[2.6] Ben's Ranged AutoSummoner (BUDGET, MoM, guardian/shaper viable, projectqtup viable)

"
Fuck. Just realized there isn't a single new jorrhast's blacksteel on poe.trade, only legacy ones. and can't reroll with divine either. Crap. Anyone have one I could purchase?

Lol its ridiculous.


I don't understand. I'm just looking into this build. What's wrong with the ones on POE.trade?

But wouldn't it be better to put it on a spell totem


We are starved for gem sockets also self casting wither helps with guiding your minions to where you want. Since they prioritize what the player is targeting.

For everyone wondering about its endgame viability. This is no different than other animate weapon builds just adds a nice way to clear mobs quicker. It can run all map tiers even unidentified maps since it can run all map mods. Animate weapon builds are notoriously good at running chayula breachlords and minotaur atziri very easily. Can run things like shaper but not smoothly or better than other builds. Can also do uber lab really easily just need a stash of weapons to restock yourself between phases.

Also currently testing boss kill gem setups utilizing not only the melee minions but the ranged ones aswell. example, ranged animate weapon links:

animate weapon-added chaos-poison-minion damage- void manipulation-slower proj

notice theres no pierce or gmp. Since I plan on just standing outside minotaur door summoning some wands run in,convocation, cheese it.

Also testing
animate weapon-added chaos-poison-minion damage- void manipulation-gmp
Possibly as a permanent replacement for mapping. At higher tier maps wands drop everywhere also with the addition of finding unID'd wands. Wands are easy to come by especially farming shaped strands so dropping increased duration just makes sense. With void manip and minion damage the poison is getting scaled much higher procing jorrhast even more! Dropping pierce in this case makes the build feel stronger because instead of 5 shotting an entire pack with pierce void manipulation is destroying groups in 2 shots plus it kills the mobs closer to you faster.

I'm talking about the ones on std. If you're talking about the ones on legacy, those are perfectly fine.
Ben,
This is amazing bro. dude you cant believe this... :)

Dude with lvling gear and only normal lab done... 6 socket that weapon, tabula...

i went from level 52-67 in Cruel dried lake...

Carrying 6 man party... solo Voll kills super easy, just run run run gatter ranged weapon as we run... make others grab ranged weapon and drop at entrance on next run... makes OP leveling fast :)

Thank you for this amazing build.

Dude i cant wait to get cruel merc AND uber lab done ? and get map gars on ? dude this is sick :)

does this not proc as much in lower levels? cos i seem to not animate weapons that much... a lot of it on the ground so i have to self cast it...

Build is fun! Picked up this bad boy to use with MoM
Thought i might put a warning in here.

DO NOT, play this with an aura bot. the entire game freezes / stutters most of the time when u pass the 30 minion mark really..

does amazing damage, its just rather unplayable with an aurabot :(

It wont proc as much in lower levels due to low poison damage. Get added chaos and poison leveled up. It should pick up when you are almost done farming dried lake and transitioning into maps.

Yeah I actually had this happen to me last night. Auras will destroy fps if there is a lot of them, it seems to run fine with just a few. Reminds me of when you could conduit charges onto minions basically crashing instances easily.
With your ranged end game mapping gem setup does the Minion Damage gem increase the poison damage? If it doesn't wouldn't you be better off with Increased Duration instead of Minion Damage
Yeah im pretty sure minion damage double dips poison damage.
