Passive reset ? (Build complication)

Hey guys,

I just came back to the game after a long break and would like some advice.

I used to play a minion build Shadow (Skeletons, Spirits, Zombies etc), however gave up on the build because I got to a point when I had insufficient gear and my minions were getting killed instantly. I switched the build on a passive reset to be a duel totem arc caster. However, I have just noticed that a lot of new skills and passives have been added to make summoner more viable. Unfortunate I didn't realise this until I had already spent all my points (my own fault).

Regardless of this, I would like to return to summoner build now I see it has had some improvements.

Do we have any idea when the next passive reset is likely to take place ? (or any fast ways to respec).

Best regards.

link your skill tree first.
maybe not all is lost if you went for the overall outline of a Summoner.

Unfortunately, I even decided to take knockback on the spells so it will take ALOT to fix the tree.

On top of this I hardly have anything to trade for passive refund points. I consider myself to have been exceptionally unlucky throughout my journey.

hmm looks a lot more old-days Open Beta Spark Totemer than Summoner :)

you can use it, with very few changes.
Arc on totems is pretty cool, and you can have some Undying bubbler spectres to protect yourself and your totems.

very doable.

what gear you have for this?

My gear isn't great. Just standard yellows.

The problem isn't if I can or cannot make this build work. It certainly does the damage.

It's more that I would prefer to switch to Summoner.

The issue is there is no survivability built in for you. (life, energy shield, etc.)

If you have the 18 passive respec points that you can get for free via quests still available, you can respec a few into life, which would help.

Reset in december. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1087970/filter-account-type/staff See first and third post on that page I linked.
