Hello!

One thing is bugging me. You said that Midnight Bargain is a core of this build but you didn't specify WHY. Is is because of +1 zombies/spectres?. Is it because of 30% life reservation to achieve low life condition?. Any other reason?.

I mean, I was wondering if it would be possible to tweak your idea a little bit and drop Midnight but to take Vis Mortis instead. Then do a little swapparoo magic with auras and Prism Guardian and utilize newly added 30% life reservation from dropped Midnight to grab another aura for even more aura/commander of darkness benefits. I'm speaking of life/es budget hybrid since I'm prolly never gonna get my hands on shavs ;P

Any major downsights of my idea that I'm missing?. I'd love to hear your opinion on that.

Thanks for your guide!.

It is because the +1 spectre and zombie, AND the up to 30% minion damage and minion speed it grants. Without midnight bargain, you will not be able to take off bones of ullr for other boots like sevenleague steps that allow lab running (in std), other high ms boots for the same goal, or wondertraps/goldwyrm for magic finding. Without midnight bargain you would also not be able to do uber or t15 maps.

If you want to take vis mortis, I'd advice against that, as you cannot go hybrid with that chest unless you also drop prism guardian, because it doesn't offer any life or resistances. Also, if you want to use vis mortis, I'd just recommend keeping midnight bargain anyways, as it's dmg is really noticable, and you could just work around by dropping bones of ullr and run life + es ms boots. Like, honestly that would be better :P

gotta keep in mind ur spectres are the core of your clearspeed there.

To be perfectly honest if you're gonna go the hybrid route I like Queen's Escape alot more. You can't really use Prism guardian as a hybrid and the other two options is a big es/life shield aka pure defensive or Victario's Charity with Necromantic Aegis. And while Charity+Aegis combo is pretty good is multiple respects, If you're looking for general clear, you're hard pressed to find things faster than specters on speed.
If you want to do core/uberziri/uberlab you'd probably want the Lowlife Auramancer or a charity variant, but for general map clear, Queen's Escape is hands down the best, since you're pretty much overkilling in maps.

Prism guardian is perfectly viable as hybrid. You can just get chaos res and not have to worry usually, as long as you have about 1.2-1.5k life unreserved with 75% chaos res. Queen's escape is new and interesting. Haven't looked into that yet, the speed might be good.

Well if you ignore your elemental resist requirements with Purity and Commander of Darkness, you're still struggling to find decent life+es if you're looking for chaos res as well.

In a scenario it which you have good chaos res gear with some life and decent es, sure non Shavs lowlife is entirely possible. But at that point you could probably invest in the shavs, unless you're pretty lucky with drops for your chaos gear.

I just think it definitely won't be comfortable to play or build without a decent baseline of gear. Once you have the setup going, knock yourself out.

Without going into too much detail, I briefly scanned threw the last couple comments. I've ran many summoners before, and used your skill tree as a template for this one. I'm lvl 88 as of tonight, and I'm easily running low life NONE shavronnes with 6k es and have no problem running any maps.

The thing that brought me back to this thread was to research why the "better gear" in the guide was shavronnes. I hardly see how it's better. I'm looking at the item now and IMO I hardly see how it would be an upgrade to my 700+ es body armor. With my max chaos resist and life regen (yes max chaos res was easy to obtain like others have said, cheap), I stand in desecrated ground and my life doesn't even move... And as far as bosses that chaos dmg like the one shot devourer, they never get remotely close enough to get threw my proxys so I'm always safe.

Thanks for taking the time to make this guide as it served as a great reference for my summoner this season. I do have a question about using poison over conc effect on evangelist with 10 zombies already poisoning but ill save that for another post since I'm too tired right now to elaborate on that.

Side note: I was cleaning my friends list tonight and see a leary93 on there that hasn't been on in forever. Same fella?
