Bringer of Minions: Not your Normal Minion Build

wow, will need to save some exalts to get BoR + that new unique
and the bloodmagic'd ape was quite an awesome find btw, + conduit = everyone will love u :)

Really want to see what this build is capable of with the new zombie mace...

well technically half the zombies doing twice the dps is still the same dps as before



but shouldbe a little better overrall

doesn't that math only work out if you have no minion dmg nodes? It says increased, not more.

Obviously it's not the basic dps you use the unique for, its the explosions/resists/health

You are right, so its actually less overrall dps considering only that bonus

I wonder if the explosions are enough to justify this item

Anyone using this already ?

Ah, here I am, little bit sad, since I thought I was the first to come up with the combination of BoR and Zombies :(
Even so, it was nice to read your ways of doing so. I prefer my Frenzy apes with Clarity(I'm EB), making them sustain actually quite the bit as well.

I was wondering, what are your thoughts are on the new zombie weapon. I feel that scepter has been made for this build, since losing 50% of your zombies is imo a big drawback to the "regular" summoner. I haven't had the chance of trying it out yet though.

Do you run discipline as well as clarity? I found discipline with EB gave me better recharge for lest reserve than clarity.

I couldn't get the frenzy ape to continuously generate frenzy charges unless I have BM linked to him.

The new zombie unique looks pretty cool. It's hard to say on paper whether its an improvement because its hard to gauge the effectiveness of the explosions without seeing it. I can only assume it's like infernal blow, so it might be pretty awesome.

But.... It's way more expensive than I'll ever be able to afford, so I guess I won't be able to test it!

You don't need condiut. The ape already has it, effectively.

So what does blood magic ape even do o.o?
