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.

Well that makes me very happy - that it indeed is supposed to be like that, but I must say I find drops rather low if that is really the case. I guess I will just need to stack up more on the IIQ/IIR then :)

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!


this is not true

well some of it is BC can stack but u have to get them at diff lvls or diff damages
so i revive 3 with chober then swap to midnight for 4th and you will see 2 fire balls burning above the guys assuming the BCs are close to mob.

hi!

i love zombies and dont want to change spectres all the time i heard of burning zombie builds but couldnt find THAT much.

Did someone try and can give me advice?:

6-L zombies: multistrike (increased burning dam), added fire, ele prof, chance to ignite, remote mine (aoe and single should be fine)

4-L 2-3 x blackguard mages: ele prof, faster cast, life leech (dunno if they have enough hp without lifeleech)

4-L 0-1 x frenzy gorillas

would this be a fast solid and big damage end game setup or back to spectre build?

Thanks for ur answers

regards

From what I have read:
The degen from bears and from burning miscreations does stack because they are completely different. The degen from the bears is chaos damage and goes right through energy shield, while the degen from the miscreations has to first go through the ES.

The 2 fireballs may show up, but only the stronger miscreation degen will take affect.

hey okta there are alot of usefull combination with zombies. mattc is very specialized in them but im always up for therory craft :)


in MattC guide he is using 4 link +2 helmet with

Raise Zombie
MultiStrike
Faster Atk
Meelee Splash

Curse: Vuln

depends on ur survivability u can max their dmg output with making them 7 link.2 uniques below Or boost them with a decent shield and necro aegis . unique shild shown below.

The Chaos dmg explains itself , maybe meelee splash to it.
The helmet as well. Helps with alot of support gems.

The shield converts their dmg to fire dmg so u can also curse flammability and helps abit with 1k armor to their surv.

Would it be possible to combine summoner with dual totems?

I was thinking instead of skellys, you could do a 4L spell totem, arc, faster casting, prolif or similar, to get shocks on mobs.
You would still be able to curse i think (since it's not damage), right?

I guess, one problem would be keeping minions on targets, when you dont have arc.

Does anyone know if it is a reasonable way to go?

updated some map information link

bump - alot summoner question on page 1

hope this helps :)

Does Blood Rage works with Minions?
If they kill mobs do you get the Frenzy Charges ?

When you kill a mob in party does it benefit from the more life for mobs per player?(BM's = OP?)

Does added Chaos dmg works with BM ?
