Zombie´s suck since latest Patch - 135% resists... Endgame Summoner screwed. Help us Pls

I didn't realize zombies suffered from the same -60% resistance penalty that we do. Doesn't make much sense to me considering they're not players and can't just put on a bunch of gear to counter it. I wish the in-game character page listed more of the non-obvious stats for skills such as this.
endgame maps (lvl 70+) are a pain in the ass now. u cant raise them so fast how they dieing.
time to reroll again i guess...
Zombies and skeletons with Resist all gem + Purity vs Crema Piety.

They melt. They melt really fast.

I'm beginning to hate my summoner.
„I don't give a fuck if it was his tenth anniversary with his goddamn neckbeard...“
„If they think I'm going to let them sweep this pizza guy thing under the rug...“
No mod action. Business as usual.
experimented with life leech a bit

works pretty well on zombies in low level maps (<70) without bad affixes.
after that and with bad damage affixes they simply do not have enough time to leech back anything when hits get too big and 1/2/3 shoot them. but its definitely like 100x better than vitality, which sucks.

sadly, looks like my experimental dominating blow/zombie meatshield idea is also not very viable in high level maps.
OP has uninstalled (good work guys).
Let this die plz.
Another 7 pages go by and still i am confused to as why people have issues, i even found someone in global chat having issues with far better gear than me. I have also looked at a few other peoples builds and gear set ups and 1 thing becomes common and very obvious, they have no idea what they are doing which is the sole reason why their zombies suck, or why everything dies shortly followed by them, etc, etc etc etc.


simple fact is most people seem to not understand how to supplement or augment their minions, spectres are great but all my main dps comes from zombies in a set up like this



i currently use flammability and once reaching duel curses will chuck ele weakness on top and then head for equilibrium. now of course this does not solve the 'omg zombies suck they instant die and suck balls because im stupid'.

i tend to counter this in the rare occasions it happens(mainly bosses and tough rares) by spawning skeletons in different locations which are there solely to distract, soon as 9 zombies come at your face with that set up most things die instantly and of course with the MI, 9 zombies 14 skeles blowing up in your face anything will be dead shortly after baring bosses, which i can spam spawn quicker than they can kill and target me. 1 thing worth noting is i have not done maps yet, but had no issues with any boss in merci solo

if i bothered about my useless gear(half of it been using since lvl30) it would be stupid easy, i really hope they do not buff minions because they do not need it


the only thing we do need is more detailed info on minions

not trying to be rude, so Im going to try to say it the most gentle way.

please get into endgame maps before talking about zombies. using zombies as a main damage source compared to good spectres is usually severely gimping yourself if you're not using MI.
and if you're using MI, in endgame maps it becomes extremely unpredictable to deal damage.

they have no idea what they are doing which is the sole reason why their zombies suck, or why everything dies shortly followed by them, etc, etc etc etc.

no one dies shortly following zombies unless they build around it

why are you calling people stupid when all your 'suggestions' are standard in endgame ?

your 5L zombie setup doesnt even work without MI as zombies will die like flies with no leech or minion health.

and using MI when your main source of damage is spectres is counterproductive.



TLDR: youre using MI, where the main purpose of pets is to die, not to live, and youre calling people who think zombies die too fast stupid; also, you havent done any maps yet.
They will fix it. post in the bug section.

why let this die ? summoner is no good to play now.

minions need some rebalance. they are to easy to die now.

summoner minions need at least some positive resists at merciless which is not possible with the game mechanics right now.

no reason to let this die

and i think its sad the OP left because he was right, to many here did OP bashing for no reason

cool story bro, and now go back to cruel...
we have issues at the ENDGAME and not with lvl 40 characters.

i could clear maps solo before the patch/fix/whatever, it was not easy mode, but it was still possible.



RIP my dear summoner :(
