Hi WoD, many many thanks for all the effort you put in designing, testing, and writing these guides.

Even if Heist is near its end, I’d like to improve my build because I’m still trying to kill Sirus for the first time!!! This time the Zombie Lady wasn’t my league starter, so I’ve 10-15 Exalt to spend.
I’ve already read the “My dream mods” section, but I can’t figure out which mod is more important than others.
Could you put me in the right direction?

Hey kaprot!

Thanks for your kind words! I really appreciate it :).

The most important mods for this build are Maximum life and Resists. Make sure those are great. After that, everything is bonus. Of course, adding +1 to your zombie count is amazing (helmet and gloves). You can spend some of those exalts on Influenced gear too. There are some nice Minion mods (not many) that can help. (Even adding an extra curse.) An Elder Influenced Helmet can essentially 6-link your zombies within a 4-link, letting you add more defence to the build.

But honestly, with a minion build like this, you just want to stay alive. You minions will live through everything and kill everything too. So just make sure you can stay alive as you move around and cast Signal Prey.

I hope that helps?

Hi Wod, I don't want to go too far from your build, but I'm dying too often to be able to kill Sirus.
My resistances are almost capped (I just miss 27% chaos res to reach 75% in all of them) and my life is around 5500.
Given that the more the better, how much life, at least, should I aim for?
Do you have time to take a look at my gear and suggest some improvements?

I've been using this build and having a ton of fun in the current league. I'm really excited for the upcoming mayhem and endless delve events. I don't plan on going much past level 50 since I can only play an hour or so a day. All I really care about is getting the twilight box. If I can get to 60 or above, great, if not oh well.
I'm pretty sure this build will level me fast enough to accomplish this.

Thank you for the fun and easy to play build I was looking for as a new poe player. :)

Hey kaprot!

I took a look at your setup and nothing seems to be out of place. Gems, tree, gear...it all looks great! I mean, there's always stuff to improve but the improvements you make won't be the difference-maker here. Some of your stuff is better than mine for sure! I think what it may be is simply play-style; maybe the build's playstyle doesn't suit you? I found that going slow and only watching the ground I'm on (and basically ignoring Signal Prey until boss time) was the big game-changer for me. I stopped watching my minion numbers, I stopped caring about anything except for where I was standing and it made a world of difference.

If you don't think that's the issue, you could always replace the 4-link that has the curse and Purifying Flame to something like: Shield Charge-Fortify Support-Hextouch Support-Curse. That way you'd get Fortify while also staying close to enemies for the sake of Flesh and Stone. But you'd lose 6% life regen and some Dodge chance.

Also, don't worry about getting 75% Chaos resist unless you want it. Chaos resist scales differently than elemental resists. 0% Chaos resist is the same "power" as 75% elemental resist (though Chaos resist can be improved beyond 0. So don't make that too big of a focus.

Hopefully that helps some.

Thanks for your answer. Since I'm slow, I'm probably not gonna go beyond level 50-60 in any of the events, so I guess I'll see what comes my way early on and then end up with zombies again. XD

Hi Wod,

Thanks for your answer. I'll try to follow your playstyle and see if it's better for me.

As much as I love ordering my minions around with Predator Support, I find myself not using it as often as I could or should. Perhaps if I played PC instead of PS4 it would be different...but that is a topic for another day.

That being said, I replaced PS with Summon Phantasm Support. It "seems like" a dps gain, but at the cost of some control.

My question is now regarding the Melee Physucal Damage Support in the 6L since the Phantasms deal Physical Projectile damage and not melee. Should I leave it alone or is there a better support which will boost the overall damage?

To a lesser degree, the same question with regards to Fortify Support. Since the Phantasms are temporary, would it be better to have a different gem instead? Hmmmm....for that matter, would Skeletons be better now than Zombies? Oy vey. My head hurts ><

Help (lol)
