[3.0] JV's Null's Inclination ranged AW/SS autosummoner build guide

allows us to automatically summon socketed minion skills when we get a kill

stops minions from stealing your kills, the biggest problem with nulls has always been that the more minions you summon, the less likely you will get a kill.

needed to run empower on two 50% auras for the amount of aura nodes we pick up.

to be able to summon ranged skeletons

to be able to summon ranged animate weapons

to get the first kills in a map, summoning your summon skeletons and any weapons you drop on the ground

here are some examples of gear that is beneficial to the build

movement speed jewelry and quiver


this can be obtained by crafting with an essence of fear.
**your gear cannot have base fire damage or lightning damage added to attacks as you are using EE, on one piece of gear you need cold damage added to attacks.**

gloves with catarina minion damage craft.

Bonus: elemental weakness on hit corrupt is bis.

body armour with catarina +1 skeleton mod

this is the gear I have accumulated so far, this section is not finished.

- nulls will disable any minion gem socketed, so we use a 4L srs to kill the first pack
- unlike jorrhast the gems must be linked together.
- also unlike jorrhast, degens dont count as kills, it must be a kill with the bow.

default 5 max skeletons
+2 from our tree
+1 from catarina body craft

total 8 skeletal mages can be summoned at a time, the most efficient for two dead reckoning is 9 skeletons because of how summoning works when you try to summon with 10 skeletons out already. I will pick up one more skeleton from the tree past lvl 90.

this gem will create a minion that wears any piece of gear you put on the ground and cast it on. The guardian cannot use any jewellery or belts.

You cannot get back the gear the guardian has on.* and once they die they will not have that gear the next time you summon them, but you can log out without fear of losing your guardian.

For this build we use leercast and dying breath because they both provide nice buffs to allies (you and the other minions)

the rest of the gear the guardian uses (body armour, gloves and boots) is up to you. this usually depends on how much you want to spend on your guardian.

*There is a catarina mod that you can put on a body armour that will make it drop on the ground when the guardian dies, slightly reducing the cost of summoning a new guardian

notes on gems

Elemental focus is more important than minion damage as it stops minions from igniting enemies and getting kills as we are using speakers wreath

wrath is the only aura other than anger that will effect the elemental damage of the skeletal mages, although it will only be about 33% of the mages you summon. Will try out haste to see if it feels better mapping.

Rumi's and bone offering for block/spellblock

EB/MOM/ZO + stone golem
