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

I have another EK+mana shield build. In my experience, EK is very slow at early level. So I think it is OK to use in a summoner build as early level DPS skill. While minions are fighting ahead as meat shield for you, you can safely fire EK to speed up the clearing. Safety first, but still very slow comparing to other pure DPS builds.

Zombies are weak at the beginning, but more and more strong in later levels. But since boss can one shot your zombies, I still have to use RS to fight with big boss, especially use RS as bombs. Sometimes may need to cast them by manual in several small bosses or rare.

I am 49 now and my zombies can keep alive by themselves for very long time. Minions damage maybe equal to my EK right now. I think they will do more damage very soon and then I can use them as my main DPS output.

Heading cruel Piety tonight. :)

Update: Piety down ! Nice and easy, about 5 minutes fight using RS, still alive without any death. Next step is Dominus. Maybe in next week.

How much mana (and how much -mana reserved % nodes) u have to run discipline+hatred+purity and be able to cast zombies that cost 200+ mana?

1st of all thanks for the awesome guide Rathik, lvl 84 atm and going strong, doing 76 maps with no problems what so ever, running with 9 zombies and 3 Evangelists, using a wee different tree then the guide 1.

I'm at 1555 mana atm, with the Sovereignty, Influence and the Leadership clusters, a lvl 19 Reduced Mana gem linked to Discipline, Hatred and Purity and I have 233 mana left. Hope that helps.

thx morodir, could u link ur current tree?

Respecced out of the curses part, since i dont really curse as im lazy :D. At 85 im taking Leadership as I feel like minions sometimes run out of range and lose the auras ( might be wrong, but its 1 point so ill just take it). The rest is pretty much Rathiks final build, missing some final points on the right side.

But yeah, awesome build, zombies rarely die, Evangelists are pretty much invincible with LL. Thanks again Rathik :D

Hi man, can you post your gear?today i did a 76 map in duo but i'm felt weak, i had 3evangelists..9zombies died..of course..luckily the map was inhabited by evangelists, aristocrats and zombies so I could re-rise evangelists to finish it..

Rings are pretty bad ( cheapest rings with okish IIR and IIQ I could buy at the time, havent tried to replace yet as I havent played in December and I just started playing again a week ago and I was kinda low on currency ).

As soon as the RZ gem hits 20, I'm buying a 6L, swtiching RZ to that with IIR and Culling, and I'm gonna try an Alpha's Howl see how it works out. I'm at 5.2k ES, 1400 armor and about 10% evade.

Thaumasios in high lvl maps i feel the same.. :( my zombies r dying very quick

this is my gear


missing IQ and IR gem in helmet cuz i was lvling them on other char

With the flasks and resummoning a zombie from time to time, they arent a prbl for me. The maps where it happens are ones with burning ground / sometimes vs evangelist packs / and poison clouds mobs, but its not a huge prbl. Friend of mine is running vitality aswell as hatred, disc and purity ( hes got the Charisma cluster aswell, which imo is a huge waste of points )and hes saying minions NEVER die, no matter the map :D.

Thx morodir and feelthepowa for reply so quick, I think, auras is definitely very important..wanna try vitality-hatred-discip.-purity me too since yesterday night but don't have enough mana, think to respec the curse nodes for decreased mana reserved and pick them later..I also would try: life leach-maulty-meleesplash-faster attaks-rise zombie and item rarity but I have this chest: and don't know if worth craft in fusing for 6l and chrome for r-r-r-b-b-g...life leech is for sure a great advantage for our minion and with vitality i think make a really good combo..i have like 3ex that I could spend, for you guys worth try to improve or better buy another?

P.s: The drop rate of currency in this game is meh for not say pretty bad...but when the currency is ALSO the crafting material is a suicide...for not have the assurence of a good result, after investing a lot of orbs..this make me crazy :)
