Also on kripp's comment, his hybrid comment was in relation to health/ES hybrid, not like nuker/summoner hybrid. It's an health/ES hybrid as opposed to CI build which is pure ES but is probably not a good idea until later levels.

I said that one page back already.

Other than that you are right as usual. I'll probably do the same thing in terms of grabbing easy to get Gems myself. But I'm not trying to race anything so no hurry.

And yeah we know about the CI changes. It appears they are not finalized yet, though. Kripp mentioned Chris telling him we will see the latest (big-ish) changes soon, once the patch notes are released!

@Valmar, think this will be my summoner build with OB, w/o taking the 2nd totem:

I just can't wait to try the summoning witch :D

Interesting with CI, thanks. I will check at this too ;)

In Kripp's latest video, he talks about a possible change to CI to come with open beta, in which you would no longer be immune to chaos, but have a strong resistance and have to take some connected nodes to get the Energy Shield boost that CI provides currently. How would that affect this build?

Depends on the build you're doing? I didn't post a single build, I posted cores of multiple builds and options. If you pick CI and CI is changed, obviously it affects your build, if you don't pick CI, it doesn't. Regardless the viability of summoner is not linked in any way or form to CI. Wether or not you take it after the changes is still up to you like it was in the current build(granted it was more an obvious choice currently and in a nerfed state it might be more of an actual choice).

Awesome Guide. Thanks a bunch!

I'm going CI anyway! Pah!

Btw. does Conduit work for Minions? Never thought about it until now. Is that what all cool kids have been doing all the time already? Blood Rage Conduit pewpew?

Reduced the life progression of summoned minions (skeletons and zombies). Increased their base life and added a small amount of general elemental resistances have been added.

Hm, early game buff to summons for a late game nerf. Gotta test that stuff out yo.

This is also an indirect nerf to Minion Instability, but I wish they put in the hard numbers in the notes so we can at least have some numerical basis to determine the nerf amount.

Ok I did a pass on the guide, tried to fix CI related stuff, removed the CI builds until we have the OB tree, adjusted a lot of stuff based on my current perception of skills and such so it's more accurate. Mostly the same guide but some of my opinions on stuff has changed so I fixed the guide to fit(like templar build or EK power etc).

And Unimatrix no Conduit doesn't work on minions, it only works on party members which minions are not. Blood Rage+Conduit would be a must for summoners otherwise.

Yeah I wasn't sure. If it did work everybody and their neighbours would be using it, so I kind of figured it didn't ^^

Just wanted to make sure.

Thanks mate. So back to Spectre gorillas it is :P
