[3.21] Cold Conversion Summoner | Build guides for all budgets | (Ghazzy Zoomancer)

Hey Dead, here some cool stuff this league
So does minion survivability eventually get better? I quit playing a few days ago because I got tired of my minions dying in white maps constantly.

I don't have the best gear, I'm saving div's for later. They're dying, even Golens dying a lot. Gems are 19/20 now, but I really don't know if they were 21/20 it would make any difference.
Thought I'd post this here. Followed this build as a template to start and have been doin alright bossing. Can afk elder, have done elder/shaper/maven/sirus/eater/exarch/uber elder.

POB: https://pastebin.com/rBx5zvNk

The pob isn't set up, it's just for anyone to compare builds with so don't pay attention to DPS unless you want to configure it.

I have 0 issues with minions dying. Skeles die a bit but they are my main skill that is casted so I don't care too much, and when they die they heal everyone else.

Been playing this build all league and am enjoying it. You definitely feel the minion nerfs in the beginning, before you've leveled up your gems. My golems and skellies are level 29, spectres & zombies level 26, and animated guardian is level 25. Doing juiced t16's and nothing has died yet except for 1 zombie occasionally. I'm too afraid of losing my AG to do Lake of Kalandra maps.

The hardest part for me was getting my resists right since so few pieces actually give you resists. Not to mention all of the extra minion stats we now need to get on our gear, our item budget is soooo small now. I don't know how the heck anyone will be able to fit a socketed ring or curse ring. If the "curse enemies on hit" corruption for the gloves works with our desecrate that might be where it can go.

Finding gear that is similar to the updated POB has been a chore this league. I'd really like to upgrade my chest from +2 to +4, but there are hardly any available. The one that is has 3b2g1r sockets. I don't know what I'd socket with that color configuration. Carrion (B), Skellies (B), awakened minion damage support (B), Divergent Hypothermia (G), not sure what to socket in the last Green and Red.

When it comes to the AG, won't my curse just override it's curse (even with the additional curse chest on it)? Or does that just not even matter since if it curses after we curse, the AG's curse won't override our curse.

Thank you for the guide. I've been using it for many leagues now. It's the most easily readable and thorough guide I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to you updating it.

I think it is a bit much to expect Dead to do more than he has done on the 1st page. I wouldnt expect a comprehensive update to the exceptionally good guide.

I think there are to many nerfs to take into consideration, lots of new items to consider to get the minion stats and any changes GGG make given feedback so far.

Of course we can get help and suggestions in the thread as always :)
The build still works, but it is so much tougher to get going. At the point I have come pretty far. No dice with the helmet though, ended up with a +2 minion levels. I have 4 spectres but have no idea which spectres I should have.

I can't seem to get the different buffs and debuffs for the spectres working in the full DPS so I am having a hard time judging what is best. Also I am thinking on adding a Ruins Hellion for defense while mapping.

Can anyone help?

I've been doing well, but I'm crafting my own stuffs like my ring and boots. I suggest you to do the same. I got luck on amulet and helmet after days looking for one that is, at least, useful. But put something in mind, i havent found any good equips for mionis on market, when i find something is for other minions builds. So, that's a good league to try crafting some good itens.

For boots get a life fracture T1 with suffix done. I paid 1 div for the base, then I finished in 3 attempts. I'll change eldrich and enchants later.

With my ring I did something similar, i bought a fracture curse on hit first then I spammed dex essence until t1 chaos ress or t1 all elemental res. After that finish with vailed chaos orb.

Regarding your question in the PoB it says 2 Primal Crushclaws 1 Pale Seraphim and 1 Carnage Chieftan for spectres

1. I think you need to change the craft on your ring to lightning/cold dmg so you proc EE.(Make sure its NOT the to attacks version as it will not work should just be straight damage)

2. Move Determination into your shield just don't link it with generocity so it also gets the efficiency bonus.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! Regarding EE I proc that through "Adds 13 to 21 Fire Damage to Spells" on the helmet.

Determination is unlinked :)
