Viable for easier content like <70. I would be too scared to go up and smack mobs in harder maps especially with difficult mobs and map rolls.

also new summoner build all u need are 5 of these and keep spammming lol!

I haven't had the best luck crafting those, only got two so far, so I'm running them + granite + quicksilver.

Just curious though, I did manage to roll a couple of sapping flasks of animation, whats your opinion on them? Seems like drinking a charge from one of them + spamming seething might be slightly more efficient at healing your army? The 10% mana penalty doesn't bother me as I pretty much instantly regen it as soon as I flask.

Hello this is an amazing guide but i have a doubt, i just finished the sever the right hand and now maramoa is offering me some support gems, which one should i pick? btw i already got 1 minion dmg.

Flasks don't stack if it regens this is why instant is so op. You can use them all at once.

Ah, didnt know instants + non instants couldn't stack, guess I need to get a few 100 more alts and try rolling some more flasks.

Edit: Nevermind, sapping does stack with seething. Guess I need to roll some seethings anyways since Sapping is only about 115 HP a sec for 8 secs assuming 50% animation, whereas seething is 196 instantly with 50% :S

you just can't stack 2 sappings together.

remember u grabbed the 30% increased flask effect if u went my build. So its more life than that.

I have a tabula rasa at hand for this build. But not much else. What would you recommend me using it for? and please name all the gems to put in it if you have time. Kinda new, so nothing is really a given for me yet :).

Thanks in advance yet again :)

Heh yes, but following my minions around and doing nothing but summoning/cursing is making me feel a little bit like:

I have been using dom blow for quite a while. I would say this is very gear dependant, in terms of both weapon and defensive gears.

My 5L is dom blow+multistrike+faster attack+melee splash+increased duration. Each hit cost 22x mana. Without soul taker or very high mana regen dom blow would not be efficient.

What defensive gear are you using, and are you basing your build around it or using it as a supplement to zombies/specters?

I was planning on 4 linking it with splash, duration, and faster attacks to keep the cost down. Multi-strike is great for the minions, but not as important for spawning them in the first place since my personal damage doesn't really matter. Soul Taker is a good idea though.

all the different gem slotting combos are provided in the guide under the skill/setup section.

I really need to get my hands on tabula rasa... Really wanted to try out a weird spectre, but just aren't able to get everything out of them, since I do not have green gem slots in my 5L (and no 6Ls). Noticed that those giant skeletons pack quite a punch (white one on 67 map has got me to half of my 2k health with 1 hit and I have 10k armor now), but have the same problem as the giant statues - take ages to hit stuff. So multistrike+faster attacks is a must.

Obviously, they aren't for range spectre or BM specs. But what if 2 of them + frenzy ape + zombies + skellies + damage aura or two?

Hi.

Im lvl 72 at nemesis right now. Im doing Lunaris runs and finishing with Piety.
I need to ask something. Either im doing something VERY wrong or its supposed to be like this.

Why the F, is the dmg to your minions so random?

I did 2-4 runs, killed piety without loosing a singel minion and she died in like 20 sec or something.
Next run after that. She insta killed them all with the storm.
Same run, I ressed them all again. She insta killed them all in frost form.
Same run, I ressed them all again. She instal killed 3 in fire form, then killed the rest with lightning ball.

So I just left her, could not for the life of me kill her. She just insta killed them within seconds of entering her room.

The next run I started. Same as the first 2-4. very smooth.

So I restarted one more run. The run to piety is super easy and fast.
I enter the room.
Ball of lightning ALL minions down to 10% or less health.
Frost form, 1 shoot all die.

Tried again. Same thing.

Now im here. Whining

I get that you cannot allways pwn and that dmg is random. But this is TO random. You have no way to know if a singel melee hit will do 1 dmg, miss, or insta kill.

So. She did all this shit the first 2 runs aswell, but it barly touched the minions.

It feels the same when you fight like the big guy on lvl 2. Sometimes all survive and take like 0 dmg OR they all die within seconds.

Im running all the +health to minions.
Im running _4_ auras. Grace, Purity, Diciplin and Clarity.
Im running with Rejuv totem(instead of vitality)
Im running 2 curses, enfeeble and warlords mark.
Im running diciplin due to me being CI, thats why im not running vitality

So. Why is the dmg directed towards your minions so extremly random?



Second thing.

Is there an AI improvement planed for the minions?
Where is the logic that minions you summon to serve you, refuse to attack monsters if you are not up their ass aswell? Shouldent they want to proctect their master? They can stand attacking something, if I take _1_ step to far away, they leave that mob and run towards me. Like fucking idiots.

And I see atleast a few times a run. All the minions just standing around a mob and 1 minion hitting. THe rest just standing around doing NOTHING.

So. Am I doing it wrong or are they just very very stupid?

Sorry, this was a lot more whiny then I wanted it to be.
But its freakin annoying. SInce I rly like this build and its fun to play.
But with the stupidness and unlogicness and randomness of the minions. It feels like "meh"
