Hey, I'm new to the game, enjoying this build thx to kay, but i wonder if I have some weird/bad gear to change ? btw I'm using W/S V2
Thanks for your time
Assuming your resistances are ok, the first things that I notice:
-You helm lacks + to minion gems. +2 should be fairly cheap. +3 and/or a Bone Helmet with minion damage implicit will cost considerably more.
- Ideally you'd like to be able to enchant minion damage on your gloves, and having the blind on hit like in Kayella's guide will help a fair bit.
- Your boots lack +1 to spectre gems. Boots of Ullr are the cheap option, crafted boots with more movement speed and life would be about 1-2 ex.
- I can't see your jewels, so assuming you have the unique ones sorted.
- The above changes are likely to cost you some resistances in those slots. Your rings and amulet are relatively low in resistances. At this stage of gearing you could easily get a lot more from them. The amount of dexterity you currently have seems overkill for W+S as well, so you can sacrifice some of that.
All those investments should I believe be well under 100 chaos per item. (Usually far below that)
One other note for future gearing: it would be better if your chest had room to enchant 10% of health as ES.
Really appreciate your answer,
-I found that bone helmet +3 is around 2ex, should I get a +3 that isnt a bone helmet or just wait until i get the cash ?
-ok i'll try and some uber lab
-I do have the unique ones and others are minion dmg cast speed etc + life
-103 fire; 115 cold ; 139 light is my current resistance
Regarding helmets, that's a question I'd been wrestling with as well as I was gaining currency. (I'll likely swap to PoH which uses Diadem before I resolve the question for myself ;P) When you want to go for the really good helmets, ideally you'd want some of minion damage support, concentrated effect support or + maximum life as well, and those get rather expensive.
Depending on your current budget, I suspect looking for a cost effective solution in your helmet slot while also upgrading the rest of your gear might help you more than spending full budget on the helm. (For example ideally you'll want +1 to all minion gems on your wand, which will also help your spectres, as well as the zombies/AG) When looking for a more budget solution, it could be worth importing some options in PoB and see how they affect your build. While doing this I found spending 3 ex on a helmet was at the time not the most cost efficient for me in terms of DPS upgrade. (In terms of survivability the AG in my +2 helmet has never really been in danger, even at Uber Elder.) So I prioritized boots and chest first. (Worth noting if you ever want to consider going for the PoH version that the builds can easily 'share' chest/boots, but your helm will only be for W+S, as PoH needs a Diadem.
One quick double check: Are you aware that Strength also adds life at 0.5 per point? If you use the psuedo modifiers in Trade search for Life, the search will already take this into account. Can be helpful when looking for high life gear. (Just noticed your gear doesn't really have any, though that could also be a coincidence :-) )
Using this as my shield for the time being. Aside from trying to get CWDT as an enchant on a shield, what other affixes would make a rare shield better than this? Is Recover's 5% of life when you block better than all the extra life and armor on Lioneye's?
I paid extra for that recover 5% of life when you block. Assuming 9k hp, that's 450 life recovered. Don't forget that Bone Offering also provides 594 life recovered per block.
Not 100% sure if it's worth it over another mod. It's very good if you're facetanking a lot of mobs but if you might get nearly one shot from bosses then more max life would be better.
CWDT seems very rare and it just saves you one gem slot or gives increased duration, it's not that beneficial.

Anyone managed to complete Vaal Omnitect challenge with summoner build..? :)
I saw a video, read some info and tips, but still seems almost impossible to me as I see it. Tried once, got a Tempest Tower II, but still the Boss only made the blue half circle waves around him and did not used any pink buble circle debuff at all...

So I did some small upgrades :
About the dexterity in the ring, Phase Run force me to have this much because it ask 155 dex at lvl 20... Maybe I should leave it at lvl 1 ?
Any thoughts on replacing Enhance with Conductivity and anointing Whispers of Doom > Ravenous Horde?
Enhance only adds -4% all resist to Elemental Weakness, so it feels like an extra -44% Lightning Resist and 14% chance to shock would be better than the prior combination?

You need a room that adds tempests to the room.
Click this, go to incursion and look for tempest.
There probably is a better way but i let my spectres transition him into add phase and unsummoned them shortly before it ends, then i let my zombies get him to 10% before unsummoning them. From then on it is waiting till the boss does his wave, but be careful you dont always get shocked on hit, and a tempest. When you have both kill the boss with Culling Strike from the still standing AG.

Use Speaker's Wreath (minions can only kill ignited enemies), dont use fire skills (and make sure your minions dont have fire dmg).
Wait for the tempest buff to be given to you + the lightning wave and then kill it (it'll stay at 1hp due to Speaker's Wreath, so any damage you do will finish it)

Yes, the second curse adds a lot of damage.
You can save a few passives with a chest piece like this, probably costs 12 ex, then my curse setup is Elemental Weakness + Conductivity
About the dexterity in the ring, Phase Run force me to have this much because it ask 155 dex at lvl 20... Maybe I should leave it at lvl 1 ?
Having to get 155 dex just for Phase Run definitely isn't worth it. And probably isn't worth it for high level Vaal Haste either. You can compromise by only going for level 12-16 gem.
