Are there any unique flasks that enhance this build?

Hey Smallville0608!

Not that I know of. I don't go looking for uniques. If a unique drops for me, I'll consider it for sure, but I don't go on the wiki searching for uniques. But I haven't come across any that have tempted me.

I have same question:
What is about uniques for that build? i know about baron helmet and the zombiemancer weapon.
are they fitting this build to improve?

Hey gangwars90!

I don't ever expect people to go browsing through pages of responses on a thread but don't be offended with the copy-and-paste answer here. I answered a question about uniques just a few posts up but didn't want you to miss it. Here it is.

I don't go looking for uniques. If a unique drops for me, I'll consider it for sure, but I don't go on the wiki searching for uniques. That being said, out of the uniques that I know of, none of them are real standouts. They'd have their equal pros and cons but they don't outweigh each other. They aren't real improvements, you know?

A personal favourite of mine that I always aimed for was United in Dream. It doesn't match this build at all...or at least you'd have to make some changes...but gosh it's sexy.

Honestly, based on the uniques I've seen, with this build, it'd likely be best min/maxed with awesome Rares. But that being said, nobody has fun min/maxing...it's always more fun to use what you want ;).

OK i have to take a break for a while.. i spend all my currency (as you can see i upgraded every slot, of course not BIS.. i didn't have that much)...

I don't have the last ascend. yet but i feel i am lacking damage AND have hard times staying alive. T14 map i get blasted out of my shoes from nearly everything lol

Bosses take quite some time.. A4 Baran (to finish the quest)... took all 6 portals and he still had around 40% life left :D

This is the first league were i am struggling as hell and i don't really know why ..

Hey Clayton1403!

Sorry to see you go. I wasn't able to get to your reply until now so I couldn't check your character out before you respec'd it.

I just posted an example video on my character in a couple of harsh T16's. I
know you've moved on now, but take a look and see if the gameplay is similar. If not, you know something was missing. But always keep in mind, a build isn't complete if it's not fully ascended.

Good luck with your spectres!

On the Golem link with CwDT, is there a gem max?

The CwDT and chosen Golem both get levelled to 20.

Any particular uniques you feel would be a big benefit to this build? I know when it comes to other minion builds that Triad Grip is a solid choice since you can scale it through elemental damage but that would require an entirely new tree.

I'm feeling a minion build and this seems like the most SSF friendly on the list.

Hey Messerschmitt!

I only play SSF and so as a result I only plan my guides around that as well. Hopefully you enjoy it if you go for it. I just posted a video showing what gameplay is like later on.

Am I right in thinking that dual-wielding Midnight Bargain on this build would be a...less than great idea?

It will give me two extra zombies, as well as a boost to minion damage and minion speed...but having two of them will reserve 60% of my life. Is it worth it? Do you think I can get away with it?

Hey Jaggedrain!

Ya it wouldn't work out very well. Midnight Bargain is more made for Energy Shield builds that repel Chaos well and have space to reserve life.

It doesn't hurt to go crazy though and play for a while with the most Zombies you can have, no matter how much you die. Scratch the itch! Have fun!

So far so good. In mid-yellows with no stress. Finally seeing my Zombies taking damage but I'm putting nodes into the Grave Intentions cluster next couple of levels which will make them even tankier.

I've used skeletons linked with splash and min. damage up until now - but I am now in the process of swapping that out for the third CWDT set up to be tankier myself.

One more trial and I have barrier as well, which will again make everything stay alive that much easier.

Landed on a daresso's courage early maps and have been rocking it since. I'm thinking between glancing blows and bone barrier my block chance is pretty capped out anyhow.

Should I just go for the heavy STR shields with the life implicit?

As much as I like your builds, I can't stress enough how game changing your item filter is for me. I've been using it for like the last 9 leagues. Thank you for continuing to update them.

Filter Lover aUbz705! YA!

I'm glad the build is falling together for you. I just posted a video of it to show people how it fares in gameplay. Once the build is filled out and ascended I hope you'll enjoy it more.

For me, in the guide specific filters, I have the 12% resist and the Max Life implicit shields showing for us. They are plentiful in regards to drops and really help out nicely. So ya, the max life shield is a good choice for sure.

Thanks for your kind words about both the build and the filter(s)!

Mind if I ask some feedback about the filters?
- What is it you like about the filters so much?
- Do you have any suggestions for the filters or things you wished it did?

Again, thanks for the kinds words. I've been working on filter upgrades (in my head) all week ;).

Hi, what's the best animate guardian loadouts for us and can i use united in dream with this build ?

I got a great set up now and my gear should be good for pushing red maps. Once I have another session I'll fix up my gloves and I'll be good for a bit. Jewellery is what I need to focus on updating next. I managed to get health on block, and with a build like this, it's incredible how much that gives you.

I like the filters because I don't play as much as I used to, say 5-6 years ago. So having ALL currency show up (even scrolls) is awesome. Having the currency in blue, is perfect. Having the big currency blue with a stroke, is even better. Then when better cards, or orbs, or anything ie exalt, shows up the even bigger and thicker contrast is great as well.

I first saw one of your builds a long, long time ago and installed your filter because I was tired of the PS4's default options (nvrsink). What I didn't like about it was as it got stricter, alts and transmutes would get phased out. Yours keeps EVERYTHING there, all the time, and it's clean, precise, and does a great job.

I've been playing PoE for years (I started with Anarchy and the introduction of Rogue Exiles). When I moved into my new place I had to sell my PC and bought a PS4 to play the game on and have stayed on there since. I know I can always rely on you to update those filters, like clock work, and never have to worry about it myself. It just makes my life easier. So thanks, man!

I don't always play your builds, but I'm always rocking your filters!

Best of luck this league! I'll keep you and other readers updated on how I'm progressing.
