Need help on my minion master build

so basicly,

my idea was to get as many minions as possible.
That and i wanted them to not die too fast.

So basicly, what i had in mind was :



Now, before you mention i'll never get the correct socket colors, i have no idea if can match them currently,
this is all theoretically and i think this would be ideal.(apart from the golem, he's around so i can cast faster.)
As for my skill tree, as i said as many minions as possible,
I went for all the + minion nodes, including the ones for
their survivability and damage output.

Then i went for some life nodes on my way to blood magic, so i could take the 50% less mana reservation.
after that i thought it would come in handy to get some more mana reservation reduction nodes, so took the ones closest i could find.

Afterwards, i thought it might not be enough reduction, so started building up some energy shield.
Last i went for mana and mana regen, seeing how i use allot of support gems for my SRS

Link to the skill tree (all 123 points spent tho) :

Since i'm only starting out with this stuff, any hints and tips are welcome.
i'd love an explanation as to why some stuff would be better tho, and not just
"that is useless, take that skill instead"
I'd love to understand why it would be better, so i don't make the same mistakes again afterwards.

Thanks

Your tree is waaay too spread out, you're trying to take life + ES + blood magic and it's too many points spent on that. Also, I don't understand the point of Battle Rouse.

I would recommend staying away from BM keystone with summoner because it prevents you from using auras, which is where a lot of damage/surviveability comes from.

You also allocate Blood Magic and take lots of mana nodes? If BM, cut mana nodes. If not BM, probably still cut mana nodes because summoners don't usually have problems with mana.

For help with the skill tree I strongly recommend looking at the myriad summoner guides on the Witch forums, Ghazzy's is pretty tried-and-true but there are plenty of others as well. The guides can also help a lot with gem links. For example, using a 6L chest just for defensive zombies is a bit much, you could cut out multistrike and minion damage and put it in a 4Link, maybe a helm with "+2 to level of socketed Minion gems" (levels scale zombie/guardian health a lot, so it's pretty good). Summoners have very tight gem requirements, so it's best to be as efficient as possible.

One last note: Right now, your chest, both hands, helm, gloves, and boots are all taken up by resist slots. Not only are you going to have a hard time getting enough resists and life/ES, but you're throwing away one of the best advantages of summoners, which is that they don't have strict gear requirements. Bones of Ullr are too good not to use, but you could swap the gloves and helmet with rares and that would be easier, I think.

edit: I meant unique slots

thanks for the quick response,

the main problem with most guides i'm having is that they're not updated with todays skill trees, so whenever i try to click them, they're, well, useless because they show up blank...
but thanks for the help so far, i'll try and make some changes XD
if you have a link for ghazzy's up to date builds , that would be awesome because i can't seem to find them =s

I'll rearrange things later tonight,
the gear chosen however is all to boost minions and minion dmg,
so i'm hoping that those will work, the tabula rasa is one i want to get rid of for a decent 6l tho,

just haven't found one yet
