Let me chime in since I was the "jerk" that dared to question his first build on the poe build subreddit. Make up your own mind.
The PoB of his build:
https://pobb.in/9624nJi_WRd4
My response (arguably harsh, but I got a slap on the wrist for it from the mods):
What you are doing at this point should be considered criminal and spamming. Every day or 2 you have a "new" guide on the PoE Witch Build subforum. Every single post is a mere link to your youtube with no build outline.
Every build is bait and every title clickbait.
You are very far away from the "Best Necromancer Minion Build in the Game" (the title of your video). And sadly you don't realize that you are baiting less experienced players into a bad build and time.
Here are just a few things that are wrong with your build in the hopes that YOU, will improve even just slightly, because clearly you will keep spamming your builds everywhere.
LvL97 with 2.7k hp and no defense
You have 53% life from tree and no defensive layers that would justify beeing that low. You have 4 Unique Flasks and no flask recovery that would lead to any uptime. Pre-Progensis you are looking at 34k ehp. Every hit you take is a near-death experience.
You have no regen. Conc ground from Bottled Faith does not count. You have no uptime during bosses and you are not staying on conc ground while mapping. That means you are running Covenant with ~100 life regen total. Anything spammy below 400 for Covenant is trolling.
You have EB/MoM with no, absolutely 0 ways to recover ES other than your natural recharge. That does not work. And your footage is prove of that.
Any degen, if it does not outright kill you, will lead to you not beeing able to cast and beeing close to death almost immediately.
Bone Armour, especially on left-mouseclick, is not a reliable defense against Bleeds. Get a proper life flask with Bleed and CB removal.
Block not capped, no Spell Supp, no max Res, no noteworthy Armour, no Evasion, no ailment immunity.
YOU don't even have a movement skill???!!! Where is your Flame Dash?
Padded PoB dps and minion nonsence
You don't have uptime on your minions. You are running SRS + Skeletons and you are assuming maximum numbers without Blessed Rebirth. In the boss fights I saw you didn't even get to 22 SRS a single time. You cannot maintain those numbers.
You have no Unleash (in the Pob) or Enchant for SRS and no Skill Effect Duration, neither Enduring Bond nor Mistress. Hardcasting SRS 22 times and assuming they will live without Blessed Rebirth or have uptime with their base 5 seconds and then clicking 3 Frenzy Charges and 3 Power Charges with any combination of 3 Apes is the most disingenuous PoB fuckery I have seen in the past year.
Just to make it clear how insanely stupid your build is: You have a cast rate of 3.02 and your SRS have a base uptime of 5 seconds. You barely make it to 15 SRS if you perma cast with no break and you can only maintain that number if you keep casting without break, which you can't because you have no defense.
Edit: In the video you actually do have Unleash on SRS but not in the PoB. I am assuming you swapped Skeletons into you Staff and mixed them with Zombies but that still means PoB =/= Video which means your are either intentionally or unintentionally trying to pad your pob dps or mislead your viewers.
And despite running Unleash you could not even maintain SRS in the 10 way you did. You were constantely at ~5 SRS.
You also have no defense or recovery for your Support minions. You are running them at base LvL 20 with no defensive supports. No Minion Life and no Meatshield. At the very least click the 8% max res minion defense mastery if you are pathing to it.
Also only 9 Wither Stacks come from Withering step, the remaining 6 come from your Spectres. That inherently inflates your dps, because PoB assumes all 15 come from the player for the sake of calculating Corruption.
And there is so much more wrong with the build, like inefficient pathing or mixing damage types that don't scale well together like minion crit and poison.
If you aren't picking up Influence or Instinct and you are not using your Helmet to cap Spell Supp, there is no reason to path over to the right "just" for EB. Get a Diadem, skip the entire 2. Cluster or place it under Divine Shield.
"Best Necromancer Minion Build in the Game" - Doesn't show Ubers, does not run Altars in maps, has multiple close calls and no minion uptime in a mere 10 way. Stop with the clickbait.
That was the Mod response in the locked thread. I don't know what Bleak replied to me or the other user in the thread. By the time I saw it it was already deleted by the mod. Apparently not good.
Removed.
Use clear and concise titles - No click bait titles. Your posts title must be an accurate representation of the contents of the post.
You have clearly padded your PoB for extra damage. You are clearly unable to actually sustain the amount of minions you are representing in your PoB (as seen in your videos where you don't because they die or despawn constantly during the 10 way), you are using unleash but have swapped that out in your PoB for a gem that ups your damage numbers.
What's crazy is you didn't even need to do that because when you correct for those things the build still does a lot of damage. Everyone knows poison minions are big damage, the padding was so unnecessary.
Regardless of the tone used by /u/Previlein almost all their points stand.
Finally:
Be civil to one another - Unacceptable behavior includes name calling, taunting, baiting, flaming, etc.
The language you used in this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/10nxsxr/320_necromancer_100119mil_dps_necromancer_minion/j6c2xim/ is totally unacceptable here, just because you edited it after the fact doesn't stop us from seeing what you originally put.
Here is his new fresh account on the subreddit with his newest build, which is already beeing questioned. The OP only includes a PoB this time:
https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/10ovif2/320_necromancer_bleed_minions/
And Bleak, if you post your builds you need to accept the fact that people will question and/or criticize your builds and the choices you made. That comes with beeing a build content creator.
Without trying to hurt you or be mean, all I can say is, your builds are not as good as you think they are. Try to be more open to suggestions and critique. It will help you become better at making builds.
