[1.0.1b] Summoner Guide / Minion Guide

updated FAQ .

Hello,

FYI, i am actually using tabula rasa to raise my 6L BM and then i switch in town for a 5S/5L. The RS gem in the 5L armor is exactly at the same position. The level of the gem can be different (so you raise your spectre with the gem lvl 20 and you can swap with another RS gem that you wish to level up for example). It works.

What do you even do in a 6l bm lol. I don't see any useful supports past 5 links.

everthing :)

1Raise Spectre
2Incr Burning
3Minion Life
4 Incr Area
5 Life leech
6 multi strike



or if u use the unite swap incr area with minion resist or if u only have a green one faster atks . minion speed - they will stick at ur position and leech first with meelee before the zombies are there and block them.

and another question does anyone have used
Galvanic Ribbons and have some information there


another question is with the skill "necromantis aegis"
does the "converted to fire dmg" apply to the zombies then? and will it get the elemental reduction?

I just do,

RS, minion life, minion res, minion life, burning damage

i just spam my 3 animation flasks constantly for the regen.

I use Necromanic Aegis, all mods from your shield apply to your minions so they will get the converted fire damage mod. I use an Archon Kite Shield with +40% implicit/explicit all res + 21% chaos res, with that + vitality my minions/spectres are ultra tanky.

I also used the galvanic ribbons as spectres for a short while and wasn't very impressed, but my gem setup might have been the issue, hard to say.

Classic combo :

- RS
- Minion life
- Increase burning damage
- increase AOE
- minion speed
- minion resistance

Minion speed is optionnal. Its just because i have 6 slots to fill up ! I wish item rarity could work but... One kill is one kill. Why does it not work for BM ? If there is a god called GGG, please ear us !

the fire dmg was more for dmg output for zombies
thinking of

Raise zombie
Ele Prof
Chance to ignite
Minioner dmg /remote mine / Melee Phys Dmg

i dont know if weapon elemtal dmg works since they attack unarmed and the game knows the difference seen at facebreaker :)

do u remember at the galvanic ribbons which support gems u used?

the rarity for bm dont work cuz its a DOT
but i think its only for the item rarity gem cuz its a "on hit" gem
since u get flask charges from the aura - the rarity from the items should work.


Matt Some terror Craft For Zombie Dmg output please :) u looove the zombies.

one of the 2 Unique , and the Shield with Necro Aegis , i dont own neither in HC if someone can check that out would be epic :)

That should be a nice zombie setup with chernobog's + NA. Pretty sure weapon elemental won't work for the reason you said but there are a few "more" modifier gems that will.

IIR/IIQ gems do not work with DOT kills but all of the quantity/rarity affixes on your gear do work with them.

Galvanic setup was RS/ele prolif/increased crit chance/minion damage I think.

Cruel BM vs merci hillock

RSP + none

run 1: 45 secs


RSP + iron will

run 1 : 44 secs

wording of iron will
"strengths dmg bonus applies to spell damage as well for supported skills.


wording righous fire
FIRE , SPELL , AOE


support gem doesnt show up at RF tooltip.

Fazit : Rightous fire is a little bit "strange wording"
the dmg are Burning / Fire / DOT

RF DMG will be increased ONLY from DOT BURNING and HP support gems.


note to myself - the BMs meelee is SLOOOWER as hell - lifeleech will only work with atk speed. maybe drop 1 dmg gem for surv
Multistrike and life leech dont stack , which i mean only 1 of the 3 hits will leech.
trying faster attks , seems very good at the zombies for lazieness :)


and i checked the galvanic ribbons - they suck.
I tried every combination for shock stacks. prof , crit , chain , power charge.
they do shock but the problem is their spell - the shock duraion is zero.

its a "mini lighting machine gun" which hits with no dmg :/ AND the recast time is slow as a snail. even with faster cast. so they cant shock decent.

still searching a new lighting mob. thinking of the "leap goats" from mountain ledge with incr crit again. but they are meelee and will get toasted i fear
