Spoiler
This will feel like a more conventional summoner. Replace Raging Spirits with Skeletal Reavers, drop Ember Fusillade (or whatever you're using to summon RS) and use a second curse (probably Despair, maybe Temporal Chains if it feels exceptional) manually along with the Reaver and Frost Mage commands to manage Infernal Flame (stay above 35% but never hit max). I want to have 4th ascension, be able to summon 3+ Reavers and have 4 support gems before attempting this swap.

Progression of the campaign build. Add Hypothermia to the Blasphemy link and summon Frost Mages with any extra Spirit to more rapidly apply freezes to bosses. As others have rightly pointed out, Raging Spirits felt bad early on but are starting to ramp up :)

That's fine, mathematically better even, but it's mostly personal preference as far as what fire skill feels best to use for you. I like Ember Fusillade because you can accurately send them off screen. Flame wall is faster activation and will slightly buff frost mage damage.

Minions are not instant dying and do a decent amount of damage; the biggest problem was my own resistances. If you don't have enough extra spirit at this point from gear to get all the skeletons (remember life/strength also increases spirit), drop the clerics first then the storm mage. Here are a couple examples of what the build looks like at this point when played well but far from perfectly: Level 55 Act 5 Keth boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMwHXeh-ick Level 67 Act 6 final boss https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmAeDXxwx0I What I am currently working on (level 72) 3rd ascension soon. Ele resists capped, still no 4th support slots other than sceptre. Balance feels a little off in that sense but making slow progress regardless :) Last edited by Anomaly33#2899 on Dec 12, 2024, 3:04:05 AM Last bumped on Dec 12, 2024, 6:19:15 AM

I see you go into the defense and offense tree which seems to be recommneded (First time ever play POE so questions are just curious...I know nothing )
- You touch crit but do avoid the "fire" up in the tree despite this being an ignite build...Is ignite not fire? - we have a node that pays mana before life and some node which raise life/life reg ...is this just to traverse to aura nodes? You are far far ahead of me...i just know i want a with with minions and this leaned into fire damage for me...so why do you want to focus on crit? |

"The idea is for the player to mostly afk, just using skills to keep Infernal Flame high while minions carry most of the damage. To my understanding things like "fire damage" or "spell damage" will not help minions. Could be wrong for sure. "The node that pays mana before life should translate to Infernal Flame. It could be that this will brick the build and I'll need to change it but in my head it sounds like it will be a really nice defensive layer with minimal downside. The 20% life regen/ 5% recoup node towards the bottom may be better spent elsewhere; I'm sure the tree will have a couple minor changes like that by/in endgame. But yes the aura nodes are mandatory IMO. Very strong for only having to travel that far. "Crits = bigger hit = bigger ignite should be the case.

looks decent, also curious about the fire cluster at the top but we will need to get there before we can know, I guess.
what I am most curious about is strength stacking, how if at all it effects our ascendency's life drain. If the life drain is a flat amount then it could be extremely beneficial to str stack. |

This looks great, can you just tell me, for the nodes with +5 all attributes, what do you have selected? In general, I chose intelligence all the time, but I saw that some support skills require strength, so if you don't mind explaining to me if you have it somewhere, where and how much?

Tree seems nice . Which gems will you use and support gems?
|
|
|
The tree looks great, can you also let me know what skills you using please, and also the support gems.
