[2.0]Rathik's NEWBIE FRIENDLY FUN&CHEAP FARMER, DPS Summoner. High AOE DMG, SURVIVAL."The Matriarch"

Anyone try'd the unique Heartbreaker Royal Skean weapon here? It costs a few exalt but might be intresting for this build? Adds 50 max mana/ES, 10% ES cd reduction and "your spells have culling strike"

I'm level 80 CI summoner with dual totems (arc totem for EE + skelly totem). I like it a lot and have tested tons of setups, but still feel there could be more potential, so i'm wondering if you have any ideas as to how I can improve further?
I use added fire for all minions (EE triggered by arc totem) and the fireball spectres (sentinels). I'm still experimenting a bit with curses (dual curse). Overall it generally works well, but I do have some issues with some bosses in the 70+ maps I have tried.
I have cleared a few rare 72 maps, but some of the bosses are out of my league. For instance lvl 70 Villa boss and lvl 72 jungle valley boss. Is this normal for a summoner?

No, its not. You lack ES. Summoners are probably the most versatile build, they can do pretty much all content.

I ll add something in the strategy section about those fights but for quick reference.
In villa use purity of fire (level 17 gives +3% max fire res) and rise of the phoenix shield.

For jungle valley don't roll to hard map mods, I personally never had problems with that fight, keep enfeeble and chains up, and keep raising skeleton and zombies.
Its a hard fight for most builds.

ES rarely is an issue, since I keep away from damage :P i'm around 4500-5000. In jungle valley all my minions and totems are just eaten in a few seconds. Surprised me a lot the first time, and I tried again yesterday. By the time I had placed 2 totems and cast curses, all my minions were dead :P And map mods were not insane. I have been using vulnerability and punishment, but now trying flammability aswell. Those have worked well for me in terms of killing speed. I guess enfeeble and temporal chains would make sense if my minions are dropping that fast.

Thanks (also thanks for the PL guide.. kicks a**)

I would really use enfeeble and temp chains and it seems like you are using a specters based build. This build relies on zombies for damage. I have found that specters die faster and are harder to get back so if you were to use zombies in your 5 link and give them multistrike and item rarity instead of added fire, your survivability might improve. Also you took a lot of passive points to go dual totem but I think you could use those passives for more aura nodes and just self cast arc because it isn't that much of a difference between the totem casting it and you casting it. You would then have a free support gem slot for arc.

This build is cheap, no special item combination is required, no hard to find uniques or rare item mods. Not even a 5L is required. You can be as effective with a 4L, a 5L will only give you a higher IIR/IIQ.
The goal is to reach a high number of IIR/IIQ with fast clearing time, survival and run any level map with any map mods, except blood magic.
With the right gear you can have over 100% IIQ and 400% IIR while keeping high AOE damage and survival.

Oref, where is even 1 MF item in your life build gear? You forgot the main goal of the build. )))




On 85 lvl I have 3600 HP, 1200 ES
In this items I'm farming 77 Shipyard whithout any problems, but Piety in Shrine... and Dominus in Residens are the big problem ))

Aim now is to get 350 % IIR with saving 100% IIQ, but gear is really expencive ))

And in conclusion for the author: TY MUCH FOR YOUR BIULD, IIQ+IIR THEORY CRAFT AND THE ART OF CULLING. )))

Hi Rathik

Need a bit of help if you wouldnt mind.

I'm having a bit of issues with my gear and getting more MF.

So first of all, my gear in spoiler:


My issue is getting 6-link chest with good enough stats and getting enough res.

My initial thoughts:
Switch Aurumvorax for a Heartbreaker to get culling, which saves me a gem slot on zombies, but this will leave me with 45% fire res, 18% cold and 4% lightning.
So for more MF, I'm thinking Aurseize gloves, which also helps with 15% resist all.
To try and help fixing the resist issue, I need a kite shield, preferable with added resist all or lightning.
And then try to mix and match rings and amulet to max resists.

Does that sound like the correct approach?

Currently uploading jungle valley boss kill.


Its pretty basic, get some chaos res and use life leech on zombies.
Still a hard fight none the less but very duable if you don't go crazy on the map mods.

So sad, just found out you can't use item quantity on domination

Which means you can use melee physical damage for moar DPS with out feeling that you are missing out on your MF stats.

Dude!!!

Oref = Rathik

I think you missed the part that I wrote

"

This guide has evolved to include a life EB DPS build if you are not interested in an MF build.

and

Of course nothing is stopping you to add IIR/IIQ on a life build, it will just make itemization harder and much more expensive to match a CI build.

I made that character in two days to show the new build :).
All my MF items are on Lasaria, I don't need another MF character.

Glad you like the build.
