hello YouTube. Welcome back. This is B Mage again, and we're going over my absolute degenerately Overkill man Max version of this. I will say before I start there is further I could take this still. I still don't have a corrupted Dias. I still don't have a level four in power. I could do more things, but at this stage, I'm doing 12 mod Max effect, Max pack size mod. I can do Delirious. I can do tier 17s. I can do Ubers. I can do everything already on this build at this stage. Taking it any further than this seems pointless, although there is way more I could do. In fact, I've been doing all those things I mentioned except Ubers um with a rarity support gem in just to get more gold uh and not even noticing that's how op we're at. So you can see in the background running some of these 12 mod corrupted Maps. I did have to make a few changes to our hly Relic build. One and the biggest change I had to make was when you're

doing 12 mod corrupted Maps. Almost every single map comes with reduced effect of auras, and that scales all the way up to sometimes A 106% reduced effect of auras, which meant I had to make some changes to the build. Specifically, I had to make some... I had to get rid of everything that was in Aura. I had to find a way to use my Mana that wouldn't be ruined by Aura effect. In doing that, I think this setup is at least as good as the normal Aura setup, potentially slightly better, potentially slightly worse. I'm not sure which one. It's very close. It's a very close setup. So, we'll jump in-game and we'll have a look at some of the things we changed. All right, so before I go through this, I want to note two things. One, we're doing this in town because otherwise the specters make a lot of noises and shouts, and it's really annoying. But we had to do some changes, so we had to get rid

of malevolence. We had to get rid of determination. They were both getting ruined by the reduced effect of Aura mods. So, in order to do that, I had to find something else to do with all my Mana. I couldn't find enough to do with all my Mana, so I ended up dropping sovereignty entirely. I did have to keep this 12% RMR, and in its place, we are using Arctic armor, flesh and stone, and aspect of the spider. So, aspect of the spider is a really cool buff. It does not count as an aura. It hinders to reduce movement speed in a very large area, stacking very quickly, and the level 31 up to four with a debuff that also gives you 5% increased damage taken is a debuff, not an aura. So, that debuff comes through at Max effect 20% increase damage taken on everything around me, plus a slow. That's really nice. Arctic armor is really good for a few reasons. One, less physical damage taken. Physical is always going to be our

weakest point, especially when you're reducing determination, when you're getting rid of determination entirely, physical becomes a problem. More importantly, or maybe equally importantly, it also makes you immune to freeze. So, doing that upgrade or that change made it so that I didn't need Bron King anymore because I was using that for avoiding being frozen. So, that meant I got to change over to Soul of Laris. I could have also taken Sol of Aari; those would have been both fine options. But here I got while mapping, there's always going to be at least eight things around me. I got 8% movement speed, 8% more physical damage reduction, 6% reduced elemental damage taken, avoid projectiles while chained, and 10% chance to avoid all projectiles. Great. So now, now we get to do those things. Then we've got flesh and stone, two parts of this aura. One of them is an aura while in blood stance. Aura makes enemies take 21% increased physical damage from hits. If I was to try and use that part, the

reduced AA effect would ruin me, but I don't care about that part. I only care about the sand stance part, and that one while in Stand sand stance buff makes you take 20% less damage from enemies in the aura. Now, it's got a pretty small range, but it's buff that makes you take 20% less damage from enemies in the aura. The wording there is weird, but what that ends up being is increased area of effect or AA size would change the size of the buff, but the effect of the buff does not change with aura effect, meaning I can't buff it. I can't make it any stronger, but it also means the reduced effect of auras in my map doesn't make it weaker, so anything in there getting less damage taken. I also kept my temper shield but moved it into a ring, into an unset ring, and that let me put on a chaos skull, which with the ashes has 50% increased effect that rounds down, so it only ends up being 2% more, but it's still that's

still 7% more physical damage reduction, and that let me put Feeding Frenzy in. Now, I also went with Despair on hit as a fracture there so that I could keep my own curse. I've given the As and Ass Gentle Touch to the anime Guardian, so still got both of my curses that way. The next degenerate min-max thing that I did was we fractured a temple ring. This is getting ridiculous; you don't need to go this far. I'm just showing you you can; you don't need to. We fractured a temple AIX for the Mana to get three Mana gain on hit. That freed up a jewel socket so that I could put another Abyssal Jewel in. Why are my Abyssal Jewels so important? Because we also fractured every single Abyssal Jewel to have enemies withered by you have -2 to all resistance. That is all resistance, not all Elemental resistance, so it's actually -2 to chaos for us. So, we've got Life, Flat chaos, and poison chance, and weather on every single Jewel, so I've

got two there, two in my belt, and one there, and one here in my weapon. Uh, in the weapon one, I didn't need any more poison chance, so instead of that, we took minions leech 0.4% of damage as life. That saved us the minion leech node, so we got a passive point back. The only downside of doing it this way is that you can't have multimod and Trigger, because multimod, trigger, Abyssal socket, and attack speed are all suffixes. So, in order to get the Abyssal socket here, all you had to do was Hollow fossil a sword, and then fracture it, and then once that was fractured, go about crafting the normal way. Essence spam for Minion damage, a null down, hit the trigger, all good again. This is overkill; you absolutely don't need to do this. Um, right, so the next things, uh, we got unnerve as an implicit here. Uh, that doesn't affect the poison, but it does affect the hit component. The hit component of holy Rel is still quite high, and it's still

pretty good. I also got a 15% chance to MIM on the other side. It doesn't affect our damage, but MIM is a nice debuff to have. It slows them more on top of them getting hit by temp chains, on top of them getting hit by the aspect of the spider. So, everything around me moves quite slowly, so that's cool. Over here, new boots. I'm still doing the immune to chill thing. I don't care about it being a craft because I'm whirling blades everywhere anyway, so just new boots that have the aspect of the spider. Um, right, the next thing, the next Overkill thing we did. There's a few ways to do this, but it is pretty good having a level 25 raised Spectre gem. It lets me get a third Spectre. That lets me have all three of the Spectres I wanted while keeping Decay Ward. Decay Ward is making all my minions very, very tanky. Uh, I have not lost an animate Guardian. I've been doing 12 mod Max effect tier 16s with delirium and everything. I've been using

animate guardian of the smiting who has less health loses all of his health but has better coverage for his curse and he hasn't taken any damage. I've done some tier 17s. He hasn't taken any damage. He's been fine the whole time. That is because of all the extra levels and keeping Decay War. So how do we get to level 25? A few ways you can do it. The way I did it is a corrupted Joffrey's Crest with plus two to socket of minion gems. And I put my minion in here. Mixing that with the plus one all level that's on my amulet and the plus one to all Minion skill gems on my stupidly overpowered Shield, which is also Overkill and absolutely unnecessary. But between the plus one there, the plus one there, and the plus two here, and getting a level 21 phas Spectre, it ends up being level 25. So I get my third Spectre. My specters will be in the path of building, but they

are the perfect hulking misant, perfect Forest Warrior, and perfect warlord. Um, so we can go through those in a minute. Anyway, things that I had left to do. I still only have a level three in power. I could easily get that to level four for an extra level. I still don't have a corrupted Dias. I want to get a plus one all corrupted Dias, which would bring my holy Relic from level 21 to level 22, or up one again. Uh, but would also bring the Empower up one. So, a plus one all would give me two levels, one to the holy Relic and one to the Empower, which would give me one more to the holy Relic, which would bring me to 30, and then also the extra Empower would bring me to level 31. So, that could be really cool. I could go further with that. Um, I also never upgraded for my 95% belt, though, in the path of building. I fixed it to be a 100% belt because I absolutely should have done that. That was pure laziness.

and I forgot, and if we're looking at a Min-maxed version, you absolutely should have a 100% belt, especially when you're looking at enemies that have minus two resistance. Anyone who followed the min-max from last League will know that instead of this wither, I did the MIM versions and I like tattooed one chance to MIM on and used enemies MIM by you take 5% increase damage. Um, this is almost exactly to the point the same amount of damage. The only reason Know It with wither this time is because I went with MIM last time. They're both the same amount of damage. If you're Min-maxing the [__], I don't care if you use all of one, all of the other, or mix them. Doesn't matter. One of those two affixes is how you bring it to the [__] min-max stage, okay? Other things that are left is I have not replaced this cluster Jewel, which is a pretty average cluster Jewel.

here this one's not great. Probably should have replaced it. The one I have up here was pretty decent, not perfect, but it was pretty decent. Um, I would love to have increased effect instead of that flat energy Shield, but otherwise that would have been great. Uh, but this one's definitely good enough. If this one was better, if this cluster Jewel was better, I would be putting my extra points there right now instead of here. I'm level 99, so I've taken these two. I'm only, I know those 20% into the next level or so. So I will just take righteous army with the next one for 20% damage and a little bit of regen. That's great. But if I had a better cluster, I would not have gone back up this side with these last three points. I would have taken the back three of this cluster. Okay, so coming over to the path of building, I do have the config set up. I am wearing the king maker now. We have the culling strike. We have the, uh, you can apply an additional curse. We also

have some defensive debuffs. You know I can't be crit. I'm crit immune, that sort of thing from the Garb. Um, I will put the animate Guardian gear in the notes section. I will also put the specter's names in the note section so you can check what those are. We've got four stacks of spider. You can see our Max Fizz hit is nearly 20K, which is very reasonable. Our recovery is still insane. Our Max hit to everything else is pretty good. We do have a great amount of life here, fantastic. We've still managed to get 16,000 armor, which doesn't sound like a lot because it's not, but we did it without determination. And we get the less damage taken from, we get all the physical damage reductions, and we get the less damage taken from our non-Ora Mana reservations before the armor happens. So the amount of armor I have is still relevant because of all those less damage taken things will be done beforehand. And our DPS according to path of building is sitting at nearly 17 mil.

and as we all know, that is woefully, woefully underestimating my damage. I would have to guess it's somewhere around 65 mil maybe. Also, I forgot to put a stack of poisons on, so it's actually more like 188. Um, you have to put a stack of poisons on because V toxin doesn't automatically put it there, and it's 5% more hit up to 9, etc. So yeah, we're at 188 here. That is woefully underestimating it. And what's really important is if, without even touching the rest of the support gems, if I got a level four in power, it would go to 21. And then if I got a plus one, it would level this and this. If I got a plus one Dias, and that would put me at 25 without even worrying about the rest of my support gems, which could all level up again. And if you got them at level six, they would all end up being plus one, so you would end up at 26 and a half.

in PA of building that would have to be somewhere close to that would have to be somewhere close to 100 million, which is pretty good when you're this tanky. But I didn't go that far, so we're going to leave it all exactly where it is to share um. But there is still plenty more to go from here um. The Forbidden Jewels I picked was just getting four in here uh, so I ended up getting mistress's sacrifice cuz it was the cheapest. But I could have taken mistress plague Bearer, bone barrier, or unnatural, and it would have been the same. Plague Bearer is the extra one that you could absolutely give up. My favorite one is actually void Beacon um. It's significantly better, especially for Clear um. Not for Clear, sorry. Especially for um. Single Target and Maven stuff. My second favorite one is propane Bloom, which I also didn't get because it would just help you. That's the clear one. It would just cause the pop explosions everywhere um. Profane Bloom is the one if you want to Gig a

map clear void Beacon the absolute best one if you want to do incredibly hard single Target stuff. But these are all significantly cheaper, so I went with the cheaper option because it's been a struggle to make money this league. Took me a lot longer to in Max's build than I thought it would, but that is the end of it. That is the end of all I'm doing with the Holy Relic build this Le. I hope everybody's enjoyed it a lot. I've certainly enjoyed it a lot. It has done absolutely every bit of content I can absolutely. I know for sure I'll be playing this again. It's been a super large amount of fun. We're going to find some other stuff to do now, so that is all I have. I will see everybody next time, and goodbye.

Balor's Holy Relic Juiced Maps Necromancer Final Update | PoE 3.25 Build Guide Showcase

BalorMage

Overkill Man Max Build: Key Changes and Strategies

The build is already extremely powerful, capable of handling 12 mod corrupted maps, tier 17s, and Ubers.

The reduced effect of auras in these maps forced a change in strategy, leading to the removal of aura skills and the use of mana in different ways.

The new setup includes Arctic armor, flesh and stone, and aspect of the spider for debuffs and damage reduction, maintaining a strong effect despite the aura reduction.

Optimizing Character Build for Damage Reduction and Immunity

The character build focuses on reducing determination and avoiding freeze, leading to a switch from Bron King to Soul of Laris.

The build includes movement speed, physical damage reduction, and projectile avoidance, while using Flesh and Stone aura for damage mitigation and chaos skull for increased effect.

Abyssal jewels are fractured to provide enemies with -2 to all resistance, enhancing the character's damage output and survivability.

The player has optimized their minion setup by using a weapon with minion leech instead of poison chance, allowing them to regain a passive point.

They crafted a sword with an Abyssal socket through a Hollow fossil and fracturing method, while also using a level 25 raised Spectre gem to get a third Spectre.

The combination of various gear and gems has resulted in a powerful setup, keeping the Animate Guardian and minions tanky while successfully completing high-tier content.

The character is currently at level three in power and aims to reach level four for an extra boost.

They are seeking a corrupted Dias to achieve a plus one all, which would elevate their holy Relic and Empower levels.

The character also plans to replace an average cluster Jewel and is close to reaching level 99, with the next points allocated for righteous army for additional damage and regen.

The character has crit immunity and defensive debuffs from the Garb, with a Max Fizz hit close to 20K and 16,000 armor without determination.

The damage taken reduction mechanics make the armor relevant, and the DPS is underestimated at nearly 17 million, with a potential real value around 65 million.

Adding poison stacks and leveling up support gems could further increase the damage output.

Building a Tanky Character: The Holy Relic Build

The character build is close to a $100 million investment, focusing on tankiness.

The player chose the cheapest option for the Forbidden Jewels, with a preference for Void Beacon and Profane Bloom for their clear and single-target capabilities.

Despite the struggle to make money this league, the player enjoyed the build and plans to play it again in the future.
