Slow Mo Zombies! (No Uniques Needed|Relaxed Playstyle|Easy to Gear|Anyone Can Play|All Content)[3.5]
|
Do I understand correctly this passive link in the first post is upgraded for 3.5 patch? Cause it says 3.4 Passive tree in the title, and as far as i get from reading posts about this awesome build, you have changed something (skeletons).

Hey Wozmon!
"You're not missing anything obvious. This was a really hard choice for me. This is the first time I have ever done a minion build without an offering. But with the addition of skeletons I had to make a hard choice. I ended up choosing the defensive 4-link of Stone Golem, Molten Shell, and Holy Relic for the one handed setup. Feel free to replace it with a level 1 Cast when Damage taken, a level 7 Desecrate, a level 8 Flesh Offering, and a level 3 Immortal Call. The 2 handed version couldn't fit it in at all :(. But Flesh Offering isn't integral. It's great! I hate not having it. But I went with defense. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 9, 2018, 3:54:29 AM

Hey daimonxp! Great question.
"Although your Zombies will feel really squishy at the beginning of the game, you'll see they get very resilient. They will rarely die. But on the occasion that they die in the middle of a fight, you have your skeletons as backup. They will deal excellent damage. It's one of the main reasons I added them. I can't look at the screen long enough to use Convocation well enough. (I just have Convocation in the build for everyone else. I won't be using it.) Most (not all) boss battles will have extra enemies come out to fight at multiple stages so you have a chance to refill your flasks, get corpses, things like that. But because we have skeletons, I didn't focus on having a lot of mana or mana regen. Our Blasphemy and Hatred will take almost all our mana. So unless we get gear with a bunch of extra mana, we won't have enough mana to raise a zombie without disabling one of our auras. Raising zombies one at a time in the middle of a boss battle that hits hard enough to kill your zombies isn't really efficient anyway. So you can use Desecrate outside of combat to raise your zombies if there aren't any corpses around. Otherwise, your skeletons will save the day. Keep the questions coming. Don't feel like any are dumb. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 9, 2018, 3:54:54 AM

Hey Alayron :)
"Reflect is really hit and miss. On an average hit with zombies, out of 44'000 per hit, 28'000 is physical and 16'000 is cold damage. I was going to wait until I hit T11+ maps before I updated reflect in the guide. Honestly, I could take out Elemental Reflect and just remind people to turn off Hatred. But once I hit red maps, if I find that I can do Elemental Reflect at any time, no matter what the other mods are, I'll update the guide and let everyone know. Good observation :) https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 9, 2018, 3:55:09 AM

Hey Jakuboss :)
"I'm sorry, but I don't think i'll be providing pictures staging the leveling process on the tree. Taking the nodes in the order that they come in is quite balanced for both offense and survivability. I've encouraged people to take all the nodes on the right side of the tree, then the top, then the bottom, then lastly the left. But I find when you let people make their own choices (with some guidance) they really learn the build a lot more. It also helps to learn the tree better for when people play other builds as well. But follow the suggested path in the paragraph above and you'll do great. But even with all the changes I made to the guide last night to make more character space, I'm still at the 50'000 character limit. So I don't have the space for more pictures and links :). Sorry. Let me know if you have any other questions or suggests! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 9, 2018, 3:55:27 AM

Hi GrunkleBob! Sweet name :)
"Thank you for such kind words. The build really does get stronger as you progress. It's a lot of fun to notice it get stronger. I hope you both enjoy the build and please feel free to give any suggestions or feedback as you go through 3.5. Adding skeletons changes the playstyle a little bit from 3.4. Oh! And regarding being a little slow, I saw in the 3.5 announcement video, the ability to craft 35% movement speed?! If that stayed in the game, it's higher than was previously craftable (17%) and higher than the previous max roll (30%)! So the "little slow" maybe no longer be a factor! Thanks again for your encouragement :) https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 9, 2018, 3:55:49 AM

Hi there lly1953!
"The passive tree in this guide is not yet 3.5's. It's still 3.4. I'll update it as soon as pathofexile.com updates theirs which will be when 3.5 is released. That being said, this is the exact path and nodes that you'll take anyway. Even with the changes that GGG made to the tree, and with our addition of skeletons, it doesn't change one node from the 3.4 version of my tree to the 3.5 version. But I'll be updating everything anyway. I'm blushing that you think this build is awesome. ;) I hope you like it. Let me know if you need anything else. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 9, 2018, 3:56:07 AM

Hey Deklnu!
"Thanks for the post. The only video I have in an example video of how the build functions. I'll add a 3.5 one once I get to Racecourse again :). It's the best map. I always make it a T16. In terms of Atlas clearing, this build will do it easily. Shaper, Elder, both...If you know the battles, this build will do it. For something like Delve depths? The build can go much farther than I can. My medical situation can't handle the business and colourful activity that Delve brings. I don't think it'll take you into the 1000 range solo, but in terms of monster clearing, level 83 enemies in T15 maps get cleared really quickly with Zombies. So keep your defenses up and happy delving! But only my symptoms have stopped this build, not the build itself :). So that's a good thing. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast Last edited by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Dec 9, 2018, 3:56:38 AM

" That's not what I meant by the post and it was already answered. No kidding you wouldn't go in with out zombies. I'm saying going over the gems I saw no attack abilities to create zombies till I was told desecrate, then you can raise them. Never played with that skill. Anyways been lvling Non-League trying it out near lvl 60ish. it's great so far. |
