Help me to improve my zombie, skele, golem build please

I am getting very well with my build but its time to get better eq. Its my first ever summoner in Poe and I dont know whats important.

My eq:



Stats: 5.6k life, 1.5k shield,1.5k mana (mom)
Arround 140@res in hideout. I can do most maps, its strong build but it must be better! :]

Jewels with taunt, stun. I dont use any aura (maybe i should), I dont use any curse (maybe i should). I didnt even summon my spectres yet lol.

Any help is welcome!

Anyone?

You can get more damage by getting :
new gloves with full ele convert, if you do it get EE in Tree
Essence Worm with Hatred or stay with pure phys and get Pride its like 20% more damage
Swap your Meat Shield support from Wand for Animate Guardian with Dying Breath, Leer Cast, Ambu's Charge and any gloves with Curse on Hit, if you gonna do Elemental take Frostbite if phys take Vulnerability , he gonna hit and curse. its lot of free damage for 1 Gem swap.
You can buy or craft Elder Armour with Maim, 25% more damage, if you stay phys build.
Swap your 6 Link for Zombies, they clear way faster and you dont need melee splash gem for em, with maim its gonna be 6.5 link Zombies.
Swap your Wand to get +1 more Gem levels. Also get lvl 21 Zombies, you will get +1 more Zombie from lvl 25 total gem.

Also if you have enough currency you can swap Dying Breath from Animate Guardian for Kingmaker its will give you and all your minions Perma Fortify and Culling Strike.

you can get 4 Spectres, get 2 Carnage Chieftains from Act 7 The Ashen Filds and 1 Host Chieftain, its perma 3 Frenzy and Power Charges again free more damage and speed.
for last Spectre any you like.

Forgot about Crafted Elder Helmet with +3 gem levels or +2 with Minion damage for free 5 Link Skeletons

If zombies are dying too quickly, use fortify gem instead of brutality.

Hey OP,

This build looks exceptionally good for a first one, congratulations.
Because Skellies do such good base damage, this setup should take you a long way. Especially as your defences are decent.

To make end game easier / more enjoyable, most players focus on getting a synergy that either gives super high minion DPS (kill or be killed), or super good defences. Defences are the most forgiving option for new players.

As an example, if you used the new chest armour: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Rotting_Legion

You'd lose a small amount of dps, but gain about 10% elemental damage reduction and more armour for better physical damage reduction. You'd also gain an excellent defensive 7 link with meatshield for socketed gems.

You also tend to get better synergies if you focus on just life, rather than both life and ES.

Here's an example of using the baron to help stack both life for yourself, life for minions and minion damage:

This allows you to use your mana for either offence (pride, flesh and stone, war banner) or defence as in the purities I run here.
