Thank you for this nice build. I'm currently lev 44 and it's pretty relaxing.
Regarding the recent changes. Does it make sense for me to switch to Purifying Flame if I use Consecrated Path?
Also, the link on Purifying Flame still points to Desecrate.

Hey Maniollo6,

Thanks! I'm glad you're liking it. The more Consecrated Ground that's on the ground, the more likely your minions will be on it. But the build doesn't need Consecrated Ground. It cleared the Atlas easily without it prior to Consecrated Path or Purifying Flame existing. Guaranteed corpses are just as valuable as life regen. Plus, if you're spamming Consecrated Path, you'll have Consecrated Ground everywhere anyway.

Regarding the link, thanks! I'll fix it right away. I appreciate it.

How important is the minion life support? Are zombies getting melted without and then with the gem they survive very well? Just wondering what the delta is.

Hey LelouchLamperouge,

Minion Life Support is really important if you care about your zombies more than your skeletons. It's not really needed for most encounters but there will be some crazy map mod combos that you'll be happy you have it. Also, there is no defense for zombies that combats Damage Over Time, which is most of the Shaper's damage. So the longer they survive the better. Increasing minion life is really the only way to counter Damage Over Time with Zombies. But if you tend to prioritize skeletons in combat, feel free to change the support for anything you like. Also, if you're getting rid of Minion Life Support, you may as well get rid of Fortify Support and just go pure damage. See what happens :).

Good question.

Don't post here often, but just wanted to say thanks...

Having a BLAST using this guide - PoE is really fun now. Had a few issues with resists, but once I crafted some and picked up a few nodes, it's been pretty much smooth sailing.

BTW, wanted to suggest that you just recommend Cyclone for this build. I tried Consecrate Path and while it does help for moving around obstacles, the Cyclone feels much smoother.

Again......thanks :)

Hey Taliseian,

Thanks for making the time to be complimentative. You're very kind. I'm glad you're enjoying the build so much! I appreciate your suggestion of Cyclone. I love the skill now that it's channelling! It "phases" through enemies so the screen is always smooth! Love it. I am also probably the only person that loves that the skill slows your movement speed once you start channelling.

Great suggest and thanks for the thanks! I appreciate both.

Well i just made a big big error

I used a Vaal orb on my tabula rasa robe and it went from a 6 link to a crap 2 link item LOL

Feeling a little bit disheartened now as i had my zombies doing insane damage and surviving , and now feels like a massive step backwards

lesson learnt tho i guess haha

Ouch. That sucks. Those Vaal Orbs are high risk, high reward. The build doesn't need the Tabula but it sucks getting the taste of a 6 link and then going back. At least now you can check out chest pieces as you level. Maybe look for a high life 5 link or something. Sorry for your lose ;).

a high level guy, bought me a new tabula haha :D

im gonna keep an eye out for a high 5 link chest piece as i go tho, as ive noticed the tabula doesnt have any stats :)

Would just like to post that i just finished the game using this build...was fairly easy altho the final boss instagibbed me a fair few times (more so because i didnt know his mechanics than anything else)

Now onto mapping...which seems a daunting prospect haha

I had a legion encounter that melted my zombies so I guess I'm putting minion life back in. I'm using consecrated path to apply enfeeble/fortify but the windup time on the skill is somewhat annoying. I'm running flame dash as a secondary movement skill.

I appreciate that you've left quite a few points open on the tree. I'm playing in a private league with friends and I've had to take the 2 30 dex nodes for now.

I didn't mention it in my last reply but I love the creativity of the build. I like shopping around on the builds to find fun things to play and it's rather sad to see just a flood of cyclone builds.
