[1.0.1b] Summoner Guide / Minion Guide

If you want to play that degen style, try using burning miscreations they weren't nerfed.

To keep them alive make sure you use minion life +



combo(my sidhe could be a better roll =( anyone have a 15%hp one i can buy?)

Like you mentioned bears were superior b/c their auras were on all the time and they melee attack often giving them high survivability with life steal + splash. u gotta make do with the gimpy burning miscreations. and use life totem, flasks to keep them alive.

Its a unique summoner style(degening) I prefer to stick to my titty-bitches I just love their AOE destruction which really helps when farming maps.

Currently playing BM + arc mage (2 spectres only)
Today I just did solo Canyon lvl 73 map, rare, +93 quantity (quite hard modes)
These 2 guys wiped the floor, even the boss had no chance (sniper, chaos dmg, puncture, multiple proj, etc etc)

My setup (5L) is:
BM: RS - AOE - Multistrike - Life Leech - Inc burning dmg - (minion life waiting for 6L)
Arc mage: RS - Faster cast - Inc crit strike - Ele proliferation - Life leech - (minion life waiting for 6L)

I had to switch to arc mage due to the upcoming nerf to the shaggy bears

Curses: vulnerability + enfeeble ( enfeeble mostly for me =D )
Auras: all but hatred (running 3 auras on life with prism guardian)
EE with ice spear+gmp totem
Necromantic aegis!

Btw the zombies also are uber deadly with multistrike - added fire dmg - remote mine

mmmm I like that. Now we don't even need the bones of ullr(a really shitty piece defensive wise)

Your BM does percentage damage

While your arc mage shocks for you

that is so clever IDK why i didn't think of that.

Id do elemental weakness + firepen or do you think that 40% boost from vulnerability tops that?Since it serves the dual purpose of degen and enhancing zombies.

I still like my Mstrike, Faster attack, Melee splash zombies

Damn you balaat good idea. Time to spend like 50 chromes on my chest.

Just wish to address how wonderful is the summoner, one of the most flexible class in the game, mixing and matching of spectras are just so fun and gives lot of great counters to all every maps that you play.

Just wondering, what the best spectra you think for running Lunaris effectively and fastest?

Right now a burning miscreation + chaos degen bear from Waterfall 1. After Monday's patch (nerfing the degen bear), Baalat's setup a few posts up is what I'm using.

Thank,

Can anyone confirm bm aura does not stack? Why do i always feel i kill slower with 1 bm compare to 3 bm? Or just my imagination?

And i tried Arc mage (from the barrack right?), but they seem weak, why are they good pair with bm?

Thank

The auras don't stack. The barracks arc mages are more of a utility choice instead of a high damage dealer. They do a decent job of proliferating shocks (one of the relatively few ways to boost the damage of unrighteous fire) and throw up lighting thorns around your totems/zombies/skellies from time to time. Not nearly as OP as the chaos bears to be sure.

What do you guys think about the frenzy gorilla?

any other support/utility spectres u guys can think of?

Halebop, how do you feel about Increased AoE + Ele Prolif on Burned Miscreations?

what exactly would the ele pro do for the BM's?
