Path of Exile has become a game largely about speed as it expands - you have to keep up with the crawler in Delve, there's the timer in Incursion, memories collapse in Synthesis, research labs are destroyed quickly in Betrayal. (One could argue the game has always been about speed, but for the most part it was possible to go slowly before those mechanics.) Since you must go fast, and minions are stupid, it's pretty much inevitable that at some point you're gonna find yourself being forced to push forward while your horde is stuck behind you someplace in poor terrain or fighting something that you're trying to run past. Convocation will save your bacon in those cases. And it has other uses, like pulling minions out of fireblasts or getting everyone across a gap that you just Charged Dashed over. I thought you use it for the damage buff. I have yet to run into your described problems.	Posted by Kroschak#3537 on Mar 24, 2019, 3:29:50 PM Quote this Post

I thought you use it for the damage buff. I have yet to run into your described problems. To be honest don't really notice it happening much in Delve. Just got to Jun this league so not sure if it's noticeable there, though it wasn't bad last league to me at least. Just have to run a little to 'reset' your minions occasionally. Same for gaps though in close quarters in let's say the Prison Map and the like, it can be very nice. Also, Kroschak, Convocation doesn't give a damage buff far as i know. It does give your minions a life regen buff for a short time on use. Source:https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Convocation It could be used to trigger the https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Puppet_Master Ascendancy's 30% increased Minion Damage if you've used a Minion Skill Recently part. But you could also get that just using Summon Skeleton's every 4 seconds. Either way, it's a personal preference thing. Don't use it my self, but I have come across my minions getting stuck occasionally. Usually just run far enough to auto summon them to me or i just summon Skeletons to deal with stuff.

Here's a quick video of a few memory fragment runs that I did earlier today. They were collapsing, so I was moving quickly, and I'm using Convocation all the time to get the minions through doorways or just up to the next monster pack quickly. So that's how I use it, but nothing says that's the only way to play!	Posted by ineffablebob#7814 on Mar 24, 2019, 11:07:49 PM Quote this Post
GOODNESS it feels good to sit at a desktop and type on a keyboard instead of a phone...TIME TO REPLY!!!!! Thank you everyone for being so helpful to everyone.

Seems like good fun thus far, 5 zombies is still plenty of screen coverage, especially since I've given them Multistrike. They one-shot white mobs and a lot of blues, which basically means one-shotting entire packs with the fire explosion damage. And the extra life will help keep them upright and moving. What'd you think of Mon't's? https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Mar 25, 2019, 1:20:29 AM Quote this Post
" Guru1619 wrote: So I've played this the last 3-4 leagues along with a Trapper usually. This league has finally allowed me to build it the way I want to with a lot less effort than before. Have modified your tree to use Eldritch Battery and added Leveling tree's, items to the item section and added some different variations of skills to your PoB pastebin build. https://pastebin.com/v0v5T5RN is the pastebin with my edits, check the Notes for more information. Will share more if i edit anything major or if I need to fix something that gets patched. Lemme know what you think about it when you get a chance Wrecker-Of-Days :D Not sure if you're still using this, or a variation of it. Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I just got my computer up and running last night and I wanted to actually play an evening of PoE before I did an evening of replies. So, if the pastebin is still relevant: The build looks really cool. I'd like to see it in action. You do lots more damage than me, but you sacrificed life to get there. Have you noticed that as an issue, or are you surviving well. Were you able to keep all those uniques and keep your resists maxed? If so, awesome! Lots of the uniques you selected are REALLY fun. Cospri's Will used to be a big favourite of mine until they added Hexproof to the Occultist ascendancy. Thanks for sharing it! If you still play the build, do you have any cliips? I'm curious how it plays. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast	Posted by Wrecker_of_Days#7691 on Mar 25, 2019, 1:29:58 AM Quote this Post

" ineffablebob wrote: Got revenge on that darn Phoenix! Actually made it harder on myself than necessary, with a corrupted rare for the map bonus. Basically did the whole map as a skeleton summoner, since the zombies couldn't survive the physical reflect anyway. Still died on the boss a few times since my reactions are just not fast enough to completely avoid damage, and of course giving him extra life didn't help. But the skeletons prevailed in the end! Nice work! The Phoenix can take some time to get used to. Mods can really modify this specific battle.
