Path of Exile Wailing Essence of Fear FAQs

Which builds benefit most from this Essence?

Summoner builds like Guardian Herald of Purity, Necromancer Skeleton Mage, or Absolution Inquisitor benefit from guaranteed minion damage and life modifiers. Movement speed is also valuable for clear-speed focused minion builds.

Should I corrupt this Essence or use it directly?

Use directly when targeting specific minion modifiers. Corrupting may yield Screaming-tier or special Essences, but risks losing deterministic control.

Can this Essence be used in influence crafting?

Yes, but use early in the process. Essence modifiers override standard affix pools and may block influence-specific mods. Apply before slamming influence mods.

Does minion damage from Essences scale with support gems?

Absolutely. Flat minion damage scales with support gems like Minion Damage, Elemental Focus, and Multistrike. It also benefits from aura scaling and curses.

Is minion movement speed relevant in endgame?

Yes. Faster minions improve clear speed, responsiveness, and boss uptime. Especially useful for builds relying on aggressive AI or minion repositioning.
