Does the whole bypass the halved zombie numbers on mon;tegruls grasp still work? If not, is mon'tegruls still worth it? Thank you!

yes it worked fine before todays hotfix, and I doubt anything was stealth-changed

Lvl 74 on nemesis atm. Everything is running cool, just problem to get my hands on Grasp.


Because the new changes of CwDT, should it be leveled up now to the certain level or? Molten Shell doesn't sound that beneficial now, with lvl 1 CwDT at least. Or should I just link something else on it? Are you guys trying out anything atm?

anyways vitality buff was huge

am running

discipline, vit, purity, clarity, grace

402 mana left over
220 mana regen

makes for some op AA and MS combo, and about 500 es for my minions too.

Yeah, was disappointed with Enhancement, completely useless for EVERY minion except skeletons and zombies......why do spectres even have move speed as quality when its capped? Not to mention Animate Guardian/Weapon which already have issues with a crap quality bonus as well.

Defiantly moving Burning Miscreations back to a 4 Link though. Zero use for Minion Resist now with the new auras and Empower isn't worth the meager bonus damage (-4% less HP).

The aura setup sounds good, going to try it out. If I change the RS (BM) to my hat without Minion Resists, what should the fifth gem for RZ be then? Like I said, no Grasp atm.


Thanks

I'm not using this exact build but I read alot of useful stuff here about Minions and their mechanics.
Long time I used the Flame Sentinels with chain etc. but they cause alot of FPS Drops. Tentacle Misscreations were also a good choice, especialy with LMP. But after the PoE Release I discovered the nice Shield Mobs from the Sceptre, pretty useful, especialy against thight, large mob groups. Culling Strike is great with them, also increased AOE support and/or Increased Item rarity (only have 4l for spectres so I must be creative). Not sure if I will abandon Minion damage for these mobs, should work with them well.
I just wonder why the OP sayed that the damage increase of the BM's are only possible through some skills and Minion Damage is not listed. Because they are also "Bombers" I wonder if the Evangelists benefit from Minion damage.
I don't use the Burning Misscreations but maybe I should try them out. I also don't use snapshot mechanics, only gem swapping because every spectre needs other support gems. But so far I was fine, only died today twice in a level 69 Map (and I'm level 81 XD, embarrassing) But the Spider Forrest Leap-Slam guy was somehow to much, even for my strong Mob Group (9 Zombies, 13 Skellies+3 Spectres). I also must be careful at the "Thicket" boss with his annoying rain of arrows (chaos damage I guess).
I cast Arc by the way to support my Minions. Wrath Aura (finaly 4 Auras instead of 3 since v. 1.0 + Arctic Armor--> 270 Mana left ^^" ) and Conductivity curse for even more shock stacking fun, supported with Elemental Proliferation of course. I basicly use the same setup like the Blackguard Arcmages, nice Lightning Show by the way. Sadly, I only have 1 curse at the time, could take a while to get 5 passive points for 2. curse. And if I continue to die twice in a row at Level 81, I guess my Skilltree will remain like that:

But I'm pretty happy with it. Maybe some re-thinking about the improved aura passives and how useful they are but overall it's a build I can recommend, even if you don't have great gear (I play self found + solo so no great gear of course)

P.S.: does Culling Strike work with Burning Misscreations?

Only reason Bm's can't benefit from most supports and minion damage is b/c they deal degeneration damage. So it doesn't count as "on hit". Everything else works on on hit mobs like Evangelist.

I was thinking about a slight change in build path and picking up Windscream

Passive skill tree build

adds EE for -50% fire resist as you teleport on top of mobs with lightning warp

This change will reduce the amount of zombies by 2 and spectre by 1.

Majority of the damage comes from BM's anyways so this could be a good change for more dps. Also sets you up for inner force(buffs AA as well as auras)

I dont much like lightning warp cause its so slow. You would probably have a lot more fun with leap slam? not sure how big the AoE is though.

Could then do the cool jumpy things in their recent play vid.

lightning warp is really fast with reduced duration support.

for latest patch that buff 'vitality'. Can we run 5 auras now ??
I'm still lv68 and only got 2-3 reduce reserve nodes, I can run 4 auras smoothly (220 mana left with 114 mana regen)
If we can't do 5 auras even we got every reduce reserve nodes with lv20 reduce mana gem, I might go for health.

Have you tried swapping Determination for Grace? I'm just curious if the Flat Evasion gives you more armor than the more multiplier of Determination.

grace is giving me somewhere around 4 or 5k flat armor. Thats like 2 armor pieces lol. It gives me way more armor than determination. Grace is the whole reason i went IR.

best combination is grace + discipline the amount of mana i have left over makes my manashield very effective. not to mention the regen for AA.
