"Dread servant" Specter synergy for boss killing
The Dread servant found in the ACT 1 Tomb of the Consort has an amazing synergy with zombies and profane ritual.
Every several seconds (like 10-ish?) this specter raises/summons around 5 skeletons, these skeletons dont really do much by themselves BUT when they die, they always leave behind a corpse. Combine that with the profane ritual for empower farming to summon your own empowered zombies. Summon 2 of these liches and you will have a constant stream of bodies. Something that (for me at least) was always a problem when fighting bosses that didnt have minions. Since the big bosses that fight alone are usually strong enough to kill all of your skellies in 1-2 hits and they spend more time dead then alive. Not a problem when you've an endless stream of zombies to raise. HOWEVER, in a prolonged fight mana becomes a problem so you might want to pick up a mana drain wand. Not to mention the profane ritual itself deals decent damage too. Anyway, i found it pretty cool. The dread servant itself doesnt really do any amazing damage, but currently its bugged and isnt using one of its abilities so it might be even better in the future. Another thing that i havent tested on a boss yet but might be synergetic : The faridun plaguebringer raises several fly minions from corpses and explodes them for major damage (tho area of effect is rather small) Might be synergetic to combine these 2, one for making corpses and the other for exploding them and summoning flies.

If you want corpses, my play was getting the Bloodthief queen to summon 20 wasps every 30 seconds, then use unearth and pain offering.
but nothing compares to the Vaal guards from Utzaal that throw cannons. sadly. |
