Lord of the Dead. (Witch Summoner Build) Updated 2.0 patch

Updated endgame skill tree with the advice from people in this thread :)

Cheers, BlacksheepNZ.

In your last link, under "Goal - Reworked with advice from people in this thread", you left off the Lord of the Dead talent.

honestly, I thought this was going to be a great farming/killing spec so I made a new char after getting my marauder to 70 and wish I would have kept with the marauder.

e:it's way to slow to kill, minions are so derpy, you basically have to get almost within melee range for them to attack (zombies)

imo its just way too slow, but i rolled the class purely for farming purposes since i'm not a huge fan of group play in this game (lag / amount of loot on screen)

e2:my gear/spec if anyone has any suggestion

Theirs your problem, not using the right spectres. Try adding Chaos Damage or Lesser or Greater projectile on your spectres. Remove minion life as they sit at the back and take no damage. Should read over the Spectre section.

very nice, envy your items.. :P

I am currently doing the same thing, does anyone know if crit chance support gems work on zombies/skeletons?

ya after a few upgrades and reaching solaris again it's pretty strong. where this character sucks actually is fellshire, the minions are terrible for sceptre so i hit a slump there and was getting frustrated, most of a2 has terrible mobs for sceptre.

I have a question, I just now have enough to afford a Midnight Bargain then I too will have every minion buffing unique in game (Once someone sells one :P). Though for future reference I am a Templar so we are a tad different.

My question is, does the 30% reserved life, and any additional reserved life, count toward the "On Low Life" Ability passive? If so it may be a huge boost to put something like Clarity or Purity linked to bloodmagic in sockets and take the 30% Spell Damage bonus from the passive near EB... Not only would you get additional auras for minions and yourself, but a pretty big buff to an already decent arc spam hybrid.

ATM im 67, have about 1000 HP and near 2k shield (should have more soon with some recent upgrades). I'm pretty much thinking that rolling high ES with most of my life reserved and having 30% spell damage may be icing on the cake, and then have a separate set of gems/wands for the rare(ish) occasions you meet up with Chaos mobs in maps.

Also, parties are dumb. I have cleared far more difficult maps solo in quicker time than I ever have in a party :P. ANd lag just the same in parties full of Marauders and Shadows... Less stupid deaths too...

Your not even using the core of the build which is the GMP + Minion Damage spectre. They rip things apart.


P.s. Am really liking your revised endgame build. In fact am prob going to go a similar if not the same route. Also why Did you drop Inner force? I find it pretty useful when am stacking auras

Nop, i think Chris mentioned this, "On Low Life", it's calculated from your maximum life, its the same with Chaos Inoculation.

I actually did some research myself and it turns out thats not true. It is for CI, but not reserved life. If you reserve 75%+ Of your HP you are then considered at low life, so yes it actually would work. I might pick up that talent then, since it is only 2 nodes away from my current build.
