PoB: www.poe-vault.com/guides/arakaalis-fang-occultist-build-guide Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! A short showcase rather than a full build guide since it's Christmas and I'm busy with family. Some of you asked me how is the Fang doing this league. Build is still fine boys. Still need to min max. Can almost double the DPS versus Ubers from this point. If you have some free time to play this build this week and you want to upgrade it, take a look at the PoB. This is the strat that I used to farm the currency for the Fang (and solo lvl 100 as well): th-cam.com/video/VZ6tF_0fumM/w-d-xo.html Good luck!
Had a question about the weapon swap tech, when i summon the spiders with the squire out, those spiders are snapshotted, but any spiders summoned after I swap are unlinked? So every so often i should swap to my squire to resummon them? But they are automatically getting summoned by gravebind. Also for the weapon swap I don’t need any gems in my arakaalis fang? But if I summon 18 spiders with my first cast of the flask the remaining 2 spiders will be a level 1 0 link?
Hi! I'm new so I dont understand the cast when channelling support. The skills linked active automatically? Or am I supposed to do something to "channel". Thank you in advance i've been learning lots from your videos 😅
how needed is the mageblood? i got the squire and arakali's so far but want to check if i should wait till i can afford the mageblood before leveling this
just a question, why not use some of the spectres from the wildwood?, one of the spectres is called spider matriarch which gives you increased effect of withered and gives ally spiders extra chaos damage with attacks it also summons spiders itself. is there not enough room for a spectre gem or would the spectre die too often?
Hey. We need to spec into a lot of minion defense nodes. We can make the damage back, but we have to be Glancing Blows instead of True Block. I don't think it's a good tradeoff. Also, Ubers are still gonna destroy our minions.
Played the medium budget Fang build from you, put in about 20-25 divs i can do 8 mod coruped t-16 maps with 6-10k wisp´s farmed about 30 divs today verry solid build. Purple juice is abit anoying mobs gets to tanky i would say not worth it. Tried squier but i don´t like having to sumon spiders and wepon swap all the time, is there no other way to scale dps? would more anamus gaze jewls stack dps?
Hey. Thx! Glad you liked the build. Besides Squire, there aren't that many things that you can do to scale dps. I found a workaround if I can call it that. I currently have 150k ehp even with Squire, because of a 3-flask Mageblood. I roll my maps with the PoE Regex Tool and only swap rarely, for example, during map bosses, if I click on the boss Altars. If you don't want to go for a Mageblood, there's this version from Ben: th-cam.com/video/e9WK-dkHM1A/w-d-xo.html
@@johnsmith797 Hey. It's already on the PoE Vault website. The Uber Version - Work in progress. Minor Changes: Swapped out Brass Dome for Shavs with "you take 50% reduced extra damage from critical strikes" and changed the +1 max res armour mastery to reduced damage from critical strikes. Feels a bit better than Brass Dome, but only if you have a Mageblood.
Hi, I'm following the uber version PoB from PoEvault and I'm really struggling with dps after 120 divs invested (not counting the price of my mageblood). I only have 4.5 million total dps with the Aegis 4L and I was wondering how I can get that up? Are my ghastly eye jewels just bad with low "minions deal chaos/phys flat damage"? And is there a casualdan discord I can post PoB in and get some help? Thanks
Hey. Dps sounds good for Aegis only. What you want to do is add Squire and Awakened Gems. If you already have a Mageblood, the build is gonna be tanky enough even without Aegis, but you're gonna swap the Brass Dome for Shavs: poe.ninja/builds/affliction/character/DannyNickCT/CasualDanArmy?time-machine=week-4 Try to get a Shavs with reduced crit taken, and take the mastery for reduced crit taken (armour). Usually, we don't use Squire for mapping, but Affliction is making these monsters really tanky, so we kinda need Squire this league. I'm gonna tell you how I play the build. I always main Squire, but if I notice a really dangerous situation, maybe if I have a Delirium Mirror active, I summon with Squire and weapon swap to Aegis Aurora. Spiders can snapshot damage. You should still keep the gems that you have in your Fang + Aegis setup. In case you make a mistake and summon with Aegis, you're still gonna have dmg to clear these maps. Good luck!
Hi, I'm a big fan of your builds. I have followed all the guides since the beginning of everything. I would like to request an explanatory video guide about Arakali's build in league 3.23. I wish you a great new year full of joy and great minion constructions. congratulations for your work. I'M YOUR FAN!
Hey. Thx. Glad you like the build. You have a video here explaining everything. www.poe-vault.com/guides/arakaalis-fang-occultist-build-guide The only differences from that video build guide are: 1) We use a Profane Proxy this league 2) We use the Aegis/Squire swap tech during maps as well, because Afflition makes the monsters really tanky: th-cam.com/video/zV7UlKfW0d4/w-d-xo.html 3) Enchants and Alternate Quality gems have been remove from the game 4) We have Charms now, so I added a few It's almost the same build.
Sorry if you go over this, but does the spider matriarch spectre with the line ‘buffs ally spiders with added chaos damage’ work for the spiders from fang, or only the ones that she summons herself?
Hey. It should work, but until we have PoB numbers we can't know how good it is, and if we want to add minions to the build, we're gonna have to spec into a lot of minion survivability nodes, which means less damage and block for us, so I don't think it's worth it.
You're right, but I got used to playing the build like this. I still have enough damage though, to clear tier 16 maps with Affliction, it's just slower. I like the comfort of summoning spiders with Gravebind and the life on kill.
Hello my friend, first of all nice build! small question what are good atlas strats for the build so what's good with the build I don't like bossing! everyone is welcome to answer !
Hey. Almost any farming strategy works well on this build. This is the spreadsheet from the previous league: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Vs_5opWTQqk0--RdMTPSA4IgzxfjwqjgG_BY-ZL55w8/edit?usp=sharing In the left part of the screen you have the Investment section, and under it you have a video link for each farming strategy.
Hey. It works really well, but degens are a problem on this build. Maybe try out the Consecrated Ground Charm, Remove the Infernal Legion + Summon Skitterbots tech, and summon your Spiders with Divine Ire instead. You're gonna free up some reservation ,and you can add Vitality. Use Flares if you wanna go for Darkness farming.
Hey. Awakened Multistrike, dropping a bit of block, and adding more cluster nodes, better reservation to add Malevolence, level 6 20% Awakened Gems. Although for mapping I wouldn't do this, Awakened Deadly Ailments is more damage than Awakened Melee Phys. It's gonna be really expensive to upgrade the build past this point, and I'm gonna do that in the final month of the league.
Ah shit here we go again. Also is using specters a good enough trade? I have been using the turtle, tiger, forest worrier and warlord. I also used purity of fire, ice and lightning for 87 all res and 90 cold res
Yup, Fang strong! Well, you're playing Fang to not have to deal with minion survivability issues. I have a PoB with a lot of minion defence nodes, but with this setup I can get true block, more damage, and only have to worry about myself vs Ubers. In mapping, it's really hard to die with this setup since only degens hurt. I don't think it's worth it tbh, but I hope I'm wrong. Also, you're still gonna have to drop the minions vs Ubers since no matter what you do to them, they won't survive.
Hey. Yes. I usually just play with Squire, but when I notice a dangerous rare, I swap to Aegis Aurora. Spiders snapshot their damage. Although the Aegis + Fang setup is rarely used during maps, you should still have gems in there as well. If you summon your spiders with Aegis + Fang it's less damage, but still enough to clear maps, although a bit slower. If you find that the character is not tanky enough without Aegis then swap to Squire, summon spiders and swap back to Aegis.
@@shifty1862 Mageblood 2-3 Flask first because Aul is gonna give you some problems to fix with chaos resistance for example and dexterity, and you're gonna spend more. Then, you're gonna get your Mageblood, you have high dex there, and you're gonna swap small clusters again.
I tried playing A. Fang this league but my spiders were really struggling with blue and purple wisped monsters. Not sure what was wrong :( If you can take down ubers maybe i should try to reassmble it
playin the 15m dps of the build cuz the only thing i know to do is farming harvest which would took too long to have enough for a mageblood :( but its still super good regardless
Hey. Glad you like the build. You don't need a 4 flask Mageblood on this build. 2 flask is good, 3 flask is perfect. You can try to farm it using this: th-cam.com/video/FuTF-ybZbxU/w-d-xo.html
@@pascald851 You wanna use both on this version: th-cam.com/video/zV7UlKfW0d4/w-d-xo.html If you have a 2-3 flask Mageblood, then it should be good enough to just use the Squire + Mageblood.
Hey. Doable, but you need to know the fights. Shaper Projectiles one shot outside of Molten Shell. This league you can get full spell supp with spell supp charms, Green Nightmare, and Mageblood. Or maybe you can go for spell supp Gloves and summon Spiders with Divine Ire.
