If we're using the SSF/Starter build but with SO what do we change? The starter build gems is focused on using FAS. Need to know what gems to remove, add or rearrange. Do we switch to the triad gloves? I know in the video it shows the gem, links and items but I can't afford the diadem now since im still in acts. Please tell me where exactly to put all of the gems and what gems to use for SO Starter build.

You have a couple of options here.

The first is to get a pair of Triad Grip gloves with 4 green sockets, thus converting your operatives over to cold damage. At that point you simply replace Spell Echo with Vicious Projectiles, and keep the rest of the build the same.

The second is to focus on Physical damage, which drops Elemental Equilibrium and needs the following gem setup:
Raise Spectre + Predator + Impale + Brutality + Vicious Projectiles + Minion Damage - this gives the highest dps "on paper", but fitting Volley in there somewhere might actually give more single-target DPS due to shotgunning.

I personally prefer the second setup, with Volley in the place of Predator, since it's fewer buttons to push. YMMV.

For the first option also, just remove the starter build gems (zombies+stone golem) in the glove and replace them with the 4 green gems that SO build uses?

Well, after the failed venture that is ground slam berserker (not because the build is bad, but there are too many buttons to constantly spam in right order), I am planning to begin new with another build.

Currently thinking of Kay's summoner build, but I wasn't wondering what your impressions are in this league. Is that a good build against ultimatum trials? Would I be able to do all endgame content with a summoner build? My biggest fear is thatthe spectres will be killed during the encounter after the heavy nerfs they got.

In short, am I safe with a Necromancer build or is there a better alternative for leaguestarting "again"?

Any input from someone who has gotten to maps and got to experience the league mechanics there?

How am I actually supposed to play the minion army build?

There is soooo many active skills (Storm brand, Bone offering, RS, Signal Prey, Flame Dash, Vaal Skeleton, Summon Skeleton (Do we even use that?), Bone armour, Convocation + Flasks) that I'm not sure how to utilize them properly and can't even fit them all to the normal skill bars. I just end up spamming most of the buttons and then fill with RS.

Is there a prefered way to use the skill? Which one is the most important/gives the most damage when mapping? Just pop Storm brand on groups and move on or what? Could I swap Predator to something else so I would have one less skill to worry about?
