{3.2.0} Spectral Gods: [Life Based Spectre/Golem Hybrid Summoner | Clear Speed | End Game Bossing]
|
For the weapon I have found that a +1gem +2 cold gem work wonderful. It basically give a level 25 arctic armor when using empower. Also I'm using flammability and elemental weakness and for the zombies I replaced faster attack for added fire dmg since flesh offering + multistrike is already overkill for attack speed.

" Same here anyone have any idea why? | |

Seems like summon in eternal laboratory is league based. I just tried with my summoner in Hardcore League and desecrate summon Flame Sentinels. But in Invasion it just summons bonestalkers :( Perhaps a bug.

Disclaimer: I've only started playing PoE 3-4 days ago. Please bear with me, thank you :)
Always being into theorycrafting, with my very limited PoE familiarity I'm planning a summoner's build based on Matt's in post #1. With heavy reliance on minions, I've occasionally started to encounter problems when fighting some "elite/unique" mobs in Act3 on Normal where I would lose my minions fast and had to re-summon or fight on my own. Namely, if I encounter a boss that can kill my minions quickly, and I run out of corpses that I can use to summon, that is when shit hits the fan. On most Corrupted bosses and the last boss in Act3, I had to resort to gimmicks to beat them. So, being level 42 (at the time of this post) I am convinced that I'm doing something wrong. But what? I've posted my current passives bellow as well as my gear, any tips would be MUCH appreciated. Note: In case you guys dislike newbie questions in a topic as advanced as this one is, feel free to PM me your helpful tips, to avoid clutter for others discussing this fabulous build. Gear

" It was always a rule not to level as a summoner - one would either lvl with some othger skill or as a hybrid. Best ones for leveling would be flameblast, spectral throw (if not nerfed too much), fire trap. As of teh last patch it seems it did become easier to level as a pure summoner, especially if using Summon Raging Spirits, but flameblasting to late cruel/early merciless will still probably be easier. Arc and incinerate are not good leveling spells, too much mana for little gain if not supported well (in case of arc even if supported well - it is a late game shock stacking skill).

" Thanks for the tips, I got Fire trap, but due to DEX requirement I dropped it (will start using it again definitely, as it was easy mode with it). However, it seems more and more that I will have to switch my gear to Dex/Evasion/Armor and take up IR during leveling, to make myself tankier and able to level Fire trap, and Spectral throw (once I acquire it). As for my minions, I take it that your advice "not to level as a summoner" implies that minions are not much more than a short-lived meat shield during leveling? Is there a cost/effective way, that you could suggest, to improve them a bit so that they don't die so easily to Rare/Unique mobs before I start picking up end-game gear?

Hey matt. Im testing a new summoner build and im wondering which auras u would pick if u can choose two more?
|
|

I've leveled as a pure summoner spec in Invasion league, currently level 53. 'Summon Raging Spirits' did pretty well until i got to act3 and got 3 spectres - and from there it has been a breeze.
Gotta skip a few invasion bosses that got too heavy AOE but other than that its awesome. If i encounter the corpse detonation bosses i make sure to waste all their corpses by spamming the Bone/Flesh Offering so my pets dont die. | |
" Use Searing Bond. It is easily one of the most broken leveling skills I've ever seen. I used an unlinked Searing Bond to level to 60 and it was a joke. if you have a 2L linked R-R, add in an Increased Burning Damage gem for even more hilarity. The forums are screaming that it is broken and all the streamers are using it, so I expected it to get nerfed sooner rather than later. Until then I see no reason to use any other skill to level. | |
|
Oh yeah, totally forgot about searing bond. Right now probably it is the easiest way to level.
Minions will constantly die whiel leveling (it was even worse before the recent buff to minion level progression). The best way to improve survivalability is - vitality + purity of elements, rejuv totem and bone offering. It is probably not worth the hassle to try and get instant minion flasks until high level, but regular flasks of animation are a good way to get minions to live a little longer.
