Does anyone know if the Elemental resistance with Shields (15% elemental resist when holding a shield) is applied to your summons when combined with Necromatic Aegis? I would assume it does but does anyone here know for sure.

Resists on the shield (like kite-shields) will work, other things are your skills, not ur summons, so they wont.

Does anyone know if Necromantic Aegis applies +Maximum life on minions if that mod is available on a shield..

How viable is dual totem spork summoner in open beta? I started as a templar and at the moment I'm going for Minion Instability and other minion passives, after that I'll probably pick up some health and get dual totem.

Has anyone made a spec like that and how is it working out for you? I'd also like to see some templar summoner builds, to get some ideas myself.

my witch 100% dmg arc inflict now 1200 dps and only have 2 gem support item rarity and cast speed..... shock nova 2400 dps cold snap 1000 dps but my minions inflict more dmg 3 spectres 12 skkeletons and 9 zombies my current build lvl 65 play hard im up my all lvls playing solo yeah im crazy :D

I experimented for a while going double totem spork on my witch summoner. I didn't like the playstyle so specced out of it. Damage took a big hit also.
Currently running a double curse(enfeeble+chains usually) summoner HC health build with non totem spork for shock debuff. Going to spec into eldritch battery pretty soon to be able to start running multiple auras.

it's my first witch and frankly I am flabbergasted at how incredibly powerful the build is. Atm I am actually soloing HC merciless act3 without any problems at all. Ofc no news for people who have been playing PoE since before the OB, that summoners are this powerful. Feels awesome tbh. Would never believed I was going to be able to solo(except Vaal merci) my way this far in HC on my third PoE toon ever.

But to return to your question about double spork totem. As I wrote I tried it out for awhile, was at lvl59 I believe. I didn't liek the lack of damage. Could be because of my playstyle though. I always used one spork totem+one skele totem. The damage was lacking then. Used faster cast+spark+totem+fork.

I would imagine that in softcore it would be more viable since then you could afford to have two spork totems out at the same time and not always have one of them casting skelies. But its to dangerous in HC I feel. Sometimes all skeletons get crushed fast and if you at that point are going to throw out a totem it is to slow. You might get swamped.

Don't think there is any real must haves. I was planing to get the standard unique minion +health/dam/speed amu and whatnot but I don't think it is needed. At least not before doing maps. Haven't tried maps yet but just doing act3 merci playing selffound works nice.
