LOL! It's that bums birthday today and we played til 3am and he didn't even tell me! But I should have known right?! Saw it on FB today.
I'll tell him to get on here, he actually bought a mega supporter pack and got a Tshirt and a hoodie, I am soooo jealous :)
He's coming around, but mostly just plays with me and does light research.
Oh he WILL go buy something in a hurry when he needs it, but plays it mostly low profile.

I failed in Simulacrum at 20, got some good loot. Took Omniphobia down easy and of course 20 was KOSIS. Died once in my synth park map and will do phoenix in a bit.

Phoenix got me once, as I said, F that guy :)
EDIT: works getting done kids, got a constrictor map, deathless! chose zana for it, got Enslaver!!!! again deathless :) seems my leech can out tank almost anything! Cept for phoenix being a spaz and exploding on me! F that guy lol!

I managed to kill Phoenix deathless a couple of times this league. Death-filled a whole lot more times, mind you. But it's the Minotaur that burns my britches. F lattens me every. damned. time! Haven't beaten him in months.

OHHHHHH SNAP! I love your ring enchant! Fire towers deal full damage to fire enemies! I only build fire towers! Thanks for that!

You took EE ya NOOB! :)- All good, more points to play with!
ROFL! Your just trying to make me play this AGAIN next league aren't you!
I like it. Zombies may miss Fortify. With Fortify and Meat shield, YOU should feel pretty safe:) She is definitely a zoomer, Dwaine hits 90% move speed and charged up with Fortify, she can get of danger fast and I think he uses meat shield!
I may have to get an unset ring for specters, I just can't live without them anymore! Or it might be time to say goodbye to Carrion.

I suck at POB or the damage has fallen off considerably :(
I can't get zombies over 40k, phantasms are about 40k and skeletons are 20k.
And that is if I have charges from specters.
Shaper numbers.
NOW lets go perfect world EVERYBODY hits, then zombies (10) are at about 440k, phantasms (20) at about 880k and skellies (10) are still having issues at 220k, Carrion is quickly becoming my least liked thing in this game, hits for about 10k and adds about 2-3k to his friends. He looks cool, but I don't really think he is doing anything. Read his PoB numbers, they don't lie. If I grab 3 ape specters I can get 60k damage total out of three of them and about 500k bonus in charges. and they have 79k life each.
So perfect world, about 1.5 million shaper DPS, reality should be a safe million. If minion life is sacrificed for Fortify, damage goes to 53k BUT life drops 18k to 36k, still enough to survive with the leech, capped resists, 75% chaos res and 62% phys mitigation. This would have to be tested in endgame, maybe when I get bored with my Jugg.

Metamorph numbers:
Zombie slam 91k (Concentrated Effect)
Skeletons 82k, (Multistrike) I know Skeletons got a huge nerf this league :(

PLEASE prove me wrong, I struggle with PoB so it could be a lot more than I am seeing. Don't get me wrong, 1 million shaper DPS spanks juiced T16s and most bosses! Looks like the emerging heroes of the build will be phantasms because of their numbers! Fast, easily summoned and very deadly! I played a necro on PS4 with srs, phantasms, animated guardian, skeletons, specters AND zombies! LOT'S OF BUTTONS! My old PS4 couldn't keep up...

Good luck Wrecker!
EDIT:I think you are on to something Wod, Dwaine just hit 94, fortify is shining!

Thanks GrunkleBob!

Ha ha. EE is just in there for easy comparisons to the other setups I was playing with that included Hatred. Keeping it in for a physical-only build doesn't do anything.

I don't like PoB as a main character builder. I use it as a quick way to share something. I prefer gameplay to character creation. That being said though, here's 3.10 vs 3.11's damage stats from PoB:

3.10:
Zombies: 20300*8
Skeletons: 20800*9
=350'000

3.10 with Summon Phantasm instead of Fortify:
Zombies: 14800*8
Phantasms: 15900*10
Skeletons: 20800*9
=465'000

3.11 Physical Only:
Zombies: 23500*8
Phantasms: 25200*10
Skeletons: 16900*9
=592'000

Of course I may be making an error somewhere. But if I'm not, it still hurts to get rid of chill. BUT by insisting on keeping a beefed-up Temporal Chains, AND greatly improving permanent defence with Enfeeble as an aura, AND by also having Fortify, Bone Offering, and Bone Armour (the Hatred build has Bone Armour), AND by adding the fact that zombies will now Taunt (with Meat Shield) keeping us even safer...I was ok getting rid of chill ;). Oh ya, AND the above damage is if Shock Nova HASN'T shocked the enemy.

Also, if you went with an offensive offering instead of a defensive offering, the damage goes way up.

Now I know that this is zombies in a 6 link. I'd have Brutality as the 6th link...and zombies will no longer have Fortify (cause Phantasms do projectile damage). So I'm still playing with my zombies in standard and trying to kill them in brutal maps to see what they can take. So far, so good.

I've also been playing with the idea of adding an Animated Guardian in the build, just for fun. But that'd be getting rid of either the Offering links or the Purifying Flame and Shock Nova links. Hmmmmmm.

Anyway, I appreciate you taking a look!

Ya...that Carrion...hmmmm....I always loved Stone Golem...but...I don't know.

Good job Dwaine!

Good stuff!
Yeah, I think the zombies will live just fine.
We lost one in a lv 82 abyssal city, but that is easily re-summoned.
I like the pure phys because then you can decide if the reflected physical will kill your minions. Also with a witch you can start the map and if your minions die fast you can port out. Plus it puts elemental reflect on the menu!
I think I am going to stick with tanks, I am having an amazing league, diving deeper into delirium than I ever thought possible. Doing double beyond 150 quant T16s that I thought were only for Gods! I just wish I could buy like 500k more dps!
But it sounds like you are making a tank, and I usually run 2 characters at least so good luck!

Ohhhhh snap, you're making a melee build! forget those golems... summon holy relic is BACK BABY!!! My Jugg loves it and I heal Dwaine's whole army!

The problem with Animated Guardian, is he is either 4ex or meh. I think you do a great job with starter builds and AG would just be too confusing for noobs.

EDIT: Got the double exalted drop on a juiced T16 Delirium! Then I went to google and learned how to do a screenshot :( windows key+print screen. Maybe I'll catch it next time. 6 portal on red elder, but got him :)

Hi WoD, I want to thank you for this guide and for all the time you spend in keeping it updated every league.

I have some questions for all:

1) I use spectres and at the moment I have two Chieftains, for Power and Frenzy charges, and one Mervail's Retainer, who casts Vulnerability.
Does this curse interfere with our auras? It's not clear to me if Temporal Chains is still a curse.
2) I use Raise spectre in a +3 unset ring, so I reached level 25 and the fourth spectre. Do you have any suggestions for the one to add? I'd prefer something defensive for me as minions don't die.
3) I've found this jewel:



Does the 45% increase damage for minions worth the loss of two points?

I appreciate your suggestions and advice. Nice job on the double exalt and your awesome build! I'm glad you're doing so well and having a great time!

Thanks again for posts :).

You're very welcome. That's a very thoughtful message. Thank you.

Good question. Curses are always curses no matter how you apply them. So Temporal Chains and Enfeeble are still curses. Curse limitations are based on character limits and are not additive. So if you and I were playing co-op and I was only allowed to apply one curse on enemies but you were allowed to apply two curses on an enemy, it doesn't add up up to three curses on an enemy. If we're both cursing the enemy, a maximum of two curses would be on the enemy but we'd keep overriding each other's curses. So in the case of your ally that curses, it'd be the same thing; your curse limit doesn't change because of your allies so you will be replacing each other's curses.

I honestly haven't played with Spectres for LEAGUES (AND GGG just added 350(?) new spectres recently). Hopefully someone from the community can give you a good suggestion. Though, any enemy with a Proximity shield those bubbles that don't let projectiles through is nice.)

3) I've found this jewel:

Does the 45% increase damage for minions worth the loss of two points?

The bonuses to minion are really good for the cost of two nodes. The problem is how much extra damage they will take. So wherever you're thinking of putting that jewel...I hope there are no Notables within the radius of that gem. It's a risky one for a build that doesn't want their minions to die. It's safer for minions that you're constantly recasting (like skeletons and Summon Raging Spirit.

Good questions and thanks for the thanks! Let us know if you have any more.
