[2.0]Rathik's NEWBIE FRIENDLY FUN&CHEAP FARMER, DPS Summoner. High AOE DMG, SURVIVAL."The Matriarch"
|
Took a dom run a few minutes ago. The nerf doesn't seem too bad, still didn't have any evangelists die. Damage seems the same, and patch notes don't say anything about that, only the duration and frequency of shield.
Seems more like you don't have constant invulnerability with them now, is all. |

Pretty much no dps nerf to summoners only thing that got hit was utility. Evangelist still have ungodly damage since its a physical spell and monsters pretty much have no protection against that sort of damage type.

" I'm able to kill Merc Dominus with only 2 evangelists and 8 zombies no problem, been doing it this way so I can use IIQ boots instead of bones of ullr. The nerf doesn't seem to bad on the evangelists, they still survive a long time, I don't need to ever resummon them even only using 2 of them. The merc Dom fight isnt hard, but getting to Dominus I typically lose a few zombies due to frogs and other evangelists but I don't snapshot zombies to it is easy to resummon them. Flame Sentinal is still really strong and tanky, not a bad choice for anyone looking for another spectre choice. Gonna try arc mage sometime soon from Colonnade map to see how they do.

"Sorry to disappoint, but Evangelists' attack is considered a spell, so you need faster casting, not faster attacks. "more than that - as it is phy, it is boosted with Added fire dmg and Hatred for +60% base dmg (although some part of that +damage will be resisted, ofc). Evangelists just aren't Highlanders now, that's all :) But with Increased duration their shield is still good. And worst change is putting almost all bosses in new version of maps into fucking small areas, where you can't kite well or dodge stuff. What a terrible idiot invented that I want say to him: dude flick you, seriously flick you very much.

the evangelist nerf doesn't even require talking about, the problem is smoke mine being removed and now no longer having any way to control minions.

Hi, just leveling this build atm and I see what you mean about minions being weak at low levels so I'm leveling using EK. My question is what level would you recommend swapping to using minions full time for damage?
Thanks |

" Around level 60 or act 3 merciless you can probably switch to your minions fully fairly easily, especially if you can get the solaris temple wp early in the act. I leveled using EK and searing bond together with a few zombies for extra damage. Also make sure to start leveling your desecrate gem as early as you can so it will be a high level when you start using minions full time.

" Personally i switched from EK/evangelist/vul. to arc/flamesentinels/flamability/EE and my Dominus kill speed improved significantly. I will probably give a second chance to arctic breath/temporal chain combo. P.S. Evangelist are still fine minion stats: http://goo.gl/gQxs0w

so the only thing that was nurfed was the ability to move your zombies to where you are? I was thinking about making a witch and summoning monsters but is this still a good build to go with? And what if there aren't any corpse around... do you not have your main damage then? I am a new player so I do not understand a lot of things right now.

Is there any best specters to use? ranged fireballer or evangelists as of this point? I see the OP has LMP in his specter gear so Im guessing he views the as better? If so which ranged ones?
