[3.15] Broodmother: Summon Spiders Necro | THE NEW OP SUMMONER | 8m DPS | 11k EHP

At the moment mapping with the build is godlike and i can face everything with almost 6k life, but against bosses i feel it a little more "slow" in damage i don't feel the "melt" compared to other leagues even i swapped to an melee phys gem 20/23, can you take a look at my character? i have everything set exept for the fettle cluster jewel

You don't have dual curse, that's like 34% more total DPS you're missing. Anoint your amulet for Whisper of Doom.

Also I just noticed it but I have no clue why you have a Purity of Ice Aul's Uprising. The Aul's I used in the guide is the Envy one, because it GIVES me the Envy aura and also makes it free, right now you are completely wasting your amulet slot because you don't even have Purity of Ice socketed anywhere and you don't need Purity of Ice either.

Fun build. If we add unset ring we can put offering here, 4L body and add another minion. I added lightning golem but it can be zombies or spectres.

I am lvl 74 with this build and BY THE GODDESS it is strong

Yea once you throw on the uniques it's smooth sailing all the way until red maps, then you buy a couple of upgrades for your different rares and get some jewels, then it's smooth sailing to Maven!

OK Build is going really well, but now that I am in the endgame maps, my performance is so bad. Ultimatums are dangerous not because of the monsters but because of the lag and texture streaming. It's like a powerpoint presentation. I am using a gaming laptop that is ~3 years old, so I don't have the most powerful machine, but has anyone found any solution that helps even a little?

I have a decent PC and I still have issues, everyone is having them right now so unfortunately I don't have a fix for you. Just have to wait for a patch to come through. I've died plenty on this build and one even tankier due to lag spikes during Ultimatum, it really sucks so I understand how you feel.

I used the build and is really fun. Definitely powerful: I just did a T7 map and I was trying to keep up with my spiders consuming everything. This while still missing a whole lot of damage (crap abyss jewels, no Renewal, no Whispers of Doom).

I am not completely sure how damage mitigation works here (I don't think I have played an energy shield build before, at least not into mapping). I use Shield Charge and Enduring Cry but sometimes I died really fast and I am not sure why.

I might still be used to the previous build playstyle where minions took a lot of the aggro and hits. So my first ultimatum with the spiders was really really short! But I adapted, moved around a lot more, and beat the T7 one. I have yet to fight against a single powerful boss.

Any survival tips appreciated!



Other thoughts so far:

The golem can sometimes make it annoying to summon your spiders out of combat and once again reminds us that there still isn't a way to unsummon minions other than gem or gear swapping. Maybe in PoE 2 :P Other than that summoning the spiders gets smooth once you are used to it.

I really wish I could use Flame Dash for movement. I will swap out Convocation for it and see which of the two I can't live without. Another call to PoE 2: give us loadouts!

For anyone wanting to try this build without spending too much, get a 9 skill large cluster jewel. You lose a couple of life nodes - by the time these will make a difference you should be able to afford an 8 skill jewel.

Im using flame dash instead of shield charge and its fine. And i dropped enduring cry and put immortal call in CWDT setup.
