneration
Triple Curse

16k ES in good gear POB;
https://pastebin.com/rSmZaN32

You need great gear to push 17k-18k ES.

I have just been following the guide, not sure what to work towards from here. It looks like the next pieces would be an elder bow / corrupted shaper gloves (with curse on hit so i can drop a curse from 6link bow for faster attacks), a rare belt, boots, nicer helm and chest. Also a lvl 4 enlighten to run dread banner / hatred.

What order should I work on these upgrades, have like 15ex to spend atm. Going to try to kill uber elder in the next day or so, any advice? (already spawned him)

Also I crafted
would this be worth annulling and then multimod or should i try to get a better roll before multimod?
