Hey everyone map stash tabs are available to buy in the store now :yaycloud:

e. the store page doesn't seem to have an image of it but it has this description: "Add a Map Stash Tab to your account. Map stash tabs can hold 72 of each map type.
Map stash tabs can be listed as public, allowing them to integrate with community trade tools."

Yeah it takes a few days for ngamahu to fall to affordable range, but you can just 2h sunder or normal cyclone until you pick it up. I'll probably sunder my way to one.

I hate Zombies but I'm left with a 4L helm option if I don't do Zombies/Animate Guardian. My setup currently does not have CWDT configured. If I were doing Wickermen I would probably stick with the double Dyadus Guardian, but I'm planning on doing Solar Guards.

I guess I should just level a Guardian anyway?

I want to follow this HOWA build but the only leveling guide is from a HC guy and says to sunder 1-70 then respec. gently caress that.

Anyone have any input on leveling this? Without it, I'm just going to look at his 6l and grab skill gems where they become available.

or you could do cwdt - IC- phase run - inc duration and just be extra safe. A guardian with a leer cast/dying breath/curse on hit gloves will probably be a big damage buff still though.

Why is no one talking about the new abyss jewels?? Their mods were pulled from the client and they look ridiculous. Like, more than a steel ring with added phys ridiculous. Really wide mod pool so they'll be hard to craft too.

The easy way to level HOWA is with a pair of hands of thought and action, but you aren't going to be getting HOWAs or HOTAs for a few days anyways most likely. Won't be dropping for anyone til people hit maps.

If you don't want to do sunder, you can still level as spectral throw and basically the same tree, just keep an eye out for rare ele claws probably and focus on getting damage nodes on the tree instead of purely stacking int. I'd also consider going CI instead of hybrid since you aren't getting instant leech either way now.

e. and good luck getting a good abyss jewel, gonna hold off building around any til I see how often they drop. Hopefully they're like, breach ring quantity, but without the breach ring quality.

I guess I'll still do a guardian then. Probably just link it with Minion Life/Fortify/Melee Splash.

edit: I don't need curse gloves for it, since I'll be using Arc and CoH to apply both eweak and flammability

Totems can be cheap. I think pizzasticks (flameblast totems) are considered a decent starter build.

I did see someone mention going CI now because of the leech changes. I'd be fine with that, although I'm not sure what that does to the skill tree. I've never done CI before.

What's the abyss jewel? The only non-rare jewel I see is Fertile Mind, which isn't an abyss jewel, is it?

If you've got a better HOWA ST guide you think is worth following, I'm happy to take a gander.

After like the first 24 hours Ngamahu's is usually 20-30chaos, which should be easily affordable along with the jewelers by the time you reach act 10/maps. I've managed this in legacy, turmoil, mayhem and one other. Also, I always want a build that uses a specific unique weapon as my starter because rares are always gonna be harder to find.

Best HOWA build IMO is https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2011311 You might have to augment the build a bit for ST because I believe he uses BF, but it should be no problem.

Also, I've seen people asking how you do CI builds since 3.0. This is a perfect example, high regen, and incandescent heart can be amazing for the right builds.

Facebreaker totems should be pretty darn good since there's good potential for more flat phys than normal via the abyss jewels.

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/MrDespair/characters/Run_The_Mirrors_MrD is a goofy facebreaker build I did in legacy (probably better ways to do it, and voidheart sure ain't doing anything anymore, but gruthkul's owns for the increased character size if nothing else), and https://pastebin.com/q6KzbAxz is a chieftain based build that I did for the mayhem race which I liked as a league starter, since you can focus on the totem damage nodes early, and then branch out into 2h axes, swords, or maces, or even 1h axes/swords/maces, depending on what 3-400 pdps weapon you find first as you near/reach maps. And then well, respec into facebreakers once you actually have the stuff to make it worthwhile.

The abyss ghastly jewels for minions.

Prefixs are mostly added damage, but the suffixs can be interesting.

(15-20)% increased Minion Damage if you've used a Minion Skill Recently
Minions have (6-8)% increased Attack and Cast Speed if you or your Minions have Killed Recently
Minions have (4-6)% increased Attack Speed / (4-6)% increased Cast Speed
Minions have (6-8)% chance to Taunt on Hit with Attacks
Minions Regenerate (0.4-0.8)% Life per second
Minions Leech (0.3-0.5)% of Damage as Life
Minions have (6-10)% increased Movement Speed
Minions have (8-12)% increased maximum Life

Keep in mind you can have multiples of these socketed.

I was off my desktop at the time, here's the relevant builds:

Inquisitor: https://pastebin.com/tF25Dp5B
MoM Necro: https://pastebin.com/5G1NtiJS
Non-MoM Necro: https://pastebin.com/jeU3h6AM

I figured that lvl 20 Firestorm has the same targeting behavior as Volatile Dead and lvl 20 Firestorm does 202 damage per hit on average, lvl 20 Volatile Dead with Spell Cascade does like 460, which is a 227% difference, so I just put +127% more damage on the glove to simulate per hit damage. The flat damage scaling from Anger is difference so I leveled it down but I don't think I did a good job with the math so that number is probably off, it's not a huge difference no matter what. Cast speed is slightly better on VD, base crit is the same, and the only thing you're really looking at is damage per hit.

I did a glacial cascade totem inquisitor as a starter in harbinger and loved it. The only uniques needed are a soul mantle and 1-2 kikazaru to get out a 3rd totem, and honestly I was in late yellow maps before I even bothered to get that.

GC is in a good place still and is strong pretty much as soon as you can get the gem

It's good advice to be honest, HOTA's literally only drop in maps, and only if you're lucky enough to get a breach to spawn, and only if you're lucky enough that it's an esh breach, and then only if you're lucky enough for them to drop a breach unique.

And then you want that to happen twice, and then you want to either farm up enough splinters for an esh breach stone, and hope that you get a blessing of esh out of it, and then do that a 2nd time, and maybe a third or fourth time.

HOWA's are great, but you should realize that breach uniques aren't exactly easy to get day1.
