So your asking Matt if his guide is as good as someone else's guide, and expect an answer? What kind of question is that even?

Anyways, Rathik seems to skimp a bit on auras, and I'm a fan of running 7~10 Auras. Granted, my build isn't exactly like either one, but I will say Matt's is more up to date. I didn't even see any mention of CoD zombies in his guide (but then again I was skimming for that info).


There are many good builds out there, including the 2 mentioned
But what I like most of this thread is the forward thinking mood
My build is not even close to Matt's, but I have improved a lot just by reading some key messages from this conversation
Keep it coming guys! Our mission as players is to break the game :)


Agreed. :)

I see this guide like a stepping stone for your own build.

I'm not as Aura intensive (though still invested enough to have 5 + AA up) and less invested in curses, having 2 instead of 3 or 4.

Love this guide, it's helping me think about the best way to build my own army. Best part is, it costs very little!

I was hoping this would be more of a stepping-stone styled build. It gives ideas but you can spin your own version of the summoner. The more we try things and report back the more we can make our own styles better.

He's 5-6L snapshotting his Zombies. There's a more in depth explanation a few pages back.

And what level are you?

We're pretty weak until 35-45. The reason is because of how low-level your Zombie gem is. Higher levels give a TON of HP. We don't start kicking ass until our 60s if you're not well-funded. Skeletons are great early on. Try attaching them to a Spell Totem for those early levels.

Hey. This build discussion has been really helpful, here's some notes I put together for a hc-viable Scion summoner starting from scratch.
Passive
30 Points
Assuming you're starting with very little, or nothing, you'll run an ST build for a while. It's easy to gear, not skill gem demanding (so you can take summoner gems from quests) and following the summoner passive tree scaffold you can get easy dps from auras and start quite tanky, especially with lmp and life gain on hit. So, Starting from melee phys dmg pick up ele res, IR and some HP before heading up to the first set of Aura nodes. Get the +30 attribute nodes for gear reqs.

60 Points
Now a good deal through Cruel you proceed to pick up more Aura and HP nodes, respec the +30 int to get Hex Master. Now you can run Hatred/Grace, Clarity and Purity/Vitality. Depending on your gear your dps should be more than acceptable with Hatred but you'll lack some HP other ST builds may have so be sure to run appropriate Purity's for each area and Grace in place of Hatred if you need. Focus on defensive stats on gear because clearing Cruel is going to be hard.

90 Points
Assuming you're about lv60 entering merc everything up to Fellshrine should be easy. Pick up the last Aura nodes, EB and Mana Geyser, if you have the 2 Reduced Mana's from quests you can soon run Discipline, Hatred/Grace, Clarity, Purity and Vitality together. With 50%< mana regen and enough mana/ES from gear you may also be able to use Arctic Armor.
Lastly you can begin to pick up minion nodes, starting with +spectre. I feel if you can make a dash to lv2 Lunaris, a 2nd BM with the right links will help grinding the rest of the lvls for minion nodes much easier than extra zombies. You can also replace your ST gear with caster gear and Bones of Ullr for a 3rd spectre like an arcmage.

99 Points
Now lv79 with Purity of elements and enough ele res on gear the ele resist nodes become irrelevant, move down and past EE to connect to the 40% mana regen at the start of the Scion tree. Respec the ele resist, Sentinel and Mana Geyser nodes and put those on more zombies and EE. You should have 6 Zombies without Bones of Ullr, all 5 Auras and Arctic Armor now.

110 Points
Get more life, Sentinel (again) and more mana. Not much left to do here other than more life, you should be prepared for most of the game's content by now.


Currently I'm lvl 78 with this gear:
Gear


I'm wondering why Windscream might be preferable over Doedre's Damning and some normal +life boots as I have.
Also, as I have about 195/s mana regen without Discipline I can still run Arctic Armor easily, do you think it would be a good idea to drop Discipline to run Grace with Hatred, Clarity, Vitality and Purity of Elements? (160~mana remaining). Not sure how ES vs Armour on minions compares.

I would put together my own topic but this is so inspired by your build it didn't seem worth it.

I suppose I could try that. A good triple res/chaos boot with high str and hp.

I guess its because rings could roll some really good stats on them my ultimate goal being 2x
mana + mana regen + str + hp + chaos + resist.

If you think u have enough mana left over and have good regen I would drop discipline for hatred.

Guide cleanup, took out most of the fluff and left only the core stuff u need

I'm clearly going blind, what am I missing to get 8 zombies? I've only got 6 presently, and I'm about to start gearing up / buying unique items to make this build shine. I'm lvl 69 currently... I'm still also only able to summon 1 specter... Missing something indeed...

Any help is appreciated.

"Minion's hits do not count as yours so do not proc EE."

is it viable with BMs?

That's the main reason for using EE, you can use lightning/cold damage to give everything -50% fire resist, which your BM's/Zombies can benefit from without resetting EE.
