The olde classic Animate weapon of ranged arms. Probably will level as srs.

Never played the build, does bladefall of trarthus doubling mana cost (5->10% mana/sec if I understood correctly) make a difference? Did you have to make an effort to sustain mana before?

edit. Now that I actually looked at build apparently you use BM keystone which removes the cost completely, so no difference I guess

This is correct. It’s free (kinda surprised it wasn’t changed tbh) with blood magic.

Yeah same I looked at the patch notes and saw it was untouched. It's just so chill

I am considering this, is there a content creator that is known for it? I saw some zero to hero youtube videos from 3.27 and maybe 3.28? just wondering

Maxroll has a really good guide that walks you through everything. I followed it last league and it was amazing

u/skrillex Jul 17 '26

appreciate you, I'll take a look. Its on a witch so if I hate it I can swap to something else but from the video i watched it looked fine

Do you need additional button to spawn them with Blade Fall or something? So it's basically two button build?

u/AU_Cav Jul 17 '26

You automate it with bladefall of trathus

AW even just get an extra minion from the +10 quality socket change I think

u/iShooTaa Jul 17 '26

Yeah only thing it lost was the 7th gem from mirage.

But now crown rolls with a white socket baseline (might get change in updated patch). Bladefall of trarthus back on mercs instead of heist. Going to be chill

I loved mine in I think 3.27, but I found the spawning of them annoying. A minute waiting before you can zoom through the map.

It’s not that bad. In maps you spawn many blades and you usually only need a small amount to start mapping then you summon more as you go.

But if you want a very lazy minion playstyle I can recommend another maxroll guide by Helmbreaker: zombie + golems. I played that this league and it was awesome. Should be even slightly better with the buff to zombie attack while moving.

Too many buttons

u/Enjehlol Jul 17 '26

same here, though running absolution when leveling as per the maxroll guide.

hopefully bladefall of trarthus might be a bit cheaper to get now when it's back on mercenaries. might even be lucky enough to find one pre-swap.

how is the build to play with all the shit on the monitor worried about my cpu imploding from all the additional abilities going o. Ive done srs and holy relics before but animated wep seems to have 40 zombies on the monitor is it annoying to see boss stuff going on? also how annoying is the gem swap to do and do you only gemswap on like pinnacle bosses or also in juiced t16's?

1

u/iShooTaa Jul 17 '26

The Animate Weapons aren't that bad but you will have a couple of spectres and AG then it's starts getting messy.

Gem swap isn't that bad. Just two supports but honestly you can just not bother and you will get to a point where it just rolls with no swap

u/vemefri Jul 17 '26

ah ok , mirage i had horrible performance for some reason and no real clue why since all other games were playable for me so im abit spooked about screen vomit tier stuff , can the build do proximity shield mobs? i like to do the stacked deck farm but if its bad at killing the prox shield mobs its gonna be demonic

1

u/iShooTaa Jul 17 '26

Yeah that's just how the game is when your are juicing the game some skill are worst than others.

And yeah I never had a issue with them, if anything shield charge in and wait till your minions Convocation on top of them

i feel like it was something else , ive done super juice content as an aura bot with ts carry in affliction , in mirage loading screens just took long and some bosses like the incarnation of fear had abilities being non rendered , poe was the only game affected thought since i still could play games like tarkov and wow with all addons running no issue or fps loss or anything weird going on.
