Updated thread with current progress.

Looks good dude. I have dual totem summoner with necromantic aegis. Getting my ass handed to me in act3 merciless atm :) That shield seems to be the best shield for NA necro.

Updated with latest progress! Completed merciless.

Please add that you are playing softcore, since a build like this is not really doable at hardcore. Big difference in playstyle / build choices.

Noted.

Is the int (mana) really so needed that you spend 7 points to get 10% spell damage (makes no sense) and 4 int 2 str nodes? Just seems to me it would make more sense to drop thoes nodes and pick up either dual curse quicker or more energy shield since you are now CI. I just started my first summoner and was looking for ideas so I am asking not saying you wasted points as a fact. Without knowing how mana intensive the build is I'm not sure if you are able to lose 60 int. At the verry least why the 10% spell damage at the start of the witch tree? That point seems much better spent elsewhere.

Thanks for pointing it out!

This is because I started off on that path to get Minion Instability as fast as possible. Now that I've looked at it, I agree that some of those points can be removed as I have connected them in a different path.

I am using some str-based gems and a lot of auras. I will try removing them and see if I can still use my equipment. But thanks for pointing out where I could get some extra skill points.

*edit*: I re-specced those 7 nodes! Thanks for your suggestion. I'm not trying to get dual curse yet, as my survivability isn't top notch. So I head towards the 20% ES / 10% all resist node on the left.

Updated build!

When you can, will you please put up a video of you playing? just wanted to see how you roll.

Also, How is it possible that you have enough mana to run all those auras and still summon and cast? Did you intentionally not level up certain auras/gems? How much mana do you have?
