{3.10} Speaker for the Dead | The Mass Minion Summoner | League Starter, Leveling Guide 💀

@Hercanic

Can you tell me a better page reference please?

I need to keep a record of pages as there is so much great info..so much it wont stay in my head LOL.

Build is quite OK so far this league...been able to buy some ok gear which will see me on for alittle while.

Only problem I am having is WTF do I do with my atlas :)-

Do you have any thoughts on greater volley vs gmp? Using both whie I level and not noticing a huge difference between either other than the larger area of clear with gmp

This feels vaguely like a place to put a "Why not both?" meme. Don't know how much that would cut DPS though.

Has anyone gotten this variant to the top end maps? I don't want to quit the league already.

I'm doing Tier 16s pretty easily & I'm not dying to metamorphs with this build. You can check my profile for my gear & tree if you want, the name is "IWasStrongerInBlight" I played the same build last league as well and it was probably in the top 3 builds for end game content I've ever played in PoE. It's possible to die if you roll some seriously rippy mods on the maps or if you stop moving.
Here's my (almost) finished build from last league as well as a video with an Uber Elder kill in it. Price to performance it's probably the best build I've played in PoE.

This post has a bit of discussion and a link to another post with a PoB including the AG

Here's a post I made showing my AG gear I was using this in a Hungry Loop with Minion Life, Meat shield, Fortify & Melee Splash.


ZiggyD had a go at explaining it.

I've been doing a little bit of testing with them in maps & came to the same conclusion. IMO not worth using GV over GMP. GMP seems to have the better coverage while GV does a tiny bit better in Delve and narrow maps like Waste Pool.

Greater Volley makes all additional projectiles spawn from the side of the user. In this case GMP would spawn 2 additional projectiles on either side of the Spectre and they would travel forward in a straight line just like the others from Volley. Iit doesn't really improve the clear over just using Greater Volley which in my experience is worse than using GMP. The better option for extra Projectiles would be to use LMP as well as GMP, but I don't think the extra projectiles are necessary and the clear is more than good enough with using Faster projectiles.


Someone on reddit made a nice tool to help you find out which map bosses can drop certain organs. Useful if you're like me and have about 5x more lungs than anything else and want to target farm eyes or brains.

Here is my setup.. T14+ metamorphs are very difficult. I don't have enough DPS to take them down efficiently. Easily takes 1-2 minutes. Also, I was not able to kill the 4th conqueror of a zone (snake boss).



I noticed that your CWDT setup has the wrong sequence - you need to trigger desecrate before spirit offering, or else there may not be a corpse to consume. Gems trigger from upper left hand and clockwise.
First shaper of the league down

It's about 300c per set at the moment but that should drop over the next few days. As long as you don't get the boots then you will make a profit, but RNG is RNG and getting boots 4 or 5x in a row isn't uncommon.

Using almost the same gear from my post yesterday. Unfortunately, it wasn't deathless but it should have been. Died to his slam because I didn't smoke mine far enough away and he got me right on the edge. The loading screen after my death crashed my game which broke the video I was recording, so no footage of it :(

The damage wasn't bad but you can definitely tell he's got a lot more hp so he didn't get instaphase by my minions. Having VSS would have most likely been close to instaphasing him. Might try and get a level 21 with the money I made from this kill.

I was rolling on a redeemer unset ring to see how easy it is to hit frostbite or minion damage. I hit each mod twice in about 450 alts.

Have a consolation video of me killing a metamorph with level 81-83 organs https://streamable.com/ozul7

METAMORPH LEVELING

Act 5 completed. Not much time to play, I'm afraid, so progress will be slow.

Gear and Tree

Each time I level a summoner, I like to try different variations. This time, I went for the damage clusters first. As long as you keep your resistances responsible/capped and have a solid grasp of dangerous monster mechanics, you can forego life nodes for the sake of damage without much issue.

I am following this build again and currently doing T15-16 with no problems at all. Some map metamorph's are somewhat difficult but everyone is kinda struggling with those.
Thanks!

If your character is missing due to the search terms, let me know! If your profile was set to Private, you will not show up, unfortunately.

It can be tricky trying to tell whether someone was playing a heavily-modified version of Speaker or one of their own creation. I excluded any that seemed to be the latter, so if this was done in error for your character please speak up!
