{3.2.0} Spectral Gods: [Life Based Spectre/Golem Hybrid Summoner | Clear Speed | End Game Bossing]

At this point after shifting around gears n stuff... my use of MOM as a mechanic for damage mitigation has been reduced to nothing... but i still need to be using cloak of defiance for that mana regen to support arctic armor.

with about 350 mana left over from reserving clarity discipline haste putity ... need clarity and discipline together to support AA ( barely manage to support it from all the over burn mana consumption from inner force etc )



Did manage to make this


and figured since i can support AA i should go for cast speed on it which is good for srs.

trying to find slots for utility gems is a pain for sure...
convocation desecrate vaal haste vaal discipline -.-" using the offhand to switch when i need those gems and cursing n stuff...
how are you guys managing to fit utility gems into your spec.

iron will srs = irs

start as mara wear cheap aa gear

use Doryani's Catalyst + Cybil's Paw

Hey Matt have you seen this build yet seems promising http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1008738

may not kill fast but is damn tanky as hell for a summoner

LOL! funny shit.
Matt I'm curious how you achieved 6k life without a shield. That's pretty good. I suppose you stopped using arctic armor since you can spam that 6 sec phys invulnerability ?
I tried belly of the beast and I didn't like it too much. I'm still using my old ES/life spectral gods armor.
I use haste and hatred linked to generosity and my presence in a group is quite significant.
I'm too lazy to try it but i think +aura effectiveness increases the aura effectiveness of generosity.

Just stack ridiculous amounts of STR, levels, and +%hp lol. I still use Arctic armor because why not. Gives me movement speed and fire protection and the off chance am not in immortal call mode.

Yeah with my old armor/es plate I get around 5.5k-5.6k life and a ton of mana. Prob too much mana since I don't bother with MoM anymore.

Still got my old shield too.


I think aura effectiveness from generosity is added on to the aura effectiveness. Its tempting to have a 60%+ hatred aura. I might give hatred another go once I gain more self cast spd from somewhere.

Welcome to the summoner life. No sockets.

Some tips: Unset rings
using your offhand for stuff like cursing. Is there a +1 curse weapon or shield? Cuz that would be sick as a offhand switch. That duration shield is prob useful as shit. 100% increased curse duration.

Am not sure if iron will applies to SRS. I think it takes the SRS str not your own, at least that is how other minions work. Well sounds interesting GL with that build.

Yeah I saw that. But the Shav's requirement is too crazy on my budget atm lol. I don't play as much as i use to. Probably the best dude to party with. Tanky distractions, all da auras.

Nub question here. Is leveling summoner viable or should I level some other way and switch over at level ??

Build looks awesome btw.

I recommend leveling as something else. Summoner gets good at around lv40 or so. When u hit cruel act 1, about then.

Several things to aid you:

Flameblast
LMP - FP
Searing Bond totem
Shockwave totem
firetrap
spectral throw

of course if your summoner only focused b/c u want to be for whatever reason from 1->100

skele + spell totem,
rejuv totem,
life on hit/leach zombies
vaal summon skele

Thanks for the advice Matt. Think I'm going to try summons all the way and see how it pans out.

Is there any reason you do not get Minion Instability?

I would like to know where I am supposed to be getting survivability? I am following your SRS tree, and I am the exact opposite of tanky. I am getting killed in two hits by trash mobs in the catacombs at level 62. Your previous builds all used EB + MoM, but this league you have gotten rid of MoM.

It's not a matter of life nodes. There is plenty of that in the build. There's no armor, there's such an emphasis on energy shield and evasion, but nothing to mitigate the damage that is getting through, without MoM. So, without all the expensive uniques, how do I do this?

Gonna repeat my answer:
MI - Kinda counter intuitive for a summoner. You'll want them to tank and draw agroo not blow up and deal a small radius aoe. The damage can barely match the dps of a minion thats still alive and swinging away.

Long story short, you'll do more dmg without MI.

Increased duration + immortal call , enduring cry 6seconds of physical invulnerability that u can infinitely loop.

See your life bar drop instantly hit your seething life flasks.

Use arctic armor.

Use enfeeble.

I guess am getting use to Hardcore leagues now. I never put my character at risk such as running blindly into melee packs. I believe I mentioned the IR + grace combo isn't too far from the build. Give that a try you'll get around 40% physical reduction.

The entire playstyle of spamming SRS should be in a safe position behind your zombie line. Not sure what u think is expensive besides my 6L weapon.
