{3.10} Speaker for the Dead | The Mass Minion Summoner | League Starter, Leveling Guide 💀
|
Metamorph is crashing my maps so I'm done playing for the day.
Leveling was smooth but I was taking it quite slow to check out the league mechanic. At level 77 doing tier 4 & 5 maps and haven't felt the need to upgrade any of my gear but I will probably do it tomorrow. My gem links are a mess at the moment & I had no luck trying to get the socket colors I wanted. I got a pair of Triad Grip for 1 alch and managed to bench on 4 green in 3 goes and I also bought a 6 socket Queen's Decree which I'll upgrade tomorrow with the prophecy when they go back down in price. Unending hunger were sitting at about 25c all day & Victario's Charity is already down to 1c. Here's the gear I was using today.
Spoiler
The loss of minion speed is definitely noticeable but only slows it down slightly, crafting some speed on jewelry will be more than enough I think. I am interested to see how the movement speed from Queen's Escape feels. I've had deathmark linked with my zombies for a few maps and I think it would feel really good with more movement speed. I had my skeletons in a 4 link from about act 3 onward still amazing damage. Using 3 Frost Sentinels with faster proj + Phantasms + minion damage was still enough to keep 9+ phantasms up almost the whole time while clearing. I'm still missing a few of the defensive minion nodes but their survivability feels fine without them although I am in low tier maps. I've had a couple of zombies drop and some spectres as well against one of the tougher bosses I made. I'm probably going to grab indomitable army and then focus on more life nodes for myself. Golem commander is also looking pretty juicy to me for an extra carrion golem. |

"You're probably missing "necromantic aegis" |
|
" I get the necromantic aegis bit but it's not in the PoB tree anywhere. That's why I am confused. Is Vic's uselss if you don't go NA? |

For just the frenzy charges, you do not need NA. I have not hit 50 yet to try it on my league character, but on standard I am able to generate the frenzy charges with cyclone and ball lightning.
Also from page 153 how does Victario's Charity work and how important is it? We hit ~21 times per second per target with Ball Lightning = 5% chance per hit to give all allies within 40 radius of us a Frenzy Charge. Three of these give our minions 45% attack/cast speed, 15% movespeed, and 12% more damage. So it's a very potent source of damage, effectively like adding another 50% more damage link to all our minions. Last edited by SellySel#4738 on Dec 14, 2019, 1:00:53 PM

Doing something a little different this time around. Was planning Static Strike/HoA but gave HoP a test drive. I’m liking HoP a lot, I just hit the metamorph once as it spawn and hide somewhere. I also got a From Dust jewel to summon 6 skellys at a time. It’s a really safe setup. This is just for leveling.

Corrupted Raise Spectre lvl 21
+2 from Necromancer Ascendency +2 from Empower ... this makes RS lvl 25 +1 from the passive node => 4 Spectres. But I think it wasn't meant to be done like this. There's the +1 on a chest, but it's can be considered gear investment considering the price... I feel you. lvl62 here, stomping the game without linking anything seriously... wow. Didn't played since Synthesis, they've done great things about minions! |

METAMORPH LEVELING
 Act 4 completed last night, but the server was shutting down so I wasn't able to post. In my haste to complete The Harvest within the last few minutes, as well as finish the Metamorph encounter after Malachai, I forgot to take a proper "Completed" screenshot.

@ WeaponizedSP:
Full Post & Proceeding Conversation
" " " " " To generate Frenzy Charges with Victario's Charity, you have to hit with your own attacks or spells, and your minions must be within 40 radius of you at the time. A fast-hitting skill like Ball Lightning and/or Cyclone works best. If you don't like that, then 4 passive points can be redirected to Necromantic Aegis. Your minion hits will then generate Frenzy Charges to all allies (you and other minions) in a 40 radius around themselves. Power Charges, on the other hand, require kills. You yourself generally won't be getting many kills, so Power Charges will be rare when self-generating. If you use Necromantic Aegis, then the kills your minions get will trigger the mod. Frenzy Charges are worth ~37% more damage. Power Charges are ~10% more damage. An Animated Guardian wielding a Kingmaker adds another 50% crit multi to surrounding allies, which boots the value of Power Charges to 24% more damage. With everything, that comes out to (1.37 * 1.24 =) 70% more damage. @ Seclude:

" " " I cover this in the Minion subsection of the Manifesto section of the 3.9 Analysis post. Without any gear, you'd need +2 levels from Necromancer's Unnatural Strength, +2 levels from L3 Empower, and either a L21 corrupted Raise Spectre or a L4 corrupted Empower. That'd give you +5 levels to reach L25 Raise Spectre and gain the extra Spectre. Last edited by Hercanic#3982 on Dec 15, 2019, 10:55:04 PM
