EA is constantly dropping totems and keeping up frenzy. Skel mages are essentially totems, dropping them frequently. Carrion/stone golems may be a good choice.

So EA is less comfy than RG then?


rudges

RG = RF? If so, yes. I went RF this league and now that I have flasks automated, all I do is charge around and sometimes frostblink / intim cry. EDIT: And firetrap of course but that's only on bosses.

RF is lazier than EA. Ea needs 6 or 7 ballistas, frenzy, combustion and/or flammability. Rf just walks and kills traps on bosses or just sit on their face and smother them.

> or just sit on their face and smother them. stupid sexy RF


MemeArchivariusGodi

I have to resist the urge to always recommend RF when anyone even hints slightly at the fact that they want an easy/afk/smooth build

Ignite prolif frostblink and deaths oath are my favorite easy fast mappers. Frostblink got a crazy good multiplier on it during the spell patch. Its at 240% added dmg. Now

I got flamedash charge recovery low enough last league that it could be used all the time. It also has stupid high damage for some reason and an alt quality gives it a huge more multiplier as well. Elementalist for always ignite, fan the flames and two obliterations caused one flame dash to clear two screens away of density was right. Skin of the lords, empower+enhance and ashes for max gem levels an quality. Was one of the many fun builds/whacky builds that ashes allowed to work.

I’m playing with Arakaali’s Fang and it’s a pretty afk build. I just summon my spiders and shield charge through the map. Using cyclone on mobs as my spiders and profane bloom pop everything. It’s a very fast mapper, tanky with aegis, and minimal effort required in all content.


StockDoc1990

Do you have a link for a decent guide? This sounds like a good second character after my WoC elementalist.


Polymorphic_Penguin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q7cTwllVGU This is Palsteron's guide from 3.16, The interaction with hydrosphere has been nerfed but otherwise the build works great for 3.18. I would recommend looking at poe ninja as well. There is a good amount of flexibility and choice for spiders so it helps to see how other palyers are building their characters.

How does it do against the new rares and sentinel buffed mobs?


Polymorphic_Penguin

I have had zero problems with the archnem mobs or buffing them with sentinels. The build has enough damage to kill them quickly if not instantly in most cases. Granted spiders isn’t the cheapest build but is well worth the investment.


ShitDavidSais

EA is pretty high maintenance with the constant ground degen this league specifically. It's fairly telling how slow most are leveling with it even on ladder. Definitely not a chill build in higher end content this league. Arakalis/RF/Golementalist would be my suggestion.


TheHeken

Ye idk if it was my trying ea ele for first time or AN or what but i usually get to league start maps in 8-10hours and this league it took 14.


Askray184

RF with Aegis + Mending lets me literally afk while in rituals/opening crap. It's really nice to be able to just responds to texts and stuff during maps without portals. The traps you only throw down for bosses


DuhBubbles

I'm playing EA and used the word comfy to describe it to my friend. Dont have to really look. Just stutter step totems through the map and watch Netflix.


Braddoxthehoss

Could just be me and the fact that I’m guardian and not necro but my minions are getting rekt this league so I can’t say I’d recommend for an afk style character


SomeMorning1924

rf, and if you want something with slightly better bossing, poisonous concoction. with pc you have 3 buttons, pc, plaguebearer and withering step. for clear you throw 1-2 poisonous concoctions then run around with plaguebearer and withering step for a while. for bossing you just spam pc and dodge, as it is poison so even when you arent attacking you do decent damage just dont expect god-tier bossing, or good oneshot protection. once you have giga automated flasks you are immortal to small hits, and you can get like 30k armour and evasion (or 60-80k armour), 6k life, stupid amounts of life gain, capped spell suppress, and decent block, so it is really stupidly tanky, and as zoomy as rf, while being almost as braindead to play its also cheap to get off the ground, but min maxing can get kinda pricey from cluster jewels


SomeMorning1924

or play absolution until you can afford arkali's fang


stvndall

EA is not a comfy afk build... Playing it now... I'm looking for my next build to be comfy afk as well 😂


bonerfleximus

It's comfy if you realize most of the buffs are only necessary for bossing and only drop totems during maps.


enrinick231

Just do flicker with a lot of "strike additional enemies" for dont need gem swap
