[3.10] Herald of Purity Summoner | 36/40 | Deathless Sirus lvl 8 | By far my strongest Build

I got all the stuff for my necro but I still have low life. 5k hp and 600 es doesn't feel too good in HC.

I changed the tree a bit to make it tankier but maybe I fucked up? could someone take a look?

Prices for most of the gear definitely went up in price since the beginning of the league, but nothing insane. Spent less than 10ex for my current gear (6-linked calamity, elder helm, crafted wand, etc), 2ex for chromes for off-color re-rolls and finally 2ex for golden oils for anointment. Overall pretty cheap for a second or third character.

Character is fun and pretty easy to play. Getting chunked is the biggest issue. I am forgoing the last gem slot for additional life and armor passives. It is helping a bit. I am assuming the additional sentinel with helm enchant will help for damage mitigation asides added damage.

Is there any downside to throwing in rejuvenation totem to the portal socket?

Obviously we don't have any totem buffs so it's not the strongest but if you put it out of the way I find that it is easy enough to keep up since this build has very few button presses.

Hello and thanks for a great guide. It is great fun to play I must say :)

Now, i got something around 7ex to spend, can somebody give me some ideas what to upgrade to push build further?

Thanks you very much!

A helm with the +1 additional sentinels labyrinth mod. You can also try to get '+2 socketed minion gems' alongside the 'socketed gems supported by minion life'. I doubt you can buy all that with 7ex but you might be able to craft one yourself.

The +2 minion gems on your helm will get you to level 25 zombie and spectre. At this level you gain an additional zombie and spectre. You already have +1 on your wand and you get +2 from the class ascendancy. +2 more on the helm would allow you to reach this.

Hey guggelhupf,

Absolutely love this build! Thank you for the detailed write up. It is very fun and easy to play. I am still working towards Sirus (I don't even know how to spawn him, I have 19 watchstones so far, I should watch a guide) but have had no problems with t16 4x sextant maps. Last league I played the pre-nerf "King of all Summoners" build and did deathless uber elders and this is right up there with that.

One change I made to the skill tree was to go after the Death Attunement node, also gaining a little more minion damage along the way. I did this by removing Barbarism and the socket node below it.

With 4 spectres I run 2x Carnage Chieftans, 1x Host Chieftan, and 1x Diabolist for enfeeble.

It could just be my play style but I found my damage (and as a result survivability) to be much greater. I still have over 6000hp and 600es. This build is very flexible in this regard, there are a couple places that allow small changes to be made without affecting the build as a whole.

I have a question with the level 1 CWDT setup on the gloves - does the bonus item levels from minion gems affect the level in which convocation will proc? I also tried linking steelskin with it but I don't even know if either of them even proc when damage is taken since there is so much going on my screen.



Should that proc on damage taken?

hey, thank you for this great feedback.

if you let convocation at lvl 1 it doesnt matter if it get some lvl. tbh i dont know if it will be affected by the proc at all, but to be sure with yourself, just let it be lvl 1 ;)

I decide to try this build because i had very good experience with your facebreaker scion build ago =) (i think it was your build if i remember correctly)

I looked for a summoner build without a cyclone attack skil ^^

then i see this guide and your name and tryed it again, and i must say, this build is incredible =)

reach lvl 90 , leveling up was a piece of cake, and overall this build feels damn strong.

this evening i got lucky and got my 2 syndicate white sockets on the right place of my calamity and can now use the full 6 link. (on top of that a few minutes before the rng gaves me an exalted)

Thx for your awesome builds, keep up the good work !

Edit:

I got a question because idk how to calculate this.
My helmet got +3 to socket minion gems and rolled lvl 18 minion dmg too. I decided to craft the minion life via workbench.
But it doesnt have the Sentinel enchant.

Is there a big difference to the missed helm enchant(in terms of dmg)? I really like this helmet, but for the enchant i have to buy another helmet, because 1 lab enchant farming is some kind of hopeless.

short answer: yes

its like 25% more dmg with 5 instead of 4 minions. but if you feel its enough for you and you dont have any problems with the content, than i dont see a problem in it ;)

I am playing around with vulnerability on my wand:
I moved carrion golem to my gloves. I have to manually summon it if he dies, but he is a strong little guy and I think it only died once in a massive explosion since I made the change. So far, so good.


What would be better for this build? Vulnerability or elemental weakness? I do not know how to calculate the damage for all the minions.
