looks like I wasn't actually that far off originally (keep in mind this post was before the recent +50% dmg boost and is a lvl 19 zombie).

It also raises the question of how big a jump in damage they get each level.

Is their attack speed 1.2 as a default unarmed attack ?

What gem is good to lvl zombies with?

ex: arc, fp, ek, etc.?

I leveled my summoner using Fireball + LMP + Empower in Searing Touch. Use Faster Casting instead of Empower, should work pretty good too. You'll make it into late merciless without a single spell damage passive node.

Right now Raging Spirit seems to be the way to level summoner, at leas that is the consensus in many threads, haven't even tested it yet myself.

One can also use upsupported, or with just a couple of supports flameblast - it one shots pretty much anything (including many bosses, maybe not act bosses if not supported well). Or spectral throw with unique two-handers for a couple of chaos.


Plus the change to minions does allow them to tank slightly better when leveling, doubt it allowes then survive bosses though.

Is skullhead helm work for snapshotting?

Hey, Im thinking about trying out a summoner in the new league and this build seems OK, yet two questions -
1) HC build even in the finished version doesnt include the MASSIVE 60% inc burn damage circle (for just 3 points if you go different path), and it should boost miscreations damage by a whole, yes, 60% :P
2) Mind over Matter when you have just about 200 mana unreserved? Thats like, nothing... is there really a point in taking it?

It's not included since it boosts their damage by 0%. Your passives don't affect your minions unless they specifically cite them (minion life, minion damage, etc).

Ah I see - all it says is 'increase burn damage' so I thought it works for minions too (Im pretty new to summoners)
What bout MoM tho, is it worth taking?
Also, bandits - since we go HP wouldnt helping Oak in normal be better than killing him? (also easier and less dangerous)

if you feel like its better than go for it, i prefer to have 1 more skill point
