[3.8]The Baron Zombie with Vaal Pact Overleech - All Content, Uber Elder Farmer, Budget Viable

Hello, I'm fairly casual player and this is my first build thread. I didn't come up with the idea, just want to share it because I had a lot of fun with it this league.



Pros:

  • Very tanky: Overleech, Vaal Pact, 77/76/76 max resist, 6k+ life&ES
  • Able to do all end-game content, excellent Uber Elder farmer
  • Budget viable, cheap to start, no expensive multi crafted gears required
  • Fast and casual playstyle, all you need to do is shield charge
  • Can afk during blight pump defense

Cons:

  • Minions will kill themselves in physical reflect map
  • Not SSF-friendly, requires several uniques to function

GEAR
Spoiler

Core items:


Note: Do not use Soul Tether until you have 1k srength, use a rare belt with strength and life instead.

Recommended Uniques:



Weapon:


look for +1 all minion skill mod, anything else is extra

"trigger a socketed spell when you use a skill" (bench craft veiled mod) will automatically cast desecrate, spirit offering and curse with shield charge or summon skeletons, great QoL!

Rares:


Look for 40+ strength and as much life and resist as possible

Flasks:



Jewels:

change your tree accordingly


LEVELING/LEAGUE START
Spoiler

Use Summon Raging Spirit until you get Raise Zombie, then use Raise Zombie with Summon Skeletons

If you have trouble getting 1k strength or can't afford efficient training, use a rare heavy belt instead of soul tether. Zealot oath, es recharge plus spirit offering is already very tanky. 5L is more than enough to start farming Uber Elder.





Thanks for reading, feedback is welcome
