3.9| Stress-Free PoE - SLOW-MO ZOMBIES |SSF the Atlas w/ 1 Button & Any Gear|Dungeon Crawl PoE!

Correct, super speedy necro doesn't sound as cool as slomo zombies!
With this setup the enemies will be living in the past and even if they do hit you, it will be greatly reduced damage.

It is amazing to see them all moving so slow, makes the zombies look even faster!

As I become more relaxed in my old age, as I look for ways to live a more stress free life (including the way I approach games), this build looks very promising when it comes to my style. I will begin 3.9 with this zombie guide. Once I'm established in the league I'll also check out your other guides for other characters I may build. Thanks for the effort you've put into this!

3.8 SLO-MO player. This build will still rock in 3.9.
I did not play SSF but I did clear everything with this build concept.
It's nice and relaxed. Just stroll through maps.
Doing this again in 3.9.

Zombie on!

Great stuff as per normal Wrecker.

I'm going to try ARC instead of Ball Lighting since its arc jump range got buffed and I like the blazing fast visual effect a lot more.

I always found BL to slow and visually meh but it worked.

Arc mana cost is dirt cheap too up to lvl 20 and that means lots of forks, looking forward to the light show so I don't lose out not having pierce like BL.

Have a great League and thanks for the update on the guide.

Edit; I would love a flame dash for this build for gaps and fences but I don't think I could fit it in unless I dropped Enhance as I never get it to level 2 anyways!

This build is as close to perfect as they come, however I did alter it to MY play style AFTER playing into maps in the original configuration.
It became apparent that I as a player need a movement skill because I put myself in bad situations OFTEN!
You bring up points that we struggled with last league, may as well start talking about it. Not that the build was failing, it just got kind of boring never getting hit! LOL
I will say what I did, there were MANY other variants, ALL successful.
With this build you can charge in and lead the pack, monsters are soooo slow you will barely proc CWDT in the beginning.
OR I chose to remove the second CWDT, apply EE with Arc instead of ball lightning and use Flame dash instead of CWDT. That way I had an added bonus of catching monsters I missed with arc with flame dash. They both curse on hit.
I also swapped enhance for raise specter and used carnage and host apes to get power and frenzy charges on my zombies.
Arc will definitely shine now, it was great last league!
Zombies owned all in a 4 link so adding minion life shouldn't take away anything. And don't chase specters, you DO NOT NEED 4, 3 are very nice supports to the zombies.
Spreading EE with fire does nerf the skeletons, so flame dash is emergency use only or great for gap crossing :)

Alright, I'll say it... ZOMBIE ON!

EDIT: I also prefer Spirit offering for the raised energy shield for minions and added chaos damage, it is noticeable late game. Actually with the life nerfs, it may actually be needed. I can say I only lost zombies to hall of grandmasters... f that place! Uber Elder, I lost 1 specter in my 5 deaths but I got him! I will plug withering step swap for phase run, but I just prefer it now that I play on the Assassin/Ranger side of the tree.

Nice job on first ;).

EDIT: I think you nailed the title.

Thanks! It's the one thing I am always reconsidering.

To the interested beginners, THIS IS YOUR BUILD!

If you want to learn complex interactions made EASY by not having to chase gear, START HERE!

Wrecker knocks it out of the park with this EASY and Stress free build!

It sits right with Enki's Arc Witch (Oh she is definitely back too) as far as ease of use and fun!

Thank you very much. I really appreciate your kindness.

I hope you enjoy the new zombies!

The nerfs won't stop us - Zombie on!

I love your guides so much, Wrecker_of_Days, maybe my new signature helps more people to find them. Thank you very much for all your effort!

Hey Caligula_Exile!

That's very kind of you! You're very kind. Your cheque is in the mail ;). I really appreciate your encouragement and kind words, as always. Thank you.

Zombie on.

So some changes to the way Zombies work.

But I do not think it is going to effect the build that much.

Arc with the increased range is nice and should be your go to proc EE.

Specters gem to be lvl 25 to get the last one is a let down.
So it is going to take a little bit to get it.
But still I think it will be fine.

SRS going to where you point the cursor is interesting. (How does that work on console when we have no cursor)

This will still be my starting build for the league.
Looking forward to this new league.

I have the Friday and all weekend to play on PC.
And then on Monday and Tuesday I will play on Xbox.


Zombie on!

Hey x Peleus x! I hope you like it! It's always nice to hear your modifications! I hope it's a stable league release for you and those that took the weekend off for the release. Your Arc has a bigger range now!

Gonna try it again bcoz I love this style "just running around and let zombies eat everything". There is no changes in your build, that's fine.

Wanna also try some bow build (saw you got something) but I don't really know how play bowmaster. I think it's too much clicking and trying not to die.

So see you in Friday again!

Hey stahs22!

I hope you enjoy it! I'll be doing levelling this build in league this league to see how the "new zombies" level. But I'll be levelling the bow build you referenced first as the Ballista Support changes the playstyle lots. It'll make aiming with your mouse irrelevant. The Ballista's will always drop around your character so it'll be VERY close to the Cursing CI build I have, just move and click (without aiming).

I did make one change to this build though, I removed Commander of Darkness and replaced it with Mistress of Sacrifice.

Let me know how things go!
