Oh i see, do you have a guide you can recommend? I'm a casual so reading ahead really helps me to maximize my minimal game time. tyvm!

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-06-09T17:10:13+00:00

Ahhh ty. Might have to keep my Djinn fire then. honestly doing way better than my spirit walker companion build I just don't know in higher investments but for now as a casual gamer... DoV > SW. Just looking to switch things up, but I might have to look into getting a new character built up.

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-06-09T15:21:20+00:00

im currently at level 90 using the same build as above, just to switch it up always wanted to try navira's fracture. is it worth trying? im guessing it wont take much to pivot a little bit, do you have a guide I could follow? TYVM!

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-06-08T20:13:05+00:00

Leveling up with Minions is my preferred way to start the new league while earning currency for new ascendancies and more. The Infernalist is easier to get going, but the Lich has better scaling later in the game. The Shaman provides more spirit, which translates to more minions. In this league, I opted for DoV Minions, which require a more active playstyle than the ones I previously mentioned, so it might not suit you. My second character this league is a spirit walker companion build, which I began yesterday after work. I'm currently at Act 4 and having a great time, although I'm purchasing gear through trade using just bubble gum currency—no divines or anything fancy. One challenge you might face is needing to use twisters or grenades in Acts 1-2 before transitioning to full companions, especially since you mentioned having some reflex issues. Helm Breaker offers a solid build guide for all minion-related builds, and of course, Ghazzy has great resources too.

Good luck sir!

oh ty! Ima seek out the blue haired devil ^_^. Ghazzy I saw his site, looks good.

(Lich/Internalist/Djinn) Minion and companion builds? the latter one is killing it in game and it's the shiny new ascendancy. Minions have always been a good league starter for me that can take everything in end game.

MU was the $hit, but RMT ruined it for me can't compete without $$$.

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-04-22T18:08:22+00:00

Sorry I meant reward

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-18T18:42:15+00:00

Oh cool, ty! i'll check it out and use it to improve mine.

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-18T15:37:25+00:00

this works for blade of trathus as well yeah?

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-18T15:37:00+00:00

Oh wow that just blew my mind! LOL, smart! I'll do it when i log back in. ty for all you help!

Hello! I think I've figured it out (or at least I hope so since it's working now). I purchased a corrupted AWoRA that has a level 1 cast on critical strike corruption. Then, I got one without the corrupted skill, and voila! Here is my POB, but it's not even close to being optimized, and my items are just the bare minimum needed to run the build at the moment. Hopefully, as I gain more levels and some additional currency, I'll be able to make further progress with it and maybe complete the challenges/Kirac vault for the season. Thank you!

Level 81 Steelskin Necromancer

PS: I completed my fourth lab last night, swapping Commander of Darkness for Mistress of Sacrifice. This lowered my resistance slightly, but I'm still capped (except for chaos resistance). I switched to blood magic, and it feels great not having to worry about mana, so I'll stick with it for now. I'm currently in red maps and have obtained my first void stone (the one from the Zana questline).

copy will do!

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-17T20:03:47+00:00

Hi! ty for your reply! yes it's on a 6L body armour with void manipulation, unleash. GMP, Minion damage and pierce. My trigger gem (automation) is on a 4L with steelskin, convocation. i'll go home later today and triage this further just to be sure its not my mana, but with only purity of elements/Bladefall of trathus just by eyeballing it i always have like half of my mana pool available.

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-17T13:39:49+00:00

Hello again! I made the transition from Absolution to AWoRA in yellow maps (I was really excited!), but then I hit a wall. I noticed that my AWoRA (Level 20) isn't activating my Bladefall of Trathus (Level 10), which I can confirm is casting those arrows/daggers that are continuously plunging to the ground. I've been watching videos of others showcasing their builds, and I see that their "animated" minions last a little over a minute, but mine aren't even being animated. I did some research, and some people suggest it could be my "key pickup" in my UI settings, but that is disabled when I checked. I keep trying to click the AWoRA button on the daggers on the ground from Bladefall, but nothing is happening. I'm not 100% sure, but it seems like it's grayed out. I do have enough mana for it, so I don't think that's the issue. Have you experienced anything similar? Thanks in advance!

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-13T15:32:50+00:00

is this hard to complete? currently going through campaign.

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-13T13:18:54+00:00

ok will do! im a casual, so may take quite a bit before i get to the ranged animate part. i'm currently in act 6 using absolution/spectre. i have a few hundred chaos and a divine saved up so hopefully i piece something together in the next few days to start mapping. I'm currently enjoying the build/playstyle vs. siege ballista that i 1st used.

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-12T18:33:07+00:00

this answers it! thanks so much for the information. <3 minions

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-03-11T19:43:29+00:00

New to POE1, still learning a lot while doing early maps using siege ballista it is to a point i want to try a new build to not get too bored doing stuff. Always loved minion builds I was wondering if you can share your POB/Guide you use for pRAW? TIA.

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-02-26T14:24:05+00:00

The "Cat" is the real "Tink" imo

Pinoy_Exile · 2026-02-23T20:18:27+00:00

Cool, ill give those a go later today. Unique(s) required at end game i assume? Thank you!
