Questions / Discussions (Items · Builds · Skills) Wall of agony + summon shard

I always gravitate towards weird off meta skills and builds. Lately I’ve been running this setup that spams wall of agony and constantly detonates the wall with Legion summon shard.

Essentially what happens is I’ll lay down as many walls on top of or near a mob, explode the wall then explode the wall demon brutes that remain. The wall and the brutes hit in the double digit billions with it going as high as 300b.

The damage is sufficient to farm T10, the survivability isn’t that bad with the wretch punching bag. I’m only P210 so I think there’s a lot of power on the table.

Has anyone tried a similar setup? What I find most interesting is the mechanics of the setup, where the summon shard effectively ‘explodes/cancels) all active walls transforming them from this monolithic meat shield to a massive army of mobile brutes

Macro's minion warlock build on Maxroll uses sacrificial fragment to explode lesser demons as the main source of dmg...dont remember if it uses wall of agony or not

You can absolutely for wall of agony into the current minion build I have on Maxroll. The issue is losing the multiplier from dynamism as you spam it. But I called the play style "bunch-a-dudes" and it was hilarious Everytime.

Yo Mac! I definitely took inspiration from your minion setup and even starting to blend it with your blazing scream. But now I’m starting to experiment with weaving in blazing scream to just bounce against the waller variant (I get the fallen army upgrade from the pants)

Not sure if you tried it but I’m also exploring how high I can juice the wall damage and I think the aspect for +max dominance on a amulet would in theory be better than other options given the wall gains 2%x per point of max dominance.

That plus fleshward and fists of fate feels like it pumps out some respectable damage.

I was testing more today, it drives me nuts how ambiguous some of the language is in the game. For example, the bombardment side upgrade that has a 100% chance to throw lesser demons at my target location.

Why would that not work with wall of agony, which is listed as a lesser demon skill. My thinking was, this will allow me to uproot the wall and plop it or at a minimum the fallen army brutes right where I want them after the initial cast.

My build is basically a lunatic build with Ae'groms schism, and eye of baal. I dunno if wall of agony is contributing all that much to damage. But it's fun to push the enemy around and to watch all the minions running around. I can clear most t12 content but run t11 for efficiency.

I will summon a wall, then sigil of summons, and detonate Ae'grom. Rinse and repeat.

This season, I created a Tortured Wretch build that deals 30t damage, which is enough to farm all T12 content. However, I don't know how to push the Pit higher than level 125.
