Hey there. I'm working on this build. Thank you for the build. Everything feels a lot better now that I have most of it all setup. I'm missing the rational doctrine currently but I'm headed that way next. My warlord is tanky but my AG has died twice now. I haven't bothered to set him up again. What can I do to improve my AG tankiness ?
Rational Doctrine plays a big role in keeping your minions alive by providing 6.25% life regen. When tackling harder content, your minions rely on how quickly you clear and freeze everything around them to survive. Before acquiring Rational Doctrine, I recommend running narrow layout maps like Toxic Sewer. You can also equip your AG with Kiloava's Bluster shield and Replica Advancing Fortress for extra tankiness
@@GreatTeacher-Windy I got rational doctrine and things are a lot better now. Thank you! Ps is there a way to tell if I get profane ground ? I notice it doesn't show up on the buff bar and I can't really see anything. my STR and int are equal
@@DRPL766 If your STR and INT are equal, you should notice some purple or black ground (I’m not entirely sure of the color) around enemies when your mines land critical strikes.
Hey, I did a Hexblast build with Ventrua's guide going via Trickster. What kind of adjustments would I need to make, if I wanted to switch over to this build. Thank you!
This build is quite different from Ventrua's Hexblast. To be honest, I'm not sure how to replicate it on a Trickster, as Trickster and Ascendant are very different. You can look for a Trickster Hexblast build with the Blood Magic keystone on PoE Ninja and try using Machina Mitts. However, you'll need to gain access to overleech-check out my high-budget version for details on how to achieve overleech with Petrified Blood
You can use that strategy with the medium-budget version of this build. I think it’s one of the best builds for that strategy -just avoid rolling "Monsters' action speed cannot be modified below base value" on your maps, and then freeze the exiles to death. However, you’ll need to adjust your gear significantly to add item rarity, as this strategy is shit without enough item rarity (in my experience). Unless you're running the high-budget version, I recommend not bringing your AG into these maps.
Sorry, I've been really busy and haven’t had time to play for the past 5 days. Crafting the endgame gear is taking much more time and currency than I expected, so I’ve put it on hold until I gather enough resources.
@@GreatTeacher-Windy Do you accept donations in game? I've already quit the league and I do not mind helping as I find your build intriguing and would like to see it developed further.
i got stuck at lvl 92 after switching to this build for a week...😂 this build is not really friendly for ritual running, armour is low and monsters are dense, die too often. what is the best atlas strategy for this build?
Level is crucial for this build-reaching level 95 makes a big difference. I have no trouble farming Ritual and even Titanic Exile with this build, though I farmed Blight and Alva at lower levels. Feel free to drop your PoB here, and I'll diagnose any issues with your build.
Hexblast's Chaos Damage with Hits is resisted by the enemy's lowest resistance. For example, if the enemy's cold resistance is lower than fire, lightning, or chaos resistance, the damage will be calculated using cold resistance, making cold penetration useful too. Therefore, we focus on reducing one type of elemental resistance, as it's easier to lower than chaos resistance. You can choose to reduce fire, cold, or lightning resistance, but I prefer cold because it's easy to apply Cold Exposure (-15% cold resistance) with Frostbomb.
The Apostate adds the Energy Shield value from your equipped armor items to your maximum life. So yes, both +maximum Energy Shield and %increased Energy Shield modifiers on your armor count
For a low-budget option, use the Dark Marionette Spectre, which inflicts Scorch (reducing elemental resistances) on death and revives after 4 seconds. Check the video description for more details.
Some fights in the video were recorded before I finished tweaking the build. I used Purity of Elements to cap elemental resistances and gain immunity to elemental ailments while farming currency to upgrade gear. Just follow the PoB, use Zealotry for more damage, and Stormshroud for Elemental Ailment Avoidance.

@@GreatTeacher-Windy thank you for your advice. I'll get that rationale doctrine and try the AG again

why not use a second hex on hit ring in the higher budget setups?
A curse aura is crucial for clearing speed, without it, your first Hexblast will only hit a single target.

Would you say that this works on saboteur? My character is level 95 already, starting over would take a lot of time
It could work, but you might need Mageblood for permanent flask, and using Petrified Blood to gain overleech.
Have you tried the t16/t17 rogue exiles strat with this build? how'd it do?
You can use that strategy with the medium-budget version of this build. I think it’s one of the best builds for that strategy -just avoid rolling "Monsters' action speed cannot be modified below base value" on your maps, and then freeze the exiles to death.

Any update on showing off the mageblood version of this build?

To be honest, I don’t mind in-game donations, but there’s a risk of being mistakenly banned for RMT (One of my friends was banned because of it)

@@GreatTeacher-Windy bwt, i have saved 200d by now, 50d more to go for the mb version.
@@GreatTeacher-Windy cant drop my pob here...
I'm sort of new to hex blast...why is frostbite helpful? Can that scale damage when its chaos?

hey, why the apostate? I don't see max energy shield on equipped armour items (helmet, body, shield, gloves and boots) , or any energy shield counts?
The Apostate adds the Energy Shield value from your equipped armor items to your maximum life. So yes, both +maximum Energy Shield and %increased Energy Shield modifiers on your armor count
You use Raise Specter.
Which one? And what does it help with?
For a low-budget option, use the Dark Marionette Spectre, which inflicts Scorch (reducing elemental resistances) on death and revives after 4 seconds. Check the video description for more details.
@@GreatTeacher-Windy thank you very much
Why do you have Purity of Elements? I can't find it in pob.
