I had no idea it gave that much ES! I was vastly underestimating their health. Thanks for the explanation.

True that! Zombies are at 56k life! So yes, 5600 ES!

Hey Thegateisdown!

Ya, it a cool node. Zombies have insanely large amounts of health compared to any other minion. It's awesome. So I can see why they made the changes they did recently. (I'd love to have a Minion Instability build where my zombies keeping exploding...but I can't figure out a way to design the build without using any specific items and just using one button...and still deal good damage...and survive...)

Ok, I seem to have hit a wall and I don't know where to go. Tier 10 maps are my max atm but I lose more exp than I gain. Can anyone give me some help? What should I do? I think you can see my passive tree right?

My items:

Made it down to delve 223 and found the 6-link recipe with the last of my sulfite!
Dwaine and I have weird goals, but goals none the less!
We will NEVER use it, but it was a goal to attain, like multi mod crafting.
Also got my tiny totem and got my 25, may actually hit 28 if I actually work at it!
At that Depth, Dwaine MUST stay in front of the cart, also anything that doesn't die in 2 hits should be left behind :) Ohh don't worry, they will all show up after the cart reaches it's destination! I had many 4 rare boss fights last night, they hit like trucks and take a while to die... but they all die ;)

Trying to get my power siphon girl in the game, she's a screen clearing mapper, but I skip a lot of bosses and Delirium because she has no DPS apparently and I can't use barrage very well. BUT she is good at getting those low tier map atlas completions for awakener so kinda makes it fun again! Just want to get her to 90 and call her a success, and maybe kill Izaro, he got me twice so far :(
I got her an Inpulsa's and she has profane bloom with Obliteration wand... Lot's of pack explosions! and with no bodies, she also asks wtf is a porcupine? LOL

Edited my post above... bumping so you see.

Looks amazing! Compared to a few weeks ago looks 10x stronger!
My one suggestion since you already have the ring, replace portal with raise specters. You WILL notice an immediate improvement! Carnage/Host apes found in Act 7 ashen fields, they really buff you and the rest of the minions!
My guy Dwaine uses a Kitava's herald as well since they are pure physical.
You can get those easy on cathedral rooftop.
Specters are cast and forget, they rarely die and respawn with you, even when you leave the game.

Good Job!

Hey Saraneth!

I didn't see anything odd with your gems or gear. But I see you modified the tree a bit. It's the hard choice between damage vs. health. On your tree, you only have 125% increased health. Normally life builds have around a minimum of 170% increased life. So I suggest aiming to gain around 50% more increased health in total on the tree. See if that helps.

Nice gear btw!

Hey GrunkleBob!

Awesome job! Good job in delve! Will you be able to use the 6-link recipe?

Wrecker:

I have 621 fusings, so I'll probably never use the recipe!
As usual, I bought the 6 link because A: I didn't have the recipe when I needed it and B: I would not have been able to afford the fusings!
The fusings are down in price now so If I do see a nice chest I may pick one up.
Especially a cheap single socket!

Hey Saraneth, since it is survivability and Wrecker has already suggested to add life, let's talk about how to do it.
1. Remove ARCANE WILL and the mana node below it, you shouldn't need mana.
2. Take Quick Recovery.
3. Remove the second jewel you have up top, that will free up 2 points.
4. You have three points after taking Quick Recovery, take the life/es nodes on the far right by Hex Master, it's called Written in Blood.
That gives you 18% life, 15% ES, 20 strength, .8% life regen and 20% max mana regen rate. I honestly have never run out of mana with this girl.
Then every point from here on out goes to the life wheel by the SCION. I know 5% doesn't feel like much, but they all add up!
If you want to keep redemption on the big minion wheel on the left that is fine, but dump the 2 4% increased minion attack and cast speed nodes next to it. put those in the scion wheel. That will get life up 28% to a more livable amount. Puts you at 153%. A couple more levels will get you back to 170%.
The biggest mistake made is sacrificing life for damage. These minions are OVER powered, really. Just work more on your dodging and they will do the killing... eventually! lol

Pro cheat for lousy casuals like myself.
Run blue T10 maps if you have to, the hardest part is getting to 90! It is a real wall, seriously 91 is easier than 90, believe it or not :) 90 is an achievement in the game and they don't hand out achievements easily!
Delve is safe to level 200, use it to level!
I fill sulfite and enter delve at about 85% to next level, works EVERY time!
I did it for 90,91,92,93,94,95 and 96 this league, it just works!
If you don't do a lot of delve, START doing a lot of delve. The rewards are awesome and it is a fun little side game to kill some time. Just get darkness resist capped and max light radius and flare light radius and go. low levels are easy to farm azurite and it adds up pretty quick.
Delve gets rippy after 200 so the fun does end, but it is fun while it lasts!

Good Luck!

EDIT: as I said before, I would swap portal for Raise Specter, you WILL be impressed! Also roll curse immunity on that mana flask, or something else that helps you survive :)

Thanks for the suggestions. I will give the specters a go. Just wondering if they are strong enough without any support gems to back them up?

As for the mana nodes I actually need them to be able to cast summon skeletons. Without them I don't have enough mana. Temporal Chains, Enfeeble and Flesh and Stone auras. With the mana nodes I am at 27 mana. Summon Skeletons needs 24. If I drop them I go below 24. Instant recovery though so can spam.

Another thing, on the right I honestly didn't see that I could drop those 2 minion attack speed nodes. Good idea lol. I have now taken quick recovery.

So I have fixed it up quite a bit. Now to go get specters and see how they work out. Why carnage apes? Is there a way to see the skills and stats of a specter? Sad to see my portal gem go but honestly portal scrolls are cheap I guess.

Edit: If you look at my chest weapon gloves and boots yo9u will see the modified build. Someone was talking about it a few pages back I gave it a go. It did help with my survivability quite a bit... but not enough.
