Minion Lightning Ball - LB Totem with culling strke and auras ;)

Hey This is a build I´m currently leveling in HC Mode. (lvl 28)
I want to have as many Minions as possible.
Use Auras to support them.
Cast Lightning Ball as main damage source and the shock.
an use a Lightning Ball Totem with culling strike to finish them off.

I have a simular Softcore Build lvl 40 and it´s fun, but I know HC is a diffrent story.



Now my questions:
Is the Vaal Summon Skeletons gem any good?
Is my Skilltree useless?
What support gems do I need?
Wich Auras work the best with Minions?
Do I need to curse? and wich one?

This are a lot of Newbe queions.... Thanks!

Push

Push it

1rst impression :

Arc with quality grants chance to shock. What Ball lightning does not.
Try to find the "matriarch" build

OK this is new for me I will look for the gem and see the build.
Thx for helping out a newbee
