Current passives at lv91
Zombies are raised in 6L chober chaber RZ + melee phy dmg + multistrike + FA + remote mine + life leech Spectres in chest by Tabula Rasa RS + min dmg + min life + remote mine + trap + increased AOE / conc Dominating blow in 4L dom blow + multistrike + faster attack + increased duration Auras: I run 10 auras discipline grace determination hatred haste vitality purity of fire purity of ice purity of lightning wrath 3x60% + 1x40% aura cast with malachai simula remaining auras cast with alpha's howl. I prefer putting grace and discipline in alpha's howl to get the +2 aura gem. stats with auras on:
Spoiler
 Utility skill blood magic + bone offering + flesh offering + desecrate (keep at lv1) My gears
Spoiler
Gears to look for: ES > EV > Armor Sin Trek is highly recommended as it provide high EV and some ES with 30% movement speed and it is cheap. Shavronne's revelation is nice too as you dont need mana for this build ***This build is very expensive as soul taker and shav is suggested*** ****Without Shav? I believe this is possible to use Solaris Lorica if you cannot afford Shav. I still can achieve 5491 ES without shav. If I switched to rainbowstride I can get 5620 ES by giving up some armor. Enjoy ;) Previous version
Spoiler
I feel bored being a pure summoner casting spells from behind, so I try to blend the fun of playing melee and summoning.
**This build requires lots of currency investment** What this build offers: 8 zombies 2 spectres over 8k armor, can be even more if you use molten shield 60% block rate 50% spell block rate each block gives you 4% of your armour to ES instantly 30-70 dominated monsters Gears required
Spoiler
Zombies
Spoiler
Use The Bringer of Rain or any +2 minion helm to raise zombies first. After they are raised, you can switch to a helm with high armor / life / es / resists. The bringer of rain - raise zombie - multistrike - added fire damage - life leech +2 minion helm - raise zombie - multi strike - faster attack - life leech Spectres
Spoiler
Try to get a Tabula Rasa so you can freely change your support gems if you want to change to a different spectre after you feel bored. If you have plenty of currency to spend, you can go for a 6L covenant which further boost the damage by the added chaos damage I am currently using a burned miscreation and a flame sentinel Burned miscreation, thanks to fellow summoners for their testing - raise spectre - minion life - minion resist - increased area of effect - increased burning damage - minion speed Flame sentinel (for huge AOE) - raise spectre - minion dmg - remote mine - gmp - chain - life leech - added chaos damage in a 6l covenant Aura
Spoiler
Mana - purity, determination, vitality, tempest shield, anger Life - Wrath, discipline with blood magic Passive Dominating blow
Spoiler
After summoning zombies and spectres, you can switch your gems for dominating blow. Dominating blow on a 6L chest - dominating blow - multistrike - faster attack - increased duration - melee splash - raise zombies (you have to keep this slot for the gem) Gems My current settings after raising zombies and spectres

Looks like fun. How did you level it without soul taker? Less auras?
|
|

ugh,,,another summoner build that using a cheap gear/gem switch tactic to actually be useful. how boring. they really need to fix this shit so it cannot be done anymore.

" That's true, if GGG change the gem switch mechanic, you can check my newly added gem section. In this case I have to drop the skelly totem, vulnerability and enduring cry which I seldom use. However, dominating blow will be even more powerful with the 6th gem slot. ign: thirsty_guy

" With Soul taker equipped, you can spam any melee skill regardless of how much mana you left. Each dominating blow will cost around 300 mana, without soul taker you cannot keep spamming it. ign: thirsty_guy

lol, that is INSANE!! Very awesome, unique and POWERFUL summoner build there. Too bad I could never afford it. Seems like it would still be viable even if gear and gem switching was fixed (unless they, for some reason, change soul taker).

with that amount of equip i dont think you need minions in the first place lol

" I tried to let my marauder tank to use the soul taker with dominating blow. The summoner build of this witch kills much faster even the tool tip dps of marauder is triple of the witch. This is fun to compete with your minions to dominate the monster, especially the rares. Rare monster's aura is pretty insane, for example, their discipline grants you with an additional of almost 4k ES instantly. ign: thirsty_guy

Yes but what I mean is how did you level it until you were able to use soul taker?
