Looking for a Minion Build for clearing.

Hiya all,

Im looking for a good Summoner Build that clears fast. I was using Arc at lower levels but after reading it gets shitty later, which saddens me as I love the use of the spell. Im about Level 30 now on my witch and looking for a fast farming build. I already have my Marauder doing maps but its slower than id like.

Any Ideas?

Perhaps with 3 highly aggressive gmp wielding, faster attack, projectile miscreant spectres you could do it. But your standard zombie and skeles are not known for fast clears especially at level 30 probably less quick later. I will stay tuned if someone comes up with one but I bet against unless you have that Staff to buff the zombies maybe and a lot of auras. I've one at 55 and it is slow and steady. Just a regular build.

Summoners are slow and stay while leveling. They only clear fast with fully leveled and 20 quality gems plus a few summoner uniques. So you can't expect to clear quickly unless you are rich and twink or until you level your gems yourself around level 80.

When you do get in the 80s they are super powerful and can have great magic find too but they take time to reach the speed clear point. I have two summoners. I use three or four fiery specters. Dual curses. Elemental equilibrium and give -150 to fire and -100 to lightning resists. Then I use wrath to have my zombies shock things and burn them down with uber spectre fire. It works really well.

If you want to see my summoner and are in domination friend me. Flaecrowe.

So. Not what Im looking for then... Any tips on fast farming builds. I play steadily with 10 other people who all share gear epic or not so I can do any build. I love my marauder but I need a true fast farmer :)

My buddie plays a ranger spin knives guy and he kills piety in 3-5 seconds. I want something I can farm with him thats different so we can compliment each other. Instead of me lumbering slowing him down.

I have arguably the fastest minion clearing build in the game.

With the additional of CastOnDeath summoning your zombies you can prob clear faster than any build in the game.

Utilize the most powerful spectre in the game: Burned Miscreation (highly buffed from degen update)

triple curse for damage

EE for -50fire/cold resist

shock stacking with arc(triggering ee at the same time)

Kills Merc Dominus in about 6 seconds

One shots most rares in 70+ maps.

Your friends will be really jelly of your clearing speed and tankiness =P.

I'll upload a video of the 1.0.2 version of my build soon, as that patch gave the build an insane damage boost.

I would really, really like to see a video of you taking on dominus.

I seem to remember Rathik's summoner build having a pretty tough time and at quite a high level. Dominus' aoe attacks just destroy summons.

Also, too, would you be able to do it without mon'tregul's grasp ?

because the price of those things is through the roof now.

p.s. love the build thanks for writing it up.

Grasp is good for clearing packs, due to the infernal blow component its not nessacary but very useful.

So looking at 30 build you have no unlocked minion stuff. Is it slow at start I take it? And How relevant is needing gear to do that. You said cheap 4 links ect. Sorry for so many Questions. And why not have Skeletons on a Totem?

summoners in general is a slow start.

In terms of gear just get as much defensive gear as possible. Windscream/Ullr is optional. Grasp is optional and chober is optional. All of the uniques are not necessary but very nice to have.

So just save up for some nice pieces of rare equipment.

Skeletons would just slow me down. You will actually kill things slower by stopping and casting the totem. If you seen my map videos I tend to just lightning warp over packs and my minions follow up to kill.
