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

Thanks for the fantastic build, Qlidascope!!!

I'm not even close to min/maxing my setup and it already feels very powerful. I now need to get my gems where they need to be and see if I can luck out on the head enchantment in Uber Lab (I cannot afford to buy one right now).

Thanks again for the awesome build and detailed guide!

Hey everyone! I've been playing a summoner and just found this guide. I've been running 5l aura and 4l cyclone which has worked really great for me so far. Clears t16 really fast and Sirus 7 down but I've been stuck at lvl 95 due to dying a touch too frequently.

I see that this build uses fortitude+infused channeling for some extra defense which I'm going to try out.

But I'm a bit confused about the impale + dread banner. Can I link dread banner+enhance4+generosity 21? Are there any breakpoints or just get as high quality as possible? I cannot afford the Baron with lab enchant yet!

Thanks!


If you're clearing everything perfectly fine but still die once in awhile maybe try a soul tether + shapers touch combo for crazy sustain


I'm running Geofri's + Shaper's touch and had 6k life 7.5k es and high chaos res but got one shot by nasty metamorhps or a huge pack of mobs with crit modifiers, too low damage mitigation.


I swapped around my auras and 6 linked cyclone as this guide recommends, and holy shit am I tanky now. I'm still using geofris/shaper with 6k life / 6k es but fortify+infused channeling.


And also dropping my blasphemy+vuln and getting Impale + Dread/generosity4/enhance21 really increased my single target dmgs by a ton!

Very interesting guide and this is the first time I have a end game char so I'm experimenting a lot :D
Can you guys checkout my build?
Items / Jewels / Skills / Acsendancies / Flasks / Gems / everything that i have / using

Let me know if i did a mistake or if there's something i should consider changing / upgrading / etc...
hey guys am I better off running pride with generosity or would flesh and stone + maim be more dps??

DB + Generosity is what I did in 3.8. The only change I’d make is using Awakened Generosity for 3.9. Enhance would make a nice addition to the aura effect, but I could never justify another gem slot. It’s a potent offensive combo, and gives a very nice accuracy debuff to enemies. A L5 Enhance would grant an additional 16% aura effect of DB.

I’d aim for 21/20 DB + 5/20 Awakened Generosity in a +1 to socketed gems gloves or boots. You can get 19% increased aura effect on the tree relatively easily.

To answer your question, the only real breakpoint would be 200% increased aura effect in order to grant 100% chance to impale.

Values
We get a level 23 DB from L21 gem + 20% quality on Awakened Generosity + glove/boot corruption. We get a level 24 Impale Support from L21 gem + crafted mace.

L23 DB
- 22% less accuracy
- 20% chance to impale
- 22% impale effect

L6/20 Awakened Generosity
- +1 level to supported gems
- 51% increased aura effect
- 40% increased aura AoE

120% Aura Effect
- 10% from DB gem quality
- 51% from AG gem
- 19% from tree
- 40% from helm enchant

24/20 Impale Support
- 17% more damage
- 40% chance to impale
- 65% increased impale effect
- -30% to Total Physical Damage Reduction for impale (cannot go below 0% reduction)
Math
Dread Banner Grants
= .22 * (1 + 1.20)
= .484
= 48% less accuracy aura
= 48% increased effect of impale

= .20 * (1 + 1.20)
= .44
= 44% chance to impale

Impale
- 84% chance to impale
- 113% increased effect of impale

Total More multiplier of Gem + DB
= Chance to Impale * Number of Impales * Damage Per Impale * More Multiplier
= .84 * 5 * .1(1 + 1.13) * 1.17
= 1.046682
= ~105% more damage

The above values would increase by a few points if factoring in Enhance, but they ignore any adverse effects armour may have. Using 20% quality from Awakened Brutality would bring the total reduced reduction to 40% which I expect would fully ignore any amount of armour; the 30% probably does all on it's own but I can't really test it, and I don't know the math values.

For those who don't want to read through the mess in the spoilers, I calculate Dread Banner + Awakened Generosity in +1 gloves or boots / Impale Support in crafted mace...
- Zombies deal 105% more damage
- Enemies have 48% less accuracy


Note: I have done little double checking, and I have a strong tendency to miscalculate something on my first run through.

Switch war banner to dread banner if you're using an impale support. Also you're using purity of elements, but not using an appropriate Watcher's Eye with chaos res and to me it seems that you have way too much resistances on your tree and jewels, which makes your tree a little bit suboptimal. You don't need bleed immunity on flasks, because bone armour gives that.

As for upgrades: try to get a crafted weapon and lvl 4 empower as soon as possible.
Hello, I am loving your build. However, I now struggle with t11 maps. Metamorphs
take forever to kill, and my minions just don't do a lot of damage especially against syndicates. What can I do to improve? I have a little more than an exalt right now, thanks!

You write in your Guide Best Weapon:

Listed from best to worst:
Wep1&2: 5L Femurs of the Saints
OR
Wep 1&2: Queens decree -> upgrades into queens escape with The misunderstood queen prophecy
OR
Wep 1&2: 5l Chober chaber -> upgrades into Chaber Cairn with exhumed faith
OR
Wep 1: Montegreul's grasp
Shield: Rare with Str, life & resists.

Why 5Link Femurs of the Saints? And which Gems inside?


All these are just good uniques until you get your GG weapon crafted, you can also find the links in the skill links section :D

You need more levels to your gems and character also. Switch empower to an impale support for now. Use offering: either self cast it or use cyclone-cwc setup as recommended in the guide. You can save 3 passives in the starting area, also your rare abyssal jewel just wasting 2 passive points. If you optimize the tree, you can get Ravenous Horde, which gives damage and clear speed. And only then you can start thinking about upgrades. You're missing a lot of required stuff, but I recommend to save a bit more and go for 6L Femurs first, as it gives the most damage per chaos invested. Then you can buy 2 efficient training, Astramentis or better amulet, better rolled baron, normal rings and belt - all to get 1000 strength as soon as possible.

Pride over flesh and stone with maim, however the flesh and stone is a strong second DPS aura for us. You also don't get any value from generosity on your pride :)
