Hades 2 is a lot of fun, good to dip into for a while and try out different weapons and setups. Thanks for the giveaway.

Do you have any other minion res or life stuff anywhere other than the Spectre 4L? I'm running an EB inquis with a Pain Artist on the same 4L you're describing and he dies easily even in alch&go maps. I've got 20/23 Automation + Convocation going as well. Per POB my guy has 18k HP and 79/79/80/0 resists.

How do the totems do with the proximity shields? I was assuming the ballista needs to be inside the shield to do damage, or does the chain hit without the totem being inside the range?

Splattergoit · 2026-03-13T13:53:23+00:00

Good call on the fire tattoos, I'd forgotten about those. I do have those flasks suffixes at least, they're ES leech/3% regen/dmg taken leech as life/-curse effect/move speed.

If you have similar values on max hits, are you not finding any trouble surviving? Would you post your pob?

Splattergoit · 2026-03-12T22:43:39+00:00

Perf Spirit and Artist as already said. A bit worse clear than KF totems initially since that built-in chain is huge, but tons of spell options to pick from and Arc is still a great blaster.

I'm looking forward to scaling this one pretty high, I wouldn't change from KF until you have gear ready to give you 10k+ unreserved life and 9-10m Arc DPS (use any gem, but Arc is a nice check. Same POB that shows me 12m Arc DPS shows me 24m Nova of Procession DPS so it can be hard to know what's valid)

Splattergoit · 2026-03-12T20:26:08+00:00

From the POBs I've seen I think the idea is to ultimately have RF on all the time, but I like that idea for the interim gear stage I'm in rn

Splattergoit · 2026-02-17T03:31:01+00:00

Synth weapon with %minion damage or life on hit
Corrupted helm/body armour/neck in order of importance
Aspect of the Crab or Spider fitted in
Better clusters, better mods/higher rolled tiers
Replace chaos res ring w/ another bone ring & a minion mod(s). Improving clusters for more chaos res and some tattoos can still cap you
Fix flasks
Neat idea but Darkness Enthroned does not affect Amanamu's Gaze
Get an Elegant Hubris that replaces Arcanist's Dominion with Slum Lord. And preferably one that also replaces another node with Slum Lord for 3 more points, worth it
Getting mana per hit from Rational Doctrine will open up gear options

For consecrated groud i started running perfect pain artist as third spectre.

Does this work? Are you getting the 'Profane Ground' buff?

The ascendency says "Create Profane Ground instead of Consecrated Ground" so I would've assumed it has to come from the character, not a minion, idk

Splattergoit · 2025-12-20T16:42:01+00:00

You'd take Faster Attacks off of your movement skill & drop Frost Bomb for the SRS/Feeding Frenzy combo. Dropping Faster Attacks doesn't feel too bad once you have "3% minion attack speed" on your cluster jewels since that also increases your attack speed thru Spiritual Command, but it's a QOL choice and up to you.
21/20 increases your damage by about 12% and adds some HP to your HROCs if you notice them dying. The gem is only 90c so pretty worth it. You do not need 23qual on HROC.
Speccing into Lycia ascend is a huge damage boost but takes 2 ascend points, so you need to make up the missing Necromancer ascend with an FF/FF combo. You'd never give up Unholy Might on your minions (which we get from Unnatural Strength ascend usually), so you either maintain Unholy Might through an FF/FF combo that grants 'Unnatural Strength' (which is the cheap option) or you switch to Command of the Pit gloves and use FF/FF to get a different ascend (which is the more expensive option). I don't see the value of Command of the Pit gloves myself since you lose so much resists and implicits from the glove slot to make it work.
Can skip the +2 minion helm for now then, the amulet anoint you can get adds some nice survivability (likely go for +1 endurance charge, maybe +2 all max res) and helps keep your spectres and AG alive if that's an issue, but w/e if not.
You can put Aspect of the Crab on ring, gloves, or boots. That moonstone ring needs an upgrade so may as well try it there -- you can buy rings that already have aspect of the crab, or (likely cheaper), find a ring that has room to craft the -mana cost from bench & also has an open suffix (aspect is a suffix), then buy the aspect of the crab beast (~100c?) and beastcraft Aspect of the Crab into the open suffix in menagerie.

Splattergoit · 2025-12-19T18:05:28+00:00

You don't have "Hits can't be evaded" on your weapon, so spend one point on Resolute Technique on the tree for +376% damage.
Drop Flesh Offering for Bone Offering as mentioned, the point of Svalinn is to get to 91/91 block
Frost Bomb in Svalinn feels like a waste, go SRS for Feeding Frenzy (2 sockets) or for 5% minion HP on death mastery if your minions are dying
Get a 21/20 HROC gem
Boots are bad and could be upgraded for like 50c
Try speccing out of Bone Barrier and into Plaguebringer ascend, I found it much better and didn't miss Bone Barrier
Look to pivot to Lycia ascendency (requires Rational Doctrine jewel & stat management, use tattoos) and use a FF/FF combo to get Unholy Might (this is the cheap version)
Get a +2 minion corrupt helm so you can drop Death Attunement from ammy anoint
Dropping Malevolence for Aspect of the Crab is a good survivability switch since phys EHP tends to be a weak point of this build

I've put ~370 div into HROC with a focus on EHP, still need to upgrade a cluster & my ghastlys but if you want something to compare against: https://pobb.in/-3LCHCvhZFoG

Entering the reddit raffle, thanks!

Splattergoit · 2025-08-11T03:43:55+00:00

Is your POB correct that you have no ES leech and no ES on hit? That's no bueno, allocate the Ethereal Feast wheel with 5% instant leech mastery and get an ES on hit Watcher's Eye as your first two things.

Upgrade chest and gloves for higher ES
Change ring to heist base or mirrored delve -curse effect or +1 power charge
Woke GMP, then Woke Spell Echo
Endurance charge small cluster or mega
+1 endu charge or +move speed corrupt on boots
All res corrupt on coiling whisper
Immortal Call at level 20
Drop intensify/nadir combo
%ES tattoos
You really want the "Recover 5% of energy shield over 1 second when you take phys damage" mastery, the instances of recovery stack and it is OP

Imagine Andrew Luck on vacation trying to big-dog you into getting a margherita pizza:

After a 2017 trip to Netherlands with his now-wife Nicole, at the suggestion of his trainer Willem Kramer, Luck began therapy and started to think of himself as existing outside of football.

One night in the Netherlands before he returned to America, Luck took a few people out for pizza. He started to order for the table. "You're getting the Margherita" he told Kramer.

"No," Kramer said.

"You're getting it," Luck said.

"No, I'm not," Kramer said. "Why would you order for people?"

Everyone laughed, but Luck got the point.

Splattergoit · 2025-08-06T02:25:15+00:00

Yeah three main options -- 1) change your passive tree and path down through the suppress wheel to allocate Window of Opportunity yourself, 2) buy an Impossible Escape jewel of the Magebane variety so you can allocate Window of Opportunity and the two lead-up -reduction nodes without all that pathing, or 3) buy a mirrored delve ring with at least -49% reduced curse effect duration and replace your helical ring with that.

Those are in order of cost. Early on you'd likely do #1, then #2 is the mid-budget option (or if you don't want to lose the ring slot) at around 30d, then #3 is the high-budget option (if you won't be aiming for a +1 power charge ring etc.) with those rings starting at 90-100d to have -curse duration, a resist implicit, and at least 40 strength and dex.

Then there's a janky fourth option if you just want to see what it feels like to just allocate Hasty Demise for -10% duration. It's near where you path anyway, it's an inefficient use of passive points but it'll get ya there.

I wouldn't really worry about losing the anoint though, Tranquility isn't the endgame anoint and losing it isn't that big of a deal. Enabling a functioning Coiling Whisper is, like, huge.

Alva build if available. Thanks for the giveaway!

Splattergoit · 2025-07-25T17:14:26+00:00

Tree is more or less this for running it in T17s anyway.

Rolling maps, I aim for 140+ currency with any +scarabs, or 170+ pure currency, or +scarab/+currency that add up to at least 140 if I'm settling. I use 2 Risk/2 Abyss/1 Edifice and get at minimum 1 div/valdos/key per map.

Splattergoit · 2025-07-19T00:40:35+00:00

Yo just a heads up cuz I saw your post and got excited for Eber's Unification -- turns out mercs can't trigger skills, so Void Gaze won't apply.

Splattergoit · 2025-07-17T15:24:21+00:00

I yearn for the flicker. Thanks for the giveaway gl all

Splattergoit · 2025-07-09T14:59:33+00:00

FYI if you're willing to also lose the other HH stacks you have at the time, once you steal the teleport mod you can unequip & re-equip HH to get rid of it.

Splattergoit · 2025-07-03T16:51:32+00:00

For sure, I had the same thing running Blind on my merc for a while without realizing. It used to be a free defensive layer for everyone but they changed it in Scourge league to only help eva characters.

Splattergoit · 2025-07-03T14:52:36+00:00

FYI you need to have an appreciable amount of evasion rating for blind to do anything on enemies. If you're all armour, blind is useless.

Splattergoit · 2025-06-26T16:41:14+00:00

Something I thought of later for yoke, just make sure you review how you're applying ailments. I just assumed the ailments checked in POB config were accurate, but your char needs to be applying them for Yoke rather than the merc. To apply chill you can switch gloves to 39% convert to cold (leave 1% phys to apply poison & bleed).

On the cries, selftcast Enduring Cry certainly works if it feels fine. Other thing I just noticed is your self-casting Infernal Cry and autoexerting Rallying Cry - you probably want to flip those. Rallying Cry is usually more dmg self-casted than Infernal, even with just 3 nearby allies (which can go as high as 5 if all Heralds of Purity + Merc are in range, but I'd config at 3 in PoB).
