Use Spell Totem + Summon Skeletons + Faster Casting + Blind, you'll be able to kill bosses without even getting hit and the blind is really nice.


VERY INTERESTING COMBO





yes gonna have to try it out on my summoner.


I also use a 4 link spork with him and pretty much up to low level mpas have not even been a challenge at all. Higher level ones have been giving me trouble but this combo up there may give me the edge i need.


I foresee one potential drawback is... minion life. At higher level maps, bosses and tough mobs will 1-shot the skeletons. So, this argues whether the skeletons will even get enough hits in to trigger blind proc.

I use a 3L of the combo I posted above on my level 87 character and I have no problems with the skeletons tanking properly, it spawns them almost twice a second from what it seems, so as long as the totem itself isn't being attacked it doesn't matter how fast the skeletons are dying. I have no minion life passives or minion life gems linked to it. So maybe the blind isn't worth it if you don't.
Spoiler
The 3L is the same thing I posted except without blind because i'm super tight on gem slots.

Projectile damage bonuses apply to spark, so I think a spark totem can work well on a projectile focused ranger.

I would go Spark>Fork>Lmp>Faster Cast

Guy has RT. That means no shocks without conductivity or static blows, and stacking shocks is pretty much out of the question. Skelly Totem + blind is better option. Blacksmith and Oak miss 3/4 of the time with it, and skellies do decent damage.

My solution - used by accident on one summoner and now on both (they were in different leagues);



The Blind chance works really well; and the skeles spawn fast enough for every map boss I've reached except Piety (who one-shots everything she hits anyhow).

I understand this is a role playing game, but I don't think the best role to play should be shopkeeper. - AlteraxPoe

So this would be on weapon swap i presume.
