Hi, I just started this build not too long ago, and I have to say that I am enjoying it as a new player. I managed to buy all the uniques that you recommended in the early going, and my witch is currently at level 29. It was going great, but I feel now that my zombies die pretty quickly in act 3 than they did before. Any tips? I have my zombies linked to minion damage and melee splash (looking to get multistrike soon), but it's hard to find any 4 links at my current level and limited currency. I also use storm call as my damage spell while my zombies and spectres attack. How did you guys manage to grind until you got your 4 links?

We followed the 'Power Leveling' guide then transitioned to Summoner around level 68... As suggested in the first post.

Well, how about any tips from those who didn't power level? Seeing as I can't do that as a new player...

How then exactly is this a "newbie friendly" build then? There are some comments from people who have stated that they started off as a low level summoner, and that it wasn't that bad at all. I'm specifically asking those who have gone down the same path and had success for some advice and tips.

As stated in first post is is not viable to level up as a summoner. Have to use other skills and spec with life build until you can equip level 20 raise zombie gems... at level 68.

If they can do it, why can't you?

I follow this guide, and didn't use the power leveling method. EK, RZ, and RS+spell totem, following the life build, now I am lvl 44 at ACT 2 cruel and didn't die a single once.

It is amazing that I ever try other builds but no other char can stay alive for so long! (My network is very bad, terrible lag and frozen screen when attacked by many monsters). Just RZ and RS, and stay behind spamming EK, even in boss fight you can use RS to keep distance. Slowly but very safe!

You can enjoy your game in your own way. I am very excited to find out how she will go at end game.
