Quick question and im sorry if its been answered already :

Very early in the league when you dont have access to a weapon with the trigger socketed spells craft, what do you do with bone offering and desecrate ? Just cast it manually ?

Thanks for this awesome guide btw, will probably league start with it for 3.11 :)

Yep, manually. Offering during mapping can use corpse on the ground as you go. Desecrate and then offering when bossing.

Ran into a wall with going for a full defensive build and the Joy to do it. (that and didnt like last challenge league rewards)

With 3.11, it gives me hope again.

Glancing Blows is Now on the Tree, and its in a very easy to get to spot overall compared to using a timeless. 75% chance to take 50% Dmg from almost every Hit.. then Layer in other defensive options with Minions...


Use the Surrender for around 769HP recovered Per Block


Possibly Increased Duration Enduring Cry for around 2k Regen per Second.
Its easy to get 100% Increased Duration for a 4 Sec Cooldown/4Sec Duration Warcry. 8khp regen over 4 sec ?

Creates Endurance Charges for Immortal Call to.

I was looking into glancing blows too, but: look at the new skill tree, Arcane Guarding cluster got buffed, and with Bone Offering, Arcane Guarding, Mystic Bulwark and some spell block craft on shield you can get high enough block to not even think about glancing. (5% from craft on shield, 26% from bone offering, 12% from Arcane Guarding, 8% from Mystic bulwark = 51% spell block)

And wiht attack block craft on body armor you can reach pretty good attack block chance as well.

At around 50% block Glancing Blow is no more worth it, and with a bit of investment (i know its way harder in SSF) you can reach max block without huge DPS loss.

Getting to 50% Block chances is easy. Getting the Final 20-25% to make it more reliable is where it gets hard.

I went into that hole last League trying to get 75%/75% Block without Glancing Blows, the gear Requirement/point requirement to get there gets high. (mostly.. the points requirement)


When Glancing blow lets us flat out get to cap with very very little effort.

With Glancing Blow for spell Block. (4pts for Glancing Blows)
Bone Offering 26% -> Glancing Blow takes this to 52%
2pts for Mystic Bulwark -> 16% Spell Block. up to 68%

This is with Zero gear, 6 pts movement from Base Tree that is used.
This gets even higher once you start adding in your +Minion Gems bonuses

It's the same function that Vortex Build uses when it goes Glancing Blows.

With the right spectre/gem swap ele reflect maps are doable?

Honestly, because Rings/Pantheon aren't super crucial parts of these Spectre builds, if you really want to run Ele reflect maps, you can just have a Sibyll's Lament around to throw on your left ring socket + swap to Yugul pantheon for any ele reflect maps you find.

This gives you 100% ele reflect nullification for a very low cost, especially since you don't seem to mind swapping things around.

Shakari getting nerfed makes this an even less impactful swap, and Necro is one of the easier classes to get Chaos res on anyway. When I was doing map marathons in Delirium I just sat on Yugul for simplicity's sake.

Can anyone recommend a Loot Filter for Summoner? Or should I just use a regular neversink filter?

What changes from a Neversink filter do you you feel that a Summoner should be seeing?

Bone Spirit Shield, i use 3-4 of those during lvling, to craft flasks and then helmets.

Also, sound alerts and minimap icon for small currency early on helps a lot, esp transmutes, the go-to necro lvling currency (needed for flask and helmet crafts)

isnt burning legion on SRS way faster for clearing then putting it on skitterbots? Maybe together with minion instability? For smooth leveling, or bad choice?

Would you be willing to update the leveling section to list unlinked but used skill gems, and an off-hand list just for gem experience, with the exceptional change to color coding?

I've really enjoyed this guide so far, thank you.

Ur asking pretty much id say. This guide is super detailed.... and ur off hand should be spectres. To vaal them to get a 21 gem

So, Kay, i think i finally found the setup that can go with spectres at lvl28 without them dying.

The key is Purity of Elements... yeah, it just makes minions so much tankier agains ele dmg.

Here is the setup. none of my permanent minions died to Dominus.

The next big boss is Mom Piety from Act 4. She will kill zombies and Spectres 101%...
