I can tell you that this is the first league that I wouldn't immediately close a build video if I saw a mageblood. If someone used the phrase "budget build" and included mageblood, it'd get an immediate thumbs down then close. Now, I might be able to afford it, but it still wouldn't fit with trying to make "cheap" builds. I still see some people say things like "it is a "cheap version" of (this)." ...like a "cheap" Lamborghini?
Once again I should stress that the build does not require nor does it include a mageblood. I just happened to have one on my character at the time of recording. I realize that I should not have it on for demonstration purposes, but everything I said in the original video still applies and the build does cost as much as I said in the budget section.
I went over this in the main video, but to answer you quickly: yes you can. It's not as good as the other league-starter builds, but the forum has a detailed pob with every step to get it going. I would recommend levelling as poisonous concotions and switching up later at around lvl.85
@@poecheapbuild awesome thanks for the response, I did listen to the main video but it was at work so I likely forgot it was mentioned! Totally thinking a build like this or ignite next league!
Multiple reasons: 1) the +2 levels from skin of the lords also applies to the empower support, resulting in +4 levels overall to the herald 2) with our current setup HoA ends up reserving 33% of total mana, meaning it would reserve 12% more with the coming calamity and we would have to find more mana reservation elsewhere for other stuff 3) the es it provides does very little compared to the 100% increased global defenses from Skin of the Lords. Overall it's not a terrible pick if you drop one naturally and you don't have the currency already for one the skins, but it's far from being better.
Great vid brother, appreciate the update and further explanation.
thanks a lot man

Probably a dumb question but can you league start this ? Looking to maybe play witch next league! I’m assuming since it’s mostly unique likely not.

why not go for a good corruption on The coming calamity?
