3.14 KING OF ALL SUMMONERS. Zombies & Skeletons & Spectres on STEROIDS! | League-Start to End-Game
|
I play this build in HC Metamorph league, currently lvl 44 at the start of ACT 5. Everything sofar was very easy: Domi, Piety and Mala very fast and very safe.
I play with 8 zombies, 3 ranged spectres, golem, relic and vaal skelies for bosses. Bought Queens Decree for 1c, Wraithlord for 1c and I got Bones of Ullr from a drop. My biggest problem currently is the price for a good Astramentis, which is at 80c right now and Baron which is at 30c. Next major hurdle will be Avarius/Innocence, I ripped many times in the past there. Fingers crossed. | |

We are STILL the King of All Summoners.
We are STILL the fastest summoner in POE We are STILL the strongest summoner in POE. We are STILL the tankiest summoner in POE. T16 Carcass clear and back to our original speed belt and boots... god damn I love these items!!: https://youtu.be/r0mQV-d5qr0 I am waiting to see what crafting options are available before I create end-game weapon. I'll let other people use their currency first :P | |

" Great run! | |
" this is NOT the best summoner leveling in POE though.. I never struggled so much with leveling a summoner, following your guide to the letter. My league starter this league was Viperesque's Skeleton build, and it was super smooth, but when I got to maps I started disliking the constant re-summoning. So I bought the recommended leveling uniques (something I did not have leveling my league starter) and proceeded to follow your guide. I was expecting to not dying, amazing dps and general bad-assery as surely this guide must be better than the other (OP has clearly said such publicly on the front page) and I even had leveling uniques. Boy, was I wrong. Worst experience leveling in a long time. I even skipped the Metamorphs this time around. I'd recommend getting QoL and damage upgrades from the tree FAR FAR earlier than the leveling guide suggests. Going for only life nodes the first 40+ levels is not the way. Also... disregard the options with 2 attack settings (SRS and Skeletons), not even sure why there are 2? Imho start SRS and skip to skeleton when you have the gems and link for a 4L with feeding frenzy and a couple of the others. Also run zombies in 4L with meatshield. Add the rest of the options as you go. Last edited by LUXEdeJUNK on Dec 16, 2019, 8:04:13 AM

" As astramentis now starts at 75c+ my solution was to search for an amulet with 90+ str You might get lucky for 10-15c(and you might be able to craft +str&dex) Can't complaint (10c before crafting) |

So i decided to go with this build. Currently I'm about level 66, act 8.
I mostly followed the general build suggestions, but I've been pushing through the story quickly so I only stopped to update gems and equipment a few times. still running a 4 link chest and dual wands (One of them is the unique wand suggested so im running at 30% life reserved), another change im running with until i can upgrade my chest and weapon to a 5/6 link is that im running skitterbots, but mostly just cause i can. Recently got a baron going, my str right now is about 500. I agree with one thing the above poster said...get the minion damage nodes first. (Lord of the dead, grave intentions, grave pact, rightous army, redemption. After that try to get a baron and then grab the biggest str nodes, then the elemental resistances + life.) however i disagree with the above poster that this is not a good leveling build. I'm running with my zombies and skeletons (Bought a vaal summon skeleton as soon as i could) both with feeding frenzy. your characters job is to stay alive, so focus on hiding and dodging and your going to be okay. the only times i died was usually due to poison or bleeding (Remember im running 30% life reserved right now). I don't yet feel very 'tanky' but my gear has a long way to go. I have almost no STR gear other than whats on the uniques i have. While its true the zombies took a hit with the movement speed nerfs, by the time you get the above damage nodes, and use minion speed in the meantime, they still can keep up Damage-wise they are doing fine so far. I realize im not even to maps yet, but the amount of potential i still have to get with gear upgrades is high. | |

For me, going through the campaign was very easy. At first, zombies were dying a lot, because they don't have enough life yet and they're always behind.
First thing I'd recommend is to pick up the Lord of the Dead, then Sacrifice and the health leech node next to it. Then you go for the Ravenous Horde, to get some more attack speed (and more leech) and finally go for Grave Pact. This way, your zombies should have a nice sustain. Use skeletons (4L) for extra DPS, just keep resummoning them, they're disposable :) Getting these nodes should be pretty quick, if you also do all the side quests. I did not bother with the strength related nodes, since I don't have the Baron helmet yet. With all those passives + the first ascendancy, my zombies were stomping everything, even bosses. Bosses usually died in about 5-10 seconds, including the Metamorph creations (even when using the "richest" organs). I would also recommend running Discipline as soon as possible to get some extra toughness. I am mapping right now (about T3) and not even using Raise Spectre yet (don't have Vaal Skeletons either). Only recently I managed to acquire Tabula Rasa, so I was running my zombies on 4L. | |

So this must be my league to be a summoner. Having some insane luck this league so far.
Last night while saving for a Queen's Escape I found a Vaal Summon Skeletons 21/23% thanks to metamorph league. I'm not running Skells as my main so I decided to sell it to reinvest in the build. Right after I just happened to roll a Misunderstood Queen prophecy. I bought a high roll Queen's Decree and just so happen to somehow 6 socket and 6 link it (in 2 fuse!!!) - proceeded the upgrade and now I got my sword. Just insane luck. I also found my own Baron on day 2. Blessed for sure. Im running a slightly different build at the moment but currently kicking ass in t5/6 maps. Thanks for the guide! | |
