@Hercanic I love this build. I have been using the 2H crafted mace (made it myself, yay) along with cold triad grips. My helm is terrible but there is so much damage I don't even notice. I have killed uber elder, shaper and uber atziri without difficulty.

One question I have is the unending hunger jewel, does soul eater affect the corpses generated by cyclone-cwc-desecrate? I removed the jewel and my ES sustain seems to have improved although it may be my imagination. Pardon my ignorance if I missed it somewhere in the guide.

Great job on one of my new favorite builds.

You can find a 6l though, The Restless Ward Carnal Armour (~40c) for example.
With this set up, it's hard to aply EE (and we dont really need EE on mobs, spectre have enough dmg to clear), for boss, you can self cast storm brand for EE.

You should find a better one hand weapon, with 3 socket to get 6l zombies. You can find other base like swords, knife... implict life gain on claw quite useless when you dont use cyclone.

Thanks for your insights, especially re EE.

Yeah, I'm sitting at 17 Chaos currently, so I'm stuck with the gear I have for now ;-) Just started the league.

So I notice that Hercanic is now using Necromantic Aegis and Wicked Ward. I'm guessing the first one is so that they don't have to deal damage at all for everyone (including them!) to get charges.

Not understanding Wicked Ward, though. It's so nerfed from when it was Occultist-only... do you think it's worth it for the build?

Wicked Ward is there to get ES to start recharge all the time since the Acro keystones are no longer taken it means the character will take hit pretty much all the time. The ES regen reduction sucks big time but without Wicked Ward it'll take forever (or never) for ES of the hybrid variant to start recharging. The delay is just too long and the hybrid variant is not invested in ES quality such as increasing recharge amount/regen amount like a true ES build. So Wicked Ward looks very appealingly cheap and is a must-have.

Yeah, I think it's too expensive to take the gamble with that much ex involved. I'm looking at two other options. One being alt/augment till I get the combo and regal the annul and hope the 33% chance pays off (or get super lucky and regal added fire damage). Or put a stuffix on and alt spam till +1 then regal hoping for maim. (may settle for added fire or another gem)

Alt + regal is probably the best. It depends what you want to do with the claw. For level 30 zombie this works and is just alt spam and then regal on maim + gem level and then craft the support gems

but you need a level 4 Empower as well. After you can Leo/Slam to try and hit extra supports.

If you want to multimod it then you will want you buy Craicic Chimerals and make an imprint before you regal ontop of the maim & +1 then annul after the regal and if you hit the maim or +1 use the imprint and then buy another beast and imprint again. Repeat until you have the 2 mods and then craft.

Current gear and links. Anyone have suggestions? At a loss for what's the next upgrade I should go for.

Quality on your gems. Either vendor them at level 20 with 1gcp each and they will go back to level 1 at 20% quality or just use 20gcp on them. At 20/20 either corrupt or double corrupt them for 21/20. Precision really doesn't do much in this build so you could move your golem to your gloves and get an extra gem with your zombies. You have 2 spirit offering setups so you can either drop CWDT or swap your cyclone setup to either ball lightning (lets your drop necromantic aegis) or SRS for more damage
Swap the craft on your body armour to 10% of maximum life as extra maximum energy shield. Get a better anoint on your amulet. Swap the craft to +1 min endurance charges. Don't forget we get 30% resistances for having 10+ minions alive. Recraft the life on your boots to get higher. You're massively over the amount of dex you need. I'd suggest either putting an actual skill point into alacrity or just getting an amulet with more dex on it and a better anoint. Replace you jewels with ones that give your minions blind/taunt. Getting devotion over the 5% nodes at constitution gets you a tiny bit more damage for no extra cost. You have a wasted point just below EE.

Hi
Im new at minion builds. Someone can take a look? Tips?

Thanks...

Quality on your gems, you don't need GMP linked with desecrate so you could put a golem into that socket instead. Using a much lower CWDT setup is better as it will activate much more frequently. Use a level 1 CWDT with a level 7 Desecrate and level 8 spirit offering. Minion damage support in your helmet or buy one that has it as a prefix. Melee physical damage support is 2x more damage than Ele damage as well. So use either of those. Your resistances are overcapped by a lot. We also get 30% resistances for having 10+ minions alive so you can lose some resistances on your gear to get more life if you wanted. You can swap the helmet craft for + maximum life, the amulet can as well. Your body armour and be crafted with gain 10% of maximum life as extra maximum energy shield to give you almost 250 more es. A better life roll on your belt.
Drop some of the jewel nodes, the 3 point at the top and the one with hollow gaze and instead get constitution and the life node next to Devotion. From the tree changes + recrafting you can gain 700 life and 100es




@Hercanic

I haven't played much PoE recently or checked this thread, did you have a gear list that you're using on your Animate Guardian?

I did see that you were looking for gear to test out and I ended up crafting this the other day while bored. Did you want to borrow it for a week or 2 to do some testing?

I'm still trying to get vorici into research to get the 4th blue. Is minion damage/life better than just damage crafted on it?

I've also got this which I'm not using and I'm close to being able to make another one so you can have this one if you need it for your AG setup

Tried out something new today. I keep 3 Frost Sentinel spectres and the last one I have is Defiler. This dude is super tanky (240% inc base life vs 180% from Frost Sentinel), he's sitting at about 126k life. The reason why I use this dude is because he casts Elemental Weakness so I can ditch Mark of Submission with Projectile Weakness to use a rare Unset ring with whatever mods I want for more life and utility like Shock while Focussed and increasing Shock chance when I hit with either Ball Lightning or Blade Flurry. This so far shocks everything (even bosses like Uber Elder most of the time) and coupled with Ele Weak the dmg loss from Proj Weak is made up easily. He casts it pretty often as I move from pack to pack in maps. I know Projectile Weakness gives more dmg in everyway, but all my minions do elemental dmg with added fire (zombies/agony crawler) and immolate (skeletons) so the curse itself is not bad at all. During hexproof maps all curses are disabled so I still have this rare Unset ring on anyway without having to swap between Mark of Submission and itself.

Looking at other mentioned spectres they all surely have some decent niche, but so far I see no mention of this guy so I put him out there. Definitely worth a slot on the team for debuffing with decent curse AoE.

@Hologram_o
If you just want to raise your spectres DPS, use Slave Drivers.

Hologram_o написал:

From what I know slave drivers require a lot of cast speed, and has been nerfed a couple times? They're great but you need to stack cast speed. And if I use it I might have to lose a frost sentinel for him, not sure if that's worth it. And the only curse I use is Ele weak from the Defiler dude. I don't run Proj Weakness anymore.
