I've been headed more towards your other build (IR path, skipping most minion life nodes) and I'm having trouble keeping my zombies(and spectres) alive even in easy areas such as act 1 merciless ledge. I'll post my gear and build maybe I'm doing something wrong...Should I take more minion life nodes instead of damage? How do you keep your zombie shield alive with skipping the life nodes? I just got some of the health flasks that heal minions so hopefully those will help keep everyone alive.

For auras, I can pretty much only run clarity and discipline right now and still be able to cast skelly totem. I use projectile weakness curse when I get the tentacle miscreation spectres.

This is going to be primarily a MF solo character right now hence the gear. I pretty much have max res right now so I don't think the gear is causing too many issues.

Also, I had a question about the tentacle miscreations. If you use the act 3 normal version will they do act 1 normal damage? I can currently get them in cruel but it takes awhile since all I have are zombies/skeletons at that time and Kole is always scary...



GGG nerfed/fixed/whatever the elemental resistances of your minions in the last patch.
u need to put more %life minion nodes in the passive tree and necromantis aegis, but it still sucks.

Ok, thanks for the info. Guess I will respec some minion damage points to minion life and hopefully that helps. Do you know anything about my last question regarding taking spectres from different difficulties? Can I take spectres from normal and they'll be fine for merciless or do I need to use the higher difficulty spectres?
Your spectres will be the level they are when you summon them. So you want to take them from the difficulty you are in.
Do you consider prism guardian a workable alternative to the covenant?
Had bones of Ullr and Malachai drop in anarchy and my main char is now 86 so it was time to do a farm build so I didn't have to derp around MF farming with my main and potentially die (exp loss no bueno). Been running MF since lvl 8 (1 andy + a bunch of other iir/iiq gear gathered while farming my other char) and have ~120 iir/40 IIQ at lvl 51. Will hit around 140/40 once I get to lvl 59 and swap some more gear around, low level orbs (up to Chaos so far) are falling fairly regularly.

Got a cheap +1 minion helm and Matua Tupuna along with Aurumvorax and leveling was a breeze. I just grabbed the minion HP/damage (cept the minion HP nodes going to the right near the shadow tree) and some HP and let the minions tank everything. To give an idea how easy this was I have 8 deaths by lvl 51 (a record for me) and I generally suck, thus playing anarchy/softcore.

I'm just about to finish cruel and I can see how powerful the tb's will be, I just got a (horrible) cheap 5l es chest and chain/added chaos makes a huge difference (tried both, I will use chain for now).


Hoping I can get to docks in another day or so (will depend on whether I'm mapping with my main or not) then its time to turn this build loose. Lots of fun so far (I have to admit I love
the tb's once they start killing everything =D

Thanks for the build, now back to leveling.

Prism is great. I use it in a low life farmer summoner. But l also use the covenant to run a low lvl clarity so my life is just below 35%

pls forgive my gibberish space orc english - its not my native language
For those having trouble keeping minions alive in mid levels you can run a rejuv totem, vitality, and a minion pot. With your zombies in a matua shield (+2) they should be nearly immortal. Also can add purity for some extra mitigation. I also spec into every minion life node before touching any minion damage nodes. A live zombie does more dps than a dead zombie with twice the damage. You don't really need any other auras or survivability until maps imo. If you have trouble with bosses a degen bear from waterfall cave a2 will crap all over every boss as long as you can keep it alive.

Thanks for your help :)

But, what is "matua shield (+2)" ? I'm noobie on this game ^^ I play this build, and I like it :)
