[1.0.1b] Summoner Guide / Minion Guide
|
This is a Minion Guide, u wont get tips to ur Summoner Build (so far) so every Summoner can take a look and post a Information because this guide is NOT a "build" its more collected information for lazieness :)
Support Gems vary very much from the creature you Spectre .You should have at least alot of Different support gems. like minion dmg and !!! every support gem you think fit the situation!!! Keep them in ur invent if something dies at Maps and u need to Respec. I ll exclude Rarity and Quantity support gems. ITEM SECTION in post nr2 lack of space :) FAQ - Frequently Asked Question - Häufige Fragen
Spoiler
1.Which mobs to spectre?
Spoiler
God Tier ~ Flame Sentinel -Akt 3, Solaris Temple 1/2/3 ~ Void Bearer - Akt 3, Docks ~ Carrion Queen - Akt 3 Marketplace/sarn slums ~ Burning Miscreation - Lunaris Tempel lvl 2 - 3 ~ Tentacle Miscreation - Luncaris Tempel lvl 2-3 Shit Tier ~ everthing else 2. I cant target my Spectre I have Sometimes 2 same and 1 other spectre How can i target a corpse ? with they key "A" Press A and hover over the mob u want to spectre. if there is a big group first corpse target other mobs and make zombies and then if u have the right use spectre 3. My Spectre keeps dying all the time. I loose my spectre all the time. Try Life Leech is one of the best Spectre support gems in my opinion thx to budget player cadet who suggested the gem 4. Necro Aegis ? passive skill tree point which gives all shield bonus to the spectre recomended 24+ all resi shield , springleaf unique , the unique one i think? some summoner use this. in HC u sometimes need the shield buff / resi / armor / max life. u can recast a zombie , but u cant resurect urself back into HC :) 5.My Minions dont attack enemys at the screenedge. My Minions only attack 1 time and run back to me(AFK MINIONS) your Zombie / Spectre wait for ur action. If u do a "channel" action like firestorm they only run forward to hit 1 time and come back. Activate ur minions with active spells which need to be recast the whole time. Arc, Ice Spear , Fireball ,Ranged/Meelee Attack, Curses will all activate ur minions. 6.Can i spectre a BOSS mob /Champion? Is it usefull? Yes u can spectre a bossmob and it will gain the lvl bonus +2lvl for bosses so its very good to find a boss spectre or champion to spectre. But it will loose all additives it had before (life regen , haste aura , dmg reflect , multiple projectiles) -7.Remote Mine? Buffs the Dmg of "Spell/caster" spectres , or nearly every spectre but NOT DOTS!!!! so far. means no use at Burning Miscreation , Undying Alchemist , Chaos Bear 8.ITEM SWAP ? Forum Question If I raise a minion with Midnight Bargain and then swap weapons, does the minion retain +minion damage and speed from Midnight Bargain? Yes it will Remain , Same for Every Unique Minion Item. 9.I Have troubles to LVL as True Summoner to lvl 40. There are 2 Ways NO ITEM REQUIRED FOR THIS First and i think the faster way is Freezing Pulse/Fireball Kombo until lvl 25 than u can start to spectre the Big Fire Bugs at "sarn slums" act 3 with the Projectile from ur Fireball / FP (lvld the third summoner in no time) Second Way I read somth about Life Gain on Hit on the Zombies. Merevil can drop +1 Minion helmet with 3 socket. Helps alot. Its not easy i did it with my second HC summoner and was slow. (y i had a 3 link +1 minion helm lvl 15 or so.) 10.MINION INSTABILITY Shall i take Minion Instability ? There is a split opinion in the forum. With the right item u can boost zombies to around 22k HP. with the right support gem u can boost the explosion as well. Helps ALOT at boss fights. It depends on ur playstyle how lazy u are to recast stuff. 11.I have Troubles with Maps. Loosing Spectres all the Time. See "MAP SECTION" below 12.There are so much Curses which one do i Use? Depends on Playstyle and Spectre but Vuln helps the zombies and the dogs / BM . Elemental Weakness helps every elemental spectre. Fire Curse - Good for Flame sentinels for the ingition. Enfeeble will keep them alive :) 13.Do your passives increase the dmg of your spectres (Burning dmg/ Spell dmg) ???? . Only minion life passive node and minion dmg (and specific minion nodes) nodes effect the spectre /zombies. All other (Burning dmg / fire dmg / spell dmg / physical dmg) will NOT effect any minion. 14.does your gear have any affect on your spectres (e.g. searing touch-burning dmg ) or redbeak 100% dmg on low life ??? Yes, only items that increase minion life (chober, sidebreath). Use them when you raise your spectres as its a snapshot. Even if you remove your weapon or you ramu after, the life bonus will still exist. And if the unique himself had "has added XX support gem" for example thunderfists "gems in this item has added lighting dmg lvl 18" so it will be added to. overview of these items below 15.does the dmg of multiple "aura dot dmg" stack? (3 burning miscreation will not , 3 chaos bear will not) No , but 1 Burning Miscreation , 1 Chaos Bear will "stack" because its a different AURA DOT DMG! 16.how do they work with ele equilibrium? is it possible to make a use of it? It works fine and i find that it's a must have. Use it every time you need a boost in damage. Simply cast a cold or lightning spell on a boss or on a rare mob; at this very moment, EE is up and the burning damage is increased. Cold snap or shock nova are just fine. What is important to understand is that its not because the mob is within the BM's fire aura that EE is up and the mob gains +25% fire resistance. No. The only person that can trigger EE is you and not your minion. Its one of your cold or lightning spell that will trigger EE. 17. Snapshot Cast a Spectre with some Unique item Bonus (incr minion dmg) and swap the item afterwards the bonus will still stay at the spectre. Same for Support Gems. If this thread gets a Sticky i ll delete this information ;) 18. Do Minions use my IIR / IIQ from my items? AND OR my gems? Yes, they do use your IIR/IIQ, and, if applicable, linked IIR/IIQ gems. See here: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/42535/highlight/ IIR/IIQ on your character does apply to minion kills. Their kills counts as yours hence u get flask charges. Try running with a dedicated group. The increased quantity will let u see a lot more drops. Kills via damage over time (e.g. the burning degen aura of burned miscreations) do not benefit from IIR/IIQ gems, though that issue is not limited to minions. ty to dessloc and mattc for decent english :) for general info MOBS WHICH SEEM TO CAST - WHICH RLY DO A AUTO MEELEE / RANGED attack voidbreaders - the flames are spells carrion queen - the fireball is Ranged attack Cinder elementals - the rolling is Melee attack Undying Incinerator - the fireball is Ranged attack ancient construct - the chaos arrows are spells undying alchemist - the chaos ball is Ranged attack ZOMBIES

They have a lil "superman" aura , everthing inside stays pretty much unharmed . They rly cast very fast (like flame sentis). *note* I think with 1.0 they took away a little Cast speed of the flame sentinels Since they make physical dmg , we take "ethernal knives" as spell we want to push. So added Fire dmg/ remote mind / minion dmg will push their dmg. Faster Cast , Concentrated Effect. MAYBE - and its a big maybe - added chaos dmg for a wierd dmg output.

They have a decent DMG output and cast rly fast. My Personal Favourite since they survive a pretty long time. As long as no Chaos is near. recomended from alot of people around the forum. with very varius support gems. The showing support Gems is for Maximum Dmg output im always open for suggestions , the HP was calculated with a regen totem so its not accurate but its more numbers than "poof" and he is dead :) they have energy shield as well but i dont know how much. with life leech u can take them to the next difficulty stage normal to cruel - cruel to merciless - merciless to maps . at Maps life leech is essential . some information they are floating but will die with "ground fire" when cast from cinder elementals check the video below . and they are big for indoor maps -> didnt checked it further which will fit better for maps input appreciatet Checkked again faster cast has not so much effect on them . since all are happy with burning zombies and they do already have burning my personal setup ist 2-life leech 3-remote mine 4-Minion dmg the crit isnt worth it :) "20 seconds piety setup" mine has spectre 2-remote mine 3- concentrated 4- cullingstrike 5- miniondmg 6-fire pen thx to couscou http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuDJT3PAi6Q ___________________________________________________________________ ~Burned Miscreation [Framerate drop factor: None]

Very common in Lunaris Temple lvl 2/3 Attack/spell: Melee/Caster/Aoe/Fire Behaviour : Like Zombies , same "aggro" range . But not the same amount hp. Survivability: Between Zombie /seklis Attack/Cast Speed : Medium Melee Attack, Cast is 1 time. Damage Output :unknown , i can watch the enemy die. Curses: Flammability , Ele Weaknes, Conductivity , Vuln , Def Curses : Enfeeble Temporal Chains Support Aura: Vitality , Discipline , Purity Description / Info / Personal Feeling Fire Aura Activation : If they are blocked and have enemys on Screen they will start burning. If u cast a Passive Skill they are "more likeley" to start burn. I had VERY good xp with Rejen Totem. Just cast it ALLL the time if the first mob group comes. instead of a curse and or atk. im 100% sure at least 1 is burning afterwards. Update 28.8 Also Immortal Call , Endurance Cry and !!! OUT OF SIGHT!!! helps. they dont need to be out of sight. just hide behind a tree / corner and shoot 1-3 times on the ground (arc/fireball) Curse : Vuln is the prefered curse if u only use 1 , it helps the life leech , and the aura gem.So its the best Def/off curse cuz it benefits the zombies as well. ______ Since they are tested atm, and frequently mentioned we need to boost their Surv and Dmg. Good way so far is add lighting dmg "shock stacks = +40% dmg" which can be achieved very easy with Blackguard Mages, they cast ARC. A Reccomended Forum Setup atm is 1 BM with 1 LMage Use Conductivity to get more Shocks from the LMages. Also Vuln helps their burning dmg and alot of info which is mentioned in the "infos" above. OLDINFO but still RIGHT info ! They cast unrighteous fire which is different then righteous fire. They do not deal damage to them selves and it seems to deal a percentage based damage. With elemental weakness things die VERY fast and another flammability curse means things die almost instantly. These guys are my NUMERO UNO. Their damaging aura can go through walls. | Use elemental weakness + Flammability/Vulnerability(burn dot) | OLDINFO Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQyB9HJZKrA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxsAMkYhUDE TAG TEAM SPECTRE Baalat Tag Team setup Arc mage: 1RS 2- Faster cast 3- Inc crit strike 4- Ele proliferation 5- Life leech 6- (minion life waiting for 6L) HaleJesus Tag Team Setup MYSELF!!!

Fire Penetration (if you're not EE/Flammability ready)/Minion Life/Increased Area of Effect/Concentrated Effect (Any of the above are decent; I'd opt for minion life personally, as I'm specced to subtract over 140 fire res from the nastier mobs and these guys do a LOT of damage) x. Support Gem Place reserved. Stats Time to get: 5-8 mins. Get them from Marketplace; Marketplace doesn't have those stupid snakes on them (and has a higher level). They aren't exactly swarming, but shouldn't be hard to find or kill. Attack/spell: Big ass fireballs from a very impressive range Ranged/Projectile/Attack Behaviour : Slow, will attack from almost any range (seriously, these things have HUGE range) and commonly not move until enemy is dead. Survivability: Best in the game/tied with Flame Sentinels. These things have a massive amount of life. Slap them with life leech and put up Vitality and you might end up losing them to chaos snakes and ridiculously hard-hitting unique bosses; that's pretty much it. Attack/Cast Speed : Medium-Fast Damage Output: High. Not as good as incinerators or chaos voidbearers, but still good enough to clear rooms with scary speed. Curses: Support Auras : vitality Description / Info / Personal Feeling Big bessies are not optimal for tight map crawls like Crypt or Dungeon. What they are optimal for is pretty much everything else. Their damage is off the charts, they live forever with a life leech gem, and their fat abdomen will draw a lot of fire (although you still want to put your more expendable minions in front of them whenever possible). Support: Vitality Aura (1% of whatever obscene amount they have is a lot of health to get back per second), Flammability, Elemental Weakness, Elemental Equilibrium Lightning/Cold damage. *quote Budget_player_cadet* ______________________________________________________________________________ ~ Lightning Banners /Galvanic Ribbons [Framerate drop factor: Low]

Survivability: Zombie Like Attack/Cast Speed: Medium grows to very fast. They need a lil warm up for their spells. Damage Output: Medium - not tested enough Curses: Use elemental weakness + Conductivity Description / Info / Personal Feeling They cast channeled lightning and combined with faster casting and haste they cast VERY fast. So fast it can virtually stun lock white mobs. They have an energy shield and are quite tanky. They can also spread shock charges. With chain their spell range is quite far hitting things off screen. *quote mattc3303* __________________________________________________________________________ ~Udying Alchemist (chaos thrower) [Framerate drop factor: high ]

Gems 1. Raise Spectre x. Minion Life x. GMP x. Culling Strike x. Faster Attacks x. Increased AOE/Faster Projectiles Stats Time to get 2-6 mins - Sewers Aqueduct (easy acces both from Barracks WP and Warehouses aqueduct WP) Attack/Spell : It has 2 attacks. Projectile itself deals damage, and it spreads AoE DoT on hit. We, however, are focused on DoT damage, as it seems to be way superior. Behaviour : Pretty much like Flame Sentinels. Moreover, you can let them throw their bombs and then just run away, letting DoT do its job. Survivability: Between Zombies and Skeletons Attack/Cast Speed : Medium Damage Output: Well, since you mostly rely on DoT, it hard to compare them to other mobs. They definetely arent as fast as Fire Sentinels / TittyBitches. Still, i had no problem clearing 67-68 maps with them. Support Auras : vitality Description / Info / Personal Feeling This is my absolutely top choice for interiors. They clear them fast, easy, with no clumping behind the walls, and they are more sustainable then burned miscreations. If you can get those off some map - grab them and go clear catacombs. *quote Zenhayaraxermaar* ______________________________________________________________________ ~Ancient construct [Framerate drop factor:low]

I disagree with a couple of things here.
First and foremost, this really shouldn't be controversial, the must-have specs for voidbearers do not include minion damage; rather your priority should be 1. GMP 2. Added Chaos 3. Minion Damage/Faster Projectiles Minion damage is awesome, but GMP is absolutely mandatory for good AOE damage output, and a high-level Added Chaos Damage makes their power skyrocket in a completely unreasonable manner. I basically watched Prison Incarcerator melt in a matter of 3 seconds. I was at level 62 at the time. Shit was hilarious. Beyond that, I really like Faster Projectiles - the quality version is awesome, and it turns the flamethrower into a giant monstrosity of an AOE attack. Second, you really understimate the value of a Life Leech gem. Especially in maps, or longer dungeons without stellar mobs (like, say, Merciless Chamber of Sins - there is nothing worth having in there, it takes forever, and the refresh time is so short that you don't want to be leaving to get more spectres in Cruel A3), you don't want to lose spectres, and survivability has to be a factor. Life Leech won't make Tittybitches or Voidbearers that much less fragile, but it will ensure that glancing blows won't add up without leaving you waiting around for Vitality to do its job. Speaking of survivability... You really overestimate the utility of tittybitches, incinerators, and burned miscreations - the former two are incredibly fragile, and the burneds are melee mobs and thus not liable to last very long due to their dumb AI - once the mobs stop melting, they start dying. Meanwhile, you underestimate what may be the best mob in the game - the Carrion Queen. Slow? Yeah. Clunky in small spaces? Never, EVER run a Spider's Nest map with these things. However, the live forever. They have the highest base life of almost any mob, do stupid damage with GMP, and vitality+life leech means they can facetank forever. If you plan on running a fairly open map like Strand or Dried Lake, they are without a doubt the best mobs to have if you don't wanna go running back for more, and they murder everything.

It's worth noting that regen totem is extremely useful. Obviously place it when running between groups of mobs and if you're fighting when it skele totem isn't needed.
The best 2 specters to get are flame sentinel and carrion queen, imo, for 3 reasons....easy to get, high dps and decent survivability. I personally prefer the sentinels because they are faster and seem to position much better. |

MATT C Setup 1- Raise Spectre 2- Increased Burning Damage 3- Minion Life 4- Minion Res 5- Increase AOE 6- Minion Speed Suicigobo setup 1- Raise spectre 2- Increased burning damage 3- Increased minion life 4- Increased minion and totem elemental resistance 5- Increased Area of effect I run a 4 link which is surely viable. A 5-link will greatly help tho Baalat My setup (5L) is: BM: 1- RS 2- Increased AOE 3- Multistrike 4- Life Leech 5- Inc burning dmg 6- (minion life waiting for 6L) HaleBopp / HaleJesus ingame Setup 4 Link atm Blue Blue Red Red 1- RS 2- Incr Burn 3- Minion Life 4- Life Leech 5- multistrike / faster atk/ Minion Resi / Incr Area (ill check minion speed if it helps for LL) 6- xxx unknown terror meelee splash for more LL , Minion Speed for Meelee Atk I Need to test their Meelee survivability but lacking the right colours and 1 multi strike gem for HC. DONT FORGET THEY ARE MEELEE ATTACKERS AND HIT LIKE TRUCKS without support gems. i get around 500 - 800 dmg at merciless with granite on 11000 armor i ll update more info Time to get 2-5 mins. Very common in Lunaris Temple lvl 2/3 Attack/spell: Melee/Caster/Aoe/Fire Behaviour : Like Zombies , same "aggro" range . But not the same amount hp. Survivability: Between Zombie /seklis Attack/Cast Speed : Medium Melee Attack, Cast is 1 time. Damage Output :unknown , i can watch the enemy die. Curses: Flammability , Ele Weaknes, Conductivity , Vuln , Def Curses : Enfeeble Temporal Chains Support Aura: Vitality , Discipline , Purity Description / Info / Personal Feeling Since they are tested atm, and frequently mentioned we need to boost their Surv and Dmg. Good way so far is add lighting dmg "shock stacks = +40% dmg" which can be achieved very easy with Blackguard Mages, they cast ARC. A Reccomended Forum Setup atm is 1 BM with 1 LMage Use Conductivity to get more Shocks from the LMages. Also Vuln helps their burning dmg and alot of info which is mentioned in the "infos" above. OLDINFO but still RIGHT info !!!!!!! They cast unrighteous fire which is different then righteous fire. They do not deal damage to them selves and it seems to deal a percentage based damage. With elemental weakness things die VERY fast and another flammability curse means things die almost instantly. These guys are my NUMERO UNO. Their damaging aura can go through walls. | Use elemental weakness + Flammability/Vulnerability(burn dot) | OLDINFO Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQyB9HJZKrA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxsAMkYhUDE TAG TEAM SPECTRE Baalat Tag Team setup Arc mage: 1RS 2- Faster cast 3- Inc crit strike 4- Ele proliferation 5- Life leech 6- (minion life waiting for 6L) ****************** Unknown Support Gems x.

Hope we can fusion at another spectre when the nerf is coming :) thx for your response , to the voidbreader u can see there is a X so it should be - what ever u want to have not in a specific row . if u like 1.raise spectre x.gmp x.added chaos x.minion damag then make it this way, btw i ll setup every gem after the first as X now - i thought about this while writing but didnt thought someone will hang in the "specific combination" thx for this hint. first gem should always be 1. Raise Spectre so u need at least a 4 link at ur specific setup- since its a guide , new player should know about the first gem spot .Maybe some people only think about playing a necro . and i have to thank you again - i nearly forget life leech :) i ll add it in asap. again since its a guide it should have full information and i appreciate every information or game experience in any stages of the game. in the last section i wrote about maps and my actual game status - if the post is too long read it again :) *the edited version i hope it will fit everbodys needs and expectations* im happy for every usefull information about maps and the guide isnt finished yet - i can post a "form" so everbody can type in his favourite mob. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0ArsB7KohOhhpdHoyZzU2WVZZNXQxMDg4MVk1b0FGbkE&f=true&noheader=false&gid=1 Witch : HaleJesus LVL 82 Arc Summoner SpectreGuide: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/292391/page/1 pls forgive my gibberish space orc english - its not my native language Last edited by HaleBopp#0969 on Nov 16, 2013, 2:23:55 PM

" I guess, but in most cases there are simply really optimized combinations that you should go for in pretty much every case - at least for the first 2-3 gems. With the voidbearers, the order is clear: Raise Specter -> GMP/LMP -> Added Chaos -> other stuff. It's not usually quite this clear-cut, but sometimes it is. " Honestly, I'd say that as a summoner, a 5L Chest should take precedence over pretty much any other piece of gear, save perhaps for the Bones. It's the difference between a build that's solid and a build that can carry a whole party through high-level maps. " I have some stuff to say about maps as well, from my experience being and partying with a high-level necro. " Good idea. Here's mine, in the format above: Carrion Queen [Framerate drop factor: Medium] 1. Raise Spectre 2. GMP 3. Life Leech 4. Minion Damage 5. Faster Attacks/Faster Projectiles (Pick one; I really like quality projectiles myself; the range is ridiculous) 6. Fire Penetration (if you're not EE/Flammability ready)/Minion Life/Increased Area of Effect/Concentrated Effect (Any of the above are decent; I'd opt for minion life personally, as I'm specced to subtract over 140 fire res from the nastier mobs and these guys do a LOT of damage) Time to get: 5-8 mins. Get them from Merc Marketplace; Marketplace doesn't have those stupid, stupid, stupid snakes on them (and has a higher level). They aren't exactly swarming, but shouldn't be hard to find or kill. Attack/spell: Big ass fireballs from a very impressive range Behaviour : Slow, will attack from almost any range (seriously, these things have HUGE range) and commonly not move until enemy is dead. Survivability: Best in the game/tied with Flame Sentinels. These things have a massive amount of life. Slap them with life leech and put up Vitality and you might end up losing them to chaos snakes and ridiculously hard-hitting unique bosses; that's pretty much it. Attack/Cast Speed : Medium-Fast Damage Output: High. Not as good as incinerators or chaos voidbearers, but still good enough to clear rooms with scary speed. Big bessies are not optimal for tight map crawls like Crypt or Dungeon. What they are optimal for is pretty much everything else. Their damage is off the charts, they live forever with a life leech gem, and their fat abdomen will draw a lot of fire (although you still want to put your more expendable minions in front of them whenever possible). Support: Vitality Aura (1% of whatever obscene amount they have is a lot of health to get back per second), Flammability, Elemental Weakness, Elemental Equilibrium Lightning/Cold damage.

Bazinga as i mentioned its for every player state . please dont think always in merciless could be frighten new players . for the maps part . i have the feeling at the end/unique boss (i wrote it down but didnt do alot maps yet) there are always the same creatures . or sometimes usefull creatures so far i got dunes map - merivil chosen 2 times made my map 2 times merivil chosen always at the end , and necros. dried lake 3 times - always new mobs Witch : HaleJesus LVL 82 Arc Summoner

" I'm not convinced that this is the case.

I rly like the guide, plenty of useful information here.
I disagree about your chaos thrower description. Heres how i would do it. Udying Alchemist (chaos thrower) [Framerate drop factor: medium ] 1. Raise Spectre 2. Minion Life 3. GMP 4. Culling Strike 5. Faster Attacks 6. Increased AOE/Faster Projectiles/Item Rarity/Item Quantity More detailed support gem info: First of all, Minion Damage doesnt affect DoT damage (and projectiles dont seem to do much dmg on their own), so we dont include it. GMP dmg penalty affects only projectile, so you dont have to worry about lower dps. Culling Strike and Faster Attacks dont rly need explanation I dont have any good idea for sixth gem. You could add any of those, but you dont rly need them. Time to get 2-6 mins - Sewers Aqueduct (easy acces both from Barracks WP and Warehouses aqueduct WP) Attack/Spell : It has 2 attacks. Projectile itself deals damage, and it spreads AoE DoT on hit. We, however, are focused on DoT damage, as it seems to be way superior. Behaviour : Pretty much like Flame Sentinels. Moreover, you can let them throw their bombs and then just run away, letting DoT do its job. Survivability: Have no idea about their hp, but they seem be quite sustainable Attack/Cast Speed : Medium Damage Output: Well, since you mostly rely on DoT, it hard to compare them to other mobs. They definetely arent as fast as Fire Sentinels / TittyBitches. Still, i had no problem clearing 67-68 maps with them. Description / Info / Personal Feeling This is my absolutely top choice for interiors. They clear them fast, easy, with no clumping behind the walls, and they are more sustainable then burned miscreations. If you can get those off some map - grab them and go clear catacombs.
