So you call the build simple and easy but in order to do maps you need a lvl 20 gem. Seems a little insane that we gotta do none maps until our gem is lvl 20 to actually have a chance.

Don't think every new player can easily find a lvl 20 gem... Those i looked at costs about 1 exalted and that seems rather steep.

Important about zombies, read second.
If your raise zombie gem is not level 20 DO NOT COMPLAIN about it.

So, are your zombies lvl20?
edit: and skeletons are not supposed to live forever anyway.

my RZ is lvl 18 and im doing 70+ maps just fine. the trick is to know when to disengage and fall back to another room for resummoning. by the point you are doing maps, you should have seen every enemy an the game at least once and know which ones will wreck your party of minions so scout a map with desecration and be ready for what may be waiting for you.

be smart and use your kit to your full advantage:
.) use arc and curses to guide your minions and attack the right target
.) auras help not only yourself but your zombies too, so use them
.) stop using item rarity for now and try life leech
.) use minion life gem until your zombies are tankier
.) get a +2 minion lvl helmet and put your zombies in
.) get a supporting spectre like undying evangelists
.) use the 2 offerings (bone for tanking, flesh for dps and life leech)
.) use convocation to retreat and resummon from desecration
.) a rejuv totem can heal your summons too

there are enough possibilities to make your minions last, but its exactly as rathik writes: lvls on your RZ gem are the most important thing. the last few lvls give zombies more than 1k hp per lvl which makes a huge difference.

lvl 20 isn't absolutely needed if you know what you are doing, but it helps tremendously.

Hey Rathik!
Is it possible to swap out a wand for an ephemeral edge to get 50% more ES?
