[Build Guide] [Domination] [Bow/Summoner Hybrid] Ice Shot Necromancer - Solo
|
Let me start off by giving credit to ScrotieMcB for the concept for this build here http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/496957 even though the build was considered dead, I was determined to make it work and at level 83, I think I am ready to start this guide.
If you are looking for a fast map clearing build, look for something else, but if you are looking for a good solo build to run maps, this is the one for you. If you party for maps you will incur the wrath of those players that cannot appreciate an original build and will rage behind the keyboard because you are not killing fast enough to please them. Screw them, I play because I enjoy the game, not because I can overpower the game. The primary damage in this build comes from your zombies, pretty much everything else in this build is to support the zombies. Ice Shot chills the mobs for the zombies while trying to steal as many kills as possible with Culling Strike linked with Item Rarity. Auras help keep the zombies alive as well, giving them additional resists and life regen. The Build at level 100 (I know, its not practical to get to 100, but this is how I envision the final build and it gives some options after you get the life nodes in the leveling guide later on in this post.) The Skills: Bow/Chest
Spoiler
Ice Shot - Culling Strike - LMP/GMP - Item Rarity - Faster Attacks (5L) - Blind (6L)
Raise Zombie - Minion and Totem Elemental Resistance - Multistrike - Life Leech - Faster Attacks (5L) - Life Gain on Hit (6L) Head/Boots/Gloves
Spoiler
Summon Skeletons - Spell Totem - Faster Casting - Whatever you want (I used Minion Damage)
Purity of Elements - Hatred - Vitality - Reduced Mana Clarity - Temporal Chains/Enfeeble - whatever you want Enough mana to summon zombies or skeleton totem mid fight is highly encouraged; you can use Blood Magic linked to Clarity if you do not have enough mana to support running the 4 auras.)

Gear:
Spoiler
You want Life, Resists and Rarity primarily; Sprinkle in some Strength, Energy Shield, Mana and Damage if you want. It's a good idea to get atk speed when possible on gloves, rings and quiver to steal the kills from the zombies. I would prefer to have a fast high physical dmg bow but take what you can get and adjust the build accordingly. My Gear:
Spoiler
I'm sure I will edit this in the future as I think of more stuff to add. Last edited by Abelos on Jan 3, 2014, 11:44:28 PM

You want this build added under the summoner section in the witch build list or under a "Bow Builds" section while mentioning that it is a bow/summoner hybrid?
| |
" Probably best to put it in a Misc/Bow Build section with the mention as a bow/summoner hybrid. Thanks. | |

Hey man, would you mind adjusting this since they broke my favorite build AGAIN?
