just finished campaign with my chronomancer currently leveling in maps, having a lot of fun, ty for this build Lazy Exile its very unique and off meta, love it having so much fun ^^ I anointed Instant Reload - to counter the downside of the rampart raptor, also using couple emerald jewels with increased reload speed, currently at 0.59seconds on reload time, i just hold my right mouse button in and just run around, no waiting around for reload which is awesome can highly recommend :D Thank you again Lazy, cant wait to see what build you cook next :)
While I'm a little sad to see yet another HoWA build, props to you for using something like Rampant Raptor! This version looks pretty incredible, nicely done Lazy!
I think HOWA is justified in this case, using something else to scale damage so you can use the Unique's weapons people think are bad is good design in my opinion, It just sucks HOWA feels like the only way to do this currently, which is killing build variety
mobs should be kinda slow, and you should just kill them no? build is never meant for tanking, you should avoid stuff, and shield will prevent one shot
Finally finished camping with my new character and changed to this build and its so beautiful, I still need to level up to get into the full build (am lvl 64 rn) but its so good, thanks!
Great guide, well put together. You should live stream on twitch and try further grow your audience, youd be a great creator in the poe space i am sure
I appreciated that. I don’t have any plan so far because I’m still working a job. I also don’t feel like a have the eloquence that streamers do, and don’t see myself talking for 8 hours 😅😅
Firstly, thanks for the awesome build. Super excited to try this out. One thing to note though. I am making this swap at lvl 69 on my sorc but...the cost is nowhere near 10 div. In buying the gear from scratch as I had a different build.... In the current market for roughly the same or worse gear. The jewelry was 2-3 each. Good luck getting the HoWa for less than 2 div. Not to mention the cost of armor (2-4 div pending how much ES you want)/boots around 1-2 div (can budget this if you forego FRW) /circlet(around a div). So all in all 12-18 divine orbs. This was with me searching offline sellers as well.
you can get stuff going for less than 10 divs: - each jewels with increased area of effect + 1 of the desired mod is around: 15-20ex - xbow - 1-10ex - HoWA - 4 div - Rings - 1 div each - ES gears (get cheap stuff - 20-30ex should works) - Amulet - 1 div I transitioned from the previous build and it was working decently with just HoWA and the swapped passive trees (didn't even change my jewels)
@@LazyExile i bought literally the same gear (as close as i could get) as in your vid pausing when you hovered to get the stats. I missed out on 5% light res but it was just impossible to get. Maybe budget gear wouldve cost less but as it stands i still only have like 4k ES so i think im missing something in the passive tree. Hope it works out tho. Thanks for the reply as always!
sick build. rampart raptor is going to be the quillrain of crossbows lol, can see it in CoC set ups using rapid shot, maybe even an elemental expression build on invoker lol.
Out of curiosity, which of your crossbow builds are you having more fun with? This or your merc? This looks WILDLY cool and I'm excited to try it out, but I was curious which is more fun to play the game with. :)
Heyo, im playing ur setup but on my deadeye and its being pretty good! Great build! tysm for the content, i tried to build towards this skill a while ago and failed XD
Simply - Wow! I need more learn english to comment your content🙂 How do you think is this possible to level witch with this build? I mean switch to siege cascade at 58 lvl. Or without HOWA need to use your previous version with frost wall? UPD: Oh, written guide there is. I was so fast because impressed
very creative skill manipulation, you should link up your twitch channel for each video, you can maybe just try to stream weekends, im sure you can amass a following, thanks for sharing your build!
8:45 you want "HoT to kill" but you have culling in emergency reload 7:37, isn't it kinda overlap? also if i take out HoT, will it affect the DPS? in the BOSS showcase looks like Siege Cascade already wiping the Enemy and HoT not really doin anything
You have to watch and understand the reason, HoT doesn’t have to kill everything and Emergency Reload doesn’t have 100% uptime. Also if you want to swap gem for bosses, feel free to put attrition in and turn off HoT
Haven’t die once or get one shotted, but if you stand in a lot of effect you might. Taking out grim feast in the HoWA setup might be ok since you sustain your ES pretty well
@blondiwithstyle thx the only way I had been able to get it to work previously was with pin via physical damage is now pinning support. Didn't think that other cc would count as well
@@LazyExile ty! Is it obvious I am diablo player poking around aimlessly with poe2 lol. Still not used to tooltips giving valuable (or even correct) information
Amazing build! I've tried the HoWA set up and it's really busted with Rampant. However, it's really killing my PC, so I went back to using rare crossbow and frost wall for clearing. Any chance to incorporate a variant with HoWA without rampant to the guide for those that are not willing to risk their PC's life? Thank you so much !
@@LazyExile Noted! My current issue is that i can't seem to chain my heralds so clear is a bit slow. I think I'm not dealing enough cold damage as we are stacking lightning with HoWA. Tried to add flat cold in my weapon and ring, but it still not enough to freeze. It was easily doable with my Invoker since Invoker has passives to add % extra cold damage. Might need to use Polcekiln but that would make me lose an attribute ring. Any tips?
Nevermind, I followed the passive tree from the double herald variant instead of the HoWA tree (still using the HoWa) and modify a bit and it seems to solve the issue. Thanks!
you're missing a lot of skill effects, they are taken on the passive skills tree (the green line represent the weapon set 2 skill points), and whenever you swap to your 2nd weapon, it'll activate, and you will have more skill effect duration
you just need to make sure you're holding the bow (which is in the weapon slot 2) and it should count. You can also open the skill details and look to make sure
Is this version better than the vine arrow one? I made a chronomancer and made it to level 80 using vine arrow, but sometimes I struggle to clear mobs quick enough because they destroy my frost walls very quickly
@LazyExile Time to respec then 😅. Btw thanks Lazy, your videos are so good how you explain every aspect of the builds you make, and I love how they are always off-meta but so effective, you're my favourite POE TH-camr, thank you so much!
if you want to optimize, you can do that I guess. Dex is pretty good too because it gives attack speed and we double dip the dex - attack speed on the passive skills tree as well.
Hi, I am having trouble surviving with this build. I am at 3108 Es with resists capped, but still get oneshot in T15 Breaches or somtimes just to a barrage of projectiles that come my way. Any tips of what I am doing wrong?
you want to play safe until you can ramp up on your grim feast at least, which is not hard because we're a chronomancer and we have temporal chain. If you're playing HoWA, you should have plenty of damage
can you not kill them at all? or how do they just get to surround and kill you. You can press Emergency Reload right when breach open and start blasting
For the budget build is it worth while investing more into the herald damage nodes? over say elemental damage etc? i tried the HoWAbuild too but does so much less dmg for me as I cant seem to get my herald of ligniting to proc im lvl 74. Any ideas?
I did invest some points in herald node, but I think it might be worth to invest in herald damage and AoE as well. I’ll wait for the patch and will update it. For the HoWA version, make sure you have conduction in Siege Cascade
I would not get MoM because defensively we are so strong already. We have good ES with Grim Feast, we have good sustain with Shock Siphon, and everything is slow, time freeze, etc, so overall its very safe
Hello, thanks for your video, i just rush a Chronomancer after this :D I have a problem with siege cascade, i cant use it, i'm stupid or i miss something ? Maybe both btw lol
it's not a spell, you need to equip a crossbow use siege cascade as an attack. So you have to bind the skill to the crossbow attack. The normal skill is for you to load the siege cascade ammo, not to shoot
Hi i change to your howa build, not so good at the moment lvl 81, without jewlery, can you Tell me the level of your buffs, die you level this at maximum?
my jewelry in this video kinda sucks, to make HoWA version better, you want 2x good breach ring with flat damage, howa, xbow and that's it. It should works at lv 81
How does system not lag/freeze frame from all that during a Breach? I have a 3080 and 5800x, but my game just doesn't like it when I do T15+ breaches. Lags me out, freezes the screen so I die and I've even been kicked back to Character Select multiple times. I gave up on Breaches with how unstable it gets.
you would be missing out on damage, I'm not sure if it would feels good before grabbing all those lightning damage nodes, but you can work your way up then its fine. Don't go into T15 right away
My build is complete minus so passive tree points. i dont seem to be getting the duration on skills like yours not sure what ive missed. Build is fun though
my spirit is not anything particular, all aura is pretty much active on both weapon. For the duration on the skill, you want to set it up for weapon set 2, and whenever you cast time freeze, swap to your weapon slot 2 to benefits from all the increased skill effect duration nodes.
How to Shock enermy with this build ? I use Rampant Raptor and 2 x rings with 80+ lighting dmg to attack but Herald of thunder never trigger. need to use Siege Cascade x 20 times to clear 1 group of monster. or I need 400 int (now at 170 int) to buff dmg = more shock ? any advice for me I love to play with this cool build but It's don't work for me (Lv.82 rn)
overwhelming presence should also help the shock chance, you can see that mobs around me are getting shock, electrocute so it's definitely working for me, and it's my exact setup
the slow and time freeze is invaluable imo.. it adds major protection on your character and as OP said in previous video, the slow helps seige hit the target even when walking.
I really have no idea, but like I can't see GGG just gutted HoWA to the ground though. Attribute stackers have always been a thing in PoE, so we'll have to see
Reached lvl 90 with this character, did the campaign with widowhail/quivers and I have to say it's been an absolute blast this far. Completely destroying T4 Xesht before he even has time to move. Mainly playing breaches with high monsters density and the screen wide clearspeed is amazing, you made the perfect build for me, thank you very much for sharing it with us!! Can't wait to see the future improvements!
Uh oh lol! This is my first poe game, and I'm just trying to imagine how much crazier the game will be when all the other classes become available with all the interactions. So fun.
you can start with HoWA + Rampart Raptor, around level 80 should be good. If you swap earlier, then just work your way up from low tier map to higher tier map
@@LazyExile of course, but if people follow the written guide, adding things to get on gear, and what things to get on jewels like a top 5 is always good and more useful info. like you just type ur top picks for these things after watching the video most just follow the guide
Ingenuity, better breach rings, attributes mortis, and heroic tragedy to convert int to give evasion and go evasion/es base, get a gg crossbows for better damage, etc…
I would say at around level 80-85, but if you have all the gears, it can works from level 65. I made the switch at 65 and it was fine. You just have to work your way up a bit.
searching for a way to improve witchhunter endgame and stumbled onto this unexpected shit... so you are telling me it´s not siege cascade being trash but just the witch hunter acendency, im crying
@@LazyExile they aren't doing any meta changes this patch. Have you thought about replacing the vine skill with something that cause harold to proc more often or some other skill that does more damage in the starting levels? I'm at 65, i'm tanky and don't recieve a ton of damage, but i'm wondering if theres a way to increase the aoe and clear speed on the build.
yea I mean balance patch that comes later. Vine skill is essential for single target damage. If you want to try the double herald setup, you can try it out. But you should transition to HoWA setup at around level 80+ and you'll enjoy it a lot more
@@LazyExile I was running the skill rotation wrong. Siege cascade clears well, I was using vine arrow and siege to clear. Technically, couldn't war banner and overwhelming presence be swapped for cast on shock, to cast ball lighting to get herald of thunder to proc way more on mapping. Like entire screen mapping?
@@LazyExile i'm thinking shooting glacial bolt at enemy and let my seige totem detonate that frost wall. almost like your build, but more lazy and lower dps
@ yeah def not the build as I can see the damage you do in the video. The Gloves are the only thing I am missing. I know that’s a key part. I am only 65 as well. Also, as a new player, I can’t get more than 3 sockets in my skills. All that being said, I do feel like I should be able to do more damage to T1 Maps. I followed your guide on Mobalytics too. But I should be able to do damage to the enemies.
you can't play the HoWA version if you are missing the glove, you need to play the double herald one or you won't do any damage. Use the double-herald setup first, get a decent crossbow. 3 sockets are plenty for T1 map, you just need proper ring with flat damage, max out resistance, etc... I went over those in the guide
@ I am following the double herald budget build to a T. Outside of the 4+ sockets of the skills. Also, I think maybe I followed the wrong path in the Passive Tree. For being only 65, I don’t have access to some nodes. The pathing of the Passive Tree is weird on Mobalytics. Have you seen Maxrolls? You can literally follow along with a click of a button. Appreciate the feedback.

Thank you again Lazy, cant wait to see what build you cook next :)
0.59 seconds? I have 1 seconds, wow! it must felt pretty nice I might actually try that haha
R you using HOWA?
Damn, every time I see one of your videos I always get the "woah, that's a giga brain move!"- feeling.
Haha thanks! 😆
This build is so awesome, I'm excited to try it out once I have off of work! Gonna speed level a chrono for this
Have fun!
While I'm a little sad to see yet another HoWA build, props to you for using something like Rampant Raptor! This version looks pretty incredible, nicely done Lazy!
Thank you 😊 Rampart Raptor gives a lot of QoL actually, its kinda nice
I think HOWA is justified in this case, using something else to scale damage so you can use the Unique's weapons people think are bad is good design in my opinion, It just sucks HOWA feels like the only way to do this currently, which is killing build variety
@ I agree completely
its not really surprising as howa really is op and probably the best gloves in the game rn
Eventually, we’ll have other way to scale damage, but such is the state of build making right now
Awesome build, I've been having a lot of fun using it. Nice to see a different way of playing chronomancer.
Hey, thanks!
I'm having serious survivability issues. Siege Cascade shots are inaccurate, and I can't tank effectively with 4k shield
mobs should be kinda slow, and you should just kill them no? build is never meant for tanking, you should avoid stuff, and shield will prevent one shot
Nice, it looks exactly as good and fun as i thought it would look !

UPD: Oh, written guide there is. I was so fast because impressed
you can do without HoWA in the beginning, and leveling will need a different build honestly. Swap at level 65 to be more comfortable
Not sure if i missed this but what jewels are you using and how fast are you reloading?
I asume you have something for reloading in the gems?
Very creative build ! I was trying to make siege cascade work on witchhunter but sadly can't see it do well on bossing without time freeze
You should have a lot more damage than chronomancer right?
very creative skill manipulation, you should link up your twitch channel for each video, you can maybe just try to stream weekends, im sure you can amass a following, thanks for sharing your build!
Thanks for the advice, maybe I’ll do that when I have everything setup! Thanks 😊
do you have any tips for mapping on the mire layout. my frost walls dont expand on the bridges and the seige cascade sometimes wont go across it.
it's quite annoying, but it's doable, you just need to be in melee range
8:45 you want "HoT to kill" but you have culling in emergency reload 7:37, isn't it kinda overlap?
also if i take out HoT, will it affect the DPS? in the BOSS showcase looks like Siege Cascade already wiping the Enemy and HoT not really doin anything
You have to watch and understand the reason, HoT doesn’t have to kill everything and Emergency Reload doesn’t have 100% uptime. Also if you want to swap gem for bosses, feel free to put attrition in and turn off HoT
@@LazyExile thanks for the answer, some other question if u don't mind, How often you get one shoted? is taking out grim feast would be problem?
Haven’t die once or get one shotted, but if you stand in a lot of effect you might. Taking out grim feast in the HoWA setup might be ok since you sustain your ES pretty well
instead of vine arrow, can we use glacial bolt that create ice objects so we dont weapon swap?
Build looks sick , but you and I have different definitions of mid budget :D
if budget = 1 div, then mid-budget is 10 div right?
Hi LAzy, do you think this build can get nerf with the patch later? planning to follow this guide.
just wait for the patch, it's coming soon
Great build as always! Hope it survives the nerfs 😂
Reckoning day tomorrow
Swapped to the build and on first pull it crashed my game which honestly makes it even better
might wanna hold off a bit on your trigger button because it's pumping out too much deeps xD
I don't wanna lvl a fourth char at this point but this looks so fun...are pinning and time stop only two ways to trigger "immobilized" in poe 2?
stun, freeze and electrocute should work as well?

awesome build, having fun with it on lvl 67. However, my time freeze only 4 sec with recommended gems - what am I missing?
you're missing a lot of skill effects, they are taken on the passive skills tree (the green line represent the weapon set 2 skill points), and whenever you swap to your 2nd weapon, it'll activate, and you will have more skill effect duration

you just need to make sure you're holding the bow (which is in the weapon slot 2) and it should count. You can also open the skill details and look to make sure
How's the bossing like WITHOUT vine arrow, in the scenario that GGG does do something about that interaction?
it would say it's much worst, but you can always use frost wall. It's not the same though, but until then, vine arrow is just the best option
i think HoWA is going to first on the chopping block
Patch note out soon so we dont have to guess
so what damage are you doing mostly to the boss, is it lightning?
yes it's HoWA, so that's mostly flat lightning damage
@@LazyExile lot of boss damage with that lightning. Thank you for the quick response
np man! enjoy 😊
Is this version better than the vine arrow one? I made a chronomancer and made it to level 80 using vine arrow, but sometimes I struggle to clear mobs quick enough because they destroy my frost walls very quickly

you'll have to work out the detail yourself, but it might, there are a lot of unexplored stuff

HoWA + 2 breach rings (with the best flat damage, lightning % damage, and attribute (int) if possible
How do you leveling if you do it with the first character?
tbh, I haven't thought about it, but probably the same with other caster, spark + flame wall
Can I use this build at level 52 as soon as I can wear HOWA if I already have them?

My build is complete minus so passive tree points. i dont seem to be getting the duration on skills like yours not sure what ive missed. Build is fun though
also can you show or explain your spirit skill set up
my spirit is not anything particular, all aura is pretty much active on both weapon.
For the duration on the skill, you want to set it up for weapon set 2, and whenever you cast time freeze, swap to your weapon slot 2 to benefits from all the increased skill effect duration nodes.
@LazyExile ok awesome thanks, how much spirit do you have and are you running blink? Thank you for your replies.
How do i put my time freeze on weapon set two? Im on console btw it dosent let me choose it just says attack in place
sorry I don't play console, but there have to be a way to bind it
Nice laid out guide!
thanks!
whats the future upgrades?
I wrote in another comment, but ingenuity, heroic tragedy and go into evasion/es base might be good
@@LazyExile Where would you put the Heroic tragedy?
near Whisper of Doom
@@LazyExile Sorry for the 100 questions but does it matter what number the jewel has on it?
number don't matter, it's the name, Olroth is what you're looking for
For the Quill rain bow if i got 3 socket. what should i put in? lightning attck , cold attack and fire?
attack speed x3 always
@@LazyExile but 2 socketed and corrupted with additional bow is for lightning attack and cold attack right?
no quill rain is there for us to shoot the vine arrow
@@LazyExile thank you very much , i have so much fun with this build ^^
oki sounds good 😊
ok boys, we survived the upcoming patch.. time to login boys and do this build. i bought howa for 2D just awhile ago.
that's cheap, its good
@@LazyExile yeah, and cant wait for the patch. there's a good chance raptor crossbow would catch a buff considering it's a low lvl unique.
haha imagine that! I would be so happy
fellow chrono here, great video!
Hey, thanks!
How to Shock enermy with this build ? I use Rampant Raptor and 2 x rings with 80+ lighting dmg to attack but Herald of thunder never trigger. need to use Siege Cascade x 20 times to clear 1 group of monster. or I need 400 int (now at 170 int) to buff dmg = more shock ? any advice for me I love to play with this cool build but It's don't work for me (Lv.82 rn)
I'm in the same boat as well ... Herald of thunder rarely triggered.
do you have conduction for shock chance in siege cascade?
@@LazyExile yes. I follow the guide.
overwhelming presence should also help the shock chance, you can see that mobs around me are getting shock, electrocute so it's definitely working for me, and it's my exact setup
it isn't be good with gemling? if we are stat stacking :D
Yes it should works with gemling, however, you are missing all the ultilities that Chronomancer have to offers
the slow and time freeze is invaluable imo.. it adds major protection on your character and as OP said in previous video, the slow helps seige hit the target even when walking.
How is the boss DPS when they nuke vine arrow into oblivion tomorrow?
GGG gotta do what they gotta do I guess
@@LazyExile Ive never been happier to be wrong! :P
until the nerf patch, it's all buff now lol
this is so gg lady ,, u make me sign in youtube ,,, put like n share .. XD
haha thanks :D
hi, how much at least spirit need when build the gear, 190 is enough ?
200 should be enough, or to be precise 198 should be safe to run my setup
you honestly might be the best poe 2 player in the world
There are way better theorycrafter,s players than me but I appreciated that 😊
@@LazyExile what do you take for the venome viles in the acts
i took mana regen and +5 all attributes
@@LazyExile i fixed it, which build setup for the siege cascade do you prefer for mapping and bossing ? howa or the mid budget setup?
sorry, or the other build?
Good Job! Strong Video!
Very stonk indeed
goodbye to your wine arrow + howa for sunday Sadge
Dw warrior is getting nerf first
@@LazyExile 😭Stop he's already dead 😭
Melee players are having fun right and its unacceptable
@@LazyExile Lemongrab_GGG is in charge of melee balance 🥲
Could you play this on a Gemling? :)
certainly you can, but you'll have to adopt it to fit gemling
I was thinking of the same thing after buying Howa.
Now you see it works 😆
Noooooo it's a stat build 😢. I guess you would need to do that to use raptor haha. Cool build idea though.
give it a shot :D it'll be a while til the balance patch
Kind of sad Siege Cascade is better on non merc as someone who mains Merc. I really love Siege Cascade, but couldn't get much use of it
honestly I think witchhunter can build a proper version as well, I just didn't get to do it :D so maybe in the future
is there a leveling guide for this build?
I leveled with my Pillar of the Cage God twink leveling build, check out my previous videos
@@LazyExile the monk looking build? on what level will i transition to this siege cascade build? im a newbie.
you can do it after the campaign at level 65 (but, patch is coming very soon, if you wanna wait for that too it's fine)
@@LazyExile just curious why should i wait for the patch?
@@LazyExile also level 65 is the earliest? i think it takes so long to get to 65. i want to try this build earliest.
Will this clear a t15 map. Why does build work better for chronomancer and not mercenary.
it's not necessary better, but my reasons are explained in the video
Time freeze :)
time freeze and extra slow helps seige hit the walking target.
if HoWa gets nerfed this sunday is this build obliterated?
I really have no idea, but like I can't see GGG just gutted HoWA to the ground though. Attribute stackers have always been a thing in PoE, so we'll have to see
Reached lvl 90 with this character, did the campaign with widowhail/quivers and I have to say it's been an absolute blast this far. Completely destroying T4 Xesht before he even has time to move. Mainly playing breaches with high monsters density and the screen wide clearspeed is amazing, you made the perfect build for me, thank you very much for sharing it with us!! Can't wait to see the future improvements!
thanks for sharing your experience! glad to see you're enjoying and blasting with this build :D
If this survives the next patch, I'm building this.
jungroan and ruetoo is onto the vine arrow train now, I'm scared
Uh oh lol! This is my first poe game, and I'm just trying to imagine how much crazier the game will be when all the other classes become available with all the interactions. So fun.
yea it's well worth the wait honestly, I can't imagine playing PoE 1 anymore xD
How to start form this build TYSM
you can start with HoWA + Rampart Raptor, around level 80 should be good. If you swap earlier, then just work your way up from low tier map to higher tier map
suggestion, in ur moba write up put some jewels for people to use
I show jewels in the video as well. I don't think I can show jewels in my written guide
@@LazyExile of course, but if people follow the written guide, adding things to get on gear, and what things to get on jewels like a top 5 is always good and more useful info. like you just type ur top picks for these things after watching the video most just follow the guide
ah okay, I can do that. I'll update the guide when I can with those mods on jewels
how can I upgrade this build to expensive version?
Ingenuity, better breach rings, attributes mortis, and heroic tragedy to convert int to give evasion and go evasion/es base, get a gg crossbows for better damage, etc…
@@LazyExile big thanks !
Does this build work with merc?
It should, but you will have to do a lot of adjustment
Can you make a railgun build please
plasma blast? I'll think about it
Whats ur pc specs
Pre built PC that I bought like 4 years ago, idk
@@LazyExile need to see if my pc can run it LOL
what level does this build come online?
I would say at around level 80-85, but if you have all the gears, it can works from level 65. I made the switch at 65 and it was fine. You just have to work your way up a bit.
its a shame but i don't see any point in going for any HoWA builds until after seeing the patch's. nice build tho
GGG can’t just get rid of attributes/stat stacking entirely right? Not my first rodeo, but we’ll see
wait fo it so exciting
yess
just looks insane lol
it's really fun!
searching for a way to improve witchhunter endgame and stumbled onto this unexpected shit...
so you are telling me it´s not siege cascade being trash but just the witch hunter acendency, im crying
No witch hunter is good I promises. You'll have to build it a bit different, but it should works (90% sure)
Meanwhile I'm trying a scuffed budget build with the blueflame bracers minus the unique ice ring on a titan of all things 🤣
Sounds like you’re cooking
Very Good
Thanks! 😊
I got an almost perfect rampart for 2 ex
this is fun af lol
yea, gotta enjoy it before the balance patch lol
@@LazyExile they aren't doing any meta changes this patch. Have you thought about replacing the vine skill with something that cause harold to proc more often or some other skill that does more damage in the starting levels? I'm at 65, i'm tanky and don't recieve a ton of damage, but i'm wondering if theres a way to increase the aoe and clear speed on the build.
yea I mean balance patch that comes later. Vine skill is essential for single target damage. If you want to try the double herald setup, you can try it out. But you should transition to HoWA setup at around level 80+ and you'll enjoy it a lot more
@@LazyExile i'm in the howa setup now. I'm enjoying it currently. Just hit level 70. I expect to get better as I path to the points at level 80.
@@LazyExile I was running the skill rotation wrong. Siege cascade clears well, I was using vine arrow and siege to clear. Technically, couldn't war banner and overwhelming presence be swapped for cast on shock, to cast ball lighting to get herald of thunder to proc way more on mapping. Like entire screen mapping?
can i do the same build with mercenary?
You’re going to have to make some adjustments, but its do-able
@@LazyExile i'm thinking shooting glacial bolt at enemy and let my seige totem detonate that frost wall. almost like your build, but more lazy and lower dps
Do you mean artillery ballista? It might works, but it could be a bit clunky to play
thought this was pretty bad ass... but ijust spent all my currency pivoting to this for maps. and i don't do any damage in T1 Maps. Might uninstall...
the build is not the problem, you might have set it up incorrectly
@ yeah def not the build as I can see the damage you do in the video.
The Gloves are the only thing I am missing. I know that’s a key part. I am only 65 as well. Also, as a new player, I can’t get more than 3 sockets in my skills. All that being said, I do feel like I should be able to do more damage to T1 Maps. I followed your guide on Mobalytics too.
But I should be able to do damage to the enemies.
you can't play the HoWA version if you are missing the glove, you need to play the double herald one or you won't do any damage. Use the double-herald setup first, get a decent crossbow. 3 sockets are plenty for T1 map, you just need proper ring with flat damage, max out resistance, etc... I went over those in the guide
@@gmotsjr13 you should follow the previous version without howa.. this version is exclusive if you have the gloves.
@ I am following the double herald budget build to a T.
Outside of the 4+ sockets of the skills. Also, I think maybe I followed the wrong path in the Passive Tree. For being only 65, I don’t have access to some nodes.
The pathing of the Passive Tree is weird on Mobalytics.
Have you seen Maxrolls? You can literally follow along with a click of a button.
Appreciate the feedback.
NICEEEEEE
this build absolutely cooked..... my graphic card
@@LazyExilemine is still alive. Im having fun with a frost mage srs minion build. Perma freeze everything. While walking around with 16k ES lol
Minions are very strong in PoE 2. Glad you’re having fun
Damn, you cooked!
Just like how Siege Cascade cooked my PC! 🤣
Хороший билд мне нравится очень крутой
thanks 😄
