Thanks for your patience and effort @Herantic!

I have read your guides, FAQ and leveling thread several times. Quite a lot of things to remember and take in to a relatively new player. Minions rocks and this build really shines now I got the proper/bought starting gear at lvl 62.

Such a huge difference in having GMP and Frost Sentinels!
And the shield being so cheap at 1c. Couldnt get RRG though only RRR, so I added a Stone golem for now. Any other alternatives for a red gem?

Rest of the gear were purchased for 0.5-2c max but made huge difference. Found a functional gloves with poison and faster projeciles that works for now. Wont need the added chaos dmg jewel for a while but will look for it later.

The Wasp Nest was pretty worthless as I discovered. Did some experimenting after my post.


My main concern now is how this build impacts the performance of the game when I discover monoliths and start to spam lightning balls. Probably my 10 year old i7 CPU that is pushed to its limit...

Would switching to Culling Strike instead of GMP for charged dash do anything? I can try the other alternatives later (Fortify and the wall gem)

Hi all,
I chose this build as a starter this season, no regrets ! Very smooth to play.

I'm one of those who don't like charged dash so much so i'm trying to use cyclone instead, maybe we can do something nice there.

Anyone has advice for this or any insight on how to set it up ?

Thanks !

Just replace Charged Dash with Cyclone. Nothing else really needs to change. Try to get as much movement speed as possible.

Thanks for your answer, do you mean we keep the cast while channeling setup with ball lightning/mult projectiles on cyclone ?

Right now i'm casting summon raging spirit while channeling cyclone, it's fun but it doesn't feel very efficient. I also added infused channeling for more tankiness.

I might go back to initial charged dash as it seem to remain the best option anyway, getting the life gained on spell is annoying sometimes tho.

Thanks again for your work Hercanic !

I'm new to this game, and I'm currently level 44 and the average damage for charged dash is 56.1 and for Ball lighting it is 32.8. Isn't that a bit too low? How do you increase it? It doesn't seem to be that effective against the mobs in act 5 for example. Thanks for the guide.

As a summoner/necromancer, our damage primarily comes from our minions, not from the skills we use directly. We mostly use Charged Dash/Ball Lightning to apply Poison (to summon Herald of Agony) and Elemental Equilibrium (to boost our minions' cold/fire damage); the damage we deal is less important.
