Where do i get revenants exactly ? Which wp ?

after you defeated Kaom and Daresso, you can enter belly of the beast via the wp in crystal vein.
Later when you have wp of the harvest, you can get higher lv of those revenants.

Is there any suggestion for 1h weapon pls ? Until I afford the Midnight Bargain. My resist is capped now, and i'm running Discipline & AA.

Thansk !

I been running brightbeak with leap slam + faster attack

I am running Ephremeal Edge sword for the great ES boost as a hybrid.

Would you run Faster Casting over slower projectiles?

Its multiplicative with Echo

Good build and the core of it is what I'm running now on my lvl 91 Witch (though mine is low life using Prism Guardian).

Zombie generally won't have capped resists without Purity unless you have 3x minion resist jewels and same with Revenant (even though they are elemental resist the last time I checked). I strongly recommend picking up Purity (just purity of elements is enough) to help them out.

If you need a 1H weapon before Midnight, you can try Montregul or a wand/scepter with defensive stats and faster cast speed (useful for your CoH setup and supported spells like Flesh offering, convo...).

For ele reflect map, I change Light Pen to Added Chaos and Minion damage to Minion life (if needed). My phylosophy is spectres and zombie should be near immortal due to the inconvenience of having to re-summon them if they ever die. Thus, I rather have a bit lower damage to keep them alive than risking their lives.

I have tried Atziri with the build and it was a breeze. The only thing you have to watch out is the mirror one so smart Convo in split phase and swapping Added Cold instead of Chain could be an option.

@Taxi

I like to pick your brain.
My end goal for my summoner is to eventually do Atziri on Warbands.

Wouldn't minion and totem resist be better than taking aura space for purity?
Am currently running zombies + minion resist + minion life + fortify/animate guardian/mstrike

I know they start with 35/35/35 all res according to this datamine:
http://poedb.tw/us/gem.php?n=Raise+Zombie

so you need to make up the other 40 with at least a level 16 minion/totem res.

Also I had not experienced revenants doing so much damage they die to reflect?

I have faced some extremely high fire damage and lightning dmg from igna and some map bosses, so maybe purity of light/fire to raise the max res would be a good idea.

Most of the time my minion just dies from super high physical damage like the Desert map archer boss. I have no idea how to handle that other than spamming seething/animation

Minion resist is an OK gem, though you have to sacrifice 2 slots for it to support both zombies and spectres, that's why I prefer using aura. I am also low life using Prism Guardian, so I can run 6 auras at once without even 1 enlighten gem. Purity of Elements makes it very easy to cap your resists as well. Obviously I can also go with other purities (like AngryAA), though I find Purity of Elements the most well-rounded. As I said, my choices of Aura can be changed easily depends on map. Currently run Wrath - Vitality - Haste on mana (linked with Generosity) and Discipline - P of Ele - Determination on life (in Prism Guardian). I can switch Determ to P of Fire and P of Ele to P of Lightning if needed (though I have done Atziri with no Purity of Fire or Light and all my zombies survive, just 2 spectres died to double Blast I think). Vitality is a crucial aura, because when linked with Generosity, minions just regen so much (my zombies tank Vaal oversoul smash and regen back to full life in 5 secs).

There's 1 node that gives 16% minion resist, and with P of Ele, your minion resists should be capped (not to mention the increase aura effect nodes). Phys damage can only be handled with Determ or Grace (I actually prefer Grace, though Determ is better if you need a switch to PoF).

Reflect is not a huge problem, though in a reflect map, the pack size/ population matter. If it's just small packs one by one, Discipline and Vitality will heal revenants back easily, but if it's a big continuous stream, they could die. Swapping Minion Damage out might be overkill, though I still recommend swapping Light Pen out to Added Chaos.

Anyone can give me an advice how rallying cry works with minions? Do i have to be near them so they get the dmg bonus or just near the enemies and when i get the buff minions have it as well?

How good does the gear need to be to keep the animate guardian alive in maps? Should i stack armour in chest/shield/gloves/boots or go evasion?
