[0.5] PhazePlays Minion Cull WARPER — VARASHTA Version

PhazePlays VARASHTA Minion Cull Warper build for 0.5!

• This is an Expensive Disciple of Varashta Alternate Version of the Minion Cull Warper Witchhunter build!
• • This setup requires Aldur's Legacy (very expensive) for Legacy of Deathblow, and should probably also run Palm of the Dreamer and Rakiata's Flow
  • If you don't have a ton of currency, this guide probably isn't for you! The Witchhunter setup is far more budget-friendly
• Watch the attached video to understand the build's mechanics and interactions, and check out the Witchhunter Build Guide which is much more in-depth than this guide

This is a work in progress — If you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know!

Major Differences from the Witchhunter Setup:

• Pure Energy Shield instead of Evasion/Armour
• Raging Spirits and Ember Fusillade dropped
• More minion variety for Muster
• Rakiata's Flow on Bind Spectre or Wardbound Minions to avoid giving up 2 skill slots for Frost Bomb and Elemental Weakness

Notes

• Runeforged Sekhema Sandals alone should be enough Runic Ward
• Horror's Flight: Must have the Raven-Touched mod
• • Do not put Legacy of Deathblow in a pair of gloves without Raven-Touched.
• Myris Uxor: aim for a corrupted 115%+ culling threshold
• Must have 400%+ Culling Strike Threshold for comfortable mapping
• Swap in a +2 minion level helmet with ES for serious pinnacle bosses
• Wolf Pack is optional, if you're not a fan or the Spirit is tight it's not necessary
• Convalescence is also a great option if preferred. Drop Skeletal Sniper or Wolf Pack if you want to run this
• Make sure you have a source of Armour Break on Kelari from somewhere

Weapon Sets

• Palm of the Dreamer in Weapon Set 1
• Rare +4 Sceptre in Weapon Set 2 (Any variant ofShrine Sceptre for free auras)
• Lock the Focus to both weapon sets
• You'll probably have to assign fewer minions to Weapon Set 1 as Palm of the Dreamer doesn't have a Spirit roll. Not a problem though

Annoints

• This build requires 3 annoints:
• • Bounty Hunter
  • Hunting Companion
  • Dominion
• These can be applied to: Horror's Flight (Raven-Touched) Gloves, Amulet, and get the 3rd from Megalomaniac

TIme-Lost Jewel

There are 2 great spots for Time-Lost Sapphire:

1. Top-Center jewel socket — paired with From Nothing: Ritual Cadence
2. 1. This is more budget-friendly
2. Top-Right jewel socket — paired with From Nothing: Conduit
3. 1. This is fairly expensive but slightly stronger

The 3 must-have mods on Time-Lost Sapphire:

• Notable Passive Skills in Radius also grant Minions have (6—12)% increased Critical Damage Bonus
• Notable Passive Skills in Radius also grant Minions have (5—10)% increased Critical Hit Chance
• Upgrades Radius to Very Large (crafted on with Ancient Potent Liquid Melancholy)

Be aware that the Radius of these doesn't display correctly in PoB/Moba, especially with Varashta's radius increase

There's also some shenanigans you can do for 5-mod Time-Lost jewels

Upgrades

• Uul-Netol's Embrace is an expensive lategame option on Kelari

Misc

• CAMPAIGN LEVELING GUIDE
• Loot Filters
