[2.0]Rathik's NEWBIE FRIENDLY FUN&CHEAP FARMER, DPS Summoner. High AOE DMG, SURVIVAL."The Matriarch"

great guide.

i´m playing it with your beloved queen´s decree:-)...because i found it while leveling and i´m playing selffound.
so i could get a 5 link for the zombies with the right coulors without spending too many chromes.
the evangelists are too strong, to not link them 5/6.
so i don´t need bones of ullr (i hate this weak item).
iir/iiq is not my focus. its just dmg, so i survive.

this is my stuff.





changes all the time, til i craft/find a better chest.

If you don't need the defenses from the shield then go ahead and use it :).

It all comes down to personal preferences.

Hi everybody.
I play as CI summoner 79lvl, and everything goes quite well, but i have a huge problem with map bosses, even on 66 map.
My current gear is (gems are in):

Spoiler

How you avoid slow ES restoration? With auras i have 5235 ES an res FR/CR/LR = 62/28/56, but most of the time I die from small constant damage and after a while my shids vanish.

What's your advise, how you play bosses?

Thanks in advance and sorry for my English. =)

And by the way, what do you think about using

?

They are pretty weak. You can find much better rares.

Cap your resistances as a priority to avoid deaths.

Use http://poe.trade/ to shop for gear, flip items, make profit, etc.
If you are playing PoE and not using this website you are simply failing.

So much for summoners, then.

Up

I have some question, OP please answer:

1/ Why didn't you have dream fragments on your CI gear, cuz everytime I ask people always answer that its a much for CI

2/ My friend keeps yelling at me about replacing my melee splash gem for Empower. "Your evangelists dealed enough AOE damage already, now focus on your minion's survivalbility" that what he said

3/ What do you think if I drop 100% curse duration wheel to get the flask effect wheel? Cuz I use flasks frequently and having some increased effects would be sweet. I'm doing fine with my curses though.

Here my stuff

Not the OP obviously, but I thought I would put some answers out there.

1. I don't think you need Dream Fragments because the enemies main focus should not be on you, but your minions. You should stay in the background. I know that that is easier said than done in some cases, but maybe just carry around a flask with the "...of Heat" suffix (Dispels Freeze And Chill).

2. Honestly, with this kind of build and the gems that are now in the game, your zombies do not need to have high survivability. Furthermore, if you took Minion Instability, you won't mind a slightly smaller HP pool in exchange for higher DPS. You can easily re-summon your zombies through desecrate (which I see you have) and you will be all set to go. Ticking time-bombs that deal great damage and can easily be replaced. Zombie survivability was a much more pressing issue when snapshotting was running rampant in the game, not so much now.

3. Curses are a huge DPS boost, but I don't think you need the 100% duration nodes myself. Most mobs drop pretty fast and the regular curse duration outlasts them. Rares and uniques may outlast them (especially in higher maps), but you can easily reapply them.

I'm leveling a summoner right now and it's level 43. What am I missing with summon spectre though? I'm running spectre in a 4 link, spectre-spell echo-increased duration-increase area of effect. When I try to summon, it casts twice, which most of the time makes it summon 1 of the correct evangelist, and then 1 other random spectre. How do I make it only summon 1 correct spectre?

Since you have spell echo linked to raise spectre, it will work that way for both you and the spectre. You will cast that spell twice, thus raising two spectres if there are enough bodies nearby to do so. When getting your spectres, equip detonate dead and take out any extra bodies near the one(s) you want to make a spectre of. That should solve the problem.

Edit: I imagine you could remove the spell echo gem before raising a spec and then reslot it after, but I am unsure if that will destroy the spectre or not. I currently do not have a summoner to test this on at the moment.

Even more so with current patch changes.

No it will not.
