Getting a +2 minions/high life/large amount of iir on a helm is scary expensive, and that's without any other useful stats like good resists or armor. Instead I could use a max iir helm with life and anything else useful once I've snapshotted the zombies, and simply know that I won't be able to resummon decent zombies on the fly. Which I wouldn't really be able to do anyways, since I don't have chober/sidhe/anything else readily available. So basically I'm asking if having a helm other than a +2 will mess up snapshotting and cause them to not be increased in level when they re-zone. If the +2 will remain snapshotted, I'll give a regular helm a try. Thanks for any advice! Loving this so far. The budget build even easily soloed dominus with CoD specs. You can change the helm in the same way you do it with the chest. So no, you dont need to wear the +2 helmet. But keep in mind to place the zombie gem in the same socket as it was in the other helmet.	Posted by CptQaoz#6689 on Jan 16, 2014, 11:13:38 PM Quote this Post

Hello, I'm lvl71 and build works great for me. Minions are near immortal. Storm heralds dont kill them once i started using saffell frame. Still undying evangelist are only creatures who can kill my BM. And if i meet them in packs with yellow mob i almost always ending resummoning BM. Any tips how to deal with them?

I have noticed that the best strategy for that is to run through and in circles around those evangelists, as their attack has a bit delay and is targeted AoE.

It takes your total life as a base and applies all damage increases afterwards. Yes, I made a small error in calculation. The conclusion still stands. I will edit it for clarity.

you are still explaining that increased damage > more damage [Removed by Admin] @Sampudrinker Stream: www.twitch.tv/sampudrinker Last edited by Connor_GGG#0000 on Jan 17, 2014, 7:12:58 PM	Posted by tehosiris#3518 on Jan 17, 2014, 7:17:50 AM Quote this Post

It's not confirmed, but seems heavily implied. Who knows - maybe GGG isn't the sort to play the 'we know what's fun and we'll teach you what it is' card as far as balancing goes. It would be a hard sell to say that summoners are breaking the game, given the limitations of specs like these and the amount of groundwork that goes into them. Personally, mechanics that require planning and research delight me. They're easy ways to improve your character in ways that aren't connected to tooltips. http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/750297 This is the primary source of summoner speculation, to my knowledge.

Sorry guys, once again I need to defend myself. " tehosiris wrote: you are still explaining that increased damage > more damage That's not even what I said, more damage is obviously better most of the time because increased damage numbers are so high, but when they are low, you need to look at it case by case.
