Greek's Herald of Agony Herald Pantheon, Ascendancies & Bandits (Poe Legacy of Phrecia Event)

Ascendancy

Optimal Ascension Points – Herald

Note: WE WILL BE WAITING TO ALLOCATE ASCENDANCY POINTS UNTIL AFTER CRUEL LAB.
Our first ascendancy does little for our build and many of our gems aren’t easily accessible until library or Lily in Act 6.
You can do Normal and Cruel Lab at normal times but will need to hold off allocating points until we have swapped into the Herald of Agony setup.

While the Eternal Labyrinth provides you with incredible boosts of power, on some builds more so than on others, it also comes with a dangerous road to a sometimes more dangerous boss. Whilst veteran players generally progress the Labyrinth faster, I advise newer players to try and progress lab at the following milestones.

Normal Labyrinth – Coming Calamity

I would advise staying out of normal Labyrinth before level 38. Ideally, you want to make sure you have a 4-linked Damage Skill and to feel very safe I recommend a combination of 750 Life & Energy Shield. Veterans usually tackle this after killing Domnious and reaching act 4.

Cruel Labyrinth – Future Nostalgia

Generally, I think levels are just a tad less important here. However, a good threshold is to check if your gems are going to be leveling up soon. In that case, you could be waiting just a bit longer to squeeze out that extra Gem or Character level up. Usually, I’d say, level 59 and aiming for around 1500 combined Life & Energy Shield.

Merciless Labyrinth – Scourge

This Labyrinth is usually done before killing Kitava, because then you can fight Izaro without losing Resistances. However, if you are sub-2000 Life, you probably should delay it for a bit unless you’re confident in your Izaro-Fighting-Skills. Make sure to be Elemental Resistance Capped at 75%, Chaos Resistance is at least 0% & to make sure you don’t take unnecessary damage from him.

Uber Labyrinth – Apocalypse

Uber Labyrinth is very hard to recommend. It widely depends on gear, character power, generic power in the skill and so on. I suggest tackling this after you have your mandatory unique item found in the gear section.

Pantheons

Enabling Pantheons

Pantheons get introduced into the game after the Mud Flats in Act 6, where you kill Tukohama. As soon as you’ve killed the Brine King, you should allocate it (Press Y to open the Pantheon page). Whenever you kill Pantheon bosses during the Campaign, you can allocate its benefits.

Late Game Pantheons

Recommended Pantheons for this build are Soul of the Brine King and Soul of Ralakesh. Which will we will use until the high budget setup, where we will swap to Soul of the Lunaris

Upgrading Pantheons

Upgrading Pantheons is incredibly important for Character Power. Upgrading Pantheons is done by putting a Divine Vessel into the Map Device with the map which holds the Map Boss needed to upgrade. You can find which map bosses to upgrade by looking at the Atlas in-game. You can search at the top to fill high-light which maps are needed to fill out your pantheon.

Note: Do Not Take Soul of the Shakari this will hurt our The Golden Rule interaction for self-poisoning.

Bandits

Where to find

The Bandit quest unfolds in Act II which is where you’ll make the first important decision for your character. There’s 4 options to complete this quest. You can help either one of them, by killing the other 2 and turning in their Amulets to the third, in which case they will grant you their bonus. Should you decide to kill all three of them, Eramir will be giving you an extra skill point.

• Alira : 15% Elemental Resistances
• Oak : +40 Maximum Life
• Kraityn: +8% Movement Speed

You can change your Bandit Quest reward by trading in 20 Orb of Regret and the correct type of amulet to a vendor.

Which one to use

This build wants you to kill Kraityn & Oak and help Alira. For the Campaign and swap Eramir with 20 Orb of Regret and a Onyx Amulet later.
