Hi I love using these slave drivers, but I wish I had more info on the skill they use. It looks like some kind of lightning tendrils thing? I want to know if it's worth using projectile weakness as a secondary curse with the dual curse craft, and also whether the 'chain' support will work. They kill so fast I can't tell if it's working or not. I saw the part where I should use another mob's stats in PoB but it said 'shock nova' which the slave drivers clearly don't do...

Any help here?


lightning flame surge

So only aoe and spell tag will do anything (not projectile).

Several of the Watchers Eye bonuses you mentioned are from Clarity... was this intentional?


Yes!

It's possible to fit a level 1 clarity into the Pledge build! So clarity watcher's is an option.

Another Thing that came into my mind when using PoH:

I replaced the Vaal Haste gem for a high lvl Desecrate so you may manually cast it in advance or in between harder fights to help with bone offering and feast of flesh, which insta heals 2.000 life/es.

Manually cast is important as cwdt skills are activated one after another, so you would weaken the frequency of bone offering and steelskin.


wand -> PoH experience:
dmg is still insane, the loss of phase run...well, I'll get used to it.
Survivability is still to be tested, but seems at least equal.
Mapping is faster and more comfortable.


Yeah, I left off desecrate, but it's worth putting in. Especially if you can't afford a Haste Aul's - replace Haste with desecrate.

You might be happy to know that I've updated the Pledge build for more suvivability! It seems that it's possible to squeeze in Dread Banner (monster -21% accuracy) and Flesh and Stone (monster blind & -11% damage taken).

I followed this guide closely but after getting my final ascendancy points I or rather my spectres died to Atziri and since then they can't sustain themselves anymore. Usually they only lost their energy shield in fights at most, now they keep dying almost instantly and I don't understand why... Any help would be appreciated!


I would say that you haven't resummoned them at max level (83 or 84). Double check your tool tip for Desecrate and Raise Spectre. Desecrate must say 'create corpses up to level 100' and Raise Spectre must say 'raise spectres up to level 100'.

By the way, with Atziri, you have to be very careful with the mirror clone. Make sure you cast storm brand any place other than on top of it.


Thank you, I will try re-summoning them properly and testing again.
I also wondered how to use both Auras and the banner? Even with the reductions from the skill tree I don't have the ability to cast Wrath, Zealotry and Dread Banner^^


Edit: you say Storm Brand, I thought it should be switched for Armaggedon brand?

Hi,
Any chance can someone help me?

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/mtilhan/characters
SummonBabySummonMe is my character atm.

I am trying to use Flame Sentinels (I am at arc 4), but they keep dying at arc 4 boss before even boss health drops to %80. I try to desecrate and resurrect them but it takes awfully long in which time boss generally kills me.

Is this normal for summon builds? I mean this is my first time playing a summoner and it is starting to get extremely frustrating.

Sorry, I meant Arma brand!

We used Storm Brand for last league (different spectre).

Try switching to Fire-Eaters from Act 1 the ledge. They do a lot more DPS than Flame Sentinels.

Also, remember to resummon your spectres before the boss fight so that their level is the same as the boss.

I just remembered that Diadem's feast of flesh can keep the phantasms up. So Phantasms+EV could actually work! 21 phantasms & 4 EVs. Should have good map clear and boss kill. Don't even need to weapon swap.


Yeap, tried it, it definitely works

But monolith clear is way worst that skeles

The fact that skeles don't follow you is better in that aspect and just more of them



Might be something to look into for next league then as long as we don't have another time trial mechanic.

They look 'fast'. Not bad.

By the way, I had a look through the ggpk and they have a 6s cooldown on leapslam.

I've updated the Pledge of Hands build.

Reworked the gems and linking to boost survivability. Passive Tree is unchanged.

I managed to fit in Dread Banner and Flesh and Stone for '-21% accurance for nearby enemies', 'blind nearby enemies', 'take 11% less damage from enemies'. This has given a big boost to survivability. Had to give up Discipline though (which was about 500es).

Also changed Controlled Destruction for Faster Casting (Uberelite's suggestion). Surprisingly the DPS is about the same 1.09M vs 1.04M.

I've also updated the chest to be 6 socket/4-link. That's all you need for the build.

Lastly, if you cannot afford a Aul's Uprising for Haste, just get a high life amulet with good stats/res.

I prefer Infernal Sentinel. 180% damage 270% health. Better for early stages of leveling, more health die less often.
