General Discussion - Few questions about MF Summoner - Forum

I've been told that zombies are basically really bad melee spectres. Spectres do more dmg than zombies ever could even with montreguls. You're better off using a midnight bargain. If you got 4 titty bitches with GMP, just them alone is gonna be cleaning rooms out. Zombies are just meat shields to protect your specters. Yeah... no. 4 snapshot Mon'tregul zombies with 20/20 faster attack 20/20 multistrike 20/20 melee splash 20/20 zombie in a +2 zombie helm is insane even in high level maps. They have insane survivability plus you can still raise 4 normal zombies. For hardcore, 3 spectres + 4 Mon'tregul zombies + 4 normal zombies + skele tottem = GG. So you swap out montreguls to cast 4 more zombies? I didn't actually look at it that way before, if so, then there is no reason not to use this item if you use zombies.

Precisely. My Mon't is on my offhand. Very easy to do in maps and keep up with people. Even in 77 maps with bad mods and a full party, my Mon't zombies rarely die. ॐ "Metal Gear!?!?!?" ॐ Onslaught: FixinToDie + Awnslot Last edited by Fluffhead#4533 on Sep 27, 2013, 1:26:39 PM	Posted by Fluffhead#4533 on Sep 27, 2013, 1:25:03 PM Quote this Post

Does the added zombie damage apply to the other 4 zombies if you swap back to montreguls after you cast them?	Posted by MrSmiley21#1051 on Sep 27, 2013, 1:26:32 PM Quote this Post
If you switch back after you have 8, it kills off 4 of them and takes it back to 4. So no, that doesn't work. The normal zombies are snapshots of how you raised them, so if you don't raise a zombie with Mon't on, it doesn't have the buffs. ॐ "Metal Gear!?!?!?" ॐ Onslaught: FixinToDie + Awnslot Last edited by Fluffhead#4533 on Sep 27, 2013, 1:27:49 PM	Posted by Fluffhead#4533 on Sep 27, 2013, 1:27:06 PM Quote this Post

I'm actually linking IIR/IIQ to both Culling Strike and Zombies. And thanks for the mon't advice, Fluffhead. That's awesome.	Posted by Seelow#0701 on Sep 27, 2013, 1:37:47 PM Quote this Post
Then leave Culling Strike on Arc :) Crafting doesn't exist in POE. Gambling does...and the house always wins. Velocireptile - I LOL'ed. Which made me fart.

If you're soloing, zombies will be fine for culling, in groups it's a little more tricky. Mon't zombie explosion wave culling might be pretty good. If you end up not liking it, just play your summoner like normal and try firestorm>culling>iiq>iir. People balk at the idea, but it works very well. In groups a little faster casting will help the firestorm cull magics/rares, but solo you'll be fine without it. ॐ "Metal Gear!?!?!?" ॐ Onslaught: FixinToDie + Awnslot	Posted by Fluffhead#4533 on Sep 27, 2013, 1:58:46 PM Quote this Post
