Items You Need
Main Source of damage Helps start and keep up rampage and can be used as instant life flask. Minion Accuracy
Offensive Mechanics
-Dancing Dervish/Duo is the main source of damage, clear speed and single target. -Spectres are used to get the first kills to start rampage and boost single target dps. -Rampage give you and your minions Movement Speed up to 100% and huge boost to clear speed with other effects.
Defensive Mechanics
-Blind granted by one abyssal jewel apply to ALL your minions and make enemies miss attacks on you. -Taunt granted by one abyssal jewel apply to ALL your minions and make enemies deal 10% less damage on you. #Rampage is usefull for alot of defensive purposes 1- Detonate corpses in 30, 325 and 520 stacks can help you against Vaal DD and others corpse effects. 2- Stun enemyes in 15, 100 and 385 stacks can help you against alot of things like rare mobs, exiles, bosses, essence mobs...etc 3- 325 Stacks explodes nearby enemies and leave no corpses, can negate the effect of porcupines and others "on death" effects. How I Play
Spoiler
Enter in a map,start the rampage with herald of agony. Use offering and vaal haste, start running towards the next monsters. if the rampage timer is low pop one Worm flask so you can keep up, keep going... repeat... if the map have a separated boss room i pop one worm flask before entering the room and one before starting the fight if i feel necessary. During the boss fight just run around, use Vaal haste, Ball Lightning and offering. Against Bosses that have long imune phases bring 2 Writhing Jar so you can start rampage just with the flasks. Current Gear and Links (Check my profile for small updates)

For levelibg I just used a tabula or if you have a twink: quill rain 6link. The six link is unnecessary ofc. Toxic rain plus HoA. I respec after ive picked up enough minion nodes and reach the dervish level req.

Why is this a bad league starter?

" Leveling up and getting certain gear at the start may be a bit annoying. You're better off starting this build on your second character so that way your first character can farm or get the items needed to make the build. It will be a whole lot smoother and save you way more time. Starting a summoner build for league start is annoying in this regard. On top of starting as a Summoner build, you are also going to be using a Scion too. You have a steeper starting point compared to other builds for this reason. You might have to respec some points here and there too which is annoying and especially if you have no experience in playing a Scion. A Scion can start their skill tree from another class when you ascend to an Ascendant and finish your labs. *Want to try out some fun hipster builds?

hi, why is minion movement speed so important here? Does it scale dervish damage? Or it is just for them to move along?
I ask because I do not use movement speed bonus for minions and do not feel I need it, so if it s just related to your game style I m fine, but if it has other impact that just dervish deplacement speed, please enlight me! |

" From what I can see, the faster the dervishes move, the faster they finish their cyclone attacks and can move into attacking again. So, in effect, it appears to increase DPS, due to attacking faster. I have no solid numbers from this, just my views. Last edited by jaavaletdahaka on Jan 13, 2019, 8:05:57 AM

Thank you for taking your time to write this guide!. I really hope you can update it for 3.7 when patch notes are out :). Do you use 3 Worms or have you ever had problems to sustain the rampage?.
