Melee summoner - Minion Dominating build (Soul Taker & Shav / Solaris Lorica required)

If you have enough mana regen it is possible to just run

Mstrike + Msplash + Dom blow

Which I currently trying out on my own summoner.

Ty raytkh,

much appreciated. So - I'm actually going to try this out - thing is: Most people here keep asking - Does it work without a soul taker? My question would be: Does it work without Shavs? You could make due with lesser auras reserved from life to minimize the risk until you get your hands on that particular item, or? Also: you make no more mention of the Aegis Aurora, how important would you rate it for the build? Insane amount of ES and the 4% replenish on block are huge I bet, but most builds with ST & AE are somewhat face-roll-ish, don't you think? Would you suggest switching to melee before 86? What is the earliest you believe the transistion is possible?

Thanks a lot for your insight!
Cheers


Yes, it still work w/o shav but you will have less aura.
My previous version is a life build using aegis aurora w/o shav, with around 3500 life and 2000 es. Armor is around 13k. You could tank in almost all situations except vaal smash and touch of god. And this is the reason why I switched from life to ES using shav to achieve even better survivability with more auras.

For auras I would take vitality, determination, discipline, purity of lightning and fire.
Will drop iron reflex most probably since grace cannot be used and then invest some pts in blocking and life

I think you could start melee once you have grabbed the aura nodes ;)

Hey raytkh,

thanks for the update!
I noticed you dropped Aegis Aurora and switched out for a Shavronne's Relevation, interesting move!
As I recall, you weren't heavily invested into block anyways - any other changes that went along with the switch?

Also, I wonder how you sustain the life cost of the desecreate and offering skills while staying low life and having zealoths oath keystone?

Thanks for keeping the thread updated!
Cheers!
Please update the Passive Tree, want to try that Build on the next League,
actually play a cheap summoner with only 2700 Life and i think this is easy and cheap makable with ES.
