sry but what did u mean on that last part about skele+trigger for minion bomber?
is it still fine like desecrate+offering or dead like BV for auto EE/curse??

also, what did you change about your skele setup? i couldnt find any change in the srs bomber section of your guide or your current PoB-link.

I used trigger + skele + infernal legion + replica siege breaker for clearing. but 8s cooldown is too long for that, so I made some changes to use another way to increase clear speed.

It's just plan now. I haven't updated guide on forum yet and I still need to rebuild character too!

Kay, Have you done any testing with exploding skeletons? They seem interesting with the new low life being 50%.

Not really. I saw already many guides for it, but I was testing this version of Minion Bomber:



I'm not sure if Akuna's Will makes zombies count as corpse for Corpse Pact... it would mean don't need skitterbots for chill/shock aura (free 35% mana reserve!)

2% increased Attack and Cast Speed for each corpse Consumed Recently, up to a maximum of 200%
Enemies near corpses you Spawned Recently are Chilled and Shocked
Corpses you Spawn have 50% increased Maximum Life

Hi Kay,

just dropping in to say thanks for the detailed and well explained guide!

I'm a returning player, last played league I was farming shaped T14 Vaults with overlapping sextants (yes, it was THAT long ago, maybe Abyss or Bestiary? :) ). I did that with an ES/ CI immune necromancer, so I will start again with spectres and use your guide as template.

Don't know yet if I will ever make the transition to pure spectres, have to catch up with all the new game mechanics first from 10+ leagues I missed :)

CU & regards,
Mandra

I remember sextant blocking!! :P And when we need to spawn UE on shaper guardian to continue story but most of the time he didn't spawn there...

Pure Spectre is pretty easy to transition to! Just need to save some currency to buy the uniques. and then upgrade cluster jewels.


Last step is high end build with expensive helmet, but I don't make that build (too expensive for me)

wow this looks crazy youre a minion mastermind.
so would you just replace SRS with zombies and summon them with unleash as well?
would you also add infernal legion so they explode faster or could they also explode when using them as corpses for offering spells?

Whats your thoughts for syndicate operatives? didnt found them in your guide (maybe i am blind or?)

Edit : nvm it seems you added them i just had to refresh

Thank you so much for updating the POB with leveling trees!

Haven't played a minion build since Delirium, will league start with yours now. Thanks again for the amazing work. =}

Hey Kay,

Can the pure spectres push up to The Feared invitations?

Do you still recommend Minion Instability considering the Low Life defensive and QOL nerfs both to minions (dying) and caster (having to stand still to summon more minions constantly)?

Thank you for your awesome guide! I was struggling to find a league starter for 3.14, then I found your minion league start build and its exactly what I was looking for.

Hello,
I am new to game and I wanted to ask some questions. Please dont necessarily take them as criticism, merely trying to understand or improve your build for myself.

What changes would you recommend for HC players?

What kind of CWDT link would you suggest for HC players if you think it is necessary?

Why dont we use Vaal Summon Skeletons?

Do we really need minion damage for Stone golem and Zombies? I feel they almost never focus or attack bosses or other targets most of the time because of Meat Shield.

When and how should we transite from Slave Drivers to Scouts after leveling?

I didnt use the gem but Predator doesnt look so necessary to me. If we are bossing, there is only 1 target to attack already for our spectres. What am I missing?

I didnt try SRS end game, I will give them a try but feels there must be better options for that 4link slot.


I really loved your channel and guide. Would be happy to see a HC guide from you, some general advices and tweaks to builds for HC.
