@Nonamium It looks good. The problem with the zombies dying in courtyard is unsolvable apart from a single vaal grace. Same counts for Megara. Even vaal disc is in my experience a bit clunky.

Im missing your hatred and haste btw, hope you are working those back in later when you move back to bones of ulr?

Hi!

I'll just repost my gear:


... and explain what I've done.

I've put in the Purity of "Ice","Fire" and "Lightning". I like to make my crew as unkillable as possible.

Haste now sits in the shield with Generosity, I've had to cut Hatred to make room for the resist gems. With lvl 19-20 gems I'm still killing mobs in 78 maps fast, though it might be faster still at the risk of losing zombies. Pro's and Con's, but I'm a safety buf.
Perhaps Hatred is better than Haste, but I haven't checked.

I've put in Vulnerability as I was never using Convocation. The few instances I had a need for it I could either run away (no stun-lock anymore with my evesion->armor change), use pots, watch my minions get killed in a split second by Crematorium boss or raise the few that died in confrontation against Courtyard bosses. So here I opted for kill-speed.
I might change this gem to Vaal Grace, but I'll have to see about that.

I like to have my MF at 196. If I could, I would raise it even higher, but mapping without a MF-Culler and still get good MF at lvl 78 maps is fantastic. I play 99% solo, so this is important to me and therefore I will never use Bones of Ulr.
3 spectres seems to be enough then using RS+Remote Mine+Faster Casting+Spell Echo+Minion Damage+Increased Duration.
When Dom-farming, I take him down in both forms in about 8-12 seconds (using Vaal Skeletons on the first form).

Thanks for a fantastic guide, I'm cleaning maps fast and I suspect I'll do it even faster when all gems are lvl 20.
The Build of the week is well deserved.

Kind regards
NoNamium

PS: I like the divine flasks for both purposes better. Massive quick boost for zombies for panicked of Animation and the 7 seconds for Cautious of Animation though less intensive just seems more versitile when choosing what to pot.

Gear

- gloves (purity, hoa, hatred) just got switched so looking for new ones.

Should hit 5500 ES with decent gloves

Looks pretty fine to me. Some tips btw: Herald of ash doesnt affect minions, since its a buff and not an aura, try to switch it out, since you dont do significant damage yourself either.

Try to switch Vaal skellies for Vaal haste or something alike, by coloring that slot green. The raw extra force the vaal haste puts out is incredible

For the minion damage in the zombielinks, try to replace this with eihter conc eff (your doing AoE since off splash, you do sacrifice a small amount of the AoE but in return gain great damage, or at least do this for bosses)

on your aura distribution:

Put Vitality and discipline into the gloves, switching hatred to your boots and put a generosity in there. Bones of Ulr have really low int req meaning they get off-colored the easiest of your gear. getting 4off on it should be doable, and instead of using a useless hoa you would actually have a significant bonus to your minions

Last note: If that ammy wasnt that insane I would said you to replace it with sidhebreath because it doesnt buff your deeps. But 16% all res, 21% es and flat es is brutal. The crit and mana are just there to kick the price of it up for stats that you cant use yourself A way to replace it would be by crafting %es on your rings (ask someone with lvl 7 elreon) so you wont need the ammy anymore

@kolyaboo, bryoda thnx

@roetetoet Always good to hear you do good.

- I haven't played it much yet, and wasn't aware of herald of ash not working with minions :P
- I would use vaal haste over vaal skellies, but that's just what I had lying around :)
- For bosses I would probably just switch out splash with added fire or something. But concentrated is a good option aswell.
- I'm leveling a generosity, but didn't have room for it at first.. guess with HoA out of the picture, generosity is back in :)

Switching out added fire is fine too. I dont know the math exactly, but I believe it does about the same in numbers. But since most bosses have adds :P

Bandits? 3 skillpoints?

Sorry for my ignorance but why run inc duration on specters? Is it for bubble length?

Im using a CI version of the build without midnight bargain, basically I took my MF summoner and took necromatic aegis and dropped some IIQ/IIR gear for bones and sidhebreath. Obviously I don't have all the auras but i was hoping the 6l es chest I had would potentially make up the difference? How much minion tankiness am I losing going this way vs running a 4 link Solaris with BM?

I have really only run CI characters so I'm not overly familiar with using BM and reserving life. How is it that you can run so many freakin auras?

Even running with just 3 specters and 9 zombies with just discipline and hatred auras my clear speed seems stupid fast, I have the specters linked to: inc aoe, conc effect, added fire, minion damage and culling strike with most being 20/20 gems so the damage is superb. I have died more than I would like just playing around with it and going for max speed but I am also using curses and convo to direct my minions (basically sprinting from pack to pack cursing and convoying). I've played a CI summoner for so long and have gotten used to the 9k ES forgiveness it afforded but man the dps of dropping IIR/IIQ and using specters over zombies in the 6 link is addicting 😃. Just curious on your thoughts regarding running something similar as a CI build.

Thanks for the great guide.

I thought remote mine didn't work with minions anymore.
One of the changes for remote mine in 1.2 read "Trap and Mine damage bonuses now do not benefit minions cast through traps or mines."

It didn't specify that it only applied to the tree nodes, so I assumed it affected the gem as well.
Edit: Yes, checked again and it seems to be talking about the gems themselves not benefiting minions.

Double post...
