Not really. Left the league not long after I wasnt able to do the phoenix fight, and learned 2 other fights are poison immune. Ive gotten myself to 115/125 on the atlas and didnt really bother going on. Prob Can't do shaper with this build, but you for sure can try.

So far ive done everything easily, probably because i dont use the evangelists, i use the flames sentinels with gmp for mapping (really T1 or T16 is exactly at the same pace, i just run with my character and the rest falls instantly) and switch for slower proj or culling (depends on the mood). I suggest also switching haste for hatred against gardians but so far i've never had the need to do so (havent done the phoenix yet .. not dropped even though atlas at 120+).

Cheers, ill keep you uptaded about the phoenix and shaper fight, just need the lvl4 enhance and im good to go.

Well, I dont have any issues with evangelists either xD. Phoenix I got pretty recked because he puts the -max fire res debuff down, which just scales up with time, and the minions cant really handle that very well, since he does boatloads of fire dmg.

I tried it with a friend. This build most probably can't do it. He kills the zombies all the time and the sentinels always get caught in some damage they can't tank (beam, holes etc) so you end up losing them too with no way of replacing them. Multi-use convocation would help but unfortunately it's not available.

I believe this guy solved problems with minion survivability by block, and gaining frenzy charges seems to be much better than trying to stack auras. I wonder if he killed Phoenix or bought a fragment since every build which utilizes frenzy charges complains about dying minions.

Initially poison seems to be a better idea, but recent videos on youtube show pretty good performance on flame sentinels with max penetration.

His spectres do much better than mine did. Don't know what level they are though. Also it was my first try at the shaper so I didn't really know the fight.

I'm not gonna take aegis, but that 0,6% leech node might be worth getting since the sentinels are doing so much damage.

As I mentioned some time ago, it is pretty easy to get high level spectres. Basically, you will often get them on different maps even without sentinels, if you already have them from anywhere.

He has spectres with at least 67%/34% block, with 3% life regen on block and life leech which is usually neglected by everyone. I doubt your minions will survive without this; but another option could be life leech gem instead of chain.

The damage scales with -138% fire res. from curses and EE, and 37% fire penetration. Not sure what that means in terms of MORE, but I guess it can be up to 100% MORE damage on a mob with 75% res.

Hello fellow summoners ^^

I have tried Learys auramancer and am currently level 83. A lot of fun and good guide. Thx for that leary.

Even though itll be some or a lot of time if and when I can fight monsters like the shaper I was curious if this build is viable. So I checked youtube for (similar) summoner builds that might have tried the Shaper. That's when I stumbled over that video which was posted here.

I read the comments. He used T 15 and also T 17 sentinels and said that the sentinels didnt die even when standing inside the beam - whatever its called. They can actually tank that dmg. At least thats what he said and I think in the videos (he uploaded other variations of that build or more precisely he used different chest pieces e.g. vis mortis for an extra spectre and also a 5 link version) you can see a few times that they tank the beam. They dont die.

I have no idea how spectres would fare without the block/life leech/life regenration build but I would assume they just melt. His build is a little different obviously but I wonder if it is possible to alter the build from this thread without changing the fundamental low life, 7 aura approach. Spending some points for minion blocking instead and also life leech etc.

I havent played this game very long and i have no idea if that would be a good idea or not. So maybe you guys have some ideas on that. Its not really relevant for me now as I cant play an excessive amount of hours each week but some day in a few months it might be relevant and I have enoough orbs of regret to alter this build.

I really like having so much auras though. But when I try a build then I always like the knowledge that the build is capable of handling even the toughest bosses and situations eventually. I just dont like the idea that it can only bring you so far.

So eventually I will change the build if this build in its purest (no extra block/life leech for minions etc) auramancer form wont be able to handle the final boss.

Love this build and the auramancer though so dont wanne sound as if im not happy with the guide. Took a little time for me to adapt all the mechancis leary did state though that its not for beginners. Well, im a beginner but so far its all working as intended. I managed to get shavs at some point, i got all 7 auras turned on, almost max resist and just shy of 6 K es at level 83. Not sure if thats okay for the level or if im too low.

My gloves are old gloves and only have 83 es though im constantly looking for something like Leary uses with 200ish es on gloves. Im also gathering more currency for Elreons + maximum % engery shield and I prolly need more than one exalt for each ring if i get a bad roll? I only have him at level 6 atm so itll take some time. Theres also a few more shield nodes and all of that should easily propel me to over 8 k es in the next 7 levels i think.

But yeah, would be great if this thread could include some ideas concerning slightly altered versions of the builds to e.g. incorporate the blocking nodes for minions.

If that is even possible.

I believe you don't really need 7 auras since fire penetration + curses + frenzy charges provide more damage. The build which killed Shaper is low life too.

OK phoenix done easily even though map was 8 mods (minus res, increase life and attack speed for boss etc ...).
Need to gather fragments for shaper now.

OK SHAPER DOOOOOOONEEEE.

Was my first attempt ever, so i fucked up a bit the balls in the middle of the map making the fight harder than it should have been but it really isnt that hard otherwise.

Here is my changes though :

-flames sentinels with culling strike
-since i have a lvl 21 temp chain i didn't went for the three nodes of increase curse effect on top left of the skill tree and went for essence surge.
-i use bone offering for all guardians and shaper fights
-animated guardian instead of increase duration on the glove setup (lear cast, dying breath, zandestuh, rainbowstride, 3res and life gloves
- a 30% increase minion life belt with the node of life regen at the very top of the skill tree (21+ zombie life) and the 0.6 leech node
-last but not least : each guardian map and even shaper gives flames sentinels for desecrate ;)

Sounds fantastic man. Grats on bringing down the shaper monster.

Can you show your skill tree and also the gear/gems? That'd be great.

I also wrote langerz on youtube and asked if its possible to do shaper with this auramancer build though i didnt provide all the details concerning this build.

Here's what he replied:

'If you want me to look your build over I can but I''d be confident in saying you can (one of my questions was if I can do shaper with shavs and also the auramancer build from this thread). In order to do it theres only really 2 things you need to do. make sure you don't die which is mainly a matter of good positioning since its a mechanical fight and to make sure your spectres don't die. the damage over time from beam and vortex bypasses block so they are the threat. With block out of play basically all I have carrying my spectres is 125% minion life, (105% with vis mortis) the 0.6 leech on tree and 75 all res. just keep zana clear and you should be fine'

Here is passiv skill tree :(the node of essence surge wasnt taken at the time)

and stuff (on my profil, coz i dont know how to link it):

And by the way, spectres never came close to die, the hardest part was to keep the zombies alive ... had to do offering-desecrate-raisezombie-desecrate-offering etc etc ..

"Rhans" linked another build a bit above, quite different and i watched the vid, his zombies are like paper :/ Leary's build is much more consistant and does more damage. This is my opinion based on the video he linked of the shaper kill
