Build of the Week Season 13 - Episode 1 - BalorMage's Popcorn Spectres

[@stellar476]

those spectres last longer than my playtime in diablo 4 season 3

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

KEK!

[@AndreikVlogs]

aaaayooooooo you didn't had to go that hard in the comments section =)) my laughter lasted longer than my playtime in D4 so far XD

[@LaughingSkull451]

100% longer than me playing it.

[@TalkativeTri]

LMAO.

[@anquiladremon]

ouch

[@jtojagicc]

I don't care if you have to remove wisps but please keep the corpse salesman in game, new spectre options are so fun

[@Ashtarte3D]

Definitely agree. While some need reductions in their overall power (Naval Officer in particular) the Dark Marionettes, Spider Matriarch and Miscreation were all great additions for enhancing the specialized summoners.

[@SuperSlatra]

@@Ashtarte3D Naval officers are a great alternative to kingmaker. IMO, that one should go core, for sure.

[@ティムソン]

And the extra bag from the wildwood too 😅

[@khariperkins4243]

I want the curse that makes minions it's so fucking fun. On kill builds are just 2 much fun.

[@DUBSkyLinEx3]

I hope everything besides the whisps stays in the game. The whisps are making everything drop way too much stuff.

[@abote]

This game is crazy, the fact that you can do all kinds of crazy and interesting builds like this one is great

[@gid519]

Yet, so hard if you're me.

[@kirillromboy988]

@@gid519 Why??

[@miorioff]

@@kirillromboy988 it's hard for people who don't know the game. I'm trying almost every league and I stop at low tier maps every time, because I have no idea what I should be doing. Even watching 4 hour atlas guides doesn't help, this game has too much stuff for players who are new, it's so overwhelming

[@gid519]

@@kirillromboy988 Cuz I always run into a brick wall even afer following the guide.

[@danielb4480]

I love this series. It perfectly showcases the endless possibilities you have in PoE

[@karmoth6666]

Build of the week is the salt in the soup. Please more

[@chrs-wltrs]

Please PLEASE keep the new spectres in core, there are so many cool things to do with them. We can lose the wisps, we can lose the ascendencies, but please don't take away our new spectrea

[@Pedram_Aphotic]

please improve trading/site so we dont need to rely on 3rd party communities so much.

[@TalkativeTri]

My favorite official series returns yet again.

[@Rancid_mayonnasie]

nice seeing you here love the vids

[@Noksivs]

Make a D4 s3 BAD video!

[@jamesgoines4635]

This build is hilarious 😆

[@btarczy5067]

What works even better than the Necromantic Aegis route is the Fortress Covenant jewel that makes minions take more damage for allocated notables in its proximity. That way it’s possible to use a shield yourself, possibly with good minion stats like +Level and of course for better defense.

[@Logined85]

It‘s difficult to overcome -50% ele res in terms of damage taken.

[@btarczy5067]

@@Logined85 With three allocated notables it‘s at 60% increased damage taken which isn’t too hard to do and a damage increase in addition to defense… With lots of minion movement speed it’s even possible to go to 80% but at least my build is not there. Of course around 6-8 passives aren’t free either but I think it has to be stronger overall.

[@pgbollwerk]

I think what you describe is part of the min/max version of this build.

[@Ethereal311]

As someone who was called Dave in Highschool, I weep for the Daves.

[@TheSilverwing999]

Please consider keeping some of the spectres in the game after this league. It doesn't have to be the super powerful ones, but the ones that enable new builds, like the dark marionettes. More build diversity is worth keeping around

[@animeshaggy4333]

Awesome build! Love the Build of the Week videos.

[@Schmidteren]

Very much like the idea I had for a build I did in the tatoo league. Just too bad of AOE, so I stopped it. xD But maligaro plus zombie dying with huge life = instant full life. xD Pretty cool shit. But they took either too long to die, or I had to use gems and then the damage was only okayish.

[@Xandria-nd1vu]

Please make the dark marionette in core!!

[@PlayGamesRideBikes]

I really like the part where you ban tft

[@Primaeva]

Ahh I was sitting on a Spectre Popcorn build since the Soul Wick rework but releasing it this season would have set the bar unexpectedly high due to Marionettes automating it. Loss of Phantasmal Desecrate was also a big neef to non-Marionette dps too. Ah well! It's out of the bag now

[@Viniciusdias01]

we already know build from content creators, build of the week should be about new and undiscovered stuff from the community

[@WhyAshes]

I was so looking forwarded to Build of the Week this league due to all the new gems and builds coming out. Can't wait to see more crazy out of left field builds!

[@TKnightTea]

Please keep the new Rucksack in the game, or a new way to buy it to keep these 20 additional slots. (it's just a nice thing to have)

[@SixDragons]

For the love of god, PLEASE keep affliction mechanics, make it go core please PLEASE Tree, offerings, charms, get rid of the wisps if you want, but KEEP the charms, tints, and corpses

[@sirwilliamb]

I thought about this the second I saw those corpses

[@Enragedmonkey8]

Grads on the call out balor

[@Marbleshade]

Could you also use Guardian's Blessing to give you and your minions another aura while also causing them to die faster?

[@Archmage9885]

Yes, I've seen other Dark Marionette builds doing that.

[@sdfwegwewr2455]

this spectre should be kept in the game, it allows so many builds that removing it wikl be a huge mistake

[@vamps3000]

all new corpses should go core

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

Yep, thats what I was saying.

[@Noksivs]

These spectres taste way better with a bodyswap of sacrifice chieftain!

[@andeeznation]

I’m sorry you class negative resistances on a shield as a bonus to the player? That seems reversed and incorrect

[@quertysberg]

Play maw of mischief with these guys and feel their full power.

[@Baraxal1]

Doesnt that make it counter intuitive? Maw is manual explode with death wish for super high hp entities, which is why elementalist autorespawn golem is the build. These have inbuilt explode, and its a popcorn build.

[@salihkizildag]

@@Baraxal1 it doesnt. maw of mischief works better with dark marionettes than golems if you don't want to play ignite.

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

@@Baraxal1 Thats an ignite build. This one feels like a caster build with spell echo. But its minion popcorn.

[@justcausee]

You've ruined the game for standard players. Are you happy now? So many builds dead overnight totally disregarding the time and money invested. Why not remove standard at this point? Since you only care about leagues and poe2. I am beyond disgusted with the changes for 3.23

[@justcausee]

I never thought I'd consider going back to Diablo considering I've been playing PoE since before D3 was announced. But here we are.

[@ivan7321]

a build that cannot kill a single boss in the game and that will die with 1 hit on the T16 map...

[@mrghostmrghost6469]

nah this league is for sure not going core dk why u would even cover this build

[@POEOneLove]

Билд уже сделали тьма людей, однако вот взяли именно BalorMage. Он там что, взятку дал?

[@stimie0188]

dude stole my build..can i copyright strike him?

[@nith5663]

this got to be the least innovative episode that i have watched, its a simple concept with problem solving, its a fun build but build of the week?

[@MrPedro3791]

Hmm i created something similar, but a bit different. Good idea I try improve my version and I will post a video for those interested :)

[@holi_soy_leo105]

What about a new series, ban of the week?

[@Max_xaM]

I did Invitation Farming with the higher budget version and its super smooth gameplay.

[@Matosis98]

the editing of BotW is so good, love u Eben!

[@JanPapiezGaming]

Best series

[@ramschasar7654]

Fairly simpel build. I really like how they showcased it. Easy to understand for new players. Have a spectre build running red maps as well. Wand Berserker summoning slashing horrors and linking to them for either more fire damage or triggerfalling zombies (once i found a way to sustain it xD) This league is a blast!

[@overproud7313]

T16 + alch this is the maximum he can do

[@NJungArt]

I've really been looking forward to build of the week with all the new whacky gems! Keep em coming Eben! 🎉

[@TheKaydn06]

lol. he made an exploding meseeks build.

[@roachhead2424]

We all know Dave reforms. But how about Jenebu? Will he reform?

[@4o0l63]

potentially use 2 spectre gem setup, 1 for the Dark Marionette and another for Meatsack for higher minion life. that could increase DPS further?

[@KhronicD]

Perfect meatsack is only 40% increased minion life. You're honestly not getting that much more damage that way, at the expense of losing one of your explody bois.

[@biest3004]

what happens when one of the daves is currently dead in his cycle and I die or switch zones?

[@ketchup2248]

looks like a really strong build but its a runing symulator :D

[@skelletorjo3227]

It goes BOOM or it gets the hose again.

[@MyssingInAction]

This build made me extremely happy, and sowed the seeds of depression for next league if the corpses don't exist anymore.

[@FeelsGouda]

Everyone is like "please make the marionette core". All I want is that you make the satchel for extra inventory space core...please?

[@GE_Photon_Lord]

The real buff is this.

[@pixelj4877]

Or the ability to see rares and uniques on the mini map. That one is awesome also. I hope the plan is to have this go core.

[@makoandmoka]

Really smooth and satisfying gameplay once you manage to get the timings right...

[@PsykoSaiko]

I just recently got my SRS build to early game/mapping and then suddenly saw this video and I'm like well I think I've had enough of the SRS build. Might try this one tho idk . Anyway thanks for sharing the build.

[@Kumquats83]

I'm thinking the same thing.

[@VytautasMockus]

Does someone knows why anyone could dislike this video?

[@alexmaragh7766]

mr. meeseeks doing well it seems

[@koski6150]

how do you avoid offering your specters while they're dead for a moment accidently? doesnt bone offering consume a corpse on the ground

[@gwiqu123]

When the marionette dies, it doesn't become a corpse. It just disappears and reforms after a few second

[@Discipol]

This doesn't matter unless you make this league a standard feature, which I would LOVE

[@Naizgrel]

1 build league lol nice kill

[@lennyghoul]

Gratz Balor! Is this the first BoTW that relies entirely on the League mechanic? 🤔

[@yaadiq968]

looking for fun! i hope i can make build like these one day

[@bionicg2040]

lets see if anyone submits a melee build.

[@practic4l349]

analogy with popcorn is something I'd totally except from a poe player lol

[@Diehardgamer2001]

Hope some of the spectres this league go core, especially the marionettes

Deleting any mention of TFT even if it's not an insult is a bad look right now.

[@Zdiddy123]

Should ban tft

[@SerekAkaSeras]

I'm playing this build since week 3 and i fell in love, it reignited (pun intended) my love for necro, also in trade league it's immortal with a little investment, recommend going Fourth Vow, Xibaqua and defiance of destiny for near immortality, only weakness are DoTs (except chaos) also dropping maligaro shield for Fortress Covenant and grabbing 120% increased minion damage taken on the left side of the tree.

[@sh9jscg]

got any tasty pobs? been farming ubers and was wondering if this would make them even more chill to farm

[@KhronicD]

@@sh9jscg The main thing is that it's basically 100% damage uptime with this build, as you don't really need to do anything. As long as your spectres are aggressive, they'll just continually suicide themselves against anything on screen. The damage itself is nothing to scoff at either. ;)

[@starvinmrvin]
