Managed to get 4 auras running: Disc, Purity, Hatred and Vitality, and I have to say so far its pretty good. The only down side of this atm is that I cant use RZ in the helmet anymore, since Im using Alphas for Disc, Hatred and Purity, so RZ is down to lvl 19 (bought a lvl 19 / 20% quality gem the other day :D) now and they lost like 1k health and the extra res. But yeah when they hit 20, with 4 lvl 20 auras(3 at 22 actually from Alphas), its gonna be pretty good :D.

For the ppl interested in the mana needed, setup etc: I have 1269 mana, with 38 mana left after the 4 auras.

Gear used atm




And the tree right now:

do you have any problem switching to CI with such low ES? what's your ES like atm ?
I switched to ES at like lvl 60 :D. Im at 5300 ES atm, with about 2844 Armor (24% damage reduccion) and 1642 Evasion Rating (19% Evade Chance).
If you think you need a high amount of ES / Evade / Armor / Life after reading that Guide and (not) playing it for yourself then you seriously need to reconsider if you get what that build is good for.

This build shines even with non-stat Equip like Tabula Rasa as you dont focus on your character but ON YOUR MINIONS. Smart Movement and Smart Minion Placement and everything is fine.

uhm it's good to have high es however if you're ci, if you go around with a tabula rasa and 2000es you're pretty dead.
Yeah I agree this spec is all about the minions, hence why I have 3 aura enhancing clusters, and I switched to an Alphas Howl to enhance the auras even more. + Having defensive stats, that come pretty much without me looking for them on gear, is always good imo ( an example is the shield Im using, which I found ).

EDIT: Just noticed the post from earlier asking about if zombies die and what maps I do etc: they rarely die with the 4 auras tbh, and if 1 actually dies I just cancel hatred, pop a mana flask and resummon, activate hatred and keep on farming :D. Been doing up to 76 maps when I had RZ in the helm ( at lvl 21 ), been running lower lvl ones (70 to 74 ) after I switched to the 5L since the zombies are lvl 19 now and a bit more squishy.

Hey first of all just wanted to say I've been using this guide + some others as far as Summoner guides and information, and I really like how much time you spent making this and how much information you put into it. Thanks a lot!
I'm currently level 58 Dom league finishing up act 2 and just recently have I hit a massive spike in usefulness in minions. I grabbed a +2 Minion level helm instead of putting it into my chest, since I can't afford a 5L and the +2 is so helpful.
Here's my gear pretty crappy atm, some are for the links only.
Spoiler


I also wanted to ask you or anyone with a better grasp of minions/summoner builds, end game maps and stuff.

When is it best to change from a +2 minion helm for my Zombies to a 5L/6L Chest?
I figure I would be gaining IIR/IIQ on a CI build, but for a life build I'd probably be getting more dmg for my minions.

THANKS

Thanks for the build, 74 atm and going strong :) can do most of the map mods :D
I tend to use life build
Curse: 99% of time using Vul, Warlord and Temp Chains sometimes

My gears atm, have no clue what to upgrade next :| tend to use the bonus exp ring and helm till 80 then do some serious MF farming :D looking for advice. Thanks you Rathik ! ! !

just a quick tip for people using moonsorrow wand, switch the summon skeletons, spell totem and faster casting from your shield into this wand. Like this.

(and put the gems from your wand into your shield of course.)

Your skeletons will blind mobs quite often if the gems are in this wand.

Thanks ! ! ! will do right away ! ! !
Has anyone tried killing dominus\piety? (non map). Can you tell me how fast it went? Did many of your zombies die during the fight? I'm lvl 69 atm with 20/20 zombie gem and they seem to die very fast against abilities that burns the ground or poison clouds. Also those ally cannot die mod really kills off most of my minions. Does anyone know how to counteract this? Thanks.
