I thought as much. Now, my build is a bit different, I'm not sure the AOE nodes are worth it. I just started playing my summoner again and got a montregul's to try your style out. It's good but not sure it's faster clear speed than fire ball spectres.

If you want to check it out, this is my build:

Where does the cold damage come from on you zombies???? im very confused about that one.

same question -> I couldn't see an added %x of phy damage as cold damage or %x of phy damage converted to cold damage. Where cold attack comes from?

I watched your video. You certainly clear lunaris 3 quite fast and you will clear trash very quickly in maps. Its just how are you going to fight some map bosses/mob types when your resummoning gear is in your stash.

Piety, Temple
Vaal, The Maze
ROA skele, Thicket
Megaera, Crematorium
Piety, Shrine
Warmonger, Shipyard

Can you post videos of you doing these bosses? These have always been the bane of summoners.

*Your build is a bit different than the standard, so am interested in how it holds up.

EDIT: I do the same summoning setup as you. But instead of dual midnights I use a Chober for the zombies, Gives them a massive boost in hp.

more ideas, instead of raising one more BM, try raising a frenzy gorilla in Act2, they will increase your zombie dps further.

I have some temple maps so we can run them together if you want.

I can kill temple piety pretty fast in a single player game. I want to test whether my zombies will survive or not in a multiplayer game ;)

I'd be interested in seeing some higher maps with some of the more scary for summoner mods myself, as a summoner I use zombies to tank because there are simply some maps where they will get killed either very quickly or repeatedly over time (any map + burning ground, fire golems, chaos snakes/alchemists) but Im not running vitality and rely on my spectres damage to clear. While i do find it interesting my map group would hate me if I had to do all that to re-summon my zombies, but it does look like fun for soloing (till itS fixed anyway).

Donald,
if you were to build zombies tankier (say high lvl maps), in what priority order would you plug these in:

minion life, minion resist, life leech (anything else worth it?)

and in what priority order would you sacrifice the dps gems:
remote mine (added fire dmg instead of this?), meelee splash, faster attack, multistrike, meelee physical

Reason I am asking, since I dont have montregul/midnight/sidhart my zombies are weaker, and while they are still perfect to clear up to lunaris Piety for example (or up to L66 map bosses), they fold under piety or map boss aoe. Dps is uber now, so I am ok to sacrifice some of it for more zombie survivability, but what do you and all think is the most efficient setup for this? Just assume your exact build for the discussion.

Also since dps goes down, might even switch hatred for another aura? If so which?

8k hp and 75fire resist. Dies to fire golem rolls and fire alchemist bombs in 74~ maps.
