[1.0.1b] Summoner Guide / Minion Guide

hi, i don't know if this as asked/answered before but:

1.Do your passives increase the dmg of your spectres (Burning dmg/ Spell dmg)
2.does your gear have any affect on your spectres (e.g. searing touch-burning dmg ) or redbeak 100% dmg on low life
3.does the dmg of multiple "burning miscreations" stack?
4.how do they work with ele equilibrium? is it possible to make a use of it?

thx for relpy

Hi,

1. Only minion life passive node increase the BM damage output
2. 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.
3. No
4. 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.

hello some of them yes , but i think i ll translate some

1. no they dont increase unless its called "minion xxx"
nein spell dmg / burning dmg oder ähnliches erhöht nicht den damage den die minions machen ,

2. only summoner gear gives ur minions easy benifit.


nur summoner gear oder gear das auf der ersten seite unter "items" aufgeführt ist
bzw wenn es einen gem boosted boosted es auch das spectre wenn der gem verlinkt ist

Zb Searing touch , +2 fire gems , gib Raise Spectre und Fire penetration rein und der fire penetration wirkt auf das spectre .

mehr wen ich zhaus bin .

3.nein , dmg erhöhen von BMs mit Curses / Shock


THX to maxric u were a second faster :)

thx alot didnt thought of this myself that my minions cant trigger any skills i lvld. i know this but with EE it passed out of my mind :)

es funktioniert gut und es ist fast "notwendig" benutz es jedes mal wenn du einen dmg boost bruachst. cast einfach COLD oder LIGHTING rein und die mobs bekommen EE.
ganz wichtig
deine minions können EE NICHT aktivieren nur DU mit deinen spells kannst EE aktivieren.

I can recommend Merveil's Chosen as spectres (atleast at my lvl 55-60). Their freeze breath works really well together with zombies (and they cast a curse - vulnerability i believe). I think damage is ok (not on par with the best), but still nice and good with maybe frenzy ape or fireball bombing spectres.

tak for this spectre. i know this pretty good u should be merciless act 1 but i prefer the goats from rocky climbs (if a cruel spectre die) because they are also found in late game with lvl 67+


if u have a good GEM setup there is a "format" u can fill in with support gems. most of the time if someone post this there will be much input from other summoner AND i put in in page 1 asap :)

updatet FAQ ,

please post ur builds looking for some "common" builds for newbie help

If you wanna go hp with high armor and aura capacity. Using instant life flasks(boosted by passives) instead of a large effective life pool(mainly energy shield) to survive.

I love my summoner. My first and only char in merciless so far.

My only issue with summoner is that your minions don't use your IIR/IIQ, which I find really lame! It's really hard getting decent drops. Even with IIR on both zombies and Spectres I find drops lacking big time.

GGG should change that.

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/

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.

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.

minions do use your iiq/iir
