I've never rolled a summoner and don't know much about animated guardian. Which kind of item should I sacrifice to raise him?

People often use the Leer Cast Mask, Dying Breath Staff and Hyrri's Ire Chest. I use that on my SRS summoner and it works pretty well.

dont forget to put animated guardian in you weapon/shield slots if you can (softcore) so that if things start going badly you can hit X to save the gears. (i think advancing fortress is recommended in OP).

dont agree with build , nor some of the item choises like the +1 curse amulet in favor of a corrupted sidhebeath and the build dousnt have near enough dmg scaling to make it valid in groups if you truely want "god" then take evry single jewel node on the tree

like the link below


13 jewelslots at 10% life or in the case my build sugests 7% ES as i am an auramancer :)

oh and 16% miniondmg a jewel ofc. do the math , OP"s build cant compare

This build still viable in 2.4? An update would be nice! Thanks.

Hi Norse,

Unfortunately getting the immortalis belt isn't as easy as it was in the perandus league, it is about 1ex atm.

I am working on something new and fresh, I feel like there are some undiscovered spectre options still out there after the advent of the mob skills changes.

Here are some mechanics I am thinking about rolling with this time around
- Using a crafted bow with minion dmg
- alternatively going Silverbough for a +1 6L zombie setup
- Soulstrike and going CI
- unending hunger jewel or jewels
- srs + spell echo + less duration -> I believe dying SRS feeds spectre's souls for soul eater
- maybe some different kind of spectre to specialize in that is not very meta
- adding immortalis belt to the build if it gets a bit cheaper

Hey just ripped in EHC at lvl74 with a hybrid life/es version.

I wanna say while it was tough going no flasks no shield (grabbed necro aegis for full yolo mode), I did make it to mid maps. The combined defenses of meat shields, stibnite, aquamarine, decoy totem and a decent health pool (4k life, 2k es at time of death) were very ok for me.

The only dangerous thing for me were degens and that's what I died to eventually, so in hindsight maybe getting some more life regen and chaos res would have been useful. Though to be honest if I didn't need to resummon everything after relogging I'd definitely have logged more aggressively.

A few more things, for spectres I used Knitted Horrors just because I like them but more importantly I totally dropped the cursing, it takes too much space in sockets and the dps is crazy anyway. I ended up using decoy totem and flesh offering as minion positioning skills and they worked for me very well.

Edit: also didn't use unending hunger as it breaks vaal haste and I prefer that.

I actually switched my entire build to CI, a bit of life regen nodes and stone golem countered the effects of degen dmg.

Still working on something else this league. Nothing finalized yet.

My thoughts were either trap spectres or discharge spectre taking advantage of the 150% dmg effectiveness and scaling added chaos/poison with access to minion and area double dip.

Yeah CI is most probably better but my main reason for avoiding it is it's so meta right now that gearing is more expensive than it's really worth IMO. I mean energy from within starts out at 35c...

I am mostly done experimenting with my summoner this league and came up with this build.

Build update:
So you think monster's shotgunning you was overpowered and unfair? Well time to turn the tables and shotgun with our own spectres by stacking as much AOE and cast speed as we can. You can play this build with a variety of spectre types that has an AOE projectile. Al thou Goatman-fire raiser synergises the best with AOE in my opinion. Just summon whatever has the higher level while u are progressing through maps. Flame sentinels, incinerators, and fire-raisers are all good.

Build is CI to counter the effects of using the immortalis belt as much as we can. Althou the build is still very viable without it. Flasks on minions is just extra fun =) and a whole lot of extra damage.

Cleaned the guide a bit. Build should start working at level 68 minimum. This is the point where you can use the belt, all the auras, and have everything working.

There are two paths you can take with jewels either stacking miniondmg and defensive player stats like increased max es or stacking 8% unending hunger jewels for more AOE funtime.

Dying sun flask really shot up in price. I wished I nabbed one at 150c.

The only other issue I see if trying to find higher level fire-raisers then T6 canyon. Prob either shaped canyon or some other map that has it or roll goats/animals on higher lvl maps.

Its been pretty fun playing around with other spectre types besides flame sentinels, i'll prob pick a different spectre each league I play summoner in and try to make that spectre as effective as possible.
