3.14 KING OF ALL SUMMONERS. Zombies & Skeletons & Spectres on STEROIDS! | League-Start to End-Game
I am a returning player and i was looking at this guide for quite a time. I have come to the conclusion that this will be my league starter. Clearing speed looks good despite the nerfs and playstyle is enjoyable at least to me. It may not be the beast that was in the previous versions but still i think it will perform well in combination with cluster jewels. Congratulations on creating a thorough guide. Happy hunting Exiles!

Missed a few posts from others, so ill try to summarize;
The people interested in Bamper's Stone Golems, its difficult to league start b/c the build needs roughly 10 primordial jewels to function and the tree is basically just sockets so even though the build is very cheap to gear and kill shaper/elder/sirus with, its a difficult league starter. Asfar as what im doing today and going forward, not alot different, if you liked playing the build the way I did in metamorph the only changes are going to be > life/armor based rather then hybrid based. The only gems that are going to be different for me are going to be my auras, I will be running pride as before, flesh and stone however I will be staying in sand stance for the extra blind and ranged mitigation, aspect of the crab, and dread banner. I am going with this skill tree to start and will adjust later on when we know more about the voice jewel and clusters; http://poeurl.com/cMhq https://pastebin.com/gfX9021h As I said, everything else will be pretty much the same, if you started playing this build the last month of metamorph I basically just ran a very simple, purely 1 handed version that eliminated the need for any movement skill or extra buttons. I can honestly say it was popular b/c over 25 people in the thread that I know of copied it and kept in touch with me throughout the end of the league. 2H Weapon: Raise Zombie/Empower/Minion Damage/Impale/Multistrike/Melee Physical Damage The Baron: AG/Raise Spectre/Min. Life/Blood Magic Crab Chest: Cyclone/Infused Channeling Suport/Cast while Channeling/Desecrate/Spirit Offering/Maim Support High Armor+Life+Resist Gloves: Enlighten/Pride/Flesh and Stone/Dread Banner The Stampede Assassin Boots: Empower/Feeding Frenzy/Summon Holy Relic/Summon Carrion Golem Neck: Astramentis / Rings: Rares with T1 STR/Life/Resists / Belt: Rare with STR/Increased Attributes/Life Jewels: x2 Efficient Training socketed in top center and just to left of witch start point / Watchers Eye / 1 flex spot open (Spectres are Mervils Retainer and x2 Carnage Chieftan - Mervils for the Lv50 Vulnerability just like before, and Carnage Chieftans for Frenzy Charges) Last edited by JCOH35#4078 on Mar 13, 2020, 12:03:45 PM

" Finally! Thank you for writing more information about your version of the build. This will also be my starting build! Can you please write in what order I should take nodes when lvling. Cheers! |

Is this going to be a top tier build for the new season?

@JCOH35 yup, also going to be doing this. It's going to be interesting to see how the nerfs & jewels actually play out.

@Credov
Thats hard to say, b/c I know Brunowa likes to do an alternate method where he originally paths manually up to death attunement, and then later once he has access to annointments, he respecs. Im probally just going to grab> Lord of the Dead > Enduring Bond > Sacrifice > Grave Pact and then start heading south for Unholy Might etc. I dont think theres really a wrong way, grab what you need. For leveling im just doign what I did last league, Summon Raging Spirits and Zombies. Last edited by JCOH35#4078 on Mar 13, 2020, 12:30:09 PM

" Ya im not concerned with the nerfs at all as far as offense goes, I already tried the 2.8k STR versions and it never felt that much different then the 1.3k STR version. This is an old metamorph video of mine, I dropped down to 1,300 STR, took off all my flasks and Watchers Eye and did an A8 conqueror to show the dps on my 1 handed version; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQGHVAdT-lY for eyeball comparison my higher STR fights looked like this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjcCWyXpaEI not alot of difference.

" That looks suprisingly good - shame we'll no longer be able to abuse the cyclone + spirit offering. Are you planning on running flesh offering now? |

Im still going to do it the same, I wont need the ES, I will be keeping it for the additional chaos resistance they added to it and the additional chaos damage my zombies will get from it ontop of their bursts of unholy might.
1 other change I may or may not do is swapping minion damage out of my zombie 6 link for meat shield support, its going to depend on how they behave now without feeding frenzy on general maps and how safe I feel without my god tier layer of ES.
