1.3 LL BM Summoner - Atziri viable on a budget (142k - 282k Single dps - 4link only - MF viable)
|
In Beyond atm i plan to ignore Minion Aegis and keep an ES shield and take Zealot's Oath as mentioned. Eye of Chu..smthing for avoiding stunlocks also seems necessary. (too bad we are very near to Unwavering but it will kill grace :/)
Also for beyond some chaos res. is kinda necessary as the beyonders with degen aura pop too often Also Elreon's -cost rings are a prefix if i am not very off, since we dont want much from ring prefixes they can make the no regen issue trivial. I am just 73 atm but i think this build will be viable for endgame maps, artizi is another story thou.. |

There are 2 changes id do for beyond, which are 1 use ephemeral edge ibstead of midnight bargain. Itll provide you with a substantial es increase while taking out the 30% life reserved, meaning that you dont suffer the low life vision without arcane vision and have enough unreserved to keep casting from your flasks, meaning you can pick up zealoth's oath. On the cost of taking this node u can take out points from aura's (champion of the cause here probably being te best option, but you should take a look at that yourself). 2: you should use a high es shield instead of NA, until you get shavs so you can actually use that ZO. I wouldnt replace sidhebreath for eye of chayula, since i never get into stunlocks and cant imagine anyone else actually dying to it. If you do choose for this, you should also use a dream fragments and fairgraves tricorn and cloak of flames because elemental status ailments kill me more, still little tho. Moreover, i believe that these changes are enough to keep you alive anyways.
Chaos res is not that hard to get btw with a shield, and for mana cost, the elreon rings arent worth the expense of having to craft them the hard way @neurik ill get to you when i get home in 6 hours, ill check it out later Ign: Leary_AscendedNecro

Having a blast using this build in Beyond so far at lvl 61. From the start decided to play as summoner as much as possible (vaal skeletons are great) and it was fun although had struggles with stronger mobs and beyond spawns until lvl ~52.
In cruel I had most success by using Devourers as my spectres, they shoot decent dmg projectiles(use lmp+faster casting support gems) and aren't glass cannons like miscreations or flame sentinels. Once i got to sceptre of god area, of course, undying evangelist are taking over the role. Vaal Skeletons are worth mention imo, even now in merciless they provide fairly good damage, short buff to your main minions and do really well against bosses(cruel dominus human phase was taken down in few seconds by them swarming him) or strongbox spawns. Also Vaal Discipline is very useful as ES 'insta potion' in bad situations. My auras atm: Grace,Purity of elements and Haste. Probably won't be ably to squeeze another one while using mana still. Approx, How much life/life regen should I get to be ready to use BM+midnight bargain+all important auras? Last edited by Taddis5#0970 on Oct 4, 2014, 5:15:26 PM

" Only 2 big upgrades/changes left: 1. Get vertex (high es, evasion, chaos res, and +1 to all) and a lvl 3 empower for the zombie links 2. Get a second unset and slot in arc, and pick up EE on the tree, also is a good skill to break pots with :P For the more minor changes: Craft %ES on your rings (this is a suffix) with elreon (i managed to put it on both of mine, so should be manageable Link increased duration with your evangelists instead of minion damage. Since they already have soo much increased damage (from the tree as minion damage, and from the shield + spell echo Q) its only a very small increase in damage, which is (imo) not worth losing the survivability of a close to double the duration of the shields For the rest you are doing great, ES sounds a bit low tho, but I guess thats a matter of picking up levels now?

Leary,
A few more questions, I worked a second unset into my gear, put arc into it and grabbed EE on the tree but I'm not sure I notice much of a difference in clear time? I'm a little unclear on the mechanics of EE since the specters are mostly physical damage, is the lightning from arc lowering mobs cold resist to the hatred aura? Just wondering if running both flesh and bone offering would be better. I'm still resisting slotting inc duration in my specters even though you stress it in multiple posts. I just don't find survivability to be a big issue yet even on high end maps. I almost would rather put in IIQ or empower 3 in over inc duration. Some random thoughts, thanks again Last edited by Neurik#5484 on Oct 6, 2014, 1:08:30 PM

" Inc duration is too valuable once youve started using it a lot. If you never used it, you shouldnt notice it that much that quick, especially not for maps. Its mainly atziri where youll notice For the EE and such, yes, its not noticeable that much, since you kill most white and blue mobs fast anyways, moreover, the lowering of resists is less effective on them, because the cold dmg already is pretty high they take. Where it matters is the bigger bosses like vaal, dominus, piety etc since they will take soo much more damage, because the difference between taking only a small part of the cold dmg or almost all of the cold damage is really noticable. Moreover, arc is quicker directing then auto-attack. for the offerings, you really only can use 1 at a time anyways, since the other one will dissappear once youve activated either of the offerings Ign: Leary_AscendedNecro

My setup so far at lvl 75 beyond league :
Spoiler
Far from good, since i started it out almost pantless. Also struggling to find good +2 minion helmet with significantly better ES than geofri crest. Still not using BM and running just haste, grace, purity of element auras. My current hp is ~ 800 and es ~1800. With discipline aura i'd have ~3.3k ES. LMP support for spectre is because I'm using flame sentinels. The clear speed of them is much better for now, without hatred aura, than evangelist and better range just gives me more safety. My skill try as of now:

Just finished body and soul circle and going for 'athletism' and remaining 'unnatural calm' circle nodes and maybe then go bm+mortal conviction(got 2 skill points unalocated for it after 'kill piety' quest). Leveling at white or easy blue maps, feel like could do much more if i wasn't so low on es and could run all the auras. |
