1.3 LL BM Summoner - Atziri viable on a budget (142k - 282k Single dps - 4link only - MF viable)

I theorycrafted a build really similar too this before the beyond started, I ran pretty much every aura i had sockets for and casted of my tiny remaining life. As i got a big chunk of my ES from my shield and boots i cant imagine you getting very tanky with this build. Also CI buiilds that dont have any way of leeching life (trappers, summoners, totem characters) tend to really struggle against sustainded damage.

allready planned a variant where i actually attack, and the auras support both me and the minions. no more offerings and vaal auras however

Just one major change about the skill tree: I managed my points to a way that i could get Avatar of Fire and Elemental Equilibrium. Now its easy to single target bosses, and they get vulnerable to cold and lightning, saving one socket to anything that you wish to use.

I see, its a good thing for when you party a lot in non-burn party's, for the rest, if you find any skill other than arc easier to use, its probably a good point. Not that impactful of a downside either, since you dont use added fire. Think its a fine change

Never said im very tanky, but i dont take damage most of the times anyways so no need to be tanky. From the slot perspective, i dont think its possible to run enough auras to have both effecient minions and an effecient dmg skill yourself and i recommend choosing one. you can of course use just zombies as insane meat shields but at that point its prob better to use no minions and spent more skills into even more dmg and survivability. I have a Low life bm incinerater too, which is really tanky, and kind of approaches the same angle in terms of keystones but it doesnt use minions but insane leech with vaal pact (i can leech as much as my tooltip dps says so its pretty easy. 4k tooltip means 4k leech (leech gem, doryani's belt, promise and warlords on command, VP on gmp incinerate basically has a 40% effectiveness but adds all 5 projectiles which have a 4x multiplier on full stack, so you leech 40%x5x4=800% effectiveness, meaning you only need 12.5% leech to reach this. either promise or warlords puts you on this, just to give a good angle of how ES can be tanky. This build however is not build to take dmg, so I fully emphasize evading stuff and positional play

I feel like blind is a waste of a link on raise zombie. It is really hard to blind a target due to its small % chance and it simply does not provide enough defences considering that it will do nothing to casters, I feel like added fire, or minion life would be a better option.

one short question: does the level of the corpse matter? Iam not sure if it only influence specters or zombies or both ot nothin? :)
Thank you- I really appreciate your guide!

It doesn't matter for zombies.
It does matter for spectres (if you use desecrete to raise spectres pay attention to its level).

I dont obligate you using this, tho since im not only running atziri, but also have mainly problems with the more tanky attack based (exiles, bosses like precinct, dominus) stuff I really love it. The thing about the chance etc, the chance is bigger than you think, since you have 10 zombies who can blind on each attack, which is more than seems. Of course, something like faster attacks or melee splash could be just as good but just has a less specific use to it. My zombies are my tanks so I aimed for that.

@noobsta just for the spectres. Of course, there is also no reason of not leveling desecrate up since you can 1/20 it after you get it 20/0 if you dont need it for spectres.

Ok, so I've hit a pretty solid lvl (93), so I though it was time to try to do some culler job.
Here are my stats


My gear:


Things are working out fine. The BM helps a lot with the flask timing, I just have to use desecrate/flesh offering, use the flask and cast a curse (I'm using TC, but just because it is the higest lvl curse I got) non-stop.

On a related topic: what do you think about farming corrupted zones? Not for the midnight, but for the boss itself. Midnight just pays for the sacrifice frags used on the runs.

awesome build and awesome guide.currently doing ur build at lvl 60 need to buy midnight wand still. other than got every item i need.build going strong with blind gem really helpful.blind really helpful against physical hitters but against spell casters they casts spells at random direction so thats a tricky but other than its fantastic gem.thank u for helping others players who asks for ur help. i loved ur storm call build but the leech part and low es part alone was making me hesitant to build it and i think i dint see that build dint go for necroplois boss in that video.anyhow i got a 16q storm call dropped for me and the only build i find decent is ur build.hope to see more boss video of the build.hope to see more endgame budget builds from u and u have to do no death atri video .because u died to not moving fast i think .anyhow this guide is going to reach 200 cooments so get ready .can u post a video or give tips of how to control ur seceptres because mine always going man mode and the shield is no longer protecting me so its kind of sad for me.gl on ur journey.

Sweeeeeet cull

And yes, frag runs with cull are extremly potent on this build due to the sheer chain speed you can put out. Just run towards the boss, your minions kill everything onto there ans there youll pbliterate almost any boss. Tho a couple are nasty (mainly the aoe ones, like the disfused furnace one (stay under prox shields and you are fine) and stuff like entombed alcove (dont be near him when he dies, youll prob lose zombies no matter what you do there btw).
@gokulnath

Thnx for liking the build. As it seems now ill do a strong budget approach on the 1week/next league of a summoner, and with that will come a tutorial on how to position.

24% legacy sadimas or aurasize? and iiq gem over increased duration on spectres? should i cull with zombies instead spectres look so weak with mf gems
