Spectres couldn't survive :(
They don't have enough resist. So, Need Necromatic Aegis if you want to save them.
Well, though sometimes all right when I can freeze her quickly.


I'll take request if you want to watch another map video.
But less than Lv72 only. Sorry.



Pros and Cons

Pros

- Good survivability
- Easy to earn MF
- Able to run many Map mods
- Don't require high spec PC
- Don't require high end uniques(eg. Shav's,Kaom's,Soul Taker)


Cons
- Need 3-5min to starting game. It's messy.
- Need high level zombie gem.
- Need 6L(Tabula Rasa or The Bringer of Rain)
- Maybe it will be nerfed.
- Vulnerable to disconnect :(

Breath of Rime is not so popular but I think it's very useful. Especially for my build.

Of cource you should change if you found better one or thought you would not need some nodes(eg. Deep Thoughts)
Leave comment if you have some ideas.


Bandit Rewards
Normal - Help Oak(Recommended) or kill all
Cruel - kill all
Merciless - kill all



Gems(very important things here)

Chest 6L + 5L
Raise Zombie - Remote Mine - Melee Physical Damage - Faster Attacks - Melee Splash - Multi Strike

Raise Spectre - Increased Burning Damage - Increased AoE - Minion Resist - Minion Life

How to use 6L + 5L? Watch this video.


Minion Damage Gem is bad for summoner. This is the calculations.

If Zombie's damage is 100 physical damage(including Lv20 Zombie gem bonus).

Using Minion Damage
100 + 135(passives) + 115(unique sceptre and amu) + 92(minion damage) = 442

Using Remote Mine
(100 + 135 + 115) * 1.59 = 556.5

Using Melee Physical Damage
(100 + 135 + 115 + 10(gem quality)) * 1.49 = 536.4

Total damage with perfect settings and curse and aura
(100 + 135 + 115 + 67 + 57 + 10) * 1.59 * 1.49 * 0.84 * 0.64 * 1.54 * 2.07 = 1965
1965 * 1.44 + 1965 * 0.25 = 2830%physical + 491%cold damage

It's 3300% damage compared with no passives and link.


4L Cold Snap - Elemental Proliferation - Cold Penetration - Increased AoE
4L Reduced Mana - Vitality - Purity - Hatred
4L Faster Casting - Temporal Chains - Vulnerability - Enfeeble
*You can also choose Elemental Weakness or Frostbite instead of Enfeeble

3L(Prism Guardian) Reduced Mana - Discipline - Clarity
3L(+2 or +3 cold skill weapon) Freeze Mine - Cold Penetration - Empower or Elemental Proliferation

There is free 4L(in Chest). I'm using it for gem leveling.
But you can add skills(eg. MF culling, skelton totem, shock nova) if you want to use.


Priority of Gems quality
1.Raise Zombie
2.Remote Mine,Faster Attacks,Melee Splash and Curse
3.Increased AoE and Minion Resist
4.other gems



Leveling tips



1. Buy The Searing Touch(around 2-3 chaos).
2. Make 3L or 4L
3. Use Fire Trap - Elemental Proliferation - Chance to Ignite


Fire Trap + Searing Touch is quite powerful.
Throw Fire Trap and curse Flammability and Elemental Weakness.
You will able to kill one screen of enemies with only one Fire Trap :)

Passives




Gem swap trick. Socket ID and Link ID



Game server checking only Socket ID and Link ID.
You must set gems to same Socket ID and same Link ID when use Gem Swap Trick.



My Gears

Main Gears and MF Gears



My belt(Pain Bind) is pretty nice :)


Summoning Gears


I need Str and Dex without Atzili's Foible

Very good writeup and very interesting videos, thank you!
IGN Iiyoru (Ambush League)
I would recommend switching remote mine out for a 20% quality added fire. I don't recommend remote mine mainly because in higher map difficulty you'll need to constantly re-summon zombies vs bosses with high damage. Which is kinda annoying if your constantly switching your tabula rasa than going back to town. (especially bad when there is a limited amount of portal space). I recommend going warlords mark or putting lifeleach on your zombies so u can have more consistency against content that can kill your zombie easily.

Like Amiag said don't create a build around exploits, rather your base build should work without them but exploits just give an added benefit.

Exploits? Like what?

Clever uses of game mechanics, perhaps...
Clever uses of (unintentional) game mechanics.

Mark mentioned that like auras, the gem switching with minion gems shouldn't be happening.

Until they fix it, exploit away. Your not going to get banned for it or anything, abuse it while it lasts.

very nice guide!

You grab a lot of +aoe and +aoe dmg in your passive skill tree, do these apply to zombie's melee splash and unrighteous fire from spectres?
The only passives that affect minions are minion dmg/life. I assume all those damage passives are for cold snap.
