Currently best summoner build?

How come no one has mentioned Elemental Equilibrium and spamming Arc with Added Fire on Minions?

Or stacking Auras and Leadership, like Anger, Wrath, Hatred and go the elemental Minions route.

I have a level 77 "pure" summoner. I play solo and self-found only. My zombies tank with 17k health, my skellies distract the mobs and my spectres do most of the damage. I use Burning Miscreations as my spectres. Their unrighteous fire does insane damage and I just run through maps, watch the mob melt like butter and collect the loot. I do no damage myself.

My self-found crap gear :

I'm playing a wacky summoner in Onslaught right now... Duelist summoner. It's pretty funny to play.

3 spectres as main damage source, if you dont like spending some short time getting spectres, get a tabula rasa

zombies in +2 minion helm for tanking , skellies in a bro totem or just skellies for aggro

double curse + EE, arc is a great spell to inflict ee from afar but you can use freeze pulse or spark or firestorm depending what element your spectres will hit with.

if you like solo (and you will be mostly solo as a summoner) Id suggest aura and area radius stacking but then you will have to go HP.

if you want extra fun, try dominating blow but youd need a decent melee weapon, couple of mandatory supports and Resolute Technique. best to try on an already complete character in mid 80s when youre kinda bored of the playstyle.

voila sir die a lot is ready to party

dont forget to mutilate your poor spectre with IIR and IIQ gems and culling of course *sadface* poor spectre

you forgot to mention about the exploit you use with tabularasa in order to achieve your mentioned es -.-

anyways this guy besides from being a exploiter thinks summoners are better without magic find -.- cant blame him since he needs all the stats he want in order to play on alt+f4 leagues.

And do not listen to him about resistance or life/es you can achieve pritty high values 7k+ es if needed and max resistances even with that much magic find.

I don´t understand why people comment about things they have not tried, figuring out that you can have max resistances isn´t so hard for someone with basic knowledge of maths, the same goes with the amount of ES. But this of course will depends on you budget

what exploit is that ?
the one where you get spectres then switch off to another piece of gear in town ?

everyone knows that one; covenant and alphas howl are used for blood magic and mana reserve/_2 aura level all the time.

almost identical to mine, and I am at level 63. Only problems I had was during first 30 levels. Glad I used EK instead of Arc, so much slower clear speed with arc instead of EK + faster proj + added fire + life leech.
