I'm sorry if this is a question that was answered in your guide; I read through it a couple times and didn't see it.

Would you kindly explain the order in which to take ascendancy points?

BTW, my hubby and I love your guides. We ran your cyclone raider for the Metamorph league and we've never experienced end-game content at the level we were able to achieve. The hubby is also disabled, and finding your 1-button builds/guides are an absolute blessing. Thank you for all the work you put into them! We're both excited to give this build a try come Delirium.

It's under the "The Guts->Passive Tree->Ascendancy".

"No longer causes minions from supported skills to deal more damage while you have Feeding Frenzy."

(patch notes)

I suppose the skill gem description of "Feeding Frenzy" has to be updated in the guide. No more bonus damage :(

Thank you very much for updating your guides to the new version!

Hey Caligula_Exile!

So, Feeding Frenzy used to give minions More damage in two ways. The Feeding Frenzy Buff and the skill gem. As far as I understand it, the Feeding Frenzy Buff will still give "all of your minions have 10% more minion damage, 15% increased movement speed, 15% increased attack speed and 15% increased cast speed". So it's not a lot but it's still something. I hate how the default minions behave. So we'll see how this goes. Meat Shield is always an option too. Put Zombies in a 4 link and skeletons in the 6link.

And you're welcome! I enjoy the "guide" experience. You're great to have around :).

The best thing is Necro stuff should be in fire sale mode so that may actually compensate the nerfs! And I expect to see exploding skeletons a lot more in their weakened state! Might do this and try animate weapon in a hungry loop.
My feeding frenzy may just turn into melee phys damage... for research.

I think she will be fine :)
I can barely contain myself once again, super excited for league!
Even with losing a lot of res, I found myself at 140-150% last league anyways!

Thanks Wrecker and thanks GGG!

Hey GrunkleBob!

Ya, there's definitely lots to explore with the changes. As always, give us your updates ;).

You're welcome! It's nice to see you.

I'm going with this build once again. If something will not work, gonna change some skills and go from there. Should be fun. My goal for this league (if my hands stay healthy) - 36 challenges.

I learned a lot last season, so it will be much easier to build my character without experimenting too much ^^ I really hope people will find some cool new spectres to play with.

Too bad that spirit offering got axed. I think I'm gonna go with Flesh offering for better clearing speed, especially if feeding frenzy becomes obsolete.

Nice to have you back M_atrix!

Ya, the Spirit Offering was crushing for me. I loved that skill..and only for the life-ES. Oh well. Let us know where you take the build this go around.

I'm comfortable enough with the nerfs/adjustments to play this build in Delirium.

It'll be interesting to see if any of the minion-oriented cluster jewels turn out to be worthwhile, and if so, what to sacrifice in order to incorporate them.

Hey Katalaeia!

Welcome back. It's always hard to play a build a second time and not compare it to its previous state, but hopefully, it's still a good league for you. I'm really excited to see how often the jewels show up and how many of them are worth while.

The best part for Wrecker is the overall necro/minions nerfs will not be felt as keenly with this build

It will still be a stable build all the way through end game

Wanna say GL to all for the new league, this league I am gonna manly melee to begin with and may roll a necro about 1 month in as I know I am gonna miss my. Minions 😁

🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

Zombie on everyone!

Nice to see you 0nyX!

You know, I agree. Some minion stuff got hit REALLY hard. And in my opinion, this build barely got touched. It's a balance. I think it'll be good. They just want us minion folk to invest a little more in gear.

Good luck to you too! Thanks for the kind words!

Zombie on.

Hey Avaydriel!

Don't worry about it at all. I struggle to find the best way to organize my guides in a "non-cluttered" manner but also have things easy to find. I'm going to go to bed tonight with my phone and come up with the "best possible way to organize a guide that can never be beaten or ever need to change". Then I'll redo all 4 of my guides the same way. And I hope it's perfect then ;).

Here's what M_atrix pointed you to:

"You can spend your points in any order you like. My preference is as follows:
- 1st Two Points - Mindless Aggression. Increases Minion Damage, Movement Speed, and Attack/Cast Speed
- 2nd Two Points - Unnatural Strength. This increases the level of ALL of our minion skill gems; even their maximum level. Minion gems get stronger and stronger the higher their level. This is our strongest node.
- 3rd Two Points - Bone Barrier. This is a busy node. It gives us physical damage reduction, elemental resist, and increased life recovery rate per minion up. But most importantly, it gives our minions more life. It also gives us a free skill, Bone Armour. Free is nice. It can be manually cast after you assign it a button.
- 4th Two Points - Mistress of Sacrifice or Commander of Darkness. They are both "ok" nodes. Pick the one you prefer. (Note: Commander of Darkness will not impact you; only your allies. Curse auras don't count and Generosity Support makes Hatred not affect us at all.)"

Thank you for such a kind message! I'm really encouraged to hear it and I'm happy that they have helped. I'm really sorry that I had to disband the Raider guide. I really liked it (though it was too fast for me). Keep it alive if you can, the Raider is great for survivability.

Again, thanks for taking the time to let me know what you did. My guides probably wouldn't have lasted as long as they have without such great and open people posting on them. Please ask any questions you like and thanks again :).

Thank you for your great builds, which I love to play!
I prefer to play in German and that's why I have a suggestion for improvement for your guides:

1. I think it's great that you have provided each gem with a link to the wiki under "linked gems". So I can look in the wiki what the gem looks like and which one I have to buy / choose.

2. Unfortunately this is not the case with the "List of Gems in Order of Story Acquisition:" section. For me this means that I always have to have 2 browser tabs open: once the Gemmlinks and once the list. And always have to switch back and forth between the two.

Therefore my suggestion, also link the list.
This even has two advantages:
1. Switching back and forth is no longer necessary and 2. You can improve the clarity of the list, since you can have the links highlighted in color (according to gem color).

But no matter how you choose, I will continue to play your builds because these are the ones that have brought me the most so far (I'm unfortunately very slow and uncoordinated). :-)
Sorry for my bad english, translate with google. ;)

PS: I am very happy to play the new league with the slow mow witch!

I know I said I wanted to continue the Trigger Happy Build but I am SO itching to try out your zombies, Wrecker_of_Days. Since I haven't played it before, I will not have to compare it post nerf, but I am confident it will deliver a great experience in the new league!

So excited to start playing, but I have to be patient a little longer, since it starts at 10pm for me.

I know you said you didn't want to hold hands regarding leveling, but this build is very branched and I could do with a little hinting on where to go first, if you're comfortable with that.

Thanks LootMessi!

You are very kind! I'm glad you like the guides and I'm happy to have helped you enjoy the game :). Thank you very much for the encouragement!

That's a really good suggestion. I'll add it to my guides as soon as I'm done the integral stuff. Thank you!

You posted well! Thanks for the encouragement and the suggestion! Please post anytime you like :).
