Now im trying to get good weapon with trigger a socketed when used a skill, but its still dmg improvement.

Any helps, please.

1) Get level 21 Raise Specter which will allow you to raise a 3rd specter

2) Get quality on your flasks so that they last longer/do more

3) Replace the Overflowing Chalice. It does almost nothing for this build (it does not work with minions)

4) if you don't mind the grind, you are missing plenty of damage because you don't have any quality on your gems. Many of them will benefit from 20% quality. You can use the vendor recipe to turn a 20/0 gem into a 1/20 gem and then you just re-level it again.

1) Go to quay and get Ruins Hellion. He gives a Rallying Warcy that taunts enemies and causes 30% less damage to be inflicted.

5) Kingmaker is awesome. But make sure your AG is as tanky as possible because if he dies, he takes all his gear with him.

Get the best rolled Belly of the Beast you can afford. This will only protect your AG but that is all you care about for now.

How would a Profane Proxy work in this build as the right ring slot?

It would be a bad idea as regardless of which side you put the Profane Proxy on, you lose 18% more DPS. That ring is a cool idea but sadly, a very bad item for 99% of builds.

What can i improve from this?

I've been using it awhile now, I'm still in testing and farming stage though going back and forth with slot assignments skills and main links in AW.

Right now, Profane Proxy with Frostbite since the -40 ish cold res is an absolute killer compared to most other option by miles. I was trying to figure out a way to justify it on the right ring however there's no significant benefit of skitters base chill (even with bonechill support) except for a slight slowing of mobs, better to have the lower end shock for inc dmg. Plus I'm not a fan of casting curses or running them as auras, so this is ideal for me.

I can't wait to move beyond farming and get into endgame, but I still have the HC state of mind where I farm forever until I feel ready for yellow maps.

First off, thanks MoLoK13 for the build! I've played a lot of summoners but Animate Weapon is a first for me. Here's my Delirium witch:

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/ineffablebob/characters?characterName=ThatsSomeCrazy

She's done great up until about tier 13-ish maps. After that it's all right, but certainly she's feeling more squishy. Playing skeletons or zombies in past leagues, 5900 life has felt pretty good, but less so here. Part of that may be that enemies are targeting me more, with no skeletons and fewer zombies than I'm used to.

Another part of the squishy feeling is the new league, I'm sure. I still die on a regular basis in Delirium fog with no idea what happened. Maybe a death trigger? Something off screen? I'm still waiting on those improvements they promised to make it easier to see what's going on!

Anyway, if anyone has suggestions on improvements to what I linked above, it's appreciated!
