I'm currently lvl 78 in Nemesis and I have :
4k armor, 4k2 life (I'm missing life on two items, and need to take 7 extra life nodes, so I will probably be at 5k life end game), 2k mana, 0% chaos resist and 77% all resist.

With the use of cast on damage taken ==> Enduring cry/Molten shell you are already min/maxing the damage reduction, you probably don't have to go throw the bottom and take Iron reflexes. The gear is probably more expensive though.

Also, you will have probably more mana with EB and run an extra aura.

Can you kill dominus with this build? If so, can you do a video of it?

I will. when I have the time.

some question about bm's aura in regard to item rarity

degen auras does not work with item rarity support gem. Still works with item rarity on gear.

"

I'm loving the build so far, currently in Merc A2 (Nemesis). Somehow it feels like my zombies arent really doing anything other than being meatshields, but I guess that's partly the point. Mostly just the 5linked BMs wipe out the entire screen. However, one huge problem for me is the goddamn Storm Herald mod. My BMs basically get 1shot before I even see the rare if I'm unlucky, and if I try to kill it they are almost guaranteed to get shocked & die. I'm using minion life & res but doesnt do that much it seems... (and also instant minion flasks)

Storm herald huh? Isn't that the one that casts piety's lightning storms? That is pretty deadly to minions. Try raising 2x evangelist 1x bm. The bubble should be able to cover your army if positioned correctly. Or perphahs try a longer range spectre instead of bm's like tentacle miscreations with faster projectile or whatever other long range monsters.

"

I still have difficulties against mobs inside the septer of god... What kind of damage does th Evangelists?

Physical spell

1. What's the third gem you haven't leveled up besides Spectral Throw and Cast when Damage Taken and at which level it is if not 1?

Prob clarity, u match it with the mana u have left.

Also my builds changed a bit since that video, i no longer use spectral throw as it didn't feel like it flowed well with the fast movement of lightning warping. I choose to instead use 5 instant minion life flasks.

I actually have close to that amount of hp, around 4.8k
enduring cry/molten shell doesn't maximize your physical defensive. 80% damage reduction is better than 50%. Might as well be tanky as possible you never know what could hit you. I survived a lot of situations because when I granite I gained about 86% damage reduction.

Also I didn't go down there just because of IR, I also wanted manashield which is another 30% flat reduction on all damage types. That 18% hp node path is the equivalent of roughly 4.25 8% hp nodes. I also wanted the other op node which is the 15% life flask recovery nodes. With the 5 flasks nodes combined you'll instant flask for like 630 life.

Its also impossible to run an extra aura even with all that mana because mana reserves are pretty much all percentage now. If your goal is to run a bunch of auras you should of grabbed that Charisma node.

ps. I like the idea that am the only summoner build that takes IR and manashield =3.

Playing around with:

Summon Skele + Mstrike + Addedchaos

since chaos isn't a element and chaos is added damage on hit and mstrike hits 3 times your looking at 300(rounded) + base skele dmg a second per skele.

This could be the solution to bosses that decimate your zombies.

If one can find the gem slots. Of course just always having these 3 gems with me will only cost 3 spots in inventory, but even so...

my question is, do you have enough mana for mana shield to be viable for big hits ? ie lets say a 3.5k crit, do you have 1k mana for it to soak damage ?

I think a lot of people (myself included) go for AA+a bit of armor+ evasion instead of IR+MS just because its easier in terms of gear. mana regen is worth nothing on jewelry+weapons so you can run a high level AA for small hits and have like 3k evasion off grace alone (and evasion synergies with enfeeble or blind very well).

IR+MS is technically far more tanky and MS works for spells as well which is huge, but good armor/hybrid gear (especially 6L) is pretty damn expensive.

Atm I have 206 mana left over(possibly 300 with the 3 6%life,8%mana nodes)

think about it this way

You take that 3,500 damage 30% of that is 1050 mana, lets say you have 300 mana left over:

300 will go to your mana and 750 will hit your life. You now take 3,200 damage to your life this could potentially save you from getting one shotted.

I plan to combine artic armor and mana shield together. I still need some nice mana regen ammy/ring.

your game plan is flawed against attack moves that will always hit and moves that hit you anyways because there is no such thing as 100% evade. Evasion as many veteran poe players will tell you is a pretty weak stat.

block on the other hand is amazing. combined with aegis aurura you can make your character almost immortal. Am definitely planning on some sort of block build in the future.

I disagree. there are very few attacks that always hit out there. you are right that block is amazing, but aegis isnt cheap at all, which was my point entirely- AA+evasion+a bit of armor build is very cheap and effective.
MS is great against spells though if you have big pool of mana available.
which brings me to my point that I feel like for mana shield to be viable, you need a big mana pool so you need to let go of an aura. with both AA and MS you wont ever have a lot of mana either.

Hmmm. I'll see how it goes when I acquire more mana regen. I still believe that even a bit of mitigation is still effective, small bits of mitigation adds up.

Where would you place those 3 points if I were to drop MS o.o?

I still like the IR + Grace + Determination combo. I easily gain 17k+ armor. 20k on molten shell. I can take high map level rhoa charges to the face and laugh at their pitiful damage lol.

The only thing that am still worried about is those high boss damage bursts. I hope to just stack as much hp as possible. And if it is against a spell based boss deactivate determination and gain more left over mana to make MS more effective.

Mmm I do see the point of your argument. That 3 points to get MS is pretty much the same thing as getting clarity + AA, and more life which is arguably more effective since I can cast things when am getting hit.
