Cant find this anywhere so Ill try asking here.

In merc, do zombies have a base -60% ele res like players do, or are they at 0% ele res? What about chaos res?

I know that lvl 20 zombies get something like 32% fire and lighting and 60% cold, but what is the starting point ( 0 vs -60 %)?

Also, OP, what are your thoughts on using dual totem flame totem instead of arc? I will be playing in a group as the main culler. Our group already has someone applying shock stacks so those are not needed by me. Would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks

Sounds like 6 wasted points to me and you cant really aim with that unlike arc.
I never tried it so I cant really give an opinion on it.
Personally I wouldn't use it.

Even at level 1 it costs 62 mana, you will have to use GMP (200% mana cost) so you can cover more area so thats 124 mana, then add culling strike another 10% that 130 mana. Then you will add IIQ gem for zero cost.
You just lost the IIR gem if you are playing on standard.

One thing I don't get is why are people so obsessed about totems. I never could figure that out.

Hi Ive been the following the guide, and its been going pretty well. However, as soon as I hit Cruel I started getting destroyed. Im not sure if its my level, since im only lvl 36, or my gear. Ive been following the leveling tips builds you had posted, and tweaking to my needs, but I dont think its that... Heres my gear, perhaps its that

following your build in Nemesis, Level 43 atm. Tried a CI Summoner in HC ladder weeks ago, didnt know your build..much better than mine I have to admit :D

Had a hard time in normal, minions died within seconds...in cruel now, finished Act 1 and hat no problems yet.
Partymembers seem to have some issues with summoners, but well...they profit from my minions taking all the damage as well :-)

gear atm:

Resis maxed I think..thats ok. Raise Zombie q15 now. Can run 2 auras (Discipline/Purity/Clarity) as needed - raise Zombies, then auras on.
Enough mana for enfeeble. Zombies didnt die during act 1 :-)
But not enough Mana to Summon skellis :-/
Ill Switch Faster Casting against another Minion Damage, as faster casting isnt needed.

Nice build btw Rathik, thx!

this build so so full of win. Just did a yellow level 67 map at 65 with only 2 deaths. I think it was Fleet, no regen, and vulnerability. Ended up getting 7 more maps from it. Working on getting better Rarity gear but the good stuff is so damn expensive. Heres my gimp gear for now. Chest is from like level 43 need a better one but out of fusings and chroms. Also my Spectres are OP and always seem to KS me. Might give them an Item Rarity instead of faster casting.
