Mr. @hercanic, do you think slave drivers are any good?

@ gaucetank12345:
" You can certainly give them a whirl, we're flexible enough to accommodate. I approach our minions with the mindset of Division of Roles. People tend to get caught up in maximizing damage that they forget how important coverage, defense, mobility, utility, and adaptability can be. Slave Drivers are powerful, but have limited coverage. We already solve our bossing with Skeletons. Map clear is where we spend most of our playtime, and most trash monsters don't have more than 20k life. Clear doesn't need power, it needs coverage and speed. So why not make it the best it can be? We have our Barrage in Skeletons, so we just need our Tornado Shot. Spectres with Unending Hunger are perfect for this task. |

Thanks I will try to fix my gear.
So herald of agony is not needed in this build? I currently have this gem in my boots if that makes any difference. |

" That's pretty much exactly what this build is all about: unleashing multiple types of minions, most of which are 5-6L. " We use none of these. " Pretty much, yes.[/quote] Hej @Hercanic, thanks for quick response! OK - so I CAN use all of the minions, but I´m not in need of? So it will work with some tweaks on equipment, that only spectres + zombie work? May I ask WHY we don´t use necromantic aegis? :) OK, will just look into it then, thanks! |

@Hercanic
could you give an advice on my gear in way to improve dps and keep surviablity.also if there is anything wrong with it, i mainly focusing on UBER ELDER and clearing maps quick to redo it and delve when i have sulphite. i am using ES shield/gloves atm for more ES.fire/lightning damage on claw to proc EE through Cyclone.will change shield sockets to immortal call maybe unless there is something better. any suggestions are appreciated am struggling against uber elder since screen is always clustered with minions, its hard to keep track of everything ,so i thought more dps will shorten the fight. Thanks |

" " I can't give good advice if I haven't fully tested the new stuff. =o) " Use Melee Splash on Skeletons during Blight encounters. It can provide exponential damage. I talk about this in "Trouble/crashing in Blight maps" of the mini-FAQ. I also highly recommend Feeding Frenzy over Minion Speed for Skeletons. Their Dash is just so good. You don't need Wraithlord, Bones of Ullr, or Kalisa's Grace. You'll also want an Shaper/Elder-influenced weapon that gives a lot of support affixes to your Zombies. I'd only use Empower when your weapon has at least +1. Right now, all it's giving is one level, which is worth ~10% more damage and life. Eventually, when you can get a +1 weapon and craft +2 Supports and can afford a L4 Empower, all together this will add +7 levels, which is quite a big difference and beats out any other support gem you could use. But if it's only granting one level? Other supports would be better, for the time being. @Hercanic Thank you so much. [quote]I can't give good advice if I haven't fully tested the new stuff. =o)[/quote] I appreciate this reply so much xD You legend Melee splash got it. So just switch between that and splash for blighted maps. When I eventually find another. " So what should I try to look for. I suck at farming currency.. still new so haven't found anything better yet. I have your guide printed next to me while gaming so looking for those items on your build but yeah no luck. " I am looking patiently for a good claw and hubris. I have some in a "Possible Craft Tab" but Unless I pick up something decent I don't want to waste my little currency on the low level Items.. when I start finding shaper and elder stuff then I will try craft.. I haven't encountered the elder still trying to get this one map to progress with shaper story..

So what should I use in place of empower while I level it up in second weapon slot. (I have some gems leveling in second weapon slot like melee splash and IFS) P.S THANKS SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU DO Est.

" Until you have a +1 claw and a good empower, the best is most likely minion damage + feeding frenzy for your zombies in the claw. As for the claw itself, there's a few not very expensive which could be a good boost: essentially until you target the rare and expensive +1 gem + maim + other support + support gem level craft, you can go with any claw giving you two useful supports for your zombies (like faster attacks, elemental damage, etc.). Just be careful with mods that could give you unwanted elemental damage (like %phys as extra cold) For wraithlord replacement (it's still good and useful obviously): any helm with at least +2 minions and other good stats (ideally +3 minion and minion damage support, but that's expensive). For the boots, you'll be better most likely with boots giving fortify support and more movement speed / life / resists than what bones give. The +1 spectre level is nice but probably not worth it enough to use bones in that build (but the expensive end target will probably be a pair of boots with 35% ms, fortify, +1 spectre level, high life / % life). For the same reasons, endgame for rich people, a good +1 max spectre chest will be really great, but until then just look for a good ES base with high ES and ideally also a high life bonus, as life gives you both direct EHP increase (obviously) and indirect EHP increase through spirit offering, as with more life you'll gain more ES from spirit offering.
