Hi there.
I'm a total noob (this is my 2nd character, 1st one was a total failure) who's followed every step of your guide, and I'm loving it. Thanks a bunch. I've been fortunate enough to find montregul's grasp (I play ssf), and I feel like it's a life changer so far. I will definitely play another zombie witch in the upcoming league. Thanks again for your work. |

"Hey! I'm glad you're liking the build! Thanks for taking the time to thank. Sweet find with Mon't's! It's really cool. It has pro's and con's, just like not using one does, so must make sure that whatever you choose to go with isn't a burden. Have fun and stay alive :). Don't be discouraged by your first character. Even after thousands of hours you learn stuff. And GGG keeps updating the game which changes what you know anyway. It took quite a few leagues for me to get a good grasp of the game. I started playing in 2.2 and the game didn't really start clicking until 2.6. So don't be discouraged. If you like the game enough to play long term, you'll get it :). Thanks again for your time. You're very kind. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Hey Everyone! This is a really good interview with one of the co-founders of PoE about 3.6...for those that are excited about the coming expansion.
Minions were barely mentioned so I doubt anything will change with this build that I wasn't already planning. Hatred is being changed a bit (not touched on in the video). So I'm not sure if it'll be kept or replaced. Minor detail as it'll likely still be kept for the sake of Chill though. Anyway, just FYI. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Hey, just wanna say thanks for this build.
The last time I played this game was in beta, however, it didn't really suck me in despite my positive opinion of the game. Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls came and went and with Diablo's future looking bleak, I decided to come back to Path of Exile. So I decided to play a necromancer and this was the build I went with. It's a pretty easy and chill build, and SO good for beginners! I didn't get a chance to fight Shaper but still was able to complete some corrupted T16 maps and some other bosses. Definitely had a good time playing Betrayal and it was partly thanks to you. |

"Thanks :). That's a very kind post. I appreciate you taking the time to be thankful. You're very fortunate to have found a build that worked for you and you enjoyed right away. I'm glad. I hope you stick around PoE land. I played tons of every version of Diablo 3 that came out. Since I got on the PoE train, the less I care about any other game. If you're here to customize characters/builds, your options are endless :). Thanks again for taking the time to be so encouraging. If you have any suggestions at all for the build or the guide, please let me know. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Hey,
Noob qustion: why do you chose a stone golem over a chaos golem? I've played with a stone golem and thought it was ok, but the chaos one looks appealing.Is there a particular reason I'm missing? Cheers |
|
"Good question! Nothing "Nooby" about it at all :). Chaos Golem works great. I would say it's equal to the Stone Golem for defensive perks. I prefer to always have a small amount of life regen going at all times. I have slow reaction times to flasks and such so any help I get, the better. Obviously Physical Damage Reduction is fantastic too. So choose anyone you want. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Mar 4, 2019, 4:44:02 PM

Sweet!
So I just had the chance to go through the 3.6 patch notes. This build doesn't change much at all. Hatred's values changed a bit (not sure if it's stronger or weaker) but we're still going to use it because slowing enemies with Chill is awesome. Also Enfeeble and Temporal Chains are now stronger against bosses and Uber Bosses :). The tree is going to change a lot so I won't be posting the guide until after Path of Building updates the tree. If the total value of Curse Effectiveness hasn't changed on the tree our two curses will do the following: Enfeeble: Normal Tier Bosses used to deal 18% less damage. They'll now deal 30% less damage. Shaper Tier Bosses used to deal 9% less damage. They'll now deal 15% less damage. Temporal Chains (with a level 2 Enhance): Normal Tier Bosses used to be "slowed" by 26%. They'll now be "slowed" by 43%. Shaper Tier Bosses used to be "slowed" by 13%. They'll now be "slowed" by 22%. That seems too high. The math is right. I'll have to wait for the tree to see some of the new wording they used. Sweet if it's right though. Also, I'll be removing the 2 handed setup from the guide. It's nice to have all replies on the same page unless they deviated on their own. As I said, Path of Building isn't updated yet, but these are the skill gems I'm thinking of using (obviously these could change depending on how Hatred impacts Minions): 6L- Zombies-Minion Damage-Minion Speed-Minion Life-Fortify-Melee Physical 4L- Skeletons-Minion Speed-Minion Damage-Melee Physical 4L- Charged Dash-Fortify-Curse on Hit-Enfeeble 4L- Hatred-Generosity-Holy Relic-Stone Golem 3L- CwDT 1-Desecrate 7-Spirit Offering 8 3L- Blasphemy-Temporal Chains-Enhance Just in case you like to plan ahead too early ;). I'll post on the guide and in the Replies, the new link to the 3.6 guide when it's ready. Thank you for all your wonderful and edifying posts! This is such a great gaming community. :) https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Mar 6, 2019, 1:51:05 AM

I believe that Bone Helmet will take a hit: Increased Minion Damage is going from 30-40 to 15-20. Anyone out there with gear in Standard probably should avoid using Blessed Orbs on their old Bone Helmets after the patch hits.
I guess if I want a 40/+2 Minion Gem Bone Helmet, it's now or never for the 40 part (got a few days on Xbox; not sure about the PC situation). "Bone Helmet basetypes have had their increased Minion Damage lowered to 15-20% (from 30-40%). Existing versions will be changed to these values if a Blessed Orb is used." I now comment in Forums with my Xbox account:

" Technically this build didn't take a big hit since you can now slap a +40% zombie damage bonus onto the Bone Helm now. But skeletons took a damage drop of 20%. |
