I'm not a pro or anything, but I feel as if you'd be better off playing caster then respecing to summoner once you have access to merciless knitteds. I was having a lot of frustration trying to just play without playing caster in SC because minions die nearly instantly without them for meat walls.

Hello uhh.. I really like the whole idea of necromancers and this build in particular has peaked my interest quite a lot. The main question I have though is this viable as a new player? I have a decent understanding into the mechanics behind what you are saying. But in terms of gearing will it be possible on a low budget?

hey. why don't you take grave intentions skill in passive skill tree? it gives +1 zombie

i use this build on my first character in perandus league. belt, boots, weapon, doedres ring is 1c each maybe less. 6l vis mortis is expensive but you can buy a tabula rasa for 11-12c. you can use your own rare helm, gloves and shield til you get more currency to buy them. so 15c is enough for this build for a long time.

how many fusings though

I was blessed by Kuduku and got it at around 40 fusing =). First time that has ever happened normally takes me 500-900 fusings.

You have convocation twice in the gear/links section over purity of elements

Thanks I think I was trying to move convocation to the Inc Duration setup. For marginally improved convo heals. But then i forgot to edit that particular section as well.

What they did for early zombie life and spectre life scaling wasn't enough. I feel like there needs to be more of a linear resistance and life scaling for minions as you level and not the huge spikes u get around gem lvl 13 or so.

As suggested level as a spell caster or with an SRS 4L. I was actually thinking of transitioning my summoner to a zoomancer(srs + summoner together) by dropping the coh setup to handle Atziri in her final phase and certain bosses in red maps.

The build does great all the way until Atziri's last phase and where I seem to run out of flask charges to finish her off. It might be better to switch to flame sentinels for more consistent damage since they engage and keep shooting at a distance.

The main items that u require to get are
Advancing fortress - 1alch-1c
or Aurumvorax - 2 alterations
Tabula Rasa - 10-15c
Bones of Ullr - 1alch-1c
Decent +2minion helm - 1-3c
Immortalis - 1alch - 1c
Doedre - 2 alterations
Rest of the gear can be self found or bought for a few c.

The base gear for the build is under 20c.

Once you have some currency together.
Vertex - 10-30c - will continuously get cheaper
Vis Mortis - 5l or 6l. 1ex - 15ex. This is an uncommon chest piece and seems to be only 1 6L in market.

Pushing the build further will require more investment which is natural for any build.

If u check my current tree I actually reached the point where I have extra pts to put in and I did get those nodes. There are more important nodes before that one and 8 zombies is definitely enough.

Noticed in your current profile that you are still experimenting with different combinations or a different build.

Was wondering what your thoughts are on dropping the 2 offensive gems for your zombies. In your profile you are running minion life and fortify. Do zombies need the extra defense? Are they still squishy?

Also noticed that you are experimenting with stone golem and dropped animated guardian, would you opt for the extra defense, instead of having an animated guardian?

I noticed that some of you are using Vessel of Vinktar. If that's the case wouldn't it be better to use EE with Firestorm?

Is this viable in Perandus too? I've heard a lot of rumors that summoners won't work in Perandus because the perandus mobs can absolutely destroy spectres.

I believe I was attempting to run normal Atziri and I noticed my zombies dying a bit too quickly but i was swapping out gems link to handle her huge burst. For general use do Mstrike + Minion dmg as u have ample time to resummon with vertex.

I swap stone golem when I know animated guardian will die. I was running Atziri and i did not want him to die and having to rebuy all those items.

I think Vessel of vinktar lasts a bit too short to take advantage of EE. I bought it just for the burst potential of shocking everything it also makes your minions look really badass.

On the subject of Atziri. I think running flame sentinels will give you more consistent damage output. I was really close to killing her I guess the Knitted AI is not cutting it in that fight she is also stationary a lot so a big chunk of Knitted's movement bleed is not taking effect.

I am running this buld in Perandus SC as we speak and pretty much have very little trouble with perandus packs even in t13. You will struggle against these as when you are in cruel and normal but it will get much better in merc. Level as a spell caster until then.

Perandus packs is a trash cause they dont spawn one-shot monsters (like bears for example) just fast-shoting ones, that totally countered by bone offering and outburst with flasks on Horrors.
For that guys that love to have 75/75 blocks 100% uptime - i suggest grab some AoE nodes(for now i grab 4, want 5 in future) and try Blade Vortex for curse applying(instead of ball lightnig/firestorm). In this case u have near 100% uptime in your fortify too(just WBlade all time). I think it's optimal for low-lvl maps(and if good playing|gearing up to t12 maps i think) - self casting that slowing balls takes soooooo looooooong times... And by fast moving from
p.s. I change Incr DUration gem for Guardian as well, payed 3 skills for inc duration from three for that ( having just 30% inc duration from ascendary class not comfortable for keeping 100% uptime on bone offering even with 20Q (+10% inc dur) => it's stacks with Blade Vortex for good (8s on it)
P.s.s AoE nodes affect blasphemy enfeeble too

Hello fellow summoners,
A quick tip for noobs like me who have a REALLY REALLY HARD time summoning knitted horrors in the middle of all the other mobs.
There is an option in the "Input tab" where you can "enable corpse targetting"!! Assign this to whatever you want and you can finally have your 3 knitted horrors :)
Maybe it is common knowledge but if I knew it earlier it would have saved a lot of time.
Could you put this info in the beginning of the post ?
Thx for the great guide it is really enjoyable
