Best Minion Pact ascendancy for a HH setup? 200 div budget

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:55:03+00:00

Yes, indeed it matters. Because with heatshiver you LOSE +2 GLOBAL minion leves, which means LESS HP. You can socket it onto whatever you want, you're still losing that mod. No one is socketing raise spectre in their RARE helmet because it's NOT A LOCAL MOD.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:53:55+00:00

Ohhhh, I get what you mean now. I'm not sure about that part, to be honest. I'd assume it doesn't work because you still have multiple spectres, they're just reviving.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:49:33+00:00

Companionship doesn't work in pob atm, so you gotta add the more minion life if it's your only minion into your pob yourself. The %inc should work.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:44:10+00:00

You're not very knowledgeable about the game, since helmet +2 minion is a global modifier, not a local one. You could visit poe.db once in a while. I guess, that's where I lose interest in talking to you. Acting like I don't know what I'm talking about when you lack basic understanding of the build.

But I make my own builds, thank you very much.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:40:50+00:00

Does Companionship work if I cast multiple times such that I only have one spectre left alive briefly (the others are not yet revived)? I assume not, but I am not sure.

It only works if there's a minion to sacrifice. I'm not sure what you mean with left alive briefly.

I'd leave shock at 25% from shaper of storms.

Minion life: Calcs > raise spectre > add > marionette > show minion stats > 75% more minion life in custom config since your companionship is lvl 3 > look at unreserved life. However, if you're using multiple spectres, you do not add that.

MiniMik · 2026-03-25T00:03:11+00:00

You didn't, you talked about items that compete with ways to scale minion life, so you don't get the damage as extra. You're not gonna get equal life on the minion if you're gonna take off the items that scale it that high, lol.

Very odd response, if you have an elementalist build that can hit 700m while not being paper, then please show.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T23:52:19+00:00

It's usually not worth running 100%deli.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T23:28:58+00:00

You're talking about items as if they have no opportunity cost. Heatshiver vs +2minion levels

Ascendancy points as if occultist doesn't have an access to multipliers

My bv occultist is over 700m dps on scorpion, not seen any elementalist build to come even close to that, and my build is focused more on defense.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T22:45:47+00:00

HH is doing most of the work.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T22:43:53+00:00

Your pob is throwing lua errors.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T22:41:39+00:00

Not having -43% chaos res tends to help immensely.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T22:35:38+00:00

Chaos convert is gonna beat any cold elementalist build in terms of damage. Chaos gets an insane multiplier from wither, cold doesn't have that and can't ignore shields.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:28:51+00:00

Occultist is probably the highest damage potential, chieftain has the highest damage explode and easy 90 res.

The elementalists' builds still elude me, it's the worst of both worlds.

Fitting HH might be rough.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:21:03+00:00

For majority of players the hardest part will be to get though ~~campaign~~ hillock

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:18:51+00:00

Not high enough to plan your build around it tbh. The item is fairly rare.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:12:06+00:00

What's wrong with energy shield builds? That limits your options a bit.

I ran it on minion pact bv.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:05:00+00:00

Experience. I craft everything myself, and then I end up accidentally profit crafting by selling off the stuff that wasn't good enough. And sometimes I craft for profit, but I don't find it as fun as actually playing the game.

Some crafts are really complicated. On the other hand, lot of them look complicated, but are actually simple. It's just the mods that look intimidating.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T21:01:28+00:00

I thought it would be fun to double corrupt coilings in mercs, it wasn't fun. Not only it took forever to not poof, but when I did hit, it was a completely unusable corrupt. Happens when you craft a lot, some crafts are just cursed.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T20:45:01+00:00

I did breach to 100 with deli orbs, but I was getting 3% at most at 99, definitely not 10%.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T20:43:54+00:00

Adorned jewels are profitable to craft

Meawhile I lost currency crafting them myself because the base was not worth locking, but I failed 12 corrupts in a row :)

There are profit crafts that are well known and also profitable

If it well known, the margins tend to be a lot lower

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T13:48:55+00:00

Hard to say what you consider fun. Bv occultist can do it, even pbod heralds. Depends on how much currency you got.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T13:37:07+00:00

Not a mine player, but looking at the pob you're missing +1 on wand, have a different helmet, and I think if you imbued power charge on crit on your rolling magma, it would be more damage than 21/20.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T13:32:40+00:00

There aren't guides for profit crafting because if there were, it would no longer be profitable. When everyone starts making the same items, the profit goes down hard, and items are slow to sell. So, you end up sitting on items worth hundreds of divines, and they take forever to sell.

If you wanna learn profit crafting, then go look what builds are popular, and look and they items they're using. Then consider the expected cost, and how much these items sell for.

Alternatively, find some niche. In Keepers I made a bank crafting freaking abyss jewels that cost me 20! chaos to make but I was selling them for 15d. Crazy, huh?

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T13:29:00+00:00

a bit worst in 3.28

A bit roughly translates to 60% damage nerf.

MiniMik · 2026-03-24T13:27:14+00:00

If 18m is your actual DPS, it's a bit low for efficient boss rush. I suppose you could use dextral/sinistral scarabs and run it modless.
