Cold ANIMATE WEAPON Summoner | League-Start & Leveling Guide
|
Really nice guide !!!
I was checking poe.ninja yesterday and found this player: https://poe.ninja/challenge/builds/char/dinosgogao/Rec_____?i=1&search=skill%3DAnimate-Weapon He's playing the same version than us (forget about that red socket on that triad grip) and I think he has solved all the problems of the build about tankiness and survivability. What do you think about it ? Last edited by Nezöu on Mar 16, 2020, 5:57:09 AM

Hey, i've got to red maps and 16-20 watchestones, and my damage has really fallen off. I feel like i'm doing something wrong, other than not having EE what else could i do to improve it? https://pastebin.com/7PQMma5d

" Another person some pages back suggested the aspect as well, and I'm definitely trying that out. I see he's got an extra spectre on his amulet. Wonder what spectre setup he's using? It sure looks like an interesting setup he's got and I think the block parth, and aspect part is for sure a thing to consider for safer and smoother gameplay. |

" Since he's using blood magic linked to RS, I suppose he's using Carnage chieftains to generate Frenzy charges. But I'm not sure at all. Last edited by Nezöu on Mar 16, 2020, 8:18:33 AM

Hi Guys,
Yesterday I have equipped Soulwrest staff as I have found it on my private league. The DMG it provides is huge, it also gives you free phantasms and life Regen. What do you think of using this staff for this build? | |

@ novionz
I barely cast Bladefall except at the very start of a map, and then I hit the boss with it once. No spamming needed
@ Daesmondy
There's a section in Advanced on AG gearing, mine right now is a mostly defensive setup with Leer Cast, Ambu's, Sign of Sin Eater, Southbound, the Oak, and Victario's Flight. his main job is buffing move speed
@ Nezou
I like his build, seems smart. I'm trying something a bit different but obvi it works for him
@ gidz you're not following the guide in many ways:
1. link Generosity to Hatred (immediate 10% DPS increase) 2. running dread banner does nothing for you 3. Bone Offering is fine for defense but you're making a conscious decision to get less DPS by not having Flesh Offering 4. Where is Feeding Frenzy? 5. Where's Bonechill for Skitterbots? 6. Very big, lack of jewel sockets. A huge part of DPS comes from abyssal jewels 7. Tree is not as recommended Re-read the utility links and gearing sections @ Cielak: you can try to make soulwrest work if you like, I have no idea how it fits in as I haven't played with it before Last edited by ThanatoZGaming on Mar 16, 2020, 11:42:38 AM

When going deep with the cluster jewels, isn't the conversion really bad if we go Cold Iron Point and stack some "gain % physical as extra element" and Impale on top of it?
I'm leveling with full cold conversion right now and it is indeed awesome, also the gloves were dirt cheap and I hit the colors with the "bench trick" really fast. I might switch to pure phys with tons of added damage and impale later though. Any thoughts on that? P.S.: No offense to your guide, I actually knew nothing about animate weapon before it and everything helped me a lot. Also very well written with a good structure to follow easily! | |

so I just made it to act 6 and can buy all the gems now, do we have the list of our gem list finally yet?
| |
" The first post explains all the final gem links. Look for the section labeled *** Final Gem Links *** |
|
" People are having success with both versions. I think cold has some defensive advantages and DPS is not a problem on either side... But do feel free to experiment. (Gaining extra phys as an element isn't really a reason to prefer the impale build though. That small ele boost will not do much for DPS.) |
