{3.0} Necronomicon / Raise Spectre Monster Info...[The Unofficial Minion Wiki]

well kinda, the curse total is for a monster, even if you are in a party and both curse with 1 curse each only 1 curse will affect the monster at any one time.

hmm think il try something a bit squishy but still kinda fun next league. The idea is that i will run MoM with the 3 new nodes behind them and il have about 500 mana afther auras are counted. just for some extra layer, nothing big, but everything helps, il end up whit aprox 7.5k es + some hp and 81 in the resistances. il have 6 auras, and can swap in clarity if i want in stead of desecrate.

Gear is as following

Reason for this weapon is that it gives free spell echo, and then i have 6L both spectres and flame golems. The 6th link will be either fire pen or controlled destruction.


This will make my AG and zombies fairly strong, il will probably be satisfied whit a 5L and skip minion damage.


Gotta push those auras


Basic gear for ll summoner realy :)

Its not a starter build, and it wont be cheap but it seems kinda fun and strong, ideas input is apriciated before i spend a buttload of time/currency to try it out :)

I also figured i can make 6 auras whit a +2 helm and free up my chest for something else if i manage to get +1 boots whit a lev 4 enlighten so it turns into a lev 5, but then mom wont be worth it, but i guess 300+ base es is realy good as well in stead of the evasion on alphas.

I´ve recently bought a "severed in sleep" which applies poison on hit for minions with phys/chaos dmg.

So far my build is based on EE with Elemental Weakness and Fire Sentinels.
Fire Sentinels don´t trigger the Poison on hit unfortunately.
So to boost the dmg of my spectres, I was thinking of respecing from EE and using ranged Spectres with phys/chaos dmg instead.

Will the "Knitted horrors" work here? Will this be a good idea?
Knitted horrors have melee (phys) and pierce (which applies bleeding, so chaos).
Which is the "main dmg" type of the knitted horrors? Is it physical? Chaos?
Will the "bleeding effect" double dip with the "poison on hit"?

This is the weapon I´m talking about.


Reverting from EE would help me as it would free one slot (arc --> lightning --> vulnerable to fire) and I could use Concovation, which is a huge dmg boost as well if used correctly.

Is there a better spectre for this weapon if you consider the fact that I want the "poison on hit2 to be applied? Thanks for help.

Knitted doesn't hit fast enough for poison to be good.

Only two options atm are evangelist or blade vortex. Both of these choices clear rather slow compared to fire based spectres.

OK... crap then.
Thank you for your super fast reply! I´ll just stay where I am then.

It really shines in animate weapon, poison srs builds thou. Or poison chaos golem build.

Or you can use it with evangelist + slashed miscreations. It's really powerful for single target.

with zombies poisoning everything, flame sents etc still get the 5% life leech vs poisoned targets so it adds a looot of survivability to them. Mostly unneeded tbh, but could come in handy at times vs tougher bosses.

Are there any overlooked spectre monsters that would benefit from all of the strength I'm stacking with the baron? I was just going to go flame sentinel but my zombies and SRS are hitting really hard so I'm curious if there is anything else that would be fun to use.

oh wow, did not know about that one. I completely overlooked the fact new uniques where being added :)

well dont forget to pick up the violent dead gems, i'm not sure how many locations it can be used and i'm pretty sure the increased damage of the slam is additive not multiplicative with all the other 'increased' minion/generic damage they get from passive tree/skills etc.

hmm. Life leech to you is pretty substantial given how much damage they put out. i wonder if ghost reaver works with that? I'm not sure how you'd go about reaching 1000 strength though

Also zombies movement speed isnt capped like spectres, so anything that boosts their speed would be good. Concentrated effect and minion speed supports maybe?

*edit*

ok forgot about the actual question lol. Not sure. blade vortex and evangelists dont do melee physical so thats out. Most actual melee spectres are just too slow to be useful. Even if they OHKO everything they touched, the zombies are probably already doing that. i'd stick with flame sents (tried iron will once, that support doesnt work with spectres unfortunately).

*edit*
removed bit about 3+ violent dead, capped at 2

Violent Dead are limited to 2 jewels, I'm getting them shortly once I farm a few more chaos and levels.

The baron is super fun if anyone else is curious. Stacking enough strength was easier and cheaper than I thought it would be and it made leveling with SRS even more of a joke. The only downside I've found is no 3D art :(
