Hey guys, I'm new to this 'Matriarch' summoner build and I need a bit of help with my gear! Could you suggest some upgrades I could do with my gear for no more than 10-15 chaos per each piece. Also what time would be the best to switch to CI? I'm currently at 2368 ES and 693 life i'm hoping its not low at my current level 68? If so how can I increase my ES easier?

I linked all my gear and passive tree below, waiting for suggestions :)

Gear




All you need is MUCH more es on your gear. All we really care about is getting resists to 50% (very easy to do), having tons of iir/iiq, and tons of es. Dead simple.

Buy a white 5L vaal regalia or spidersilk robe (1ex) and alch/chaos it till 500+ es. Other pieces of gear just check poeex frequently for a good deal on high es items pref with rarity/quantity when applicable. Helmet, gloves, and boots can all get mf stats, but helmet can get huge es. I find gloves and boots are harder to find high es on. Oh and shield, try to find an archon kite with 250+ es and some resists.

There is really nothing to gearing an mf summoner.

How's the clear speed on this build? I use to run a RF spork.. how's this compared to that?
Also, if i decide to go CI.. is a 6L Shavronne's good for this build?


Depends on how you set up your skills and what spectres you use. For now I use my zombies 5L like in rathiks guide with culling, splash, mstrike, and rarity.

For spec you can go with evangelists and clear slower but be extremely safe, or use BM's and clear insanely fast but you need to watch yourself and your spectres more.

I have been using BMs the last few days, with haste-purity-vitality auras, and bone offering (the block one) with increased duration. The BM aura does all the damage you need (I summon one with iaoe and one with conc effect so you get 2 layers, a large one and a smaller higher dmg one). I did dual boss +25% dmg/speed 69 promenade boss twice and didn't lose a single burning miscreation once with that setup, the block really helps the bm's a lot.

Otherwise 70-73 maps go very fast with my setup. I have 5k es myself with no disc, and I have to run back sometimes with large projectile mob groups, but everything dies in seconds to unrighteous fire. For piety farming i simply walk full speed straight to her room while the zombies and bm aura slaughter everything and then after shes dead i walk back to the stairway to l2 to make a new instance grabbing any rare rings/belts/ammys that dropped as I pass em by. Piety herself dies in less than 10 seconds.

Thanks for the reply kuro, just wondering if BM is blood magic? Are you running low life with your build? Does high dps wand and shield matter with this build? I still have all my gear from my RF sporker.. And its pretty epic gear i gotta admit, dont want to put it to waste because from waht im reading, summoners require more defensive gears.
How can i get high resists? i'm finding it hard to get gear that does my MF up and resists.. atm i need to sacrifice like 400 ES and use the -20% IIR sword to get 75% resists..

Link your gear, got a few hours at work I can try to see where you need to improve :)
How much IIR/IIQ do you guys actually have?

BM in this thread = Burning Miscreation

It is the highest DPS Spectre...but also can die much easier than using Undying Evangelist.

Weapon and Shield add no DPS to minions, unless they are those Queens Decree type of weapons. Most summoners use defensive weapon and shield... for example here is what I use:

^ Thanks for the reply. Are you using the MF build? If so, what's your IIR/IIQ?

Dedicate 1-2 items to resists, and use purity of elements. I get all most of my res from Purity and these 2 items:


Those are some of my best gears, but you can get cheaper stuff with same res...just less ES.

Yes. 75 IIR / 300 IIQ right now with gems. I am still tweaking it a bit though, trying to get to 100 IIQ, without losing much IIR. Also trying to incorporate Raging Spirit into the build as a 2nd method of culling to the zombies.

I need to get a different helm / amulet...and those crazy MF rings to replace andvarius to really make a jump to 150/300+.

But as for now, I am happy with 75/300.

Cimos, i still have my 6L Shav's from a while back. Would i benefit from this build with the Shav's? Also, just wondering what minions do you use besides Skeletons + Zombies?
