Does the weapon type we use is important because I read that animate weapon take base damage from then weapon and add the bonus ?

The weapon you carry has no effect on AW.

The weapons you animate take on 2 forms

1) Lingering Blades - These are the blades that are left over after Bladefall completes. They are left in the ground and you can animate them

2) And/or you can choose to animate weapons that drop from killing bad guys

what should i be focusing on ? i kno my wep is crap but other then that not sure what else to upgrade build is runing so so t6 maps but my blades seem to die alot

Your characters appear to be set private, can't see them. Generally, life leech is the way to go for minion life sustain. If it's delirium, yeah they do just die a lot and have to be resummoned. My hope is that after eternal lab and +2 skills, weapons are more tanky.

can you see it now?

Yes. First, save one passive by getting the 30 dex node besides Tireless instead of the one in the top.

Do you have Feasting Fiends allocated from your cluster jewel? Because that would be your only source of leech. If not, allocate it or take the 0.6% leech node besides Sacrifice.

And for gear upgrades, the most obvious is a 6-link of course. If you are already in T6 maps you should have more than enough currency to get a corrupted 6-link in your colors.

Then the wand. Just buy a convoking wand for 1 alch and throw a few Essence of Fear at it until you get something good besides the essence mod. Or just use one, and leave it at that. Screaming Essence of fear is 1c and gives you 50-56% minion damage.

And crafted minion movement speed on rings and amulets helps a ton too.

All the gear upgrades are offensive, even though your problem was the AWs dying. But if the AWs move faster and deal more damage, in turn they kill faster and take less damage. And they leech more if they deal more damage.

But I gotta say, mad props for making it into T6 maps. With that low amount of life on your gear I would have died to Delirium every map and gotten frustrated :D So that is another obvious upgrade. You are missing life in many of the gear slots.

I breezed through acts 6-10 with out a single non delirium death. Build is running super smooth for me.

I just got my 3rd lab point and have just started maps.

5 Link AW, 4159 Life at level 72.

I just purchased my first cluster jewel with 3 notables that help me and a 4th that adds another jewel socket in case I want to chain. For only 3c? Why are these things so cheap? Not that I am complaining :)

OK, lets see how we do in early maps.

whats the cold iron point dagger for?

also anyone tried the curse skitterbot ring?

that dagger is not for this build.

That dagger is used in the Phy only version. It is a key component to that build.

Hello, I'm having a blast with this build. But I wonder how much dmg I can scale right now I'm focusing in defenses I have 75% Block Chance and 45% Spell Block with 5.3 health, I'm planning to tanke more health nodes. My AW feels inmortal except in Delirium I find in forums that you CAN'T leech from delirum mobs so AW die easily even with quite a lot of leech. Honestly I don't like this new mechanic.

Here is my pastebin: https://pastebin.com/PDFevbvQ
Any help or comments are welcome.

I have the filter and everything but it doesn't seem to let me animate weapons from the dropped items? I hover over the item just like pre 3.10 but I only seem to be able to animate weapons that come from bladefall/ethereal knives. Can anyone help me? Also I noticed a streamer "Ghazzy" is able to summon ranged animated weapons? How is that possible?

How do you guys trigger EE? hatred converts my bladefall damage into cold making me deal less damage

You should be using Generosity with Hatred so that it only effects the minions.

Then on one piece of gear you need to get added lighting damage to spells so that Bladefall can proc EE.
