[3.11]QUEEN OF NECROMANCY - STRONGEST ZOMBIES EVER? 55M+ DPS 7K+ LIFE MAX BLOCK 90% CHAOS RES

Updated PoE planner skilltree
Updated skill links section with new links & explanations
Removed the outdated weapon crafting guide until new mods are known

I'm wondering if Fearsome Force will still be worth grabbing. Right now it grants a considerably larger slam, but with the changes I'm not so sure. A lot of it will depend on where the increased AoE falls at L30. I'm assuming it starts at 0% and goes up 4% per level.


I'm thinking it is worth it.

I'm also curious why you choose Meat Shield over Minion Speed. Unless you are expecting minions to need the defense, Minion Speed offers 57% increased movement speed whereas Meat Shield only has 32%. There's also the dps difference. Additionally Brutality vs Melee Phys are coming very close if you factor in AG's Vulnerability. The biggest difference will be how the Awakened versions fair and how much armour affects the physical damage.

For anyone who cares...

Ahh... Is there a link for 3.8 skill tree or the whole guide? I'm building her on standard

Gems info is out! https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2687774

So, Added Chaos Awakened will give our Zombies another +1 lvl if used in chaos setup.

Void Manipulation Awakened will give 44% more Chaos Damage and 20 increased.

Awakened Melee Physical Damage Support comes with 4% more damage and free Intimidate. Insta-include for physical I would assume.

I just realized if we can still get +3 gem levels on Awakened supports...

Viable Awakened gems. Note, I'm only notating the differences between them and their 20/20 counterparts. A few have insignificant quality changes I ignored.

Awakened Brutality
- Enemies have -10% to total physical damage reduction
- 64% more damage (+5%)

Awakened Generosity
- +1 to level of supported auras
- 49% increased aura effect (+10%)

Awakened Melee Physical Damage
- 10% chance to Intimidate (=10% more damage)
- 54% more damage (+5%)

Awakened Multistrike
- Repeat 3 times (+1)
- 10% less attack damage (may or may not scale)
- 47% more attack speed (+3%)
- Average 30% more per swing (+8%)

Awakened Added Chaos Damage
- +1 to supported active skill gem
- 234-352 chaos damage (+64-97)

Awakened Cast While Channelling
- Triggered spells do 12% more damage
- Trigger every .30 seconds (-.05)

Awakened Curse on Hit
- 24% chance to apply to hexproof enemies
- supported skills can apply +1 curse
- does not reduce curse duration (20/20 does)

Awakened Minion Damage
- 54% more damage (+5%)

I'm going to have to go back to the drawing board and look at ACoH. Punishment got a sexy buff, so being able to curse 3 curses would make a big difference.

Some of the awakened gems are like moist, only thing that worries me is which combo is an actual gain with current situation, and how expensive they will get.

Expensive, yes. It’s best to plan the build without any and modify it when you can. The +1 sources will likely only be available at gem level 5, but that shouldn’t take too long if we can get +3 levels to them.

I’m looking at this in body armour and moving Cyclone to a 4L
Chaos Golem
- Feeding Frenzy
- Awakened Curse on Hit
- Vulnerability
- Punishment
- Maim

or

Vortex
- Awakened Curse on Hit
- Vulnerability
- Punishment
- Enfeeble
- ??? Not yet picked

Zombie links looking at

Raise Zombie
- Awakened Melee Phys
- Awakened Brutality
- Awakened Multistrike
- Empower
- Impale

I’d probably stick to Minion Damage/Speed prior to getting Awakened Brutality.

You allocating points for tri-curse?

Minions still can't curse on hit so what's triggering the curses?
Unless I'm missing something?
