Thanks @jlh165!

You dont list Flesh & Stone as an aura. Did you just miss it or is f&s not good enough?

Flesh & Stone is a very poor choice, only worth mentioning because it is still part of the original build. In blood stance, the increased damage from Maim only stacks if Maim is linked to the aura, so with a L18+ Maim Support crafted onto your mace, it only provides 2% increased damage, and it’s range is so pitiful, you have to be in melee range for any benefit. Sand stance will provide 11% less damage from not-nearby attacks and blind nearby attacks. It’s easy enough to blind enemies, so you only end up with minimal mitigation against ranged attacks, and it does noting against spells.

What is the easy way to blind enemies ? I use F&S and it's super helpful. I just leap into packs and they don't even know I'm there. I have blind on hit on the zombies but that doesn't help when you leap into packs. F&S does!

Thanks @jlh165!

I really think I will switch to haste, war banner and a third aura.

Which would you recommend for phys. only? Aspect avian or skitterbots (chill)

Pride range is to low and I don't feel like I need more damage
Also will add phase run

Jewels are my recommendation, which you have, but I’m not sure how much reduced light radius on nearby enemies affects aggro. It will still provide them with 50% less accuracy. Your call on that one. It’s by no means worthless; I just don’t consider it worth 25% reservation in comparison to other buffs.

Skitterbots by far. 11-12% less action speed is huge. Action speed affects movement, attack, and cast speed. You also get 23-24% increased damage taken rebuff in enemies via shock. If you have Saqawal’s, Avian becomes much more viable. There’s no reason to not be able to fit an Aspect and banner as well as 35% and 50% auras into the build though. You may need additional less mana reserved nodes from the tree or an enlightened gem though.

How do you have 18 zombies? I cap out at 14

I sure there was questions like this but i couldnt find one so:
What about converting physical to fire damage with gloves instead of chaos damage? I cant afford them=)

Blind should make enemies on the edge of the F&S AoE not see you. But even if that doesn't happen, 50% less accuracy and reduced effective critical strike chance are HUGE. It's a great defensive boost and well worth the 25% mana it reserves.

You also have Pride in the list of auras. That is 200% useless for minion builds. It's radius is 10! Just use it and see how small that is. It's great for melee builds that hug bosses. Utterly useless for us. The OP added it just to boost his PoB DPS along with other things that don't work such are dual curse and dual maim.

- L30 Zombies = 9
- 1800 strength = 6
- Passive Tree = 2
- Crafted Amulet = 1
That’s the theory at least...not very feasible. The real answer is Qlida had 18 Zombies at the end of last league with 1800 strength and +2 Zombie amulet. Most people are capping out at the 1500 strength benchmark.

So my amulet won't let me add resists based on what was from the guide, I tried crafting my own amulet. What am I missing? What else do you recommend I add onto this amulet?

Anyone? How can I make this amulet better? Did I mess up?
