{3.10} Speaker for the Dead | The Mass Minion Summoner | League Starter, Leveling Guide 💀
" Thanks for explaining 90% of my deaths this league using your guide... I was expecting physical, but that did not make too much sense as noone was close by. I am not a real extreme PoE pro, but why is Chaos always ignored when it comes to resistances? Green stuff is also evil! :) My first attempts at this game included Chaos resist even capped until fellow told "you do not need it". Now I think I need it. More important than more HP at the moment. Perhaps GGG is trolling us because of that attitude with Betrayal... Anyway, I will depart from your build guide from now on and make me indestructible like I like it. Thanks for the ideas and the build - and for the awesome guide. Still the build with the most deaths I ever had before reaching mapping. |

" My chaos resistance is actually so bad it makes me want to cry haha. I have to play so carefully every time I run into an encounter :( |
|
Question on Spectres.. where do i get them from the start? I am almost done with act 3 but dont know where or which spectres to get yet.
Thanks! great guide and build so far, liking it. |

" So your saying just save up to afford more life on each piece of gear that I can and just continue to level up gems? I don't know how costly it will be to squeeze out another 545 flat life from gear. I am taking into account the gear your running/recommending in your guide but its out of my ballpark right now so I am curious if I just have to get used to dieing in low white maps and not even think about yellow map progression with this build right now? I don't want to keep dumping exalts into it if it will only barely run yellow maps. What would be my biggest upgrade priority other than try to figure out how to get more life on gear? I can grab a 6L rare chest for about 1ex but it will just be bit of life and resists, granted anything more than tabula gives but don't know if its worth it. So I am trying to prioritize what is best to spend the limited funds I have. I am slow when it comes to making currency in this game unfortunately so I don't want to waste on things I don't need. Thank you! |

Will definitely give this build a try!

Based on the complaints about Betrayal league I'm reading on Reddit, it sounds like the Betrayal encounters are very overtuned. 8k life Juggernauts are struggling. Many people are saying they even avoid them. So if these are what're killing you, then it's not unusual.
LGoH ring for spells will keep your life topped off against hordes of respawning enemies. Chaos Resistance will protect you from a lot of the harshest damage. Stay mobile, keep behind your minions, use defensive curses if necessary, and prioritize getting your life out of the 3-4k zone. That level of life is where one-shots are all too common. Pull some points out of damage if you have to. You've got the whole Scion life wheel and northwest Templar cluster with chaos resist at your fingertips. @ mtwilliams717: " Act 3's Solaris Temple has Flame Sentinels. Use them until Act 8, when you can get Frost Sentinels at Lunaris Concourse/Harbour Bridge (level 58/60) or Solar Guards at Solaris Concourse/Harbour Bridge (level 58/60). Remember to re-raise fresh Flame Sentinels as you work your way into higher level areas, so the Flame Sentinels' level can be updated to the same level. Check the level limit on the Desecrate and Raise Spectre gems to make sure they match or are above the level of the zone, or your Spectre will be limited to the lowest level of the three. @ MarkeMarke: " There was apparently a bug they just fixed in 3.5.0c that prevented people from unlocking the two and three socket recipes. " Aside from the socket method of coloring, which you'll have to look up how to unlock all the socket crafts (link in new Crafting section), unless GGG added something new to crafting or beast crafting for coloring, then your only other option is to pray to RNG with a stiff offering of Chromatic Orbs. @ krut0n: " You can replace the leveling helmet by this point with a 100+ life rare helm. 3.5k life is what's doing you in. At 4.5k you'll be okay, 5.5k you'll be fine, and 6.5k you'll be good. You have to get your life up, and stay behind your minions until you do. I can't promise anything about the Betrayal encounters, but all other content this build has not struggled with in the least. In other archetypes I've played, without huge investment, I had to worry about various map bosses, dangerous rare mod combinations, or absolutely couldn't run certain map mods (e.g. reflect), and dying was far more likely. This build has none of those problems. I'd just look for Temporal Chains or No Regen to see whether the map would be annoying or not. It's not immortal, but it's tankier than many ranged builds. It's not the best at any particular thing, but it has few weaknesses (mainly lack of natural recovery like leech, which is why we get LGoH for Spells). There are no insurmountable walls. You have many tactical options. Sometimes you need to be aggressive, like against Minotaur so he doesn't burrow. Sometimes you need to hang back and let your minions clear the way forward, like if map mods and monster type intersect into a particularly deadly combination and you're 95% to the next level and don't want any risks. Sometimes you need to retreat and breadcrumb your Skeletons, like with Abathox or certain Acid Lake bosses. Sometimes you need to swap gems to maximize your defenses with Enfeeble and perma-Fortify on Charged Dash, like deep Delve outposts where Cavestalkers cloak and get a free hit on you, or Enhanced Vaal Fallen leap slam so fast it looks like a teleport. But I've never had to skip content in any map because it was too hard. Compared to my other summoners, early on, around your level in fact, it can struggle with life, making it more vulnerable than my MoM summoners who'd also have 3.5k life, but with 1.5k mana for a total of 5k eHP, and would get to 5k/2k sooner than this build gets to 7k life. It's a growing pain, but it goes away with levels and steady but low investment. We need life and resists on gear, but that's literally all we need (aside from those Shaper/Elder affixes, I should say, but that's a want rather than a need). Other builds pay premiums for stacking crit, crit multi, added damage, and increased damage in addition to defenses. Last edited by Hercanic#3982 on Dec 12, 2018, 4:02:06 PM

does the main hand weapon matter at all? are there any good uniques forthis build?
this build is a ton of fun and the guide is excellent! great work! |
|
" This should really go into OP. Maybe somewhere in gear setup or newbie guide. Really appreciate such detailed answers. It'd be a waste to let them get lost between all the posts here. |
|
" Where in this setup does the physical damage come from, that triggers Hatred and then EE? Otherwise thanks for a great build. I‘m always playing Necro, but no build was so much fun then yours. |
