New Minion....Sword?

Damage, Chaos Res, Free Poison link, all good... And then you get either 20% of max life recovered on kill, or 5% pure leech.

It almost seems like the 20% would be better on Zombies and Spectres, rather than the 5%, in every case but boss fights with no adds. If the boss DOES have adds, the 20% still might be better.


This then begs the question...What can we do, with Poison Minions now?

It's a sword, so AFAIK, can't be used with the Scourge. Maybe physical Spectres will be better than Flame Sentinels now? Perhaps SRS and Zombies can abuse it in some fashion, and you can scale the damage by Vuln and Haste, rather than elemental auras.

Also...WTF is L15 Envy? Anyone know? The wiki doesn't...yet. I'd presume it has to be Minion based, somehow, or it wouldn't make sense on the sword.

It's also kinda a downside to lose the All Atts roll on the un-blessed version, summoners do always have attribute issues. Getting 100+ of all atts takes some doing as a Witch, after all.

Summoners really pain to play, hope some love coming for summoners

The only summoners I find troublesome are Spectres. SRS, AW, and Zombies all work just fine.


And we don't speak of Skeletons. Ever.

I cry with each passing league that doesn't fix the bug with skeles and my favorite summoner item:




And each league that spectres aren't persistant at high tiers easier.

Envy has the sound of an aura, particularly a Vaal-skill one (like with Purity of Elements -> Gluttony of Elements).

However, thesaurus.com gives no clues. Friendliness, love, good will, kindness... the closest we got is Generosity, but that's a Support, not a proper Skill as we know it (it would be written Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 15 Envy if it were a support)

If I had to guess from the name, it would probably be some kind of Leech aura, as Envy means to covet what someone else has.

However, if we go with the assumption that it's a reversal of one of the existing auras... Grace? Lowers enemy Evasion Rating?

If I had to put my money on it, I'd probably say it's a Leech aura.

Sure you can, no problems there.

Your best bet for the sword are probably stone golems but the jewels cost an arm and a leg these days. It should work well in a zombie/skeleton build.

Why THAT expensive they are?

Because the stamp 'approved by ziggyd' they bear.

This sword with physical spectres is awesome. Slashed miscreations to destroy everything, or evangelist for utility, even alchemist for chaos/poison damage only.

This is envy.
