Videos update 10/06/2013
How to summon strong minions + Lunaris3 run http://youtu.be/3hb-meyCS0o Section 13 has mistake. Please also watch "Gem swap trick" after watch this video. one zombie vs Piety http://youtu.be/7IrhmJUKv6Y Gem swap trick http://youtu.be/oD0QErZQr_o Temple map until kill Piety http://youtu.be/m9h20qg_gFQ 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 - Auto attack - Very High DPS with AoE - 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 :(
Passives
94 points click here around Lv85(103points) click here 109 points click here 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 Thank you for watching :) IGN:DonaldF_DS Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCM3Cv4VyTLmec7UHsaNBuiw Last edited by DonaldF on Nov 4, 2013, 2:25:54 PM

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. Necronomicon: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1617098

" 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.
