still leveling but it is the smoothest leveling so far. ST is insane. looking forward to endgame
Really solid build. Killed Shaper today deathless. It was smooth sailing from start. Blight is a joke. You can just stand in the middle and just spawn skeletons from time to time. Agrresive spectres and golems are machines too. When in trouble just pop Vaal Skeletons and you have free time for almost minute.

I was using 4 Kitava's Heralds as spectres. They are insanely strong phys minions. Tried using the frenzy charge apes but it was not my style.

9 zombies with meat shield makes you immune to projectiles.

Now I am trying to roll Convocing wand to look if it can roll better than the temple wand i have.

Spoiler
I just started mapping. What gems should i looking for?

1. "3.8 gems"
2. gems at point 4.
3. gems day 3?

This build is just bonkers. It was smooth leveling right off the bat. Once I got skellies it was like the build took off and never stopped. I'm in red maps now, and nothing even gets a chance to look at me before it falls under a wave of minions. I can start a blight encounter, pop vaal skellies, and go afk.

I am using zero uniques. almost 6k health, 1k es, 1.8k mana with MoM. Running a full zoo build - 9 zombies, 10 skellies, 4 spectres, 10 phantasms, 2 carrion golems. Pop Vaal Skellies when i just want to meme entire breaches without moving.

Only bad thing - blight maps are just impossible. Game crashes even without me popping vaal skellies. But hopefully there is a fix coming for that this week.

Here's my current gear/links:



There's nothing impressive here. Just general, solid gear.

I have to ask you guys though: What keystone are you allocating? I have all the good ones (Gravepact, Death Attunement, Ravenous Horde, Grave Intentions)..are there any that would significantly add QoL anywhere? I don't die so I dont really need more health...



Thank you for you info! thank god im not the only one that crashes/dc's in blight maps :D

Are the phantasms better than having meat shield on the zombs ?

I took Death Attunement and removed 6 points from the tree
Are you able to post endgame gear, what we need to find?

I've been running Battle Rouse and liking it. It's like an auto-mana flask. I feel like the nodes leading up to Death Attunement are worth the pathing.
Finished the 3.8 update to the proper guide. Everything should now be much more clear and better explained. Please PM me if you find any issues!
