11/21/19: I decided to tweek the build better suited for damage, maligaro's lens will provide us with a quick explosion on our minions, if you dont choose to go this route then I will leave the old POB open, just understand that quicker we explode the better our overall damage is. I've also updated the POB with 2 set ups, a koam's set up and the original skin of the loyal set up. feel free to choose those layouts for both the skills and the item sets. Game play soon, caught up in my bleed bow glad currently.


Pros

Скрытый текст

+ cheap (all of our uniques are based on 1 alch to 1c uniques (they get cheaper as the league progresses due to low demand)
+ beginner friendly
+ fast and safe leveler (even with no uniques)
+ moderate to high clear speed
+ tanky (high life and defenses from ASC + minions)
+ fun and different play style from most summoner builds


Cons

Скрытый текст

- minion play style (not for everyone)
- not zooming clear speed (very slow compared to other builds *bows, spectre, ect*)
- management (we have quite a few buttons to press this is a con to those who love their 1 to 2 button builds)

Weapons:
Скрытый текст




Our main weapon and what the build is based around. This weapon allows us to cover our enemies in Ash as well as providing AOF, more minion damage and the all important more damage to skeletons allowing them to blow up faster. Look for maximum fire damage taken and higher minion damage roll you can find/afford



Our next choice, a solid shield providing defenses and life. It's my personal choice if you feel its too much for you and you dont need the defense. Then you can choose a rare shield or craft a scepter with more minion life + minion damage modifiers

Opional (depending on your play style *better dps in the end*)



We will use Maligaro's Lens this will allow us to allocate Necromantic Aegis, essencially giving all our minions the shield bonus instead of us, this will make our minions burns almost instantly and pop for bigger and faster damage, but it hinders our defense. Choose what your playstyle fits.




Body Armor
Скрытый текст

Here is our most flexible choice for the build it all depends on what route you can take for the build personally I will be choosing Skin of the Loyal for more gem level + increased defenses this will be the higher budgeted item.

Our next choice can simply be a crafted rare with +max number of skeletons as well as high life and resists if need be.

The last option if you chose to use a crafted helmet with minion damage and minion life gems along with the minion health and damage crafts we can choose to use a solid option such as Kaom's Heart


Jewels

Rings, Gloves, Boots,

Simple here we want Life, Resistances, Movement Speed, and Dexterity.


Helmet
Скрытый текст

1st option:

Simple here we would want a bone helmet with life and resistances.

2nd option (max budget):

Here is where a big amount of currency can be dumped into the build to make it better but also far more expensive.

We want something along the lines of this:

This would be our highest budgeted item in the build next to a Kaom's Heart

Sorry for the late reply, if we did a minion damage + minion life helment then we would move basically nothing because it becomes a 6 link still, if you happen to have gotten a helmet that was + to minions we'd also keep that set up. If you don't think you have enough Area damage use increased area of effect for clearing then switch to conc for harder bosses/metamorphs.
Added new POB to reflect my changes check out the change log and change the gear accordingly remember also to change the amulet depending on the tree you choose with maligaro's we want to annoint our amulet with Gravepact (1 azure and 2 black oils) :)

more than likely the sceptre is a common drop, and it's not meta so very ethical
Build looks interesting, was wondering when the gameplay videos will be there so i could check it out.
Also, Do you think this build can do every content of the game? as of uber elder and so on?
