Hi again,

Just some update on my progress in onslaught: I advanced to 38 and moved to cruel with no trouble at all. Didn't feel in danger but I decided to temporarily go a bit away from the main skill tree investing 4 points to get Divine Toughness and Fitness and the other 2 life nodes leading to them; points that I will eventually retract when moving to CI.

Gear wise, some upgrades:
- got multistrike and enfeeble (still missing arc and melee splash)
- got a 3L Ullr
- got a 4L armor that allows me to run zombies with multistrike, minion life and and added fire damage
- got a perpetual granite flask of adrenaline

Other notes:
- my gloves are crap I should really invest in some decent gloves
- I gave up fireball and I think I'll give up firestorm as well as the minions kill fast enough by themselves as well. Will replace it with arc as soon as I get one.

Questions:
- I have a 3L goldrim (but with no blue socket). About what level should I plan changing it?
- At the moment I'm using only one curse: which one is more efficient to stay alive: temporal chains or enfeeble?
- When I wanna up the dps (farm runs) which offensive curse should I use? Got vulnerability in stash. Should I trade for another?
- My Ullr actually has 4 socks but just 3 are connected; would it be worth to try my luck to get a 4L out of it?

Cheers:)

so far this is what the community has gathered, socket and item level required

1 socket : 1
2 sockets: 1
3 sockets: 15
4 sockets: 28
5 sockets: 35
6 sockets: 50

if it can roll 4 sockets, it can link them.

1h weps/shields = 3max
Helm/Boots/Gloves = 4max
Chest/2h weps = 6max

Emm, debatable about curses.
Temporal chains makes the monsters attack/cast slower for there normal damage and it also allows you room to maneuver, meaning you can stay away from them very easy. If you are not there for the hit you won't take damage.
Enfeeble makes them hit less hard and with a chance to miss.
Personally I used them both at all times. Desynch is a big problem in this game, because loosing 10% EXP at my level is a big issue.

I am assuming you are talking about public groups.
Elemental weakness and Vulnerability is the way to go.
Those two curses help all builds.
If you are solo, temporal chains/enfeeble + Vulnerability.


If your Bones of ullr are not 14-15% speed don't bother. Again, use the search engine to find what you need. Bones of ullr are so common, finding a 4L with +14-15 speed% ones to buy shouldn't be a problem.

I think there is a bit of confusion, I meant the unqiue helmet goldrim (+30ish res all).
I will use temp chains vulenaribility for dps I don't feel comfortable giving away all defense.
The bones are 14%speed :)

I'm interested in starting this build, reading your leveling tips section, I have one question. Where do you got after 61-71 skill points?

Quick question for you Rathik.. your rings are simply stunning ! Did you craft them or trade for them? How much did they run you?

Im level 70 at the moment in Hardcore useing your build and I'm now in the mix of getting my IIQ/IIR up and so far I have all the standard unique items. I hate useing 2 Andvarius rings due to my res. being lacking and I watnted to see what your 2 rings ran you befor i go into crafting or tradeing for some.


Onto my next question. I plan on useing my Heartbreaker unique dagger that I used on my sporker to cull with..So what would you suggest I use in place of culling strike linked to Arc?

I was thinking about droping arc as a 4 linked set up making it a 3 linked set up with Arc IIR/IIQ and making my spell totem and summon skeles a 4 linked with sepll tot. sumon skeles IIR/IIQ since to me they look to be landing some last secound hits when they blow up.


Last but not least I just want to say I love this build! I was mostly a Nerco summoner in D2 LOD so this build feels right at home with me.

First off thanks for posting this build, it has been a great Guide

I have came up with a slight variate based on my leveling experience that uses Necro Aegis
Would appreiate some inputs if any :

Main reasoning for my points selection:
1. to max IIR/IIQ, gear choices are quite limited (i am most definately NOT rich in currency)
Taking all the major STR and DEX was necessary

2. Necro Aegis imo is the most powerful point you can take for a summoner. I am not sure why most summoner builds neglect taking this. Sure you lose all the benefits (on main char) from the shield, but you are not suppose to tank / take damage to begin with.

3. I have also taken the Phalanx wheel (far left) for more All Resist and defense. Simply cause my amulets and rings are all focused on IIR/IIQ

4. Also made a slight branch into Prestidigitation and Reduce mana cost for skills.
I am running three auras Purity / Discipline / Anger at all times with close to 300mana left
The Character becomes extremely mana hungry and these passive points helped alot


Do note I have really crappy gear and these point selection is based on my experience leveling a summoner from scratch.
