[3.21] Cold Conversion Summoner | Build guides for all budgets | (Ghazzy Zoomancer)
" Depends on what you need, if it's damage or defenses. What you mostly need is levels and looking into your skill tree alittle bit. You got alot of optimization to do there. 1 Suggestion I have is adding the cluster jewel "The Frontline". Costs like 3 chaos. Swap out your Watchers Eye for it and use the Numlock trick on Molten Shell to auto trigger it. It will make you insanely tanky. Next I would look into getting Freeze immunity and Chill immunity on boots. The +1 spectre levels is okay on boots, but to be honest, spectre dps is kinda lackluster this league so levels for spectres aren't a massive priority. Spectres scale very poorly with levels compared to other minions unfortunately. I would also look into getting a Ghastly Eye Jewel with 20% minion damage when you've cast a minion skill recently, minion taunt on attack and life. The biggest sources of damage upgrades you can get are from petty big ticket items. 1. 3Red-3Blue or 4blue-2red Skin of the Lords with EE This is the "cheapest" upgrade you can get. Problem is it's late in the league and availability of this specific chest is in the lower end. You will have to search for them on offline to see what's up and try to snipe one when it comes online. A 3blue-2red-1green could theoretically work and be an upgrade as it would allow you to swap Awakened Ele Focus for something like Awakened Melee Phys instead which would allow your golems and skellies to freeze again. 2. Hatred effect wand. This will be quite expensive, your wand is already really good. Basically it's just more minmaxy and would change the stun duration for Hatred effect instead. I paid 60 ex for mine. 3. 8-link helm or more. The options of these helms are pretty limited. If you want to grind it out, the mirror tier helm I'm using is the best option. But requires a mirror and 120 ex in mirror fee so it's super expensive. There's a decent 8-link helm out for 90 ex right now. Could be an option.
Spoiler
 In your skilltree you're missing wasting some points. You got 1 point in mana and reduced cost close to Sanctuary, 10 strength points under Tireless you can remove. You also got a point in Iron Will that's wasted. Use those 3 points and spend them into Redemption. You probably want to look into leveling 3 levels to get Fearsome Force for 60% minion AoE. Will help alot with clearspeed. |

" At the moment ive got : So whats better : Carrion Golem - Minion Dmg - Cold pene - Hypothermia - Melee physical - Multistrike or Carrion Golem - Hypothermia - Melee physical - Multistrike - Empower - Ele dmg ? Also gona try : Isnt it better if ive got 4 spectres without it? Thanx :> | |
" The second chest with 4 red would be the best if it wasn't for the Scourged mod. The scourge mod alone makes the chest unuseable. 18% reduced maximum life should under no circumstances ever be used. The sceptre is kinda weak. I honestly, would rather play with a Clayshaper personally. You should try going for a +2 wand with Trigger imo. |

Hello again
Need some help with those things: 1. Tried the NumLock trick, works perfectly but breaks every time I change the location. Resetting it, especially in cases like coming back to sim after death can be annoying. Does it suppose to work like this or I messed up something? 2. Is "Supported by Minion Life" actually a beneficial modifier on the helm or not since it decreases damage and minions except zombies never die even without it 3. This is my current shield. Wandering if I could improve it by crafting. Tried to lock the suffixes, remove crafted mod and slam Ahsling but didn't have anything good. Are there any other ways? 4. As for shield - is it possible to pick up a 3-mode shield (charges and any trash mod), craft up to 3 crafted mods and then craft both phys as chaos and chance to DD? 5. Is there any way to craft 8-link helm better then fossil spamming? Would really appreciate any help, I never got this far and never crafted anything before :) | |
" 1. Yes, you have to reset numlocking when you change mapzones. Slightly annoying but it becomes a habit after some time. What's more annoying is that Numlocking resets when you procc or apply your incubators. This, I have no idea why. 2. Minion Life is good on a helm if you Carrions or Zombies in it since those minions can die from time to time due to their low HP pool. But realisticlaly, either +1 Skele and Zombies or simply high life probably is better. 3. That shield is done, you won't get anything better. The 34% lightning res is holding your shield hostage. Crafting suffixes on that shield is purgatory. After you Awakened Slam the shield it needs to have 1 free suffix. This needs to appear either after the Awakened Orb or after anulling a third suffix. If you have a free suffix you're supposed to craft Suffixes cannot be change and Aisling Slam. It's a 50% chance to recieve a Veiled Suffix and after that a 30% chance to recieve Double Damage. That means on average(Assuming you fail all Awakened Slams for free suffix) There's a 1/3 chance to anull the correct mod, 1/2 chance to get the correct Aisling and 1/3 chance to get double damage. This means on average, you'll have ~5% chance to finish the suffixes of the shield. This isn't entirely true though because getting a veiled prefix doesn't brick the shield. You can scoure all prefixes and recraft suffixes cannot be changed to go again. But you get the point. So on average, you will have to try crafting the shield 20 times before hitting it. 4. Multimod is a suffix unfortunately, so we can't use multimod for the shield to make it a 4 mod shield. 5. 8 Mod Helm is very hard to craft. Atleast the 3% crit thingy is. Maybe it's easier to craft an 8-link with the 30% more elemental damage essence mod. Not sure, I have never tried. This could be done with Fossil crafting. It would still probably require over a 100 exalted orbs worth of fossils I think. |

Hello all,
first time writing in this forum. I played this build starting from the previous league and continued in this one. I play very few hours per day so i can't go very far. It is a very comprehensive guide and the build scales smoothly. I have a problem with the exposure from the EE. I just bought the Skin of the lords and although i have flat fire and lightning damage from ring only, it seems i can't proc EE (i can't see the effect on mobs). Is there any chance that the chest is bugged? And what can i do in this situation (except buying an new one...) Also, can you propose next updates? I sold a mageblood (really, really lucky drop!) recently and i try to buy a good helmet and wand but i can't find decent ones that deserve the cost right now... Thanks in advance |

" - You do have the wrong reroll on you ring, so you dont use your Elemental Equilibrium... :) Use fire and lightning but NOT to attacks. - Maybe use the Amulet everybody is using so you can have more aura's - You dont use Molten Shell so you feel squishy. - You use haste instead of Grace so you feel even more squishy Last edited by Und3rc0v3r303 on Dec 6, 2021, 12:46:10 PM

Hi, i made some of the changes some of you told me a few weeks ago, and others i read in the comments, and i like the results. I put aul's amulet, what allowed me to wear grace, and with 58-62 block i feel very tanky.
I need to buy the AW minion damage, and my wand is not so good yet (+2 with minion damage/speed are so expensive), and im trying to snipe a 3r-3b EE skin of the lords, but the last 3 days i havent seen any. What upgrades sould be the best in DPS, keeping the tankiness?. Now i have around 15ex to spend My POB: https://pastebin.com/RYq7agvh (My AG has kingmaker, additional curse and EW on hit, the mods are on the life flask) | |

So, I am kinda torn with what to do with the build. I have been doing nem3 with 3 so/primal. For this whole league I have been doing 3 so/primal, and seeing the new changes, I an kinda stuck in my ways. Should I buy awakened GMP for SO? Or should I switch over to high budget 4 claws/skellies? Here is the thing, skelly/primal seems like a deli build, and I am not sure it would benefit me on nem3? Maybe I am wrong, and switching over would make nem3 faster??? P.S. anything upgrades that I could buy atm? Got about 60 ex. Thanks in advance. This build was addicting. |
