Both work just fine as long as you have the correct gear...

Hi there, what about using Mon'tregul's Grasp?
Has anyone tested this item? And if so what are your thoughts about it?
Dont feel like wasting 2ex to try it out myself.

PS: Sry if this was answered before, but 200+ pages of comments is a nightmare.
Its quite good but only if you take advantage of snapshotting. Aka summon 1/2 grasp 1/2 regular.

Is it worth the 2ex? no. Very shortly most summoner uniques will be obsolete unless they somehow buff them. The defensive stats you lose is not worth the minion stats gained.

Game dropped one for me and I sold it ASAP for a nice profit.

Ok, thx for the answers.
I guess I'll just skip it then :-)
My issue is, for your zombies to die less he said a level 20 raise zombie gem is needed. I didn't pay any attention to that statement thinking it couldn't be that serious, possibly a mistake? A level 20 Raise Zombie gem is about 3 Exalts or more. It's also not easy at all to level a gem to 20.

I was trying to use this build to actually be able to afford 3 Exalts after farming, not have it beforehand; is that not what this build is used for?

It is. You don't need a level 20 gem to farm. A level 20 gem makes it easier to run harder maps.

With the amount of rare drops you get it wouldn't be that hard to gather the amount you need by using the chaos recipe.

Personally I leveled all my gems, I didn't buy any.

Been following the build from the get go. Very fun, have not had any issues solo. On dominus now in Merc. Have not attempted, rather farm for exp at ruins in groups till i can get my resists up from gear. They all terrible. Just having trouble deciding how to switch to CI at 68 considering matriarch is a lvl 92 build...

I also added in Vaal summon skeletons for obnoxious fights, works like a charm. when you have 47 minions running around its quite funny.

Montregul can be useful for tought boss fights when you risk losing all your minions.
Examples: Vaal, piety, dominus, crematorium boss, academy boss and so on.

Normal zombies may die. Montregul zombies might survive a vaal overhead smash or dominus lightning smash. They can then heal up before the next big attack.

A cheaper alternative is to do rathik's way with skeletons. When all else fails. Put skeletons in your best link and just spam them with the correct support gems and minion instability.

The thing is. With this build we kinda want our minions to blow up for extra damage. Not too fast so we lose everything but at a pace giving us enough time to resummon so montregul is not the most useful weapon for us.

was wondering how viable the build is when starting clean without gear, for example in a new league with only progression gems
