tbh this is a great build but i still feel that my damage is lacking a lot when im mapping low tier map can someone look at my gear and give some suggestion?

ps: i got a minion have chance to taunt and blind on hit plus a to dust jewel


What are you considering low tier maps? I had a lot worse gear than that (literally just res capped with a tabula) and was zooming through as fast as I could on everything up to red maps. Once I got toward 90 I invested in more gear/flipped my gems for 20% quality etc, and red maps are now the same ezmode.
The only real difference I see is no Flesh Offering, so that might be why you're feeling damage is lacking, just that they can't move fast enough to properly kill. Bosses should be absolutely falling over though with that gear up until higher red maps.
Noob here; Am I not supposed to be able to use Melee Splash until later? I got it pretty early but the STR requirement is too high for me by a decent margin.

At VERY early levels you are lacking in strength, just use a heavy belt for now. Once you path to templar area, your str worries will disappear for the rest of the game.
okey, im a bit of a noob here, in the PoB it shows that one of the jewels has Bone barrier support, What is that and is it the Bone armor we get from the nerco accention ?

also how are we surpose to use the bone armor ? it has a very short duration, so is one we just have to spam all the time ?

Im wondering though....Path of Building still does show Essence Glutton as a chosen Ascendancy. Might try and reskill into Bone Barrier in the morning :D

So how are people feeling about 2 wands or a shield?

I'm only into t10 maps, but when I've tried some red maps, I'm feeling a bit squishy. I'm using a shitty shield even though I don't even use Shield Charge.

Something like a Lioneye's Remorse seems pretty popular for a shield option, some fat life.


Oh, and a story about how the build went: was my first minion build, and I didn't know that skeletons don't follow you. Nevertheless, it was decent when leveling, slowly getting stronger and stronger. More or less steamrolled through maps up to red tier, when you start feeling a lack of damage, though that's prob just my shitty budget gear. Vaal skeletons make most bosses and metamorphs a joke though, which is pretty nice.


I'm kind of in the same boat. Though my deaths are usually due to mechanics that barely have any graphical cue. I'm using only one decent wand ATM, crafted the other myself. I got a bit lucky with currency and I have about 5 ex to spend now so thinking a little on what to do.

So far even red maps are a cakewalk overall though.

how does this deal with Chaos Damage without Chaos Inoculation ? (im new to the game)


this is life based build
you can get chaos resist on rares (which btw isn't bad idea since we are swimming in resists, there is not much else to get)


Oh ok I see, ty
Just hit lvl 85 today with this build and I wanted to thank you. I am having a ton of fun, smooth sailing so far. Still need my 6L chest though, they asking too much....but soon!

Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
Are frenzy/power generating spectres really the best ones for the build? We spam skeletons a lot, wouldn't that mean most of the time they don't have charges?
Your spectres and zombies are on drugs also, so those charges are very good + what I noticed is if you have blood magic, they cast the frenzy fiesta more often.

Another thing to take in consideration is that usually trash is not that big of a deal , this is more a boss killer and in boss fights you have almost 40 seconds of skellies which is pretty much enough for the charges :).



P.S I think I will try to incorporate somehow an animate guardian. Maybe with culling strike / fortify. Even without culling strike and fortify from kingskamker , 10% speed from Vicatorios and some other nice additions would be good.
