So it that case, should I aim for Montegrul as my BiS rather than Severed in Sleep? Since poison has been nerfed? Or is there a better end-game weapon for high-budget builds?

Hey,

Montegruls is BiS, correct.

Hey Ghazzy, what are your thoughts on using United in Dream, after they changed poison? What woud be the new BIS weapon for this build?

Hey,

It's fine tbh but Montegruls would still be better. And cheaper!

Poison is now not based on your initial hit, but on a base value, that can be scaled through passives/gems. Seems like its only worth if u specialize in it, which would mean you lose alot of initial hit damage. What about DW, what would the BiS weapons be for single target boss damage?

so poison is still ass even with the more bleed/poison damage from the melee physical damage gem?

lets put it this way. if it doesnt cost you a gem slot. it is nice to have . if it does . it isnt.

so if you use united in dream.. it is nice to have ... especially for the leech. but the damage dots do now is at a point where it is simply quicker to stack up front damage .

that is my opinion on it anyway


frankly the leech is the more interesting bit on united . it is the single largest source of minion leech you can get by a decent margin


for clearing trash in low maps that dont matter i would honestly either use united , severed or queens escape.

montre is good for getting beefy zombies .. but there is something to be said about losing half of your minions when i relates to clear speed and how minion accuracy works

When you have a moment do you have a up to date passive tree?

came across your video but I notice in the current tree you don't EB/MoM did you forgo this all together with 3.0 changes

The tree is updated for 3.0. The video is as stated in the thread made for 2.6. When time allows during the Hamburger league I will run all my builds to update the video footages :)

BiS for single target is still Montegruls + Victarios Charity shield.
Poison scales from damage modifiers such as minion damage for minions, but it is still not better then montegruls grasp for zombies :)

Poison is actually still strong for a few minion builds just not zombies :)

@Saltychipmunk:

Dunno what to do about you bro, I always quote everyone and respond to their questions but most of your comments I'm like "let's just @ him and type "+1""

i like to think of it as contributing without having to make my own build guides or videos since i lack the talent and patience.

Hello Ghazzy,

Thank you for this amazing build. I really want to play some sort of Necromancer during 3.0 and I am hesitant between your build (this one) and this other SRS/Zombie build I have found on youtube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUvI2Bv9lW0

According to you, which one would be better in the long run for the upcoming expansion?

Thank you for your time.

Hey,

love the build, but are you going full life in 3.0 ? no more mom/eb like previously? Why no MoM it has been buffed btw :)
Also why did you take EE?
otherwise great build

cheers

SRS > everything else . might as well be a meme at this point. all srs need to function is 3 points in the nearest duration bubble. after that assuming you are a conventional summoner the rest is taken care of by passives and ascendancy points.

they are pretty much free dps.

Hey,

Cheers!
Considering my long time experience with end-game summoner builds in Path of Exile, and the fact that I never post guides that are not minmaxed to their best potential by my knowledge. I can't say that I would promote any other build than mine for a proper Montegruls Zombie build.

However, SRS builds will always be "stronger/faster" in general compared to Zombies, and in that case I would forward you to my Baron SRS build which literally can do anything.

Hey,

I'm aware of the buffs and after careful consideration this is without a doubt going to be the best approach for the build :)

EE is used as we are having the Hatred aura for our Zombies.
