CI Summoner build

Hey guys! I'm making a CI Summoner build. Here's a skill tree I had in mind. If anyone sees something I'm missing, please let me know.

Thanks!

Your tree (www.pathofpoe.com)

Stats
134% increased maximum Energy Shield from passives
224% increased maximum energy shield total*
* (includes bonus from Intelligence & infused shield where applicable)
65% increased Energy Shield Cooldown Recovery (basically useless stat)
30% to Lightning Resistance
15% to Fire Resistance
15% to Cold Resistance
12% to all Elemental Resistances
55% increased Cast Speed
16% increased Spell Damage
280 to Intelligence
60% increased Mana Regeneration Rate
16% increased maximum Mana
40 to maximum Mana
30% increased Radius of Auras
8% increased effect of Auras you Cast
5% reduced Mana Reserved


You lack defence, secondary stats like str&dex; took unnecessary (for summoner) cast speed (and that single node for 16 spell damage), single ele.resistances nodes, ES recovery delay, and Minion Instability in conjunction with Necro Aegis (decide, whether your minions will be "living bombs" or live longer under Aegis)

My tree for same 108 pts

Stats
202% increased maximum Energy Shield
305% increased maximum energy shield total*
* (includes bonus from Intelligence & infused shield where applicable)
35% increased Energy Shield Cooldown Recovery
88% increased Armour
35% increased Defences from equipped Shield
5% additional Chance to Block with Shields
20% Elemental Resistances while holding a Shield
16% to all Elemental Resistances
2% to maximum Lightning Resistance
2% to maximum Fire Resistance
2% to maximum Cold Resistance
300 to Intelligence
30 to Dexterity
20 to Strength
60% increased Mana Regeneration Rate
16% increased maximum Mana
20 to maximum Mana
42% increased Radius of Auras
62% increased effect of Auras you Cast
26% reduced Mana Reserved
21% increased Effect of Buffs on You

Increased ES, aura&buff effects, reduced mana reservation, shield block&defences along with Armor, max ele.resistance and all i can get (at 108 pts) for str&dex ^_^

While this is better than my build in many aspects, what about raging skulls? That's why I was getting cast speed.

Is that cast speed you have (Plus spell echo) is that enough to summon all 50 skulls at once?
IMO, it's not worth it.
Sacrifice A LOT of defences to get just 55% increased cast speed...

You still won't get 50 spirits simultaneously (better to link them with Increase Duration btw).
And if you want to build around SRS only - there are way better methods

Alright, I'll give your build a shot. My last IC summoner failed immensely, so I am cautious about building my own builds now. xD

Edit: when should I get CI? I keep hearing around 1-5k ES, but isn't it easier if you're at par with your HP?
