Witch - [2.6] Zombie summoner - 6 Big Zombies - Forum

if it turns out zombies are not very good even after the buffs do you think this build could transition into golem build without having to respec to much?	Posted by knutzi#1282 on Mar 3, 2017, 12:20:33 PM Quote this Post
Bandits: kill all. Save oak in normal if you want to be life based Yes, you can easily switch to golems. Most minion builds are very similar	Posted by allana#1483 on Mar 3, 2017, 12:35:44 PM Quote this Post

So while you can do srs and infact i strongly recommend srs while leveling any summoner .. for the sake of really tasting an actual zombie build i strong suggest not using temporary minions.. and simply see how far you can go with making the zombies your total focus i was planning to run a life mom eb build (without going ci, im not plaing much cause mass effect andromeda comes on 21th) i wanted to go monties and severed in sleep to free up the poison socket and use a +1tabu/skin if the slam with two threshold jewels can get affected by aoe gems and actually do fine for clear. plan was raise zombie - minion damage - melee phys - empower - inc aoe / conc instead of splash - faster attacks disregarding if it works or not, what gem links would you suggest in that kind of setup (montie+severed in sleep setup with a +1 gems chest, i would get my +2 zombies from ullr and running talsiman stones to get a decent undying flesh amy) i would for sure concider going umbi belt if i had more time to invest gathering ci gear, but this way the only expensive item would be +1 chest (not really that expensive +1 tabus go for 1-2ex) and the cutlass. umbi + ci would cost quite alot more currency to feel comfortable in hc to run without flasks to support the char. any thought salty? would really appreciate tapping into your knowledge	Posted by DerKobold16#7234 on Mar 3, 2017, 12:43:24 PM Quote this Post

Hey thank you for sharing your thoughts, this helps me a lot since i am going to start with a LL BM version. Still not sure about linking though, for sure there will have some testing to be done. But what about Multistrike, isn't it worth going for?	Posted by n3d#0600 on Mar 3, 2017, 1:30:43 PM Quote this Post

Multistrike locks them in place, I want them to deal big enough hits to kill all trash in one hit essentially	Posted by allana#1483 on Mar 3, 2017, 1:46:02 PM Quote this Post

Only one you can use then realistically is Femurs of the Saints which is not very good.. Here's a link to the first 40 or so levels http://poeplanner.com/AAYAAF8zAAAt34rpAkuuGyXZW20ZCPTAVGpDfRhr2-yKTLMEB4PbVcY6WLzqIvRsC5Mn74j5N9fPSbG-isrTtAzqug18V8ko-oLH0_sTbAZJaqy4kxzc6-6a4EWdU1IVJ4yxAAAAAAA= I updated the second post in this thread with my plan for early in legacy. I'll update it a bit more later on when I've gotten to play a bit :]	Posted by allana#1483 on Mar 3, 2017, 1:56:00 PM Quote this Post
