Ok )
Thanks for the answer ! | |

Was something very interesting in the patch notes:
"Updated the Cannibal's torch-throwing behaviour. It also looks cooler now.". If that is an AI buff I assume the clear speed and QoL of this build went up quite a lot? At least it will be cooler :) Also Phase Run need (80->50). Will need to play a bit more careful now I guess. Do you think this requires a different layer of defense? |

Twink Gear
If this is not your league starter and you want to get to maps really quickly. I recommend the following gear. You should buy everything before you start so you can save time. Some of the gems are quest rewards so you can skip buying them. Have everything in your bag so you can start using it as soon as you reach the correct level. *Raise Spectre and Stone Golem are quest rewards *Predator and Minion Damage are quest rewards **Buy a level 1 Vaal Summon Skeletons *Flame Dash is a quest reward Sidehebreath helps a lot with early mana regen Dead Reckoning for Skele mages. They're a bit better than skele warriors because they hit with projectiles. . 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶 Last edited by kayella on Sep 1, 2022, 3:40:40 AM

Hi
What do you think about the new Bitterbind Point spectre shield, could it be useful for the build ? (PoB does not have it yet) https://www.youtube.com/user/PeipeMasta
| |
|
Why no GMP? Does it make the fire cone too wide, does it not work somehow, or is it just not better then controlled destruction/elemental focus?
| |
" Bitterbind has a really nice buff (much better than frenzy charges), but it only procs Arcane Surge on your crit. I think a summoner in general has such low crit chance that it would be rare to get the arcane surge buff. Victario + Aegis gives 100% uptime on frenzy charges because the spectres have 25 casts per second with an aoe. " I prefer to run with a high DPS loadout, so I made the build for 5B and 1G, usually swapping between Faster Projectiles, GMP and Slower Projectiles for the 'utility'; all the green gems are for damage. While running maps, I'll use GMP and swap in Slower Proj or Faster Proj for bosses. --- 
Key mechanics: 10K Skeleton Mages
KEY MECHANICS  1. Vaal Summon Skeletons The build uses Skeletons for DPS because they scale really well just from gem level. And Dead Reckoning changes warriors into Mages, which cast ranged fire, cold, or lightning spell projectiles. There is also vaal summon skeles to summon a skeleton army against bosses and big packs of monsters. We can easily get gem level 30 with unnatural strength, a +3 staff and empower 4. 2. Life and Regen stacking 10K life at level 95 (283% increased life mod) 22% regen normal / 46% regen burst (with AG consecrated ground) 3. Support Minions The build uses several support minions as meat shields to help keep you alive. •7 zombies. •One stone golem. •And a sin eater Animate Guardian, which prevents your necro from receiving elemental ailments.

Gear, Gems Links & Flasks
HELMET Diadem for reduced mana reserve and life recovery. Enchant: Skeleton damage from Uber lab. BODY Kaom's Heart for 500 flat life. Harvest craft life-quality mod for extra life. GLOVES Rare gloves with max life (or try to get max chaos res) Using Arma Brand to hit with fire damage. This will proc Elemental Equilibrium and make the enemy -50% cold res, -50% lightning res, +25% fire res. BOOTS Rare boots with max life (or try to get max chaos res) Support minions are here. AG is Sin Eater with consecrated ground body armour for extra regen. WEAPON The weapon should be two-handed, and have +1 to socketed gems. Craft +2 to support gems. You can also multi-craft and put minion damage/speed. For this build, I chose a staff for extra block chance, but you can use any 2h. This combination will give level 30 skeletons (+2 from Unnatural Strength) Bow will also work! You can get extra stats from quiver. But be careful about dex requirement and also colour 5b1r is difficult with bow because of dex. BELT Stygian Vise for extra Ghastly Eye AMULET Marble Amulet + regen mod + Golem's Blood + life quality Elder influence to get +1 skeleton Anointment: Golem's Blood Regenerate 1.6% of Life per second 10% increased maximum Life RINGS Stack life and resistances One ring should have Elemental Weakness curse on hit RECOMMENDED FLASKS • Amethyst for chaos res • Forbidden taste for instant life heal • Quicksilver for a speed boost • Quartz for phasing and dodge • Jade for evasion 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶 Last edited by kayella on Sep 22, 2021, 10:56:47 AM

" Thanks for the gem clarification. There is a solution to the Bitterbind problem, although I don't know if it would make the shield worth it - it procs Arcane Surge on your gain of Arcane Surge, so if you give either the mobility or curse delivery spell the Arcane Surge support at a low-medium level, it should allow fairly consistent arcane surge uptime | |

Anger aura worth it with fire-eaters?

  Hi everyone it's Kay! Welcome to the forum guide for Kay's Summoner! You can start with the Minion Army Necromancer for a fresh league start and then transition into one of the end game builds. The forum guide also has a full levelling walkthrough as well as recommended spectre list, animate guardian guide and crafting guide!     22 JUL 2021 Minion Army Necromancer update for 3.15 Build has been updated for 3.15. Video was recorded with downranked support gems so the DPS is 3.15 level. >> Watch it on YouTube << 18 JUL 2021 New levelling guide To prepare for 3.15, I've made a new levelling guide for fresh league start! The video shows act 1 to act 10 for the new 3.15 Minion Army build. And only 30mins long! >> Watch it on YouTube << Plans for 3.15 New levelling guide, new Minion Army build, new Skelemancer build, new Spectres/Spiders/Sentinels build Minion Army will change to Spectre/Skele (bye bye SRS) and the upgrade path will be to Pure Spectre or the new Skelemancer build. I will also update the levelling guide so there are no gem swaps when you start mapping. Also my plan is to make a short levelling guide video that's more like a summary style instead of walkthrough. New SSS build should keep the clear speed and add extra single target.

Key mechanics: Minion Army League Starter
KEY MECHANICS League Start & SSF is designed for league start and solo-self-found. It is completely made from rare items, that you can pick up or self-craft. There are no uniques needed for this build. The build uses a small army of minions: your Spectres are the main damage dealers, the skeletons give you extra DPS against tough monsters and bosses and the zombies and golem are your bodyguards. I recommend using the Frost Auto-Scout spectre. It’s the best all-round spectre with good damage and survivability. DEFENCES The build has several defensive features. • Meat shield minions to take incoming attacks instead of you. • A large life pool so you can take a hit and not instantly die. • Good amount of block, and life recovery on block. • Several defensive flasks that increase damage mitigation. • Blind and taunt from your minions.

Upgrading after League Start
This build can carry you to level 100 and Sirus A8. But if you have currency and you play in the trade league, think about upgrading to Pure Spectres or Spectres & Spiders. The easiest upgrade is the Pure Spectres build. I recommend upgrading in this order: 1. 4 spectres (Raise Spectre gem level 25) 2. Cluster Jewels 3. Devouring Diadem + reserve Haste aura 4. 5 spectres (6L delve body) 5. Awakened Dems 6. Unending Hunger* Please check the guides below as well as the video guides on youtube for more information.  
Key mechanics: Pure Spectres
KEY MECHANICS The Pure Spectres build uses Devouring Diadem to boost DPS and quality of life. devouring diadem + sovereignty 1. Reduce mana reserve combined with the sovereignty notable to reserve 100% mana with 2 auras and skitterbots. 2. Eldritch battery: uses energy shield instead of mana for skills. This will allow you to do maps with ‘no mana regen’. 3. Feast of flesh gives a large amount of life and energy shield recovery.

Key mechanics: Spectres & Spiders
KEY MECHANICS 1. Spiders Arakaali’s Fang summons spiders that have high movement speed, are extremely aggressive, and will attack everything on-screen and off-screen. They hit with physical and chaos damage, and will proc poison. They are also immune to damage. 2. Speaker’s wreath & spider’s poison Speaker’s wreath blocks your spectres and spiders from killing monsters with hits, because they cannot ignite the monsters. This means all monsters will die from spider’s poison. And any kill from a minion’s poison will count as a player kill. 3. on kill effects Spider’s poison kill will proc any ‘on kill’ effect, such as: • Re-spawning spiders • Life and ES recovery HOW TO PLAY To start mapping, let spectres hit the nearest monsters. They will reduce the monster’s life to 0, but they won’t be able to kill them because of Speaker’s Wreath. Walk close and kill the monsters. This will spawn spiders. See build guide video for demonstration.
