I don't agree. Midnight bargain is a powerful item, and it's downside defines it. They could buff it through other means, but in all honesty it's powerful enough as is. CI won't really my choice ever for a summoner, because it never offered much over life or hybrid over me (ye sure more ES than life, but I still lose potions without getting damage/defenses. Reason to go low life/hybrid is for more auras)

Hybred Aurmancer...

Victario's Influence and Alpha's Howl, blood magic gem: 2 curses (Enhanced), PoE, Haste, Vitality, Clarity, Generosity Hatred (Bm)
...
Heretic's Veil + Prism Guardian: Double Curse, Haste, Poe, Clarity
...

Is there a reason that you don't consider a combo of Victario's Influence, Alpha's Howl and Prism Guardian?

I can consider it. Give me examples and I will put them in. Ive only considered option's so far that I found significantly advantagous on a specific area over another setup.

Sure, here is one: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1881391. There are a few variants so look under the spoiler for "142 Attack and Cast speed + 298 increased Damage Commander of Darkness".

Chaos is a problem with this particular combo. Here https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1840451 is a different one that goes all-in on Coruscating.


On a separate note, there's a Dying Breath build that uses Alpha's Howl and Shav's.
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1573654 I am interested in a Dying Breath + Victario's Influence combo for really effective auras but this build is the only one I've found that is even close.

On the seperate note: There will actually be a section for animate guardian in this build. I think due to victario's flight, it finally deserves a proper slot, but havent updated in 2.6 much.

First example: I want to make clear this is not a support build and don't plan on making one. Grace and determination thus have no place in our build, and running all 3 elemental dmg auras neither, because we will focus on 1 element. Hence, running such a heavy reduced reservation build is quite bad, as we can't actually use all of that space, due to the need of minions. In the end, it also loses too much survivability between both alphas (no ES/no life) and victario's (low ES/no life), which paired with our already relatively low EHP pool (I was only just able to hit 11k ES in breach, and that was with very high end gear, in 3.0 this will be lower, and thus we won't want to comprimise too much).

I assume the second example also goes in too much on the Aurabot part. I want to state just once more, we're not an aurabot/support. We are a summoner who uses Auras (and curse auras) as support for ourselves.

new support gem decay seems really strong with this I have been messing with it on just zombies and they kill everything very quickly

Agreed. Minions have way better scaling for decay than players have, due to both the minion damage gem, and the minion damage from the tree/necromancer, it's just that Im not yet sure which spectre would go best with it, if it's even going to be combined into a lategame build (generally, mobs won't have time to degen due to being oneshot, so we'll have to see)

Another issue is that it doesn't stack, so only 1 minion can apply decay :/

We could use zombies as utlity and give them the new gem that maims.

Plus wither (hinder effect) and tempo chains, monsters will be motionless :p
