I dont like to switch gems. What do you guys running all the time for map and bosses in endgame, multistrike or melee splah?, or all of you switch gems?

I have melee splash in 99% of the time. I only swapped it out for Sirus and the final boss on 20/20 Simulacrum (after the trash was cleared). I'm currently using Saqawal's and the DD node from a cluster jewel so dps isn't an issue whatsoever.

Sorry what it means dd node?

Sorry, I was referring to "Renewal" notable granted by a Cluster Jewel. "Minions have 10% chance to deal Double Damage while they are on full life".

Not sure how much of a dps boost it is actually, but most of the time my minions are on full life unless it's like a 100% delirium red map or end of Simulacrum wave.

Most of the time the non-keystones from timeless jewels end up being useless, so just place it somewhere it won't mess up your tree too much. I used Avatar of Fire for Corrupted Soul

Should be working, I see added fire on both your wand and on a ring (shouldn't really need both...) You are casting Bladefall on the boss you want to hit with EE, right?

Don't level Bladefall past level 1, going further doesn't help anything. But yes, in any event, you will need added dex from gear.

Its Stronger ADDEDD Cold Damage on Body Armor or Feeding Frenzy or DeathMark ???

MOLOK you are my hero!

This build is awesome. I haven't been playing for this long in like 5-6 leagues and returning to nolifing in poe feels so good (fu coronavirus).

I would also like to thank all people answering questions in previous 50 pages. I learned from you a lot. Awesome community :)

I have currently around 6ex and i am looking to improve my character
My thoughts:

1. +2 gems wand - should be attempted to craft with Jagged + Shuddering + Corroded + Metallic? or is there a better way? It is a biggest boost from options below?

2. Better rings - i am running double unsets cause i like portal +vaal haste combo
Do i have to do something special to get "minion speed" unveiled ? I am running syndicate like crazy and still didnt get that and trigger craft on wand unlocked

3. Better jewels and cluster jewels, optimizing tree + abondoning spirit guards?

4. Improving gear on animate guardian If i am getting 100c weapon Quess i should invest in high defense gear also. Good options for deep red map deliriums?

What do you think guys?
Any tips how to improve?

Im confused,

This build can't do any

Physical reflect maps
and
Elemental reflect maps?

Do not change Added Cold Damage from AW ever, AW scale a lot from added sources of flat dmg that other supports. That's why is strong to have jewels with add physical and cold to deal more dmg.

Physical reflect maps
and
Elemental reflect maps?

This build variant (which converts 100% of the Physical damage from Minions to Cold Damage) does not do Elemental Reflect maps optimally. It can still do them, but requires some adjustments before such maps (gloves, main gem links, aura. See "Adjusting to Map Mods" section of the original post for details).

There is also a variant of this build which does not use Cold Damage conversion (in which case the Minions do only or primarily Physical Damage) and therefore has trouble with Physical Reflect maps

P.S. MoLoK13, thank you for the guide (and the high level of quality and detail of it)! While I've tried several other summoner builds over the years, I've never played Animate Weapon. I am enjoying it quite a bit so far :)
