Here's an Uber Elder kill. Dom blow minions die too much. Enhanced Vaal Fallen and Herald of Purity carry.

I know, that's why i want to rely less and less on minions, but still keep them as a bonus damage source, on my new Champion variant

thoughts on HoP builds as league starter uber lab farmers? should I go slayer/jugg builds instead? I did uberlab last league on a 4link and leveling gear easily enough, but is it efficient enough compared to other builds?

You could go for a jugg / summoner type build , for uber lab farming, based on attack speed for good minion sustain, and the high survivability from ascendancy, but i don't know if it would be that good for end game content.
If you are talking STRICTLY about uber-lab farming, then YES , i would say it will shred Izaro really fast, with a proper skill tree and items...

@dr0guletz nice to see you still keeping forum active and replying.

I did some summon builds last league and ended with dom blow before stopping early on last league and doing another one this league.

Any thoughts on hungry loop ring set for either convocation or maybe animated guardian? Not too sure.

convocation seems cool since you can buff your minions every time they teleport to you. Not sure how well it would work or what gems to use in it though.

Also I see one of your earlier replies saying the minions aren't doing much damage? Is that because you did not go guardian and went champion?

Hi there, well the fact that minion will not be doing the majority of the damage is intentional.
I`m planning to be the main damage dealer in the melee-summoner hybrid setup.
You'll see in my champion variant, that i`m running this league, in the paste bine posted in the guide, that i have around 1.5 mil dps (with t1 gear i mean) and my minions have around 130k dps each (x9 sentinels) so thats another milion and something dps.
What i thought was the downside of the Guardian build was his attack speed , and the fact that you had to rely on summoning the minions through hits, not having any damage yourself...so, in a scenario that you would not summon any minions, or they die as soon as they appear, you would be fu**ed ...for sure.

I only use convocation as a CWDT setup, to easly call my team by my side for insta burst damage, and probably some projectile damage mitigation (as they do take some of the projectiles themselves)

The upside of the guardian was his tankyness, one way i wanted to compensate that on my Champion is with very high attack speed, that will give us the chance to dodge skills with whirling blades with lightning speed if needed. (plus fortify and loads of armor and stuff)

I`m happy you like the build, but it's actually just a personal opinion about who's better in what case, in the end, everyone will chose what suits their play style more. This league, i wanted speed (farming AND boss killing) so i went with the modified champion and until now ....it's working BETTER than i thought possible to be honest.
