Me too GamerNerdRage81!

Me too. That build didn't do enough endgame damage though. It kind of "required" a 6 link to take down the A8 bosses. Its defence was amazing though. There's a Champion I have that uses Dominating Blow. Would that interest you? I can share the PoB with you if you like.

Is it a stress free 1-2 button build no pianoing skills or flasks cause if so i would love it!

Ya GamerNerdRage81 it totally is.

I also play the "1-button" style for medical reasons as well so I'm forced into that corner anyway. Here's the Community PoB Pastebin for it: https://pastebin.com/Mc36sSNJ. I don't know if I'd change anything if I was to make it a guide, but keep in mind that I haven't scoured the build as if it was going to be a guide. I love the build though, so feel free to give me some feedback on it. If I ever feel like I have the time for 4 guides again, this build is going guide.

Gonna hit this build up on SSF league and will give feedback!

Hopefully this clears up some of the gem confusion (in case anyone else was going to try it).

Hi. As someone who's tried a few summoner builds but never really engaged with them and didn't get beyond white maps I decided to try another after discovering your build guide. I'm glad I did because it's a lot fun, especially as you've kept it simple with a lot of room for experimentation.

Reading the comments I'm surprised nobody has suggested incorporating Withering Step into their versions. Free wither is good is it not? I have decided to use Bone Husks for my Spectres and trying out Decay as another chaos DoT along with my AW Poison. So far Bone Husks provide a lot of AoE and obstacles with their ground spikes, Withering Step helps here!.

Hey AbilityPoints!

Oh good! I'm glad you're enjoying yourself :). To me, minions are the most fun way to play (out of the million different ways) Path of Exile. I'm glad my style of guide scratches your itches.

Withering Step is a really good addition. Any type of wither helps. Maybe the reason people aren't adding it is that we eventually get Wither with our ascendancy. Withering Presence gives us automatic Wither. This wither lasts for 15 seconds instead of 2 but it only "casts" once a second. So though it may seem redundant, casting other forms of wither, though they will only last a couple of seconds will really help the "waiting game" as damage builds up.

Great question and idea with Bone Husks! I'll check them out. Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it!

Haha I feel a little foolish now. I totally forgot about Withering Presence. I guess if someone was focusing on Energy Shield they could forego Withering Presence and get Vile Bastion. So I guess Withering Step opens up another option.

Don't feel foolish at all AbilityPoints! It's a strong ascendancy node, but it's slow. Speeding up the process, though temporary, has lots of benefits and it's not redundant at all (with fights that are under 15 seconds). I played a bit with Wither - Cast While Channelling - Ethereal Knives
- Animate Weapon - Lesser Poison - Poison. It was tons of fun. It didn't suit the close combat requirement of "nearby" and the blasphemies, but it was fun.

Your leveling spoiler has the blue minions graphic, not the green minions graphic. Didn't realize until level 20 and had taken some talent points that are for the blue leveling path.

Oh my goodness! Thank you Martholorax! I'll fix it right away! Thanks for letting me know. I'm so sorry for the confusion! Oh crap. I'm really sorry.

Was looking at some defensive node for a TR DoT based Trapper build I'm trying to make and found an interested node near Scion called Hardened Scars (think this may have been mentioned earlier somewhere but for the life of me i cant find it...), the 'You have Fortify during Effect of any Life Flask'. Slightly expensive Annoint: Teal, Black and Golden.

That's an amazing node hey Guru1619? That node suits almost every build that exists. It's so awesome. I remember the first time I saw that node...my jaw dropped.

Hello again, I will probably make this for the second league coming in december. Just one question, I am playing on playstation 4, how do I should use the filter for this build? Should I disable the filter completely? I mean I need to see white weapons on the ground to make the animated weapons :)
