Does the block chance from fortress covenant work for minions only or does it somehow transfer to us as well with Mistress of sacrifice and bone offering? With glancing blows it is the difference between 52% block and somewhere around 75%.
it only works for our minions, we mainly use it on the later tree cause of the solid minion % increase aswell as abit of block for the minions with no negative effect.

Hello, been following this build for awhile but I realize im having too many buttons to press anyone got any solution for this?
1) Summon skeleton
2) bone offering
3) convocation
4) movement skill
5) enduring cry
6) pots
was wondering if there's any way I can simplify it.
You can try some kind of arcanist brand setup if you prefer, however i did state in cons that it is a high apm build ^^

Got the build going pretty smoothly can do t16s easily but struggle massively in blight maps. I think the best way to do blight would be making the zombies aggressive to increase their attack range, which gem would be best to swap out for feeding frenzy support?
feeding frenzy should be swapped with minion damage for blights if you struggle, however blight maps does require abit of dps before they feel smooth.

can anyone tell me how zombiemancer is compared to spectre necro? i tried spectres this season and im not sure i like it.
It depends on which spectres you use. If you're running redemption sentries i'd say:
Sentries has better clear
less single target
Easier to gear
Caps out weaker
Zombies has abit worse clear, however it helps with skellies
Higher single target dps
Harder to gear
Caps out harder
Stronger defenses due to zombieleech
I beg to differ this league. I normally play spectres but this league I think im going to switch to zombies. After the SD nerf you have to sue RS or RK and spectres. You HAVE to have minimum 4 specters to switch to RS/RK or the clear sucks compared to SD. SD's get eaten alive now after all the nerfs in red maps.
The Issue is to get lvl 25 spectre gem with stats that don't suck this league is really expensive since everyone is playing spectres. You are looking at 1ex for the gem, 2-5 ex for the amulet, 5+ ex for the body armour, one+ ex for the boots. If you want to go the wand route a high damage minion wand WITH +1 minion or spell level + an empty slot for trigger is kinda pricey too.
Oh sure you can take your time and craft some of the stuff but you can immediately sell the crafts for $ so its not "free".
So to get a base level 4 spectres RS build up and running with resistances and block that isn't complete garbage with enough clear speed to rival a zombie build you are looking at 5-10 ex. Sure you can do it cheaper but either the resistances, or the damage is going to suck.
Add past that point with cluster jewels and it gets STUPID expensive.
I'd say Spectres this league, until they change the jewels is much more expensive. We will see what happens then.
thanks for the feedback, i haven't run RS myself, so i've had to rely on peoples responses so far. Your response is greatly appreciated :D

hello guys, just a quick question, for flesh and stone, are we using blood or sand ? is there any switch to do for bosses/clearing ?
thanks for your help
It's linked with maim. AFAIK that only does anything extra (14% damage to mained enemies) if you're in blood stance. If you don't have main linked you could run it either way. IF you're still leveling/gearing and feel squishy stand stances defensive buff might be more helpful.
i second this ^^

Why does this build say you can safely run your guardian starting at level 15 while the other one says not to do so until 19 to keep it from dying?
He should be just fine at level 15, unless you decide to start running him when you're already in T16 8 mod maps+

ok, i'm french and my english is poor, just to be sure i understand, you tell me that the biggest benefit of flesh and stone is the link with maim, and the choice betweenn blood or sand is not that important and we can use one or the other as we prefer ?
He said that if you're lacking defenses and don't have it linked to maim yet, you can run it in sand stance, however if you have linked it with maim you should always use it in blood stance, as the maim effects stack.

how viable would be going 2x 1 Hand Wands in place of Bow ?
+1 All minion
+1 All int gem
2x of those would Give Zombie +4x levels then +3 levels for Empower
+7 level Total.
+30% Attack block from Dual weild ?
Allows usage of Trigger socketed spell - Desecrate/Bone Offering/Curse
You can change to wands, however when i did the math in previous leagues i had less dps with them, and the gem links gets scuffed :(
Let me know how it goes if you decide to go that route!

hello
great guide
currently lvl 81 in 2 days.
I got a question.
should we activate bone offering or does it work like an aura if we take mistress of sacrifice
You want to cast it every 10-12 seconds, as it is a buff that is granted for 7+1-5 seconds depending on the corpses consumed ^^

I have a quick question though and I know it's been answered many times, but i cant find where anymore. Could you explain again for the purpose of the thread of hope jewel?
You put it in the socket on top of your starting position and pick Cruel Preparation and Ravenous Horde and save yourself 6-8 skill points you can use elsewhere/in Cluster Jewels. You need a medium range Thread of Hope for that.
i had one last question about the jewel. does it have to be just medium for the jewel to work or can it be large?
it depends on what you want to use it for, the endgame build has one on the templar jewel socket to pick up the aura cluster and save a point aswell as getting dicipline and trainig. (you want to use a large for that).
However you can also use as medium one in the north witch socket and pick up ravenous horde, heart and soul aswell as cruel preperation.
