Hello Summoner friends.

As an alternative Weapon for the Budget Starter build i can recommend the Soulwrest Staff. A 5 Socket one (around 5 Chaos) is sufficient - i does not need to be linked. Just put Summon Phantasms, Faster Projectiles, Minion Damage, Controlled Destruction and Brutality in. In a 6 Socket Setup you can add Faster Casting, GMP, Feeding Frenzy or whatever else you like.
To summon the Phantasms you can use Cyclone CWC Desecrate and an Offering skill of you choice. Alternatively use the new Cluster Jewel Notable Disciple of Kitava for free and automatic Phanatasm summoning, as long as corpses are around.
I've been playing this as a hybrid version of this build since league start and sticked with it. The combinated DPS of 6-Sock Phantasms and 6-Link Zombies is even for T16s sufficient. Great Bang for the Buck ratio.

Very interesting. Wish I could've tried this before buying my Femur. Putting it into PoB with Soulwrest + Summon Phantasm/Raise Zomb/Melee Phys/Multistrike/Impale/Empower nets me a 5% gain in DPS over Femur + Raise Zomb/Melee Phys/Multistrike/Impale/Empower/Minion Damage. Plus with 21 extra minions running around. Not sure if there's a better way to build it though, or how much of a DPS gain your version is. Am curious but would take too long to figure it out.

Reached 2150+ strength....

For those looking to get more strength from talents check out my bold the new Crimson jewels are very OP. Pathing is not totally conventional. I am also level 99 but you can sacrifice life nodes and have similar gear. Don't need strength/ES Gems can do str/life which are like 1 ex.

Hi guys

I hope everyone is well as safe.

Where do you get your streght from? I'm really struggling to get close to 1000.. :s

I can't craft the staff yet. I have currency but I still have a long way to go until I unlock all the needed crafted mds.

Any ideas for the build?

PS- Also I have a Hungry loop ring that I want to use but still dont know with what. Any Ideas? I know I could go with ranged specttres but then I would lose the Baron bonus and could not raise 4 spectres..

Thank you and stay safe
Cheers

Easiest way to reach 1k early on is by getting,



The amulet just gives you a ton of stats, the belt and boots increase strength by about 30%+ combined and then get some cheap rare rings with strength. 1 Effecient Training Jewel and 2 Brawn jewels plus allocate a point into Utmost Might and you should be about 1k strength.

Actually I just checked your PoB if you just allocate Utmost Might and either replace your belt with a Cyclopean Coil with 10% increase attributes or place a gem to cover the missing 20 strength you will break 1k.

i'm stuck at T14, very difficult not to die at a map, what's your playstyle?
what buffs have you on (me flesh and stone, purity of elements and dread banner) then i'm oom. I read that i don't need a manapotion but sometimes all my zombies are killed and i can summon 2 zombies max then i'm oom, thats another problem and i feel that my zombies aren't doing to much damage, that's the biggest problem. My char is https://pastebin.com/XcJ5im2T

plz help :=)

So here are the changes I would make,

1. Get a cheap 6L Femurs
2. Remove Melee Splash take Melee Physical Damage and Minion Speed/Power depending what you prefer.

Just doing these 2 things will double your zombie damage. I am surprised you can even do T14 with the paltry damage your zombies are currently outputting. xD

3. Replace the northern Efficient Training jewel for a Thread of Hope with medium range and then allocate Cruel Preparation and Ravenous Horde. This now frees up 13 skill points since you don't need to path right anymore.
4. Maintain your 1000 strength, I recommend a better ring than the ones you are carrying with at least 40+ strength per ring. Fit in a Brawn jewel to help shore up the lacking strength.
5. Invest your freed up points in a large cluster jewel if you want a decent one get one with 2 Sockets/1 Socket (if you can't afford it), 2 notables, Renewal and Rotten Claw or craft one yourself. The base for a 2 Socket one will cost you about 50C.
6. 6 Socket your Geofri's so you can fit in Enlighten, you need Enlighten in order to be able to run all 4 auras, discipline, purity of elements, flesh and stone and dread banner. You will probably also need to put points into the aura wheel for the reduced mana reservation.
7. Get a granite flask so you can combo it with molten shell for a much bigger shield.
8. Get your last 2 Ascendency Points.

This should help you a lot because now your zombies will be doing more damage and you should be taking less damage because things stay alive a lot less longer. :P

I really need some help around raising spectres when they are socketed in hungry loop (ring) that has spell echo...

It always raises double minion and i cant get same 4 spectres... getttting crazyyy :D haaaLp!

I just switched my gear around to balance speed/tankiness to delete all the bosses. I did deathless A8 Sirus/UE/UA/20 simulacrum wave with 2 bosses in one wave (finally got the challenge)/100% delirium juiced up t16 map (this is hardest of them all).

Sitting on 900k dps/zombie with 13 zombies and 8k ehp with saqawal's nest. I'm running 5 auras; pride, flesh/stone, purity of elements, avian, and dread banner.

I'm saving up for awakened multistrike that would give me 50k more dps/zombie.

Build Showcase-Tanky setup-Deathless run

I made a relatively quick video doing back to back Shaper-Elder-Uber Elder-Sirius 8 - 20 simulacrum waves in one deathless run (Simulacrum league). This to show what you can achieve with high budget tanky setup of this build. Enjoy!
0:00 Shaper (Here I tanked on purpose Shaper teleport slam to show how tanky this build can be)
4:56 Elder
7:14 Uber Elder
10:17 Sirius 8
14:16 20 Simulacrum Waves

Hi Guys,

Use Raise Zombie or something on unwanted corpses first to get rid of them. Pretty sure it's in the FAQ
