Ok, so for you people that are far more experienced in summoner builds I have a few question :
Based on my POB my minions are not max rez even though i sacrificed some damage on my wand to get them some resists , are your minions capped ?
Melee splash is a good ideea, but since the carrion golem does a lot of aoe, I don't think it's necessary , from your experience is multistrike or ruthless better ?
I find zombies to be idiots, do we really need brutality on them ? For now I swapped minion life to feeding frenzy, but I fear that they will die a lot, so I am thinking of dropping brutality for feeding frenzy. For me Brutality seems worthless since they never go outside my area to actually do any damage. Better have some damage from them rushing the enemy than nothing.
And last but not least, I think I asked this before, is the helm enchant +1 zombie / +1 skely worth it ? Or should I craft the minion resistance on it and get a wand with minion damage. I won't cap the resistances nevertheless, but If I get an answer to my first question it might not be the case.
If anyone is willing to explain I can drop a pob if needed. Thanks for the time and please note It's my first summoner, after the first attempt in beta poe when I didn't know shit about the game.
I may not be able to answer any of your questions but I may be able to give you some unsolicited advice on you armor :)
1) I don't think that any of the uniquids that you have equipped are better than some rares that you can purchase. Take a look at the OP's recommendations under 'High Budget' (missed named, not that expensive)
2) Get a +2 minion helmet
3) Set your flasks up like the recommendations, this is a well thought out combination of flasks
Bottom line is get a good foundation before worrying about the details

Melee splash is a good ideea, but since the carrion golem does a lot of aoe, I don't think it's necessary , from your experience is multistrike or ruthless better ? The only time where I miss melee splash is in incursions. There it is needed. I tried multristrike, but it lagged a lot when i used vaal summon skelletons. So I stick with ruthless. It's good if your minions get all 3 hits in.

I won't cap the resistances nevertheless, but If I get an answer to my first question it might not be the case. I'm not sure about the enchant. But don't worry about the resistance. Try to get a bone helmet with +2

People use convoking wand with "Trigger a socketed spell when you use a skill" with vulnerability. Do they use spectre with curse or where does it proc?
im new to this build but im just not getting why arent we going like a 6 slot (2hand)weapon on this build with multiple gems for zombies(example) for maxing out dmg?
First off I'd like to thank Viperesque for the amazing guide!
Made this build my starter this league and it's been incredibly breezy throughout. Gearing was the easiest I've had and it meant I could start accumulating currency rather early.
Done most of the content on the character, it easily handles Shaper, Elder, Uber Elder, Uber Atziri and 6 watchstones Sirus.
Made a few slight changes to the build but nothing major, this is (the likely) final state of my character:
Only got the Headhunter yesterday, it's meant for my next character but I figured it'd make farming for it faster to just slap it on this character, absolutely not necessary for any of the content.
