support!

@ViRuS171 i took the cold and lightning resist nodes above sentinel so i cap out on piety runs, my rarity / qiantity gear has none of these resists, had to compensate

@Draxx388 there is no real realiable method, dragging them back and forth sometimes works

I just wanted to say this build looks awesome. I love summoners in games like this and this is the coolest one I've seen. My current character's in domination but once I unlocked the Scion I wanted to move up to Nemesis with this build. My only real question is, while the gear in this build seems relatively cheap, do you think I'll be able to get most of the gems and gear as I level (with some luck) or will I need some help? I don't really have any friends in game to get me started. Thanks again for posting this build.

@QuintanamoBay most of the things, gems aren't expensive i've started off from scratch myself on Nemesis, so don't be scared to step it up, our guild just formed recently, feel free to wisper me for an invite, a lot of helpful people here :)

also i updated the build a bit, respecced my oak reward from normal for +40life

Thank you for the guide :) I've been following it diligently on Nemesis. I'm up to lvl 54.

How would you alter this build if you could couldn't get your hands on a 6 link right away? A 5 link is no problem.

How much would this cripple the playstyle?

@Yukionna
yon don't need a 6 Link, i am using a 5 Link myself, the 6th link at the moment is a bood magic actually!
Eventually i plan to use Empower as my 6th link, the priority for Burned Miscreations should be:
Spectre > Increased Burning Damage > Minion Life > Minion Resist > Increased Area > Empower

hi i love the build so far. i have some questions, would be nice when someone could answer them.

1. can i play with arc + blood magic + added cold damage to lower the resistens by the same with elemental equilibrium? so i only have to hit one key. im a very lazy-player :)

2. im now lvl 61 and i have 3 auras up. 3k life, 60% pysical reduction and 75% all resistance.
for what i should go next: 1. effect auras, 2. more life or 3. the 4th aura determination

3. how important is the +2 minion helmet? and how much i must pay for a +2 minion helmet with 50+ hp?

Tabula Rasa still works, costs less than a decent 5L and you can get an awsome nolink defensive chest for cheap. Even with Tabula I'm still summoning 5L spectres since there's no really good 6th link to use.

1. You can drop Added Cold - it does nothing other than increase target cold resistance since EE cannot reduce resistances by more than 50%. Use Chain or Culling Strike + Item Rarity instead.

3. It will significantly boost the hp of your zombies, which means they're a lot easier to keep alive, and will regen more from Vitality. I got my helm (without the links) for 2 chaos:

Hey tehosiris, first of, thanks for your detailled thread.

I'm planning to run a Summoner too.

Just a short question - what's the difference between your build and Rathik's one? :o

http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/479976

No, im not too lazy to read both guides, but maybe you know his one aswell and can sum up some points..

Thanks in advance,
Br0ken

@Keiki86
Zed_ answered most of the questions, but i'll do my best too :)

1. you can not double debuff from one spell, you need separate sources, cold snap + arc worked best for me!

2. i would go for the 4th aura, more tanky minions (a lot more)

3. +2 minion helmet is really important, your zombie gem scales exponentially, the higher it is the more benefit you get from the xtra levels, level 22 zombies with level 22 minion life easily pass the 10k mark, early on it's not that big of a deal, but later i definitely recommend one

@Br0ken_0n3

i did shift through his guide, the key differences are;
1. he is CI, requires very specific gear
2. he is not tanky at all, the only auras he is running are purity discipline and clarity, wich leads to
3. he doesn't have vitality or grace or determination, those minions will melt away to random damage (not to mention himself dying), unless you spam flasks on them

all in all, IF you can get 9K es from your gear, go for it, but i wouldn't recommend myself
