Witch - [3.3 Video Guide] Beginner's Guide: Zombie Build "Umbrella Corp Apocalypse Build" - Forum

Hey Ghazzy, its your friendly neighbor Sale with some more questions at the ready :D I'm running pure zombie build and it is pretty decent. (if you don't take their retarded A.I into account) However, now that ascendancy has changed I wanted to check which nodes would be the best for it. It is no longer possible to take all of the nodes so i need to sacrifice one. I was thinking of going Commander, Invoker, Flesh Binder and Mistress of Sacrifice, while good abyssial jewels would make up to the puppet master's damage and attack/cast speed. So I wanted to ask for your opinion regarding this matter, which node should I leave out? or should I stick to my original plan? Also which stats should i look for in abyss jewels? These are the jewels I am using atm. and i plan to add these two if i manage to get the slots Also since I am lacking some dexterity should i get str/dex body armor? Cheers man :) Last edited by Sale93 on Mar 3, 2018, 9:12:01 AM	Posted by Sale93 on Mar 3, 2018, 8:38:55 AM Quote this Post

That and i crushed about a half dozen single player games on my backlog otherwise just the usual cycle of playing poe getting burned out playing something else etc.. still on the fence for this league tho. i need to sand box if the changes to the zombie slam are enough to drop lycosidae they added another 100% cd reduction so that brings the slam cooldown to something like .63 seconds if my napkin math is good. but they also said they made minions attack faster... frankly needing lycosidae is the only thing keeping my ci crit zombie build out of the temp leagues as you kind of NEED that shield slot to pull off umbilicus over energy shield. so if i can drop lycosidae .. which i hope i can .. then i may roll my stupid 50+ exa zombie build and see where things go from there. or i may just do specters because they take absolutely no effort from level 30+ especially now that they finally added some bloody sustain to the necromancer tree. Haha, yeah I feel ya, specially on the sustain on the necro ascendancy tree! Math seems legit, but again, the "faster attack speed" without any actual numeric information is so annoying...

Cheers man :) And I'm here ready to respond! Taunt on Hit jewels are nice but keep in mind that % minion dmg is still #1 mod on those jewels for all minion builds (including skellies & AW)! Regarding the ascendancy node choice, it's such as small difference that it's more a matter of taste than anything else tbh.

Your Shield Charge and/or Orb of Storms "hits" as long as you're only elemental dmg is lightning, enemies will have lowered fire & cold res making you deal a ton more dmg on the enemies :) Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub YT: https://www.youtube.com/GhazzyTV Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/ghazzytv	Posted by Ghazzy on Mar 15, 2018, 6:45:53 PM Quote this Post
Hey thanks for the guide. First time trying summoner and liking it a lot. Could you please explain why the lvl1 Clarity is necessary for Commander of Darkness if Haste isn't linked to Generosity?	Posted by tschuki121 on Mar 18, 2018, 7:05:18 AM Quote this Post

Very good question, here's why: Commander of Darkness grants a few benefits to you, however, the part that says: "Auras you Cast grant 3% increased Attack and Cast Speed to you and Allies" stacks, PER aura, which means a single socketed lvl 1 clarity grants 3% cast/atk speed :) Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub YT: https://www.youtube.com/GhazzyTV Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/ghazzytv	Posted by Ghazzy on Mar 18, 2018, 5:25:48 PM Quote this Post
Hello Ghazzy, I am actualy trying your build (suicide zombie) and did some test on POB. When i switch empower with Swift Affliction the dps of Caustic cloud increase a lot. It is a way to play your build or something wrong with Swift Affliction ?	Posted by zeldra on Mar 22, 2018, 10:31:40 AM Quote this Post
