Will the corpses summoned by Desecrate interact with Detonate Dead? If so how is the max life of the summoned corpses determined?

The corpses are based on the level of your Desecrate skill, though can't go too far above the area level. It'd be roughly equivalent to the life of non-magic monsters of that level.

On another note, Will there now be a Desecrate spell and a Desecrated Ground effect from items in the game? Or will desecrated ground be changed?

Desecrate ground has a new effect, and has been changed in how it does damage to a flat value. We'll have more information on this available soon!

Quoted from the announcement forum on the new summon skills. Annoying that their already nerfing a Animate Guardian build when it already has several issues as is. Both it and Animate Weapon need some love but so far are not receiving it in the summoner patch.

That sucks. Was half way through level 19 on my animate guardian while getting a few pieces of gear ready for him before the CoD and now this nerf. Seems like the summoner "changes" are just stealth nerfs in disguise.

Any advices for The Coward s Trial As a summoner? (BM some zombies no hatred low life)

devouring totem/detonate dead on totem or self cast

honestly the map is pretty damn easy as long as you clean up corpses

unless your computer is old (lag with all those corpses raised) or you cant do much damage (which you'll do plenty if you are spectre-based). its a 66 map anyhow.

Past certain BM kill speed I stopped even clearing up corpses in cowards trial, before you ask ut was before CoD spectres. It's a very easy map, especially for summoner, fps is the biggest enemy there.

I just rush the bosses and clean the map afterwards.

Ty for your advices. Did it today. At first i took a spell totem + faster casting... but the detonate dead wasnt triggering without mo ster so i did the cleanup manualy. Was faster. The only difficulting was some chaos archers and the last boss who suprised me when i spawned i had to stepp back a bit. But easy cleaning. Next ill try it unidentified.

I lost my lovely guardian number while playing with gems in lunaris (hatred) i could have saved him..but i forgot about it i w1s watching how were doing my Minions on theyr own instead of clicking the respawn button. Back in the lab i noticed something was missing..

Build a new one with way more expensive gear: this time evasion based better claw and shield (LL+LGH)
I dont regret the loss this one tank better this is the best totem ever plus it is also a mobs radar. If you "dont give orders" it will go back and forth aggroing off screen mobs;)

A few questions:
I saw almost everybody not taking any +15% minions damage. .should i respect them when i it lv 20?

My current gear are :

Im planning to go for dual midnight i order to have 3 Bm one eva.
Ultimately Shavronne is my goal...meanwhile i got almost all aura nodes near me:
Can run purity discipline hatred vitality on mana (160 ish left) and purity x on life + one bargain and almost 340 hp left.

So far survivability is good i dont get oneshoted anymore by chaos snakes/construct. My bloodmagic reduced mana zombies all supports are lv 18. I think i will be able to run dual midnight and maybe low level clarity on life and 1 additionql purity on mana when i get the final Scion node.

Assuming this passive tree should i focus on es armor or eva armor. I saw a sexy chest with 6s 5l for 3ex 1500 armor 550 es without quality and some life and res. For the same price i saw 800 eva 600 es same others specs.
What do you think?


Edit first priority is to buy a 6l queen decree ( might be wrong due to minion damage not boosting BM..maybe i should go for chobber)

there is zero point to run a unique map unid'ed because you dont get the bonus like you do with regular maps.

if you're going BM's, minion damage nodes arent very useful. to be honest, theyre not terribly useful with other spectres, either. things like curses, EE, shocking, etc. will generally be much more effective in improving kill speed, if youre into that. imo, most spectres clear just fine

if i were you i wouldn't go dual midnight, having 2 or 3 bm's is the same as only having 1 so i rly see no point on it (having too many zombies can be mroe of an anoyince than help and i disnt see skeletons anywhere on your gear), you would benefit more from a prism guardian so you could get low life while ading more auras into your setup, and again i seriously see no point on your cast on dmg taken setup. you could either put you guardian in there (if you go with prism guardian), or lightning warp + faster cast + reduce duration or skelly totem or whatever, but this is just my opinion

The minion damage nodes do add up to quite a lot, assuming you take them all. Taking all 6 (I think that's all of them?) gives you an extra 90% increased damage, that's a decent amount. Monsters dying faster means less damage your minions are taking.

It is a lot of passives, and they are out of the way to an extent. I don't know how well "increased" scales and whether sinking 8 passives for it would be worth it.

Question: do you have any tips for applying shocks? I spam arc all day long but rarely does it ever seem to apply a shock debuff.
