If you don't take necromantic aegis, how does victarios charity work for your minions?	Posted by FunkyMacri on Sep 12, 2019, 2:17:40 PM Quote this Post
Hey, nice build. I was lucky enough to get a tabula early on. What spectre would you personally recommend? I am using flame sentrinals...like every league when I play summoner. What is your choice right now?	Posted by ChoChoTrain333 on Sep 12, 2019, 2:50:32 PM Quote this Post

Poison, chaos, degen all trigger for you as a kill even if you didn't make the kill. With cyclone and a channeled skill linked you can dish out the charges pretty fast. With Aegis it triggers for your minions everytime THEY Hit or THEY make a kill. Since minions kill everything FAST this is obviously the fastest way to generate charges. the downside is you lose the stats on the shield and have to take a ton of nodes that are useless to use to get there.

You don't need both. In your example, use Fire OR Cold, just one. Using both in the same hit simply gives monsters resistance to both, no benefit to you. @ IchiMorghulis: Full Post & Previous Conversaion " flyingcorpse wrote: I finally dropped my unending hunger jewel, its added to socket under witch start, but really i cant see any improvement.. cant see any additional buff either?

Thank You. To be more specific: "Raised Spectres have a 50% chance to gain Soul Eater for 30 seconds on Kill" At least 1 kill = Soul Eater buff. Once the Spectre has the Soul Eater buff, it no longer matters whether they score any more kills. Soul Eater is already working for the next 30 seconds, which absorbs souls from any nearby kills (~40-60 radius) regardless of what dealt the killing blow. This is why we really only ever need one Unending Hunger. @ aeri0r: Full Post " aeri0r wrote: At first, thanks for this really awesome Guide!

" 4 white socketed Triad Grip Withering Touch Support on Zombies would give up to 90% more damage on a boss, so that's nice. Aside from Despair and Occultist, it's hard to lower chaos resistance, so you'd want an Animated Guardian with items that do so (e.g. Crown of the Tyrant or fossil-crafted helm). It'll be hard to get, though. Vorici only does up to 3 white sockets. You'd have to rely on the Altar of Corruption in the Temple of Atzoatl to get 4 white sockets.
