They destroyed zombie builds. The baron nerf was waaay too much. Without an outlandish investment you're stuck at 10 zombies, which is literally pathetic.


Huh?
- 7 from L25+
- 2 from passives
- 3 from 1500 strength
- 1 from amulet

That’s 13 before you get outlandish and 10-11 on a budget you should have by yellow maps. Then you can get +1 from Queens Escape. I’ll warrant the second zombie on an amulet and reaching 2000 strength as outrageous. You don’t even need a crafted weapon to hit zombie level 25.

I agree it was a bit much, but I think it was warranted. I absolutely hate that a level 26 is required for virtually any zombie build. The item was (and still is) stupid for its level...what level 26 can boast 500 strength, let alone 1000. In any case The Baron is ideal now but certainly not required.

Zombies simply aren’t a spend 10c on gear and kill Awakener build anymore.

Why are some of you not using atleast one feeding frenzy? Seems like a huge DPS loss
If you looked at my Profile, i had a bit bad luck on corrupting my zombie gems and for just mapping i dont feel to need the DPS boost, so i made room to level 1 extra zombie gem.

For certain bosses i have a feeding frenzy in my inventory to swap.

Definitely noticing a severe hit in zombie survivability.

Anything I can change up to make my zombies beefier?

Here is what I can suggest based on my deep delving experience in the previous league:
Get at least 20 quality on zombie gem (other gems also will be much better with quality, especially impale)
Use meat shield in the zombie link (the most beefy option, link feeding frenzy to golem to get the buff)
Get more gem levels (ideally 21/23 gem and +1 from Hunter's Amulet, not sure if it will be better than other options now)
Allocate Indomitable Army cluster on the tree if they are still dying
Use new cluster jewels (there are some notables/passives which make minions beefier)
Get more minion life from the tree (change minion damage to minion life near Death Attunement, pick extra leech/life regen near Sacrifice cluster or get leech on abyssal jewel. 0.2% leech near Death Attunement is not enough to cap their leech)
Use Elegant Hubris timeless jewel with 1 or 2 minion life notables

Without Spirit Offering we probably need something of the above now for juiced up T16+.


Changed to minion life and picked up Meat Shield. Went from losing zombies consistently to Uber elder and Sirus to not losing a single one in multiple kills now.

The play style is definitely not as smooth as with feeding frenzy, but the damage is still there for all content and the minions are as beefy as ever.
Guys, just started with this build and wonder how you dealing with phys reflect map mod? My zombies are dying after few hits

Hey, would You mind sharing Your POB? I'm curious to see what the stats look like in Your case, as I'm undergoing a swap from a slightly different version of zombiemancer now (Mistress in place of Commander, using spirit offering for chaos res + dmg, no brutality). Rolled a pretty decent saqawal (that 9% tho..) and I'm wondering what would be the aura to drop the setup. Most likely purity of elements?

I am playing with impale support and dread banner generosity level 21 23%

Is rotten claws (passive of the cluster - 20% chance to impale on hit) needed?
I feel like we are over 100% with that and it is too much
All content done guys, zombos are still fine:)

Now i need 1500 str and maybe push delve again:).

P.S. Cluster jewels are very very good for us, i recomend using it before legion jewel

What cluster jewel and notables are you using? I experimented with some and got only a 1% DPS increase per skillpoint and needed to put in 10 skillpoints. Got a better return on that elsewhere in the tree.
