Hey Nytena!
"You're very welcome! I'm in the same boat. Once the zombies were ok without any other minions, I find I typically only use Vaal Skeletons as well. "I don't know. I'm sorry. The item level is still 73 for the Helmet, so unfortunately we all have to do random maps with enemy levels 73 or higher. Unless someone from GGG writes it out for us, it'll be a while until the wiki gets any real info for your question. Let me know if you need anything else though. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 12, 2018, 3:50:12 PM

Hey Lamonica!
"Of course I remember! Glad to have you back :). "Elemental Equilibrium does lots of damage, but you'll only notice it in long battles, like bosses. But yes, it's 100% worth it. The guide has a small section for EE under the passive tree part. "A neat thing about EE is that it is only applied to enemies by us, not our minions. So, even though our minions are hitting the enemies over and over with cold damage, they aren't giving the enemies extra cold resists." So as long as anything you cast or attack with (including with CwDt) has no cold damage, you'll never see the negative effects of EE :) (EE and Fortify have the same duration, so it's easy to see when you don't have either applied). I personally use Charged Dash all the time for Enfeeble, Fortify, and Holy Relic...but I only think offensively (EE) in boss battles. "Bone Sculptor is insanely good. Your skeletons ALWAYS hit (never miss), you cast three skeletons at a time, they have 100% faster movement speed, you get extra skeletons (including for the Vaal skill) and extra damage. My choice was actually between Commander of Darkness and Puppet Master. Puppet Master does more damage and movement speed, but Commander of Darkness gives our allies resists and a bit of damage. I chose this because Zombies are my primary skill and this skill caps our zombie resists at 75%. "That's great! Hang in there. Soon 5 links will drop enough that you'll start ignoring them ;) "Thanks for the kind words! It's nice to have you back :). https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Hey Webl3y! Awe, only 4 weeks old...how cute ;). I'm glad you found a build you like. It can be hard to find something you like when you're just looking through words and busy forums.
"Thanks for taking the time to complement. Please ask anything you like. There are a lot of helpful people following this guide. Any rookie questions are more than welcome. POE gets really hard and intense the deeper you go. This expansion brought a lot of change. We're all learning together. Thanks again! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Hey Xicsess,
Thanks for the message! "Thank you! I'm glad you're getting farther and deeper. "The guide touches on this a bit: "Don't forget about attributes. You'll pass some nodes on the tree that give +30 to Strength or Dexterity. If you don't have items to cover what you're short in, feel free to select some of these as you pass them. You'll get respec points that will let you remove them later once you have better gear." I'm currently level 40-something and am doing this with both the +30 Str. and Dex. nodes. Later on, it'll be easy enough to find an amulet that has enough Dex to give you at what you need (so you can respec out of the +30 nodes then). I haven't unlocked much crafting yet, but I'm getting the impression that it'll be easy to craft higher Dex on items than we were able to in the past as well. If you're short on Dex now, and need it for Charged Dash, just go to the Gem seller of your Act. They'll likely have some amulets that can help you out for cheap. "Yes upgrade all the gems as high as they go except for Charged Dash. You can keep it at level 1. There's no reason to put it to level 6. Just don't let it's Dex requirement get past that of Hatred (or highest Dex gem). "Great suggestions! The problem isn't anything to do with your suggestions at all, but a limit to the forum restrictions! I'm at the absolute cap for maximum characters in my guide. I was considering adding a huge section for new folks, but everything else I decided to keep in the guide ended up being more valuable to everyone, not just the new folks. There is quite a lot I'd like to include in the guide that I haven't. As I restructure the guide every expansion, I have to reconsider what to cut and keep in. So since I decided to keep as much in the guide that was relevant to everyone...I decided to word each section for new people to understand. I chose that path with the hope that the guide would help new people read the game (gems, equipment, etc.) and make some of the choices for themselves (since we're always here to help if anyone wants it). I have found that people learn a ton when have to do some choosing for themselves. I'd love to include what you suggested. I just don't have the space. I mentioned previously that, for 3.6, I'll likely cut out the "2 handed" sections, keep the build 1 handed, and if anyone wants help with a staff version of the build, we'd be able to do that in the Replies. I think that'd give me space to expand the Tips for Newbies section quite a lot. Good suggestions. "I'm sorry the curve was still pretty big. I appreciate you saying so. As mentioned above I'll be expanding the Newbie section for 3.6. to try and mitigate that curve even more. "No problem :). And please ask anything you like. I try and respond about once a day to my guides, but there are many helpful people that are following this guide that are better at my own builds than I am. :) https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Right now, I have my Summon Skeletons in a +1 minion helmet with Minion Damage, Minion Speed and... Spell Totem.
It's less damage per second, but I find it easier to just cast a totem and run around than to summon the skeletons myself. Running heists fully zoomed in... because

Hey CelticHound!
"Awesome! Good suggestion! Saves tons of time. Less casting means more living. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

" Quick update, I'm at act 8 and I'm pretty impressed how good is the build without needing good equipment. Currently my equipment is bad, 0 lab, 4L... I do not even 75% in resistances but it does not matter. Some bosses Act 7 in video: Greust: https://xboxclips.com/I%20am%20French/e6729df5-5ae8-4713-9d30-eff2713644a7 Gruthkul: https://xboxclips.com/I%20am%20French/492b635c-fdc4-4577-a884-1af9a187231d Arakaali:https://xboxclips.com/I%20am%20French/a968b408-34b7-41d4-ba5c-c2b2b1f90e02 If you are new to Path of Exile, or if you are on Xbox ONE this build is very very good ! Thanks Trinity |

" I know how you can double that limit! Use the second post in the thread - the one that starts "I'll update the guide..." - as the second chapter of your post. That's what Sovyn does in the Lazy Pally guide. (By the way, Sovyn's Lazy Pally is a melee build suitable for new players. He's been updating it since February 2013 - almost 6 years!)

Hey IamFrench :),
"Thanks for the compliment! That's very kind of you. I'm glad it's working for you. (I just got to where you are as well.) Sweet videos too! You're doing great! It's going to be exciting to see where the new crafting can take this build. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Thanks CelticHound!
"That's a really good idea! I appreciate you posting this again. I didn't really get what you meant the first time. The example you gave this time really helped. I HAVE DECISIONS TO MAKE! :) Thanks! I appreciate your posts and advice. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast
