get a midnight bargain or Montegruls instead of that sword

Macattackmicmac, wich passive nodes, the fire ones?

H4T3MONG3R thanks! i think i would get the montgruls grasp :)

Yeah, the fire damage nodes are going to be useless. Honestly, aside from using a spell like arc to "direct" your minions (which you can easily do with a curse as well) and maybe break pots, you will not need to worry about any spells yourself. Simply put, you won't be specced properly to use them effectively and if you try to get the best of both worlds (spell-caster and minion master) you will be very sub-par at both.

As far as armour and auras go, that really depends on what type of summoner you want to be. DPS driven or tanky?

1.2.0 will likely bring passive tree changes and some minion tweaks with it, so I wouldn't look at anything as being set in stone yet. 21 days from now could bring a world of difference for all we know.

forgot about the passive reset (maybe).... ok, no fire dmg nodes....i want to be dps driven, but i want to survive

Same. I would wait. Unless your really curious about testing things out.

Couple things I like to point out.

1. Spell damage and Fire nodes does not affect minion damage in any way
2. Minion instability effectively cuts your minions life by 33%, The aoe radius is mad small and if you really want to take advantage of it go for some kind of burning setup like Chance to ignite + Elepro
3. In my experience playing summoner dual curse is a bit overkill as most things die before I can even hit the second one. + all the other good support stuff u need to manage. Like convocation, arc + EE, flesh offering, bone offering, ect
4. Make sure your chaos resist is good enough if your going life/es hybrid. Bosses like Spinner of False Hope and Sallazzang. Deal high burst chaos EK shots. Which will melt your character away into dust.
5. Remove witch ele res nodes. Waste of 3 points when res can get to 40% on gear
6. Consider aura nodes as they are particularly op on a summoner type build. Not only does your character get those awesome defensive stats so does ALL of your minions. Each minion you have effectively multiplies the effect of your auras.
7. If this is just a zombie build consider dropping Queens for a 6-L chest and go shield for the extra defense
8. Sidhe breath gets outclasses by any decent defensive rare ammy

General summoner tip. Minions do plenty of dps with just a few minion damage nodes. Its all about minion gem level and support gems, auras, and speed modifiers like vaal haste and flesh offering. Your gear should actually be focused on as much tank as possible.

mattc3303 ty! i will repost here my new improved minion (current) passive tree to see what you have to say about it! thanls again, will take this into very hard concideration :)

how would any of these pssives work out?
