Slow Mo Zombies! (No Uniques Needed|Relaxed Playstyle|Easy to Gear|Anyone Can Play|All Content)[3.5]

First T9, easy !

A tip for those who often die, adopt a safe gameplay.

You are not tanky enough (imo) so when you see an mob, use your skeletons. They are very important to me, and your zombies follow them.

Personally I use "Shield Charge" only in bad positions.

Personally I skip (like a lot of players) the syndicats because they are too hard, a nerf should soon take place
Great job against Atziri! Sweet clip.

I love the Syndicate battles. I die on occasion but I love killing the old masters.

Hi, just read your guide and it convinced me to try it instantly, you've done a great work !

But it's not my first league char this season so i may have looted some unique that could help.
I was wondering if you could advice me on which one i could use with this build.

Thanks in advance. And sorry for my unperfect english ;)
Thank you very much. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.

This build actually isn't really better with Uniques. There are some that are neat, but they don't dramatically improve the build. Here's a list of some that I have personally liked:

-Sidhebreath Amulet
-Singularity (more slowing)
-Bones of Ullr or Alberon's Warpath
-The Baron
-Severed in Sleep/United in Dream
-Mon'tregul's Grasp
-The Scourge
-Queen's Decree/Queen's Escape
-Femurs of the Saints
-Dying Breath
-Geofri's Legacy

You'll want to decide if you're going 1 handed or two handed of course.

Your English is fantastic :). I hope you like the build. Let me know if you need anything else.

So I went with your build (my previous mods from Delve, attack skill to fortify/curse on hit, Spectres, Flame Dash) for a Betrayal starter and I would be flying if it were not for those pesky syndicate swine - that and my penchant to try one more time to see if I can get them before they get me. Thanks again for your work. I have not got around to trying out Skeletons yet, but just about everybody seems to think that they rock and so it is definitely on my list - just have to figure out how to organize the button bindings. There are a couple of things that I am wondering about.

Is the implicit on the Bone Helmet clearly "better" than the +zombie/+skeleton enchant? Or is it a matter of taste, or perhaps what you have done with the rest of your gear?

I see that you have a level 1 Enhance linked to your curse aura. Have you given any thought to putting in one of the new aura banners instead (and level up Enhance on your alternate weapon set)? I am trying out Dread Banner and my plan is to never plant the banner, just leave the aura up. War Banner and Dread Banner I believe are described as auras and reserve 10% of mana. Additionally, I am wondering if anyone knows if these new banner skills if not linked to Generosity, will cause Commander of Darkness to bequeath us the +20 all res? That would be nice.



Regarding Button binds, are you 1 handed or 2 handed? Console or PC? I'll tell you what I have setup and you can see if it works for you.

The implicit is awesome, cause the craft adding +1 to both Zombies and Skeletons is a prefix, so it doesn't get rid of the implicit (you can have both). The Enchants that you get from labs aren't for minions in general, just specific minions. So I like the damage bonus for all our minions.

I've considered adding a banner, but I like having Enhance around for when it turns level 2. The less I have to remember, the longer I can play. It's a great idea for everyone else to do for sure though.

I would assume that all Auras apply to Commander of Darkness, but yet, curses don't count towards it. So since there's that inconsistency, I'm not sure. Let us know if you find out!

Thanks for the message! Good ideas!

Let me know if there's anything else :)

Hi triniparty!
Sooooo the triple skeleton meltdown is OP, I think Kitava actually was crying at the end!
I got the Unique jewel that adds 2 MORE skeletons per drop so 5 total, but I am unsure if that is needed, I think 3 is fine, what are your thoughts? I tried it and it's great, but it does add a 1 sec delay and I think I could drop more with 3 at a time.
Also since I am still learning, how do I link something to show everyone in my post?
So progress, 3rd ascension, killed Kitava, got my penalty, capped resistances in 2 pieces, helm and body. Got a 6 link corrupted chest for 12c???? that's laughable. Now I can focus on becoming Catarina... but in a good way, LOL!
Also, zombies are FASTER than me now and skeletons are almost as fast, so things are dying rather quick, just T2 maps and did a shaper map, but very much in love with this woman! No deaths last night, not even assassins can get through to me.
Thanks again,

Oh, I am pretty sure this was a bug, but in shaped T2 dungeon map...
I was able to clear dungeon, but there was an unreachable section that had IS mission AND einhar's last beast in it so I failed both. Also had 14 monsters left. I took three laps around the entirely cleared dungeon (even killed the boss and got credit) and could not find a link, door, switch or portal. But I could see it and the IS member off to the left on the map.
Is this a known thing?
I'm glad you're liking the build :).

The jewel that adds the extra skeletons is cool, but it's preference. I prefer sticking to the 3 skeletons at once. But there's no wrong preference with that jewel.

To make a link, copy the link into your post, highlight it, then click URL above the text box (beside Quote and Image). It should make your link clickable.

Nice getting a 6 link that worked for you! Awesome and cheap!

Ya, once every couple expansions (when GGG redoes some of their map layouts) they'll get bugs where things are inaccessible. The upcoming patch 3.5.0d will be fixing the Syndicate locations spawning in areas that can't be accessed. That'll likely fix some of the other map issues too...hopefully.

Great post! I'm glad you're liking it! Let me know if you need anything else.

With the upcoming syndicate nerf I am going to hold off on pumping my defense I think. If they're even 15% nerfed I think I can keep up a glass cannon 2h build without much issue. Im going to rework my gear soon to overcap my resists for map mods, get my chaos and movement speed up and make sure I have enough str/dex to cover my skills. My life is nearing 5k and i'd like to try and get it over if I can. It seems like it will be easy enough to get enough dex/str to max out most of the gems, especially now that I have the west side of the skill tree done (The str bonuses at the end are huge) and I still have the health boost on the east side of the tree to finish. Right now im still shopping for a perfect 6L chest armor and after that i'll start reworking the other pieces. The next patch can not come soon enough.

Also, who else loves this build in delve? I just charge along with the cart and when we get to an end point I stand in the middle, spawn a mob of skeletons and sit back and wait for the loot to drop.

2 handed with Queen's Decree on Xbox (I have actually bought the prophecy for Queen's Escape this league, but I'm holding off using it as I want to get a feel for how things might go with SSF). So far, Banner aside, it is almost the same build as I used in Delve (which I actually posted here:

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2262109

). Right now I have 3 skills that I use all the time plus default attack - adding Skeletons would mean either they get an "RT" bind or something else gets demoted. I just have to decide what works best for me.

I have not counted up suffixes and prefixes, but I imagine there could be some really nice Bone Helmets out there with +gems and room for the minion craft.

Ah, the joys of a build that lets you fold in some personal preferences and still performs ...

Ok, so I just guessed that the Banners were League content but as it turns out, they are available in Standard too. It was a simple matter to fire up my old Delve character and do a test - drum roll - success! When I activated either banner, the +20 all elemental res kicked in. Happy Happy Joy Joy (Take that, Puppet Master)

Nice post. If you forgo the last three life nodes on the tree (far West) you'll have 153% increased maximum life. If you include them, you'll have 173%. The extra 20% does add up. Last league I didn't get them and did fine...this league I'm going to get them, and I assume I'll be fine-er ;). (I too love this for Delving. Good luck with your 6 link. Hopefully you can get an uncorrupted chest with a free prefix so you can craft extra Zombies and skeletons on it :). I'm glad it's working out for you.
