Physical to lightning for Raise Zombies? Or no good?

Yeah skittering runes. That whole cluster combined with 20q curse-on-hit makes your curses pack quite the punch. I've been using that combo with Enfeeble and anything without curse resistance is an absolute joke (from rogue exiles all the way to Beyond bosses!). This is my setup FYI:

If you can get the dual curse cluster on the tree and skittering runes, you could get up to 40% increased effect. If you dual curse resist reduction, non-bosses are going to be taking insane levels of extra damage. Then when you enter a boss room just swap out (or use a different link) something defensive like temp chains enfeeble.

yes with the higher damage everywhere that's starting to look pretty interesting.

With zombies it is most important to keep their damage pure. They attack to slow for added damage to work at all. Usually you are better off with minion damage melee physical and multi strike. That kind of is their best set up. Get them high single target scale it with hatred and melt bosses. Specters won't need wrath if you play solo. If you play high maps there is a good chance you will use other specter bases.

Hatred is a double whammy. Not only is it by far the best damage aura for zombies, but it also gives them defensive abilities in the form of chill/freeze.

my current setup is:

Raise zombie
- minion damage
- minion life
- melee splash
- added fire
- melee physical (could swap with multistrike)

Arc (+ EE)
- curse on hit
- temp chains
- enfeeble or ele weakness

Don't be put off the the lower 'more' multiplier on added fire damage, with ele weakness and EE you'll be pushing things into negative resists so its generally a bigger damage boost than the other things.

I'd strongly consider swapping minion life with fortify if rolling RRRR was an option.

Also I had not considered using corrupt gloves with curse on hit, and +2 additional curses for 3 curse on hit. I'm assuming that would work?

I haven't specifically tried triple-curse yet, but I can verify that you can double curse with curse-on-hit gloves and a curse-on-hit link just fine.

Hi guys

Thanks for all the brain storming, i think ill go ahead and just pop back in hatred and see how that goes over wrath. Hatred does seem a little too good to give up so ill get that back in see how it goes. Cheers for all the advice!
