hello. I really love your guide and now i'm playing on normal act 1. I'm new player and still getting used to the game. I've been just wondering why do i have to wait for cruel or merciles diff to get raise spectre gem? Are there different versions or? Now i have raise zombie and can raise 5 at the time, and i have raise spectre and raise chaos golems too and can have 1 at the time. So i'm act 4 on normal and almost have complete build. So i've been wondering is that good or bad thing :S
thanks a bunch :)

sry this is my main acc. Somehow i got one from game luncher at first and one from steam (wierd i know). You can check my character please and tell me what you think i should do. Thank yo very much

Good day, I want to start with a thank you. Always a pleasure to deal with a guide that really explains a most part of the emerging issues clear and scrupulously. I'd like to try this build in a new league.

As for my questions:

Whispers of Doom area. In the skill tree you select "Curse cast speed" point instead of 2x"Curse Effect". Does it make sense to choose this useless option (within the Curse on hit situation), for the sake of saving a single point?

I understand that most of the skills mana cost is quite small, but isn't it better to replace the two "+10 strength" points leading to the Jewel socket above the marauder for similar that gives you 0.3 and 0.4 Life regen in the Scion area? Especially since you have MoM. Or you get both of this Jewel slots up to 90-91 lvl? Even one of your two ring solve the problem with the STR req. on red gems.

Isn't Bubbling Eternal Life Flask will be better than Seething Divine?

Should I think about implementation of "Victario's Charity" with "Necromantic Aegis" or this idea hit's character's survivability too much? Even with some additional minions?

The way you play depends on how you would prefer to play, lvling as a summoner is slow and ineffecient, but if you are enjoying the time invested, then you're playing it the best way suited for you.
My guide recommends switching to summoner later due to the ineffeciency of lvling as a summoner! :)

Cheers, I'm glad you like my work!
Comes down to a matter of taste, sadly summoner builds are not only socket starved in gear, they are usually rather starved of skillpoints as well which is why by old habit I am minmaxing my skilltree points as well.

Regarding the str vs life regen it comes down to a matter of taste, with MoM/ZO/EB all your life regen is put towards your ES which is your mana source as well as coverage of your mana pool. So life regen will be ES regen (pseudo mana regen). I personally prefer the strength nodes as they are directly increasing my actual life pool.
Your rings as well as belt and everything else that you can get strength on together with life is preferably as long as you are caping your resistances.


Bubbling Eternal vs Seething is also a matter of taste, I've always preffered Seething Divine over Bubbling, main point with these flasks is to make sure you hit full HP asap.


Necromantic Aegis:
Victarios Charity is a wonderful shield to use with NA but does lower your eHP, resistances and block for yourself puting yourself in harms way. Now i like the offensive gain from the idea but personally prefer the higher defence as I like to push higher end game content. However, this like many other things comes down to a matter of taste.



Something you'll notice when playing summoner builds is that a lot of guides are rather simmilar, I am one of the few that are trying to minmax every single detail in summoner builds or any other build i make for that matter. But small utility tweaks and different approaches usually ends in the "matter of taste" category! :)


I hope my answers sufficed!

I'll be updating this for the 2.3 asap after release. If you have any questions about the build whilst awaiting for my update, feel free to hit me up @ www.twitch.tv/Ghazzy

Hey Ghazzy,

I ran this build during the two week race, it's layered defenses kept me alive during some of those crazy all league mod days. Overall the build was a lot of fun so I just wanted to stop by and say thanks. Beating some of those SRS and BV necromancers brought me great joy.

Thank you for an quick and detailed response. I'm always trying to optimize builds that I play, too.

I got it. In that term you might as well cut 3 points between the "Foresight" and Jewel Socket above the Shadow and connect tree by two points between the "Lord of the Dead" and "Cruel Preparation". If 1 extra point for nothing better than 2 for 10% curse effect, than it's even more better than 6% max ES. Especially since you can get much better ES nodes in Witch area.


Another qustion.

I realize how strong the EE, but how well it works in group-play? Since Sentinels attack's pretty intensive, what's best solution for coordinated duo-play - drop EE or synchronize the elements even if it's will require change Ball lightning to the fire spell? (for example, to not overlap cold\lightning damage skill of another party member)

And if you have some expirience of party play - how well your build performs overall? Tweaks? Underwater rocks?

THe routing i've done is suited for my personal preference, if you prefer to do another route thats your take as it all ends with super small differences.

EE is hilariously stupid :D
Minions do not proc EE! So if you plasy in a party that EE would be bad for, then you just remove curse on hit and manually cast the curse.

Congrats!

95 is impressive for 2 weeks and also without expensive gear. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to post a video, displaying your clear speed.

Thanks Ranmaz,

Unfortunately I run a real potato of a computer so im not sure if I would be able to upload anything of quality. The clear speed is pretty decent even in T14/T15 maps, although to be honest the Beyond mod really slowed down progress at time. On that note I will see what I can do to get a video made relatively soon.

That would be lovely as I don't have a character in this build anymore! :)
