Alright forget Animate weapons lol. Its too annoying to constantly look for weapons to summon.

I currently doing

Raise zombie + Summon Skeletons + Mstrike + faster atk + meleesplash + lifeleach or meleephy

This is providing some extra dps and much needed distractions.

Passive tree is the same, at level 91 i am going to grab that 3% minion leach node so every minion can last a bit longer.

So far this build is really solid, you have 3 resummonable minions, 1 that needs a corpse. lots of tanky front line distraction for you to safely sit back and summon.

So do you not use spectres at all then? Just zombies, skeletons, SRS, and auras?

Yep. No more spectres.

Is there any option that doesn't require SRS or spectres? Thank you.

So you just want to only utilize zombies and skeletons? I guess u can 5L skele + zombie in the same chest, go 1h + shield. arc + elepro + echo + ElementalEquil for shocking.

Not sure why u want to do this thou. SRS is simply amazing and can carry you through every encounter.

I have too some reservations against SRS, it just feels too much like regular spellcasting. Animate weapon at least has somewhat longish duration and actually feels like a summon and not some dragonball-esque energy ball (exaggerating obviously, lol).

Will probably try them out though since I do have quality semi-lvled gems somewhere.

That's what the increased duration nodes are for. It sounds like you haven't even played the build. When your fight against atziri is "summon these things while her reinstatement animation is playing, then run the fuck away", you're a summoner.

I mean, you can also argue that it's like laying animated traps, but regardless it's not "regular spellcasting"

well fellow summoners, allow me to guive my feedback, i've been playing with only zombies so far (dont like srs, and to add another minion i wil first try to grab a pair of unset rings wich will provide me another 4 link, yes i have 1 unesed socket).

currentlly i am using a 5L lightning coil as i was forced to use minion dmg instead of added phys on my CoD.

i am supporting my zombies with haste, hatred + generosity on my alphas howl (aura efectivness is currently on 88% on those 2) purity of elements (need it myself to cap my resistances, zombies are capped with motegrull, yes im playing around wit 4 zombies only) and PoL for obvious reasons. once i sort my resistances with gear (i wanna cap them withou losing my chaos res wich is at +30% right now) i'll drop purity of elements and add vitality most likely.

anyways, althou i have a better clear speed with 8 zombies, with the recent changes to end game map dificulty they seem be alot more squishier than before (normal zombies having the same if not more hp than before the patch, using snapshot), on a blue strand map without dmg increase mods, with the porcupine mobs (the ones from imperial gardens) they weree losing too much hp. on a dual boss colonade they kept dying on the bosses, till i finally died myself as i had to stop to resumonon them. tried out motegrull's they were fine, i was fine. did some maze maps and they even survived vaal smashes, got rlly low thou, a sure 1 shot for normal zombies, vaal followed with the laser beams so i was glad they were alive if not i would've lose all of them before it was safe to resumon, with 5k hp i can only tank 2 lasers. have yet to try out higher maps.

Hmm mulling over my tree again. Why does nothing ever seem perfect to me lol.

I noticed by forcing myself to use double 60% auras, I need to travel 10 out of the way pts just to get more aura reservation.

With this tree I have 10 more pts to play around with.

I can reserve 1 60% and 2 40%. Haste, vitality, purity (reserves 80%) which leaves 20% left over to do clarity and MoM buffer. I can grab more minion stats(+1 zombie) and actually have my zombies tank for a while before having to resummon them. Which is quite nice against bosses.

DO you really think CoD is worth it ? I mean you need to have AT LEAST 1000 mana left over for it to be work properly which means you're giving up on 2 more auras you could use with generosity for tons of dmg.

Why don't you take whisper of doom ? For 4 passive points you could use enfeeble for a net 33% dmg reduction.

Not sure. Am up for trying anything new just to experiment. I was thinking either belly of the beast or lightning coil as alternatives.

I don't really need anymore dps aside from haste. SRS + zombies 6Linked does some serious work even in 78 maps especially when u trigger the vaal haste + flesh offering combo.

I guess removing pts from that 10 pt aura cluster and removing 4 pts from MoM will net me. 14 pts to put into life. I guess 1k-1.5k more life is just as tanky as having MoM =?
