Kay's Summoner Memorial Page | New Guide is linked inside!

So i'm new to the game, and this build has been a lot of fun when i figured out the specters. However, i'm finding that the gear listed is vastly more expensive than quoted in the OP for each item, is that simply because people have price-fixed the items from popular builds/from natural fluctuations, or am i missing something here?

For example, the Vis Mortis and Helmet combo for under 10c is impossible from my searches, it's vastly more than that for those items. I'd love it if i was just searching wrong, but i fear the items may just be more expensive than when this guide was written, meaning i hav ea lot of farming to do.

Hi Kayella,

I have a quick question.
What is your thought about equipping The Devouring Diadem + taking Acrobatic skill node?

Basically, I took MoM + EB from the diadem but not sure if it is worth to take Acrobatic because it literally takes off approximately 500 ES. Do you think 30% dodge is better than 500 ES?

The build is pretty cheap overall. I was easily rolling around doing t15/16s and shaper/elder with only 1ex invested. I have dropped a few more ex now on it and wanna try out uber elder/shaper next.

A 4s Vis Mortis is only 1c and its more than enough to get you started.

Grab a helmet from below. Could cost anywhere from 1c to a few ex depending on how good the helm is. Grab the one that suits you best and setup live search if you cant find one in your price range. Cheapest at this time is 10c.

You then have a 6l spectre and you can drop your helmet links to vis mortis. This easily works until you can afford the full 6l Vis Mortis. I did this just last week when I did the build. While prices may be a little more it is pretty close to the estimated amount that I see in there now.

You can search for any helmet with the two supports, ie helmet with level 16 support instead of 20. These go for 1-2c.

If you want to limit your search to level 20 supports. You're looking at 40c minimum. Prices go up from there.

The difference between a level 16 and level 20 support is 4%. So the combined difference is 8%. So when you've just reached maps, I recommend buying the 16/16 helmet for 1c and using the rest of your money for other equipment.


Basic Vis Mortis is 1c:

The spectres themselves are very powerful and a 6-link set up , even with level 16 supports will be good.

Here's an UE kill using just 4-link spectres: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwajrXGoU9g

Hey,

yesterday i found another Victario and corrupted it for fun.
"Reduced Damage from Projectiles" seems to be pretty useful, where i was asking myself, are there maybe other recommended implicits? Or is it useless because or Necromantic Aegis?

hey i did try summoning the spectre's from act 5 then went to my highest map with lvl 80 monster and take off the raise spectre gem and put it back on and i checked desecrate nothing changed (doesn't show i can create lvl 100 corpse).
in this case what should i do?

You need 2 desecrates. One at lvl 1 (Which is on trigger wand) and another on offhand that is high enough to raise lvl 100's. When you head to lvl 80 map remove spectre gem and put it back in and remove echo so you don't double cast. Afterwards you can then swap to offhand and desecrate looking for Slave Drivers. Once all 4 are up swap back to primary weapon set and put your echo back in (don't forget this step or you loose a lot of damage).

okay it works i can create corpse up to lvl 100 now thx so much
so then now i put the high level desecrate back on my trigger wand? or leave it on the offhand weapon?

Acrobatics is really good against many small hits, I think it's more useful for mapping and delving and especially when you're starting out your necro and have low eHP.

When you've progressed to endgame bossing, it's possible to stack eHP which is where Diadem comes in with EB+MoM. You can start to get hybrid gear (life + es) and get some very large values for total eHP. This will help with being able to tank single big hits.

So overall, I don't think you should take acro if you're going to go with Diadem.

Finally got the chance to re-do my gear...

According to POB, my Slave Drivers deal 1.2 mill Shaper dps each. (1.59 if I run Puppet Master & Flesh Offering)

I am currently sitting at 5806 HP & 3280 ES; with Bone Offering & flasks active, my block chance goes up to 63% (26% spell block). Not bad at all :^)

Sorry if i missed this in the thread, but how much more DPS is the pledge vs shield wand build?

I'm looking to use this for doing emblem runs.

It's actually less DPS.

The main benefit is the in-built increased AOE from Pledge: "50% increased Area of Effect per Repeat". Spell Echo stacks with Greater Spell Echo so you get 4 repeats. I also recommend Inc AOE Support as well. The spell looks like it covers the entire screen.

Thank you for your answer.

Yes you are right. I actually refunded Phase-acro and acrobatic and other minor nodes on the path (total 5 skill points) and contributed those 5 points on life and ES and it boosted around 800ehp(prob 200 life and 600 es).

I found it is A LOT better than Acrobatic. I realized I did not even get hit by mobs my minions kinda take hit instead of me. Even if I get hit, flasks and feast of flesh keep me at the full life.

Always appreciate your effort on making the decent builds and replying posts!
