What gear or changes come into play for the non-budget version of this build? Is it possible to take down shaper with the higher budget version of this build?

I changed around and made a high budget variant using 1k+ strength and poison weapons and it honestly felt very lackluster tbh. This build should with lvl 21/20 Zombies be able to handle Shaper tbh in a 6L without too much troubles. But Uber Atziri is a bit mjeh tbh, you might want to tweak in boss kill spectres (Tukohama's Vanguard) in a 4L to help boss kills but then again if that's your goal I recommend going spectre build instead.

Zombies have been a soso minion for so long it's really sad. Though some people love playing with them as it brings a new playstyle to the summoner genre which prompted me to make this guide. It's fun but you can make much more effective summoner builds with other minions tbh.



So you gota decide between fun & efficiency.

Thanks for the response! One more question - I just picked up the aura reservation nodes and am running generosity - haste - hatred with a lvl 1 clarity on myself, which reserves all but 65 mana. Summoning a zombie costs 200 at this pt, were you able to run the auras AND have enough mana to summon zombies?

My pleasure bro!

Ultimately in the end-game your zombies shouldn't die if they still do, drop an aura to be able to resummon them.

A question, I have a zombie/spectre build, I think put culling strike instead of empower to have a better life leeching, is it a good idea ? I'm on HC.

Other thing : Raise Zombie, Minion Damage, Melee Splash, Melee Physical, Multistrike, Empower (lvl 3+)

Why do you choose Melee Physical damage (or Minion Damage) instead of brutality ? it seems to be 10% better for brutality (I'll have Grace/Purity of the Elements/lvl 1 Clarity, so no conversion just pure melee). Melee Physical could be better only in group if a player bring his conversion aura.

Thanks

No to culling strike. that is not a good use of gem space

Brutality sucks ass since it disables hatred, you would only use it if for some reason you dont use hatred... at which point yeah go for it.. though it does kind of limit your options going forward

Hey Ghazzy got some more questions if you don't mind :)
1. How do you get 3 auras? i followed your build closely but don't have enough for 1 more (currently using clarity and hatred need haste)
2. Do you recommend using some new minion abyss jewels instead of the regular ones? I was thinking of some good ghastly eye jewels that give both minion dmg and life (and possibly some strenght or res dunno)
3. Is going 1000 str for baron leech bonus worth it? and if so any tips on getting that much str? I have 40 ish to 50 str on every rare piece plus the ones from your skill tree and still got 602.. :(
4. And lastly how much zombies should i have for optimal performance? I got 5 atm because montregul halved them. While i can still clear decently it somewhat feels not enough..
Hey,

I´m 86 and locking for a good 6L for this build. I´m playing with severed in sleep and my first thought was go go for a covenant cloak for the chaos damage and bloodmagic(not that important) any other good ideas?

Another question, what kind of abyss jewels do you guys play? I´m prefering "minions taunt chance" and "minions attack/movement speed" atm. I really like the taunt. Life ofc if possible. Would you take a second Violent Dead over a good abys jewel? I´m playing hardcore, that is the reason for the defensiv jewel choice.

Any other Ideas about my build/items so far (PathOfBuilding: https://pastebin.com/G0F2c1aL )

1.) You need Sovereinity (top left in skilltree) reducing the mana reserved for Auras and keep in mind that clarity is only lvl 1, reduced mana reserved.

2.) Skill all Jewels possible, take some of the new ones. I think they are good.

3.) Dont know but i cant do it in my build.

4.) I have 8 without Montegruls, feels good. Check my POB link above for deeper informations. I´m playing HC but should be similar for you.
