Full transcript

1. 0:00Hey, everyone. It's Ali, and it's time
2. 0:01to talk about our build guide for 3.21
3. 0:02in Bob and friends. Now, I know I said I
4. 0:05wasn't going to play this season, but
5. 0:06after all the changes that happened to
6. 0:08Torchlight economy this season, and just
7. 0:09with how enticing Luminary and a
8. 0:11mercenary build looks, given I've played
9. 0:13this in the past, and it was one of my
10. 0:15most successful and most fun builds
11. 0:17ever, I can't help myself, and we are
12. 0:19going to put together the strongest
13. 0:21support build you have ever played in
14. 0:23Path of Exile's history. What we're
15. 0:25going to be doing this season is we're
16. 0:26going to be playing with the new
17. 0:27Luminary ascendancy that allows you to
18. 0:29have a permanent mercenary hired again,
19. 0:31just like you could have in the
20. 0:32mercenary season itself. These
21. 0:33mercenaries can offer you various
22. 0:34different benefits, but in our case, we
23. 0:36are going to be turning the mercenary
24. 0:38into the carry, and we're basically
25. 0:39going to be playing a party play setup
26. 0:41where you are going to be playing an
27. 0:43aura bot, supporting your mercenary,
28. 0:45making them as strong as possible, and
29. 0:46having them do all the work for you.
30. 0:49This is a build that I pushed to many,
31. 0:51many mirrors back in the mercenary
32. 0:53season, and I even did voided Valdo
33. 0:55farming with it, and had a wonderful and
34. 0:57amazing time with that setup. So, it's
35. 0:58honestly going to be really fun to try
36. 0:59it again here. This guide is being made
37. 1:02post day one. I'm sorry I couldn't get
38. 1:04this out before launch, but the point is
39. 1:05is that I've already played with
40. 1:06mercenaries as I've leveled, and I got
41. 1:08to say, they're looking just as strong
42. 1:10as they were in mercenary season. So,
43. 1:12everything that we were able to do with
44. 1:13the build previously is looking to be
45. 1:14quite achievable this season as well.
46. 1:16The thing about this is is we're not
47. 1:18just going to be playing mercenaries by
48. 1:19themselves. We're instead going to be
49. 1:20incorporating a secondary build into
50. 1:22this, Bob, or animate guardian of
51. 1:24smiting. This is the build I played last
52. 1:26season 3.28. I pushed it to many mirrors
53. 1:28as well, and it was one of the most fun
54. 1:30builds I played as well. That build
55. 1:32simply revolves around making your
56. 1:34animate guardian of smiting as strong as
57. 1:35possible, where again, you are playing
58. 1:37as the aura bot, so we can combine both
59. 1:39of these together really nicely, and
60. 1:41have a very strong minion, a very strong
61. 1:43mercenary just absolutely delete
62. 1:45everything for you. The neat thing here
63. 1:47is that, of course, of course, it's an
64. 1:50Ali build. Of course, this is going to
65. 1:51be the case. We are playing this as a
66. 1:53life stacker, because we're going to be
67. 1:55using flame link to give both a
68. 1:57mercenary and Bob a ridiculous amount of
69. 2:00added damage, which will not be annoying
70. 2:02to do due to the fact that Luminary gets
71. 2:04Oath of Fealty, making her links
72. 2:05permanent. And we're then going to give
73. 2:07our enemy guardian a Grey Wind, which is
74. 2:09going to give them a whole bullet of
75. 2:11added damage based off of your life, not
76. 2:13the enemy guardian's life. So, the more
77. 2:15life we stack, the more damage both our
78. 2:17minions do, and just the tankier we
79. 2:19become. And I'm personally really
80. 2:21looking forward to it. So, with that
81. 2:22said, let's get into the nitty-gritty of
82. 2:24everything. As always, there is going to
83. 2:26be a classic Ali 20,000 word written
84. 2:28guide on this whole build that's going
85. 2:30to hold your hand through absolutely
86. 2:31everything. I am currently doing
87. 2:33everything I can to get this full guide
88. 2:35written overnight, in less than 10 hours
89. 2:37before this video actually came out. So,
90. 2:39if you appreciate all the work and
91. 2:40effort put into all this and the lack of
92. 2:42sleep I've gotten trying to get this out
93. 2:43for you, I would appreciate if you go to
94. 2:44the mobile link and favor the guide, as
95. 2:46well as subscribe and leave a comment on
96. 2:47YouTube. The point is that the written
97. 2:49guide will hold your hand through
98. 2:50everything when it comes to leveling,
99. 2:51with the only exception being that the
100. 2:52leveling guide will be in the notes
101. 2:54section of the Path of Building. Given
102. 2:55MOBA, unfortunately, can't really handle
103. 2:57an Ali leveling section, but the rest of
104. 2:59the guide will be there in multiple
105. 3:01different variants, holding your hand
106. 3:02through every single progression point
107. 3:03of the build. So, with that said, let's
108. 3:05talk about what exactly we're going to
109. 3:07be doing to start off with. For this, we
110. 3:09are just going to be using the
111. 3:09bog-standard, easiest way to possibly
112. 3:12level a Scion, which is just going to be
113. 3:13to use Righteous Fire. We're going to
114. 3:15start off with Spectral Weapon Throw,
115. 3:16upgrade to Sundering at level 12, and
116. 3:18then place Sundering into the middle of
117. 3:19Act Two, where we unlock Righteous Fire.
118. 3:21And from there, we're just going to hold
119. 3:23W with it. It's just going to clear
120. 3:24everything for you and give you one of
121. 3:25the smoothest self-leveling experiences
122. 3:26you've ever had, period. We're going to
123. 3:28stick to Righteous Fire all the way up
124. 3:30until maps, and then at maps, we're
125. 3:31going to farm a little bit of money, buy
126. 3:33some early-game or about items, find
127. 3:35ourselves a correct mercenary, which
128. 3:37we'll get to here in a second in what
129. 3:38that means. And with all that combined,
130. 3:40we will swap over to being a full
131. 3:42support for our mercenary and push into
132. 3:44Tier 16 maps. Later on, we are then
133. 3:46going to add in Bob once we get a few
134. 3:48items that are going to make Bob
135. 3:49actually work properly, which we'll
136. 3:50discuss in future update videos as we
137. 3:52play through the build on launch. During
138. 3:54the campaign, there's also two spots
139. 3:56where you are guaranteed to find a
140. 3:57mercenary inside the area every time you
141. 3:59go there, which is going to be the Grand
142. 4:01Arena in Act Four and the Hidden
143. 4:03Underbelly in Act Eight, accessible
144. 4:05through the green gate. Once you get to
145. 4:07both of these points in the campaign, I
146. 4:08would highly recommend for you to reset
147. 4:10the area over and over again until you
148. 4:11find yourself a Kinetisist as that is
149. 4:13going to be the ideal mercenary we're
150. 4:14going to want in this build and it's
151. 4:16going to heavily carry you as these
152. 4:18things are so strong that they can very
153. 4:19easily just kill some Act bosses on
154. 4:21their own. In order to reset the areas,
155. 4:23you just have to come to a waypoint and
156. 4:25control click on the area, which will
157. 4:26then pop up this interface allowing you
158. 4:28to open a new instance. You just run
159. 4:29through, find a mercenary, log out, and
160. 4:31try again. When it comes to the Hidden
161. 4:32Underbelly in Act Eight, you are going
162. 4:34to have to find it. It is hidden. So, in
163. 4:36the leveling guide, there will be a link
164. 4:38there for the Wiki page on it so you can
165. 4:39more easily find it. As I just
166. 4:41mentioned, the ideal mercenary that
167. 4:43we're going to want to use for all of
168. 4:45our end-game activities is going to be
169. 4:46the Kinetisist as this mercenary is just
170. 4:48far and beyond better than all the other
171. 4:50options. Whenever you do find a merc,
172. 4:52there are going to be a few important
173. 4:53stats that we have to talk about them.
174. 4:54First is going to be the level that you
175. 4:56find them at. While your mercenaries now
176. 4:58scale with the area level you're in, so
177. 5:00they're still going to feel powerful
178. 5:01even if you have a pretty old one, the
179. 5:03level that you found them at is going to
180. 5:04determine the maximum item level of the
181. 5:07items they can give them, meaning even
182. 5:09if you do find Kinetisist in Act Four,
183. 5:10you are going to eventually want to
184. 5:11upgrade and replace them as you get into
185. 5:13maps to be able to give them much better
186. 5:15gear. Alongside that, all mercenaries
187. 5:17are going to come with a set of gear
188. 5:18that is locked onto them, which you
189. 5:19can't remove, but you can replace it
190. 5:22with gear of your own, meaning you can
191. 5:24give your mercenary some useful gear.
192. 5:26Just remember to take it back whenever
193. 5:28you're done with him. They're also going
194. 5:29to all come with a set of skills, which
195. 5:31they're going to randomly roll from from
196. 5:33a pool dependent on the type that they
197. 5:35are. So, in this case, it's a Frost
198. 5:36Hand, so it's going to have cold-related
199. 5:38skills. All of them will always have an
200. 5:41aura and they're going to have a few
201. 5:42different skills and debuffs that
202. 5:43they're going to just spam on cool down.
203. 5:45In our case, as I mentioned, we want to
204. 5:47find a kinetisist, which has either
205. 5:49kinetic blast or kinetic blast
206. 5:51clustering. And ideally, if possible,
207. 5:53try to find one that has the return
208. 5:55support on it, as that's going to give
209. 5:56them quite a lot of additional damage.
210. 5:58As you progress into tier 16 maps, all
211. 6:00of the mercenaries are going to be able
212. 6:02to have more and more supports added on
213. 6:04to them. And eventually, once we get to
214. 6:05T16, we're going to want to sit there
215. 6:07and specifically farm kinetisists until
216. 6:09we get one that has a solid three or
217. 6:11four link with supports that we like.
218. 6:13These mercenaries, even if you don't end
219. 6:14up giving anything to them, are
220. 6:15extremely powerful and will carry you
221. 6:17quite a long way. And you are still
222. 6:18going to be doing quite a decent damage
223. 6:20to yourself, given that righteous fire
224. 6:22and fire trap are a very solid leveling
225. 6:24experience. Either way, eventually you
226. 6:26should be able to get yourself all the
227. 6:27way to Act 10 with no issues. At that
228. 6:29point, if you still don't have a
229. 6:31kinetisist, I would highly recommend for
230. 6:32you to go back to Act 8 and farm the
231. 6:34hidden underbelly until you do, as
232. 6:35that's going to make all of your mapping
233. 6:37experience that much easier. Our plan
234. 6:38for mapping is going to be to stick with
235. 6:40righteous fire for a little bit longer.
236. 6:42As we start making a little bit of money
237. 6:43to buy some early game or about gear,
238. 6:45that's going to push your mercenary
239. 6:47setup a whole lot further. Our main goal
240. 6:49here is going to be specifically get
241. 6:50yourself Hand of Fricia, given that
242. 6:51these are going to pair really well with
243. 6:53the second node we're going to be
244. 6:54picking up on Luminary Oath of Fealty,
245. 6:56which causes your links to have
246. 6:57permanent duration, meaning that Hand of
247. 6:59Fricia is just going to be a whole
248. 7:01bullet of aura effect. For our third
249. 7:02point, we're then going to go and grab
250. 7:04ourselves Legendary Arms, allowing us to
251. 7:05give our mercenary items. And here we're
252. 7:07going to be specifically trying to find
253. 7:08ourselves a Piscatour's Wand to give our
254. 7:10kinetisist, as that's going to be a very
255. 7:11strong wand when combined with the fact
256. 7:13that we're going to be spamming Flame
257. 7:14Link on them. The rest of the gear is
258. 7:16just going to be some bog standard or
259. 7:17about gear, such as a Jin Juyu and other
260. 7:19aura related items. And there will be a
261. 7:21lot more information about all this in
262. 7:22the tier one or about swap build variant
263. 7:25on Mobile, so I'd recommend to give a
264. 7:26read through that, as it should hold
265. 7:27your hand through everything you need to
266. 7:28do in order to transition into an aura
267. 7:31bot. That's pretty much all I have for
268. 7:32you in terms of the starting setup for
269. 7:35this and everything that we got to get
270. 7:36through on day one. I am extremely
271. 7:39excited about this, and just while we
272. 7:41were leveling, we discovered like five
273. 7:43new insane and disgusting things about
274. 7:45the setup that were impossible before.
275. 7:46And I am so excited to keep pushing this
276. 7:48build forward. I'm excited to go through
277. 7:50all the new tech that we discovered, and
278. 7:51I am so looking forward to seeing just
279. 7:53how disgusting and insane that we can
280. 7:55make this build. As always, we're going
281. 7:57to be doing many daily build updates on
282. 7:59this as I progress the build, and the
283. 8:00written guide will be fully updated with
284. 8:02everything as we do it. Guys, as always,
285. 8:03your hand will be held through every
286. 8:04single step of the build, and we're all
287. 8:05have a great time with our mercenary and
288. 8:07Bob all the way into the super late
289. 8:09game. If you have any questions, please
290. 8:10feel free to leave a comment in the
291. 8:11comments below, and I'd be more than
292. 8:12happy to help you as soon as I can. I
293. 8:13also stream on Twitch every single day,
294. 8:14so feel free to just come by Twitch and
295. 8:16ask me a question directly. As always,
296. 8:17we have a wonderful Discord and amazing
297. 8:19community, which you're more than free
298. 8:20to join and hang out with at any point.
299. 8:22With all that said, kitties, I'm sorry
300. 8:23that this build guide was a little bit
301. 8:25late, but if you're going to come and
302. 8:27play this with me, I hope you have a
303. 8:28great time with it, and I'll see you all
304. 8:30in the next video.
