loving this build so far, never played a summoner before. it's a big change to the usual skill builds. only problem i'm having so far is survive-ability. i seem to die almost instantly before i get a chance to do anything, or i get really low and struggle to regen shield without vaal pact.

regarding leveling i tried dual totem and firestorm but both seemed inferior to the matua tupna zombie/multi/splash setup with spell totem srs/multi/splash/added fire/melee dmg i tried. the zombies were destroying everything and the totem could sustain 13 minions which helped a lot on breeches and bosses

Hmm. Survivability is definetly something that will come with more experience to summoners id say. Compared to vaal pact leech builds you'll really have to let minions do the work and try to kite around as much as possible. Your gear/tree seems solid enough, so Id say its between not yet being at powerful temp chains and a matter of getting the hang of it. You'd be amazed btw what an enhanced temp chains does. Can say Id rather not run %less curse/hexproof maps if they have too much dmg mods, now im almost 97 and trying to push lvls.

About leveling, hmm. I never actually tried matua tupna. thats actually not a bad idea for early minion gem lvls (zombies do really benefit from that)

ye, it's definitely practice. was struggling on t6 at the start but i'm doing t12s with ease at the moment.

i switched to 20q curses with enhance but the mana multiplier left me only 7, which isn't enough to cast shield charge or convocation. i guess i need more intelligence on gear to get to 9 to be able to cast both?

last question, is there any tips to crafting a helm with the essence? you just buy a ton of them and hope for a good roll or is there a better approach?

thanks again

Leary,

Think the golem version can do shaper? Same setup except flame golem 6L + golem jewels a few less spectre nodes?

Did you try this?

As a completely poor player, new to the game...
What should I get first? Weapon or Chest? I'm currently using the Severed in Sleep and a Tabula for the 6 link.
And if my goal in my first league is to kill end game bosses, should I get my Shav with 4B1G1R as your Sahper setup build and get used to play with Evangelists? I really like the clearing of Sentinels but if it's better to play with Evangelists I will adapt.

Many thanks!!!
