Comparison of Highest DPS 3.14 Summoner Builds
I made a post asking about the summoner meta a few weeks ago because I didn't understand why so many people were playing syndicate operatives.
I play skeleton mages and I think it's underplayed for how good the skill can be with heavy currency investment. I've given up on building the final version of the build because its too expensive and the items are probably not available for trade in league. Here's the absolute min-maxed version of my skeleton mages build in PoB https://pastebin.com/ip0dAwGc Stone Golem 1 x 0.61M = 0.61M Animate Guardian 1 x 0.43M = 0.43M Raise Spectres 4 x 0.29M = 1.16M Zombies 10 x 0.42M = 4.2M Skeleton Mages 4 x 15.2M(Cold) 4 x 20.1M(Fire) 4 x 19.7M(Lightning) = 220M Vaal Skeleton Mages 2 x 7.9M(Cold) 3 x 10.5M(Fire) 3 x 10.3M(Lightning) = 78.2M Vaal Skeletons 11 x 2.2M = 24.2M Vaal Skeleton Archers 11 x 1.1M = 12.1M Total potential single-target DPS = 340.9M Total Estimated Gear Cost: 30+ Mirrors? If people are interested, I could make a build guide for my version of skeleton mages. I've been comparing the top 3.14 summoner builds I could find on poe.ninja and want to share my findings for anyone interested. It's extremely hard to compare summoner builds on poe.ninja because there is no displayed dps number so its very possible if there are much better builds out there. Here are summaries of the top summoner builds I found. If anyone knows of better summoner builds in 3.14, I would greatly appreciate it if you can share the PoB. In my opinion, it looks like carrion golems are still absolutely nuts compared to everything else because that dps number is constant and it has insane defenses. My skeleton mages build has high DPS numbers but it requires vaal charges and its definitely not as tanky as carrion golems. Skeleton mages probably has better mapping clear speed though. I am very surprised that the syndicate operatives numbers don't look that impressive in PoB. I think raise spectres syndicate operative is the most popular summoner build in 3.14. Does anyone know if PoB is not calculating the numbers correctly for cold conversion?

I'll be also back on the next league and will be refactoring my old minions build, so keep up the good work.
I'd especially welcome the discussion on how the meta and design for minions will shift for 3.15 can't wait! |
