3.14 KING OF ALL SUMMONERS. Zombies & Skeletons & Spectres on STEROIDS! | League-Start to End-Game

Has anyone ever tried completing Hall of Grandmasters with this build?
Read online, that minion builds are not really suited for this.

Tried it once and encountered a guy I simply couldn't kill in the first wing.
His ES regged faster than my zombies could deplete it.
Is it possible to complete the map with some minor changes to the build or is it just impossible?

Before you ask, I'm kind of a completionist and just want to beat it, because it exists :-)

Due to PVP scaling HoG is a real challenge for this build. You could consider using the reduced block support gem to take down all those max block characters, but it will still be pretty tough.

Just NEVER and I mean NEVER take your AG into that map as he will die.

I knew the AG part :-D Thankfully a lot of people made this mistake and posted about it. I will try the reduced block gem. Thank you. Maybe I'm skilling minion instability and try skeletons instead of zombies, or a combination of both. I have a few maps in stock and will just experiment a bit.

You guys still goin hard?

Lol I think people looked at your stacked GG character and gave up trying. ;)

Not especially hard, just constantly improving :-)
Finally updated my flasks and its a whole new game. I'm mapping so much faster now and the additional armour is handy.
From when I first got active in this forum my DPS went up from 1.2 to 14 Million, I got around 700 of additional strenght (1965 now).
I think I have now hit a new "wall" and overcoming it would be really hard. New weapon and The Squire would be nice, but both seem unoptainable for me.

Hi, Could this work with mage skeletons instead of ice spectres?

Well, minion builds just got destroyed according to the balance manifesto. Don't think I'll be coming back next league.

I just read it :( I'm screwed as are my 6 auras…

Is there anything positive? Those crits maybe?

ugghhh.... those nerfs that are coming.

As a casual player who wants to play about 6-8 days total in a league, and gets tired after playing 1-3 maps, I was spending the remaining available league time trying to see how far I could still take the build in a league. I even bought awakened gem stuff, and have level-32 zombies for the first time, all of which I normally don't do at all...The gear/build I have on is probably worth 20 to 30EX, which is way more than I usually want to spend in a league. Despite all the build investment, it is ALREADY VERY HARD to level (need more defense) and deal with top endgame content (uber/maven/etc)...and now these nerfs coming... hopefully the 3.19 challenges are just peanuts like 3.17 (league rewards are my only motivation in the league). The challenges for 3.18 league were just atrocious, it was probably meant for less than 1% of players to complete. I wasn't even sure I could make it 12/40.

sigh....
