Kay's Summoner Memorial Page | New Guide is linked inside!

I've been using this guide (w&s) for my first poe (SSF/PS4) playthrough and it is so much fun! Thanks for all the detail and the act by act instructions.

I am now level 60 in act 7. I have unfortunately leveled my gems past the recommended level for some e.g. Armageddon Brand is now level 8, Cast When Damage is more than 5 and Immortal Call is more than level 7.

Is this a deal breaker? should I buy and relevel these?

Also, why are the precision and desecrate runes not capped? what do you get out of leveling them?

The low level Arma Brand just saves on mana cost. There is no benefit to using a high level gem. So level 1 is enough. Same for desecrate. It is simply used to create corpses for offering and a level 1 is enough.

CWDT is a little complicated. I recommend level 5 because it's roughly 10-15% of total life. Some people prefer to have it at a different level, so it covers 30% of total life. Others will say keep at level 1. If you are comfortable with the level you have, keep using it.

Precision is just for a small extra boost. Higher level gives more DPS, but reserves more mana. You can even drop it from the build.

Hit 100 :D Cheers Kay. One of the smoothest builds I've played in a long time (and I've been playing non-stop since 2013/2014). Thanks again. Awesome build!
I will write something here when I can think of something clever and amusing.
Hello, Key! I'm from Russia. I play with your assembly. It is very good.
I changed it a little because I don’t have such things, but still really like it.
Do tell me, 2 curses work if a passive skill is not taken on a tree?
and what is the best way to use curses? tagged armageddon or blasphemy?
thanks in advance!
Thanks for this guide. I rolled a second necro using your build to look for alternatives since zombies will most likely be gutted next league.

Though I'm still hoping to be able to run baron necro next league, your build is very smooth to level with. I played yours as mostly ssf, just buying quality gems just to make things faster. It's definitely a great starter build. I made it to 83 and red maps so far with only 8 deaths. Most of those were just me ignoring resistance upgrades going into part 2.

I'll probably use this to start and decide later if I want to swap into strength stacking for baron zombies, but I could see running this all the way.
Thank you for this build. It`s awesome!

Thank you! I'm glad you have enjoyed the build and that it was smooth playing.

Hopefully the balance changes for 3.9 won't impact the build too much and it will still be a good league starter.

If you want to use 2 curses, you need "You can apply an additional Curse". You can get this from the passive tree or from items. For example, there is a syndicate craft (3ex) for chest like this:


The benefit is small for the cost, so I don't recommend it now.

I like Arma Brand + Curse on Hit because blasphemy need 35% mana reserve for every curse.

Thank you. It's good to know that the build works as advertised (SSF + starter)!

I'm hoping the balance changes don't damage the build too much, but even with a loss of DPS it will still be powerful.

Hello kayella did you take a look at some of the new items? Maybe the belt looks interesting (or the shield with necro aegis but I dunno how would work).
