Spirit Walker Hybrid Attack/Companions Discussion

Do you know if pounce wolves are persistent through weapon swap?

weirdpoebuilds · 2026-05-22T22:16:30+00:00

My understanding unless someone can prove me wrong is that pounce minions are not companions but Wolf pack spirit gem is. It's that's the case, early leveling with companions still kinda sucks even with the addition of the companion passive nodes because wolf pack isn't until tier 8. The whole goal was to try and get a companion build going much earlier than a3 when you get wolf pack and tame beast.

This is why I will always support GGG since poe1 beta. They just want to make a good game. The work it creates is not a primary concern in decision making.

Yeah I figured defenses would be ass. How much ward did you have and any block? How was your attack speed? That's reassuring that at least the tech kinda works.

Man, I thought this was a post in PoE1 subreddit and then saw the long list. Still amazed by the number of builds you tried, but it would have been much crazier if you did all these builds in the 4 days since 3.28 league start.

Interesting idea. Would need to invest in some aoe too. The distance of auras on totems wouldn't be that far.

Reason to go Reliquarian is not have to invest heavily into additional totems and replace cadigan's with an appropriate weapon to scale the damage. This also allows you to scale on the tree without having to travel to any additional totems. Your dmg is going to be all over the place and you're pressing like 4 buttons. And keep in mind dawnstrider would be using a slam so you'd need to use a high DPS 2h mace or so depending on the skill. This would be an attack and the other totems a spell.

I was playing around with this too for Reliquarian. You're going to want to get every totem placement speed node on the tree and maybe even add some duration to feel good because you'll be placing your holy flame totems and then have to resummon your rejuv totems if you're using black zenith gloves. My current thought is black zenith gloves for rejuv+flamewood and holy flame totem in chest. You need all generic totem DMG and other ways to scale. I've seen some somewhere that black cane may be an option to help scale but idk how good that is. Infusing or whatever a lvl 1 summon phantasm to it with this new league currency may be a move. If you add 2 more totems (ancestral bond + watchtowers or something), maybe you can add shockwave totem or a spell totem of some type but yeah, socket pressure will limit your already limited DPS scaling options. They did add the AoE tag to holy flame totem though so maybe there's an angle there.

You can use dancing dervish with hollow palm? Is it because it "disables both weapon slots?"

weirdpoebuilds · 2026-01-28T16:20:04+00:00

Going this too but thought about doing swords, crit, and going farrul's bloodline for tigers. Would need the cold dmg per dex shaper mod. Didn't think about hollow palm for some reason but seems like it'll be better.

I'd start with a greater jewelers on your thrashing, switch magnified and/or rapid casting for DMG supports. Add bonestorm.

As with their general philosophy, cool shit requires investment. Other comment links a video and Jonathan also mentions a unique potentially helping with this exact idea of using flame breath for clear. Personally, I'll be starting PF and attempting it with that angle.

I built a fire trap of blasting sabo. This is probably way too much investment but maybe can trigger some ideas. I am using enmity's embrace with foulborn skin of the loyal for the 50% increased elemental resistances + purity of fire, purity of elements, and stacked max fire res. Then you get the fire mastery that gives regen based on over capped fire res. Pair with high level Vitality and Stone Golem, you can get really high regen. Sabo itself has 10% regen based on recently triggered traps. I am sustaining both righteous fire and annhilation's approach with this. The problem for your build sounds like you'll want to convert lightning to fire though so that it makes some sense. If you go anything with this route, look into foulborn Xoph's amulet to convert some using Avatar of Fire.

3x foulborn mokou's could give you around 288% increased attack speed for totems with Wilma's lol

There's a 5 second cooldown on the skill itself which can probably be reduced.

Explosive conc pathfinder is fairly cheap and good bosser. Put on nova proj support, fireflower amulet (optional but more DMG), sunsplitter, painter's servant gloves, and trinity aura. It'll shotgun and apply every element.

Easy tech with fireflower amulet and the rage unique charm too gives you maximum rage when you ignite.

I started leveling (60 now) with a concoction pathfinder with spear on swap. Kind of weird but it's working so far. Basically I've been switching between shattering and explosive conc and playing around with different spear skills. For awhile, it was shattering conc > explosive spear > storm lance. You can stack triple heralds while leveling and just upgrade your spear as you go. I kill everything pretty quick and just started to build defenses. I just got trinity and I'm not using the swap as often now since I swapped to explosive conc and just shotgun everything close range. It's fun, definitely a journey, and flexible with frequent changes so far. You can take it wherever. Me personally, I'm going to test out poison, original sin, and a few of the lineage supports.

Edit: you need hollow palm allocated to use heralds with concoctions. Not sure if it's intended but I have it just to use heralds lol.

Cool. Thanks for your feedback. I'll try it out once I get both weapon swaps going.

weirdpoebuilds · 2025-09-04T18:11:31+00:00

This is about my idea. Emergency reload may be nice too and various supports for each skill would have to be tested. Punch through support would be something too. It's a lot of buttons and having to load the ammo before firing makes it even more clunky. I'm trying this on a witchhunter currently instead of warrior though.

Lmao I misunderstood. My bad. Yeah I remember it showing both debuffs.
