Wait am i supposed to be using a switch gem instead of Melee Splash vs bosses? Is added chaos good for that or added fire? (tho i might already use added fire instead of empower)

E: no wait it has to be a red gem

e2; im dumb i can just use added fire AND empower


:)

Shouldn't need to change the Melee Splash though. Unless you're doing Uber Atziri / Shaper / Guardians.

Do you still go for added chaos if you get Mon'tregul's Grasp?
Hey guys,

Let me begin with apologizing for the very late responses in all my threads, my girlfriend turned 25 so I haven't had the time!

I don't see where I am promoting the Added Chaos gem in the build :S
If it is stated in the video, remember that it is for 2.6 and is not updated yet for the 3.0 that is in this thread! Added Chaos no longer scales the damage of the poison like it used to do so due to this even if we go for United or Severed in sleep approach I would never use Added Chaos for this build :)

At what Strenghth is the baron "worth it"? I currently have 302 with the tree (lvl 80. In an earlier post you mentioned that you would only use the baron for leveling. Is this still true for this strength/life orientated build. Would you consider baron BiS for this build, even when not going for the 1000+ bonus? Is the "add strength to your minions" bonus a huge dps buff?
thanks in advance!

Baron is worth it no matter how little strength you pack tbh.
Hm.. did i say that I would only use the Baron for lvling? :O :S That's incorrect, if that's the case I apologize. The Baron helmet is BiS for this build. It is promoted as such in the guide.

The melee physical damage provided by the strength they get is insane even without 1000 strength. Only time I would consider 1k strength would be for high-end-game gearing to kill Uber Atziri & Shaper.

The build is designed before Baron or the Violent Dead jewels became available, so yeah it can work without them. Sidhebreath is only a luxury amulet in my opinion though. Also, I wouldn't use the Baron unless it was for lvling, at least not personally.


I guessed this was stated in regards to pre 3.0 or even 2.6. not the life/stregth build.

Thanks again for the build, yesterday I killed UberIzaro in like a really short time, didn´t even notice it, the zombies just slaughtered him. Other than reflect maps Zombies are very tanky, and that´s on a lvl 19 Q20 gem.
While I´m a long-time casual, I guess there are definately faster clearers and boss killers out there, still you can become quite a waltz with 5 zombs, flesh-offering, vaal-haste and a quicksilver on. Played an alched T15 yesterday, no prob.
Breaches are always difficult because of surround and I am squishy as hell, so sometimes bosses tend to lock on me and that usually means trouble or a tp (currently 5k health)
Last question: Where do you get your evangelists? Do they scale up in level if I raise them in the sceptre? At the moment I am using herectic guardians from act10.

It was probably me failing miserably going through all threads at the same time. As the guide states, Baron is BiS and should be used when ever you can get it. :)

Yeah Zombies or Skeleton builds are generally flavour builds rather than clear speed.
This build is insanely strong though!

Any spectre that is range and uses Proximity Shields are fine, I would say it's smoother to use Heretic Guardians atm as they exist in more maps in the higher tiers as well over Evangelists.

Currently playing this build on stream to tweak for a more optimal approach. This will also include a high budget version in to the guide. If possible there will be Shaper, Uber Izaro full Keys & Uber Atziri showcase footage coming up :)

I had some issues with t16 maps as well, was testing around some higher budget versions for Guardians/Shaper/Uber Atziri but that included a rather big rework on the tree as well as having United in Dream ( severed isn't enough ) in the off-hand and I felt it was a WAY to big investment for this build.

It is in first hand created as a low budget version.
