Passive skill tree build 110 points

RZ + MultiStrike + MeleeSplash + Faster Attack

* Increasing zombie attack speed is the best way to increase their dps. It also scales very nicely with wrath and anger. Melee splash is also a huge dps increase. If you have 8 zombies hitting a pack at once, each zombie hit will splash resulting overlapping damage.

*

, This is a great item and I highly recommend it. The stat that is most important is the zombie resistance try to get as high of a roll as possible. Infernal blow with melee splash is a total killer one explosion will trigger the whole pack to die. Works nicely with your BM's and your -fire resist curses.

* Now what about sustain for your zombies? No problem. Life leach(warlords) or vitality or regen totem will sustain them through almost anything. Except certain bosses, but u can just revive more.

* I have tried 6-linking them with the tabula rasa switch but your zombies will die to certain bosses and mob types. Having them in your helm lets you revive them on the spot.

"

RS + Increased Burning Damage + Minion Life + Increased AOE + Minion Resistance

* These guys cast a AOE aura denoted by fireballs on top of mob's heads. It acts much like righteous fire. But their version is unrighteous fire. It seems to deal a very high flat fire damage to targets.

* Only certain things can increase their damage: Flammability, Elemental Weakness, Vulnerability, Shock Charges, EE, Minion Life, Increased Burning Damage.

* We cast 2-3(Ullr is optional) of them to increase the odds of activating the aura, indirectly increasing your damage coverage(2-3 BM's spread out), And being able to continue the map at full speed if one or two die.

* With these support gems they are even more tankier than your zombies.

Vitality - Heals your minions constantly
Clarity
Purity

For your other slots there is a ton of defensive and offensive support skills to use.

frost wall
synergies very well with this build. You can push things away using the wall, wall your self in to prevent damage, wall bosses off. The Bm's UR goes right through the wall. And if u need to we also have leap slam to jump over them. You also can get Elemental equilibrium and oh look frost wall actually does damage, perfect. Linking this to a totem works as well.

Molten shell
gives u an extra 1058*1.21=1280(inner force). Really stacks nicely with determination, grace, IR, armor nodes, Granite flasks.

Enduring Cry
+4% physical damage reduction per charge, +4% ele resistance per charge

Raise Skeleton
Great for distraction use it with a totem + faster casting

Leap slam
Link this with faster attack to travel quickly

"

we are going to use

for 3 curses you can also replace ullr with

for quadra curse.

Damage Curses
*Vulnerability - Gives you 44% more melee damage for your zombies and a 1.4* multiplier for your BM's a really nice universal curse for your two minions. Not to mention a whole load of other effects.

*Flammability - minus fire resist

*Elemental Weakness(main curse)- with a 20% Q gem, -59% resist is over powered.

defensive curses

Temporal Chain

Enfeeble

Warlords Mark

Currently Running
Enfeeble -> Elemental Weakness -> Vulnerability

*This is the best combination of defense and offense. Enfeeble before you leapslam into a pack provides a ton of survivability, by the time BM's run into range you have just casted elemental weakness (-60fire resist), Zombies will soon follow by the time you casted Vulnerability (44% more physical and 1.4* BM's dmg).

"

Chober + Sidhe = 55% increased minion hp, minion hp also boosts BM's UR damage.

"

"

So the support gems you should focus on getting 20% qual are(in order of importance for each skill):

Zombie:
1. Zombie Gem, +20% move speed and life
2. Melee Splash, +20% AOE radius
3. Faster Attack, +10% attack speed
4. Multi Strike, +10% melee damage

BM:
1. Minion life, +15% additional life
3. Increased AOE, +10 AOE radius
3. Minion res, +6 res

Curse
1. Elemental weakness, -10 additional resist
2. Vulnerability, 10% more physical damage (for zombies)
3. Enfeeble,

"

1. Equip Chober/Grasp + Sidhe breath->go into an easy area-> res one zombie-> that zombies kills the rest and raise 8 zombies total. Than go get your spectres->

2. I prefer grabbing 2-3x BM's(depending on whether u choose to use ullr or not) to hopefully trigger one of their UR auras faster, also useful in the event of one of them dying. Also this increases your UR aura range if both of them activate.

3. Cast your auras, Setup your hotkeys -> have fun.

"

For those who requested the gear I use, chober, sidhe, Grasp on switch and something use tabula rasa(for spectre experimentation)

Hmm i was thinking what about animate weapon with a totem. It should serve the same purpose as a summon skele totem. Just gotta be careful not to animate a unique or a good rare lol.
