Since I am the poster child for bad gear I thought I would update my progress using this guide. Mid 40's and currently doing Act 2 Cruel and so far Cruel is much easier than Normal. Brutus literally died in 5 seconds and with Merveil I just stood behind the rock wall and spammed skeleton totem until she was dead, stepping out only to re-apply Enfeeble. In terms of gear I have a 2-link rare helm for zombies (with Life on Hit and +1 minion level gem slot), a 3-link blue chest for skellies (with minion damage and totem) and a 4-link blue boots for spectres which I crafted from a white. Playing self-found so I hope to find (or craft) some upgrades soon (particularly more slots/links for zombies). But even with this bare minimum gear I am not having any issues. I finally gave up Freezing Pulse at level 40 since it was doing minimal damage, but I still keep Fireball on my bar to use when I have nothing better to cast. Running 3 auras now - Clarity, Discipline and Purity. Almost all my mana is reserved but I don't need much (and it regens fast).

I really don't get why people are obsessed with making there zombies not to die.
Minions are suppose to be used as bombs to clear rooms when needed.

It takes one click to summon a zombie and is part of your rotation.
You cast 2 curses then you just wait for monsters to die.
Why is an issue to click the summon zombie button :).
