this build looks really cool, just not entirely sure what some of it means, i looked all over the post for the "mace" they suggest but i have no earthly clue what it is. currently running a phys skellies build and its just not getting the job done, was thinking of switching over to this but wanted to get all the gear i'd need first.
Edit: nevermind i found it, looks hard af to do, just hope i have the crafting mods it needs.
Zombies don't care about any damage at all in the awakener fight, assuming you're using Cast While Channeling + Spirit Offering and have a decent leveled Zombie gem.
I wonder do you think it is worth it to replace alberons with 10% str 55str (and if I can get it) 30% MS?
As previously said it depends on your other sources of scaling STR (Amulet, Belt, Lethal Pride, Brawn). Generally I'd say they need all three of the above and then some, be it life or a resist you're missing. The chaos resist from Alberons cannot be ignored this league. Ideally you'd want an open suffix to craft chaos resist.
anyway how are you guys rolling your ammys? I got elder/warlord ammy and it seems like t1 str% comes up once every 1000 alts and +1 zombies isn't much better. I tried using annul's when I got one of the two, because it usually meant I got an extra 2-3 trys to roll the other mod but it's still very rare. How are you guys doing it?
Alt spamming for those two affixes is certainly tedious. I'm guessing most people either:
-Get an Elder amulet with +1 Zombie as only Elder mod and a Warlord amulet with %STR as only Warlord mod, and then combine them using Awakener's Orb. There are several videos on YouTube detailing the procedure.
-Get a amulet with +1 Zombie delve (non-influenced) mod, other desirable mods, and then yolo slam a suffix with Warlord's Exalted Orb. Only like 15% chance to get T1 %STR though.
So far i am 11k alterations into getting the 2 mods on a magic with no luck.. :(
Bow is a bit worse than the maim weapons, but I didn't play necro then and didn't know it would go legacy, so I chose to go with a bow for a number of reasons. One of them being the implicit from Synthesis league and the option to use Scourge Arrow to make the zombies go to different places so I can stay behind. The quiver is a bonus.
Not having much to go on other than poe.ninja builds that use bows, I had to make it up as I went along and obviously I made some mistakes while following guides (like using F&S even tho the zombies are always out of the range for it).
If you are interested in the bow you can PM me ingame and we'll talk about it more. @Nio will work.
Hmm, I hadn't realized at the time the bow was legacy. That puts a bit of a damper on it since I have a legacy Maim weapon. I'm playing standard this league because I have no desire to care about new gear, only theorycrafting in case zombies survive 3.10. This is a "bow" league and the top bow skill on poe.ninja looks to be Barrage at 3%. GGG really screwed up partnering bows with bosses. Zombies and skellies with both most likely take another hard hit in 3.10. :(
Don't say such things we worked so hard to make them broken again D:
