Thought I'd post an update since I see others are jumping in too! Level 76...and dropped SRS as well in order to free up 2 4L spots and get a CWDT done and also fully support charged dash. I...I'm still loving the build, it'll almost certainly be my new league starter. I just wish there were more builds like this that are simple to play, end game viable, and don't have unique items (or anything really) that need to be purchased.

Hey Blacksheep1775. I'm glad you're liking it so much! It's awesome to do you own thing. There is a lot a defense in the one 4-link you're not using instead of Spectres and Skeletons. But if you just find it "impossible" to get rid of Spectres, there are some really good defensive ones that work pretty good at protecting you. Good luck the rest of the map!

Hi, I am totally newbie to the game
Could I ask about:

"

Act 3 - A Fixture of Fate - Reward - Level 31 - Blasphemy Support
Act 3 - A Fixture of Fate - Purchase - Level 31 - Generosity Support

About "Purchase" I do not get it. It means we can exchange something with NPC to get gem skill?

Oh nvm, I am so dump, didn't notice trade option :(.

Hey leohero923! Thanks for trying the build! Don't worry about it. :) Ask any questions you like. There are a lot of positive people helping out and we all want new people to enjoy and understand the game. So don't be shy or embarrassed to ask anything. I hope you're liking the game!

And please feel free to give advice on the build, the guide layout, anything. Suggestions from new players are just as valuable as from the experienced players.

Sweet build followed it for my first SSF character. Your loot filter with some small tweaks for my liking is super helpful also. Smooth ride, destroying everything I done so far. Only played for a couple of days so tier 9 maps and delve 130ish.

How is endgame boss fights with this build any tweaks needed?
Also why all the mana regen in the passives? You are only using mana for convocation and charged dash or am I missing something?

What changes have, or would, you make?

I find all maps really easy. Obviously some map rolls make you need to pay attention a little bit more, but for the most part, I find I can zone out pretty good most of the time :).

As for the end-game bosses, the build itself holds really well. I find the biggest issue (for new folk) is simply knowing the fights and boss mechanics...so knowing when to hit Convocation to help your Zombies avoid "one-shot-kill" hits. Almost all of the boss battles have you move around lots, so the only build specific thing to remember in that regard is that curses aren't as efficient on Guardians and The Shaper. So a big part is keeping EE and Fortify up while avoiding the "one shot" hits. The Zombies do great 99% of the time (Convocation).

You're not missing anything. The mana regen is coincidental (but I do love life regen). The skills we use that require mana don't need any mana regen really. But it can work with the build if you end up having enough gear with mana that you can raise your zombies without turning off an aura. You can then raise your minions mid-combat. But that's only a minor positive. Most of the time if I find I'm in the rare circumstance where my zombies are dying...I'll notice I don't think have enough zombies, I'll look to see how many I have, and if they're actually dying, by the time I'm finished checking, I'm usually dead. Zoning out has it's "cons" ;).

I hope you keep liking the build. Let me know what you think as you get deeper.

Thanks for sharing mate!

I love niche builds. This is where POE really shines!

Thanks for the kind words! (Sweet Alpha banner.) And I agree. POE has endless character build options...and the more tweaks they make, the more build ideas become viable.

Thanks again.

So I'm actually getting ready to try out things without my Skeletons and Spectres but I noticed in your guide that CWDT on that link doesn't specify a level - which normally means take it to level 20. I'm assuming, possibly wrongly, that it should be level 1?

As a side note, I went on poe.trade looking for some replacement gloves that didn't have cold damage added so I can get EE but I failed to realize how (relatively) expensive it would be to get another pair of gloves with the minion damage in them. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a pair that won't break the bank so that I can keep transitioning towards the end goal of the build.

If there is no number beside them, put them to 20. The CwDT with Holy Relic, Stone Golem, and Shield Charge has all gems going to 20.

EE is a bonus. I'm sure you've noticed by now that your minions don't really need the damage boost 99% of the time. It's the boss battles where you'll notice EE. Feel free to keep the gloves and not select EE. On the other hand, if the Minion Damage that the gloves give are minor, you could always sell them for good cash and select EE.

You're not really in a position where there is a wrong choice to make. Must be nice ;-).

Hey, I've run this build in Delve, and it's so much fun I'm taking it to Standard with me when Delve ends.

I'm a little curious about a couple of things. First, at lvl 76, I have 2758 life. But my CWDT setup with summon holy relic, molten shield, and summon stone golem doesn't trigger until i take 2621 damage! That CWDT gem is lvl 17. Have I missed something on damage?

Secondly, I pulled a Saqawal's Nest, 6-linked it (got lucky, only about 800 fuse!)(and spent some chaos on Saqawal's Talons for the Aspect of the Avian), but have been through more chrome than I care to think about trying to get rid of that last green socket ... gave up, and jsut stuck a poison gem in there. Do you see that as a problem? Is there a better green support gem I could use? Gonna try a Withering Touch gem for now ...

Here's a pastebin link to my pob: https://pastebin.com/xr2BfcCi

Did I miss something?
