[HC 2.3] Necromancer Animate Weapon Atziri viable
|
OK... First question:
Why not SRS ? R:SRS is strong too, but i want something new, and i dont want cast every time when i see a monster, so i chose animate weapon. Why did you choose Animate Weapon? PROS: >The most part of time you can play with only 1 hand. >Is very good to play with party. >Is not a expensive build to begin. >Is safe, very safe, because the weapons can protect you against projectiles and you dont need to be a "summoner melee", you only need to think about where are you character.  CONS: >You always need to keep some weapons in your inventory. >Use your convocation with wisdom, the weapons are not tank, and can die easily for burst dmg(like Atziri's Flame Blast). >take care about Beyond, the first mob is easy, but the general and abaxoth, can kill your weapons instantly if you dont have luck. LETS GO TO THE BUILD

Passive Tree
Stats
Gear
This is a hybrid build, so we are looking for life and es, and resist, and the staff is very good and very cheap because of +2 minion and duration from zombies
Animate Weapon Links
I have only 5 links and for boss u can change Spell Totem for Multistrike When i get 6 link i will use (for maps) Animate Weapon - Weapon Elemental Damage - Minion Damage - Melee spash - Spell Totem - Elemental Focus And for boss Animate Weapon - Weapon Elemental Damage - Minion Damage - Empower(lv3 or 4) - Multistrike - Elemental Focus
Aura setup
Anger and Wrath its better for Animate Weapon than Anger and Hatred because the weapons dont have a good physical dmg. If you dont have Enlighten, you can use this: its cheapest and its good for begin.
Curse on hit setup
This build have Elemental Equilibrium, because of this i use freezing pulse, for EE
Jewels
I have more life than ES, so im looking for minion dmg and life
Loot Filter
Just ctrl c, and ctrl v this in your filter (the white daggers will appears blue because it occupies only 3 slots in your inventory, and you can save one or two for the next map) Show Rarity Normal Class "Daggers" Sockets <= 5 LinkedSockets <= 4 Quality <= 19 ItemLevel <= 99 SetTextColor 255 255 255 SetBorderColor 0 0 0 SetBackgroundColor 25 85 255 SetFontSize 42 Show Rarity Normal Class "Claws" "Staves" "Two Hand" "Sceptres" "One Hand" Sockets <= 5 LinkedSockets <= 4 Quality <= 19 ItemLevel <= 99 SetTextColor 255 255 255 SetBorderColor 0 0 0 SetBackgroundColor 160 0 0 SetFontSize 42 LEVELING GUIDE
How do i start whit Passive Tree?
First you need follow the minion dmg nodes, but pick all life nodes near to it before get other minion dmg node, you will only take the ES nodes when you have 3500~3800 HP
Leveling skill
you will use SRS with this: your links shoud be SRS - Minion DMG - Melee Spash and for Boss shoud be SRS - Minion DMG - Melee Physical DMG So... when u get lv 45~55 you can change to a staff +2 5l if you want. Gems for maps SRS - Minion DMG - Melee Spash - Spell Echo - Melee Physical DMG For boss SRS - Minion DMG - Multistrike - Spell Echo - Melee Physical DMG
When i finally change SRS to Animate Weapon?
You can do it on Merciless, or act4 Cruel, but i prefer on Merciless because of the quantity of white itens that drop, and you can only animate identified items.

Hey I just wanted you to know I've been enjoying this build, with essence you can get a bit more bang out your buck by putting the Aura setup on the helm since you can get a small amount of reduced reservation cost from the essence any you only use four anyways.
