I summon my fire cannibals, but i'm not sure what to use after and in what order when fighting bosses

Playstyle is easy, you just run fast between enemy packs, and hit convocation/stormbrand... :-)

Should i use Convocation as often as possible, or only sometimes? Same for storm brand?

And does the same strategy work for bosses?

It's better to use it as ofthe as possible, because that makes spectres//guardian safer, dont let them stay in some dot/aoe effects. Its the same for bosses, most of time you'll be just running in circles there.

I suggest adding Garb of the Ephemeral as an option for Animate Guardian chest piece. If you can keep it alive without Gruthkul's regen (so far I have been able to), it provides a really nice defensive bonus.

Yeah the cannot be slowed below base value and enemies cannot crit are really nice. I wasn't sure about added it to the guide because of the league's popularity and whether Garb will be available in 3.7 (bestiary was unpopular and took several leagues before rejoying as core).

I have a question! unending hunger has only 30 int allocated in radius. Is this intended? is it just not worth it a point? it has been bugging me for a while.

If you compare Anatomical Knowledge to Unending Hunger, UH doesn't have the word 'allocated'.

Just curious....Was it intentional to remove Increased Duration Support and Elemental Weakness from the build? Also wondering if it was intentional to have 2 Faster Casting Supports in the build?

*Bump*

Yes.

If you're using Necromantic Aegis and Victario's Charity, you should always have 3 frenzy charges. These 3 charges will allow phase run to last for 7s. Inc Duration also only increases IC from 0.4 to 0.6s which is fairly insignificant.

Originally the build focused on DPS, so it defaulted to dual curse. However, a lot of feedback was that defence was lacking and DPS was overkill, so I've dropped dual curse in favour of pathing to phase acro. New players should have a better time of staying alive in early mapping and can look at dual curse when they have more passives/currency. The new tree also paths to the left to pick up quick recovery, allow people the option of MOM.

The faster casting in the curse group allows you to cast storm brand faster, plus increases its hit rate. It also serves as a blue socket place holder for Ele Weakness or Flammability, if people choose to spec into dual curse.

Have a look at this mapping demo: https://youtu.be/Kdbv75bwyE4

Essentially you just use phase run/quartz flask to gain phasing, then you run through packs of monsters. When you are in the middle of a pack, you cast convocation to blow them up. While convocation is on cooldown, you run in tight circles around packs.

When you get to a boss, you run up to it, cast vaal skeletons and convocation. Then run in a small circle so you don't get hit by any stray attacks.

My first ever fossil craft and I got this. Should I use it, even though it doesn't reduce mana reserved?

Thanks :D one small issue, though, for me, after selecting vaal skeletons on a hotkey, it says that "skill can't be used". I have it socketed on mainhand weapon, like the build said. I guess it's because of the "trigger" mod on the weapon... Is this intended? Is it supposed to be socketed somewhere else?


Other than that, the build is awesome. Defeated guardians without a sweat. I'm thinking about starting to use Animate Guardian and doing the switching to a rare shield for more hp.

That's a really nice craft, so you should use it and allocate the two passives to get -4% reduced mana.

Buy a second bone helmet and fossil craft the new one until you hit the reduce mana reserve & +socket.

Alternatively, you can spend some currency to craft -mana on your jewellery:

Great and detailed guide man. It had to take so much time to do such awesome work. I love to play as summoner and can't wait to try this in fresh league. Do you think is good idea to start with this build in upcoming flashback event or it's too complicated for not even a 1-month long league?
