It would use Severed in Sleep (dont need envy aura but a United in Dream would give slightly more minion dmg), this is displayed in the current gear approach.
Even with the addition of poison we would still be using Hatred + Generosity and we would not change any support gems either.

The only difference in late game is if you play hardcore or softcore. If you play Softcore then using a Vis Mortis can be very nice due to the Unholy Might but you would lose a ton of HP doing so.

For late game the rest of your gear should strive to hit as much life gain as possible whilst still keeping that 50% of your life as Energy Shield throughout the gearing process.


Obviously you have the possibility to make it into a Low Life build or even CI but for those 2 versions you'd need to change around in both gearing as well as the skilltree a lot and the budget would go from almost nothing to skyrocketing high values.


Hope it helped!

Hello i have a question about severed in sleep item affecting the zombies atacks do the chaos/poison nods in the pasive tree afect the amount of damage ? i know the add chaos damage work as a boost but it works if the boost comes from the pasive tree?.

Thx for your answer!

Heya,
This VIDEO shows you all mechanics and what scales any minion in the game.
If the node on the tree or mod on the gear doesn't specifically state that it will affect minions, then it will not. (Exceptions are support gems linked to the active minion of course).

ty alot ghazzy iam having a ton of fun with the build so far! :D same with the lich queen one, awesome job thx!! :D

why are you getting foresight?

Seems like a wasted 3 points

Foresight grants you flat ES as well as 14% increased ES, ultimately the build requires you to have aprox 50%+ of your life as ES. The nodes are better than the 2 intelligence connectors north of the Witch start. So ultimately it would only be a "1 point waste" but then again it drops the need for higher rolled ES gear later either way.

What would a CI version of this look like? Tree?...required uniques?

It would need a rather big makeover, doable, but lots of changes.
You'd have to balance aura reservation nodes so that you have enough mana left over to summon your minions if they die, whilst still keeping at least a lvl 1 clarity for Commander of Darkness stacking & Hatred on generosity, and since you're going CI you'd want Discipline on top of that. If you want to play around with the numbers I can recommend checking out this website: https://poe.mikelat.com/.

Outside of that you simply remove Mind over Matter & Eldritch Battery, and if you don't want to run a Sorrow of the Divine flask you'll want to consider keeping Zealot's Oath.

And obviously remove all life nodes and get ES nodes instead.
Though with the use of Energy From Within you can keep the 3 life nodes at "life & mana" north of witch start as well as the 3 life nodes also located north of the witch start called "Cruel Preparations", those 6 nodes are covered by the jewel in the northern jewel slot.

Problem with going CI is not just balancing mana for the minions, it is also not flaskable source of effective HP on top of being rather expensive in comparison to this type of build. But obviously you can get a lower ammount of ES and still be fine doing CI version. Some people would prefer that approach over the keystone hybrid :)
