Mistress of the horde, a zombis/skeletons build.

"The horde" ? Why -> 34 active minons + Vaal army every minute.

Here's a build based on The Baron, that nifty helmet that gives more zombies, boosts the physical attacks of all my melee minions and makes them drain life for me.

Gameplay: not for everyone: most of the time, it consists of moving around to avoid hits. The minions take care of killing everything in the vicinity. There are really only three things to do to be active:
1: Place a Totem of SRS.
2: Release the Vaal army.
3: Recreate lost skeletons.

Pro :
- Zombies (lvl 32) do 1.3M damage, there are 16 of them.
- Skeletons (lvl 30) do 1M damage, there are 11 of them.
- Vulnerability and Flesh Offering autocasted every time you place the Totem or move with Lightning warp (or create a Skeleton or Vaal skeletons)
- Vaal army every minute.
- Immune to Stun. Immune to damage reflection.
- Immune to projectiles with chain → when a map has this mod, it means "projectile immunity".
- Not affected by damage reduction, block chance reduction, avoid reduction, and so on ....

Con :
- No shield to block, no armor, no energy shield, no dodge. To avoid hits: move, move, move.
- This build uses legacy objects, so is not as powerful in league.
- It's not practical to use Portal, which is in a secondary weapon: I put the Carrion golem on the 5th ability (T key), and Portal when I switched my weapons also on the 5th ability (T key). to use Portal :
X to switch
T to launch Portal
X to switch
T to recreate the Carrion Golem.

Defense:
- Minions drain 3% of their damage into life for me.
- 2 Stone golems have a taunting rolling charge.
- All minions have 16% chance to taunt on hit.
- Zombies have 21% chance to taunt on hit.


In detail:
- SRS do insignificant damage but trigger Feeding Frenzy and Maim.
- Spectres are there to be tanks: 130K life (900K damage with Perfect Runic Skeletons that benefit from the Baron's strength boost).
- Minions recover 9% of their life when a minion dies: that is, very often with a totem with SRS of Enormity, which are limited to 6 and therefore auto-replaced by the totem very quickly, and therefore counted as dead very quickly.
- For fast movement, we have Lightning Warp + Less Duration, with incantation speed boosted by Onslaught supplied by a Perfect Forest Warrior Spectre.
- The Soul Catcher flask (Legacy) launches the Vaal army with only 75% of the souls required. And when the army is reusable, 25% of souls remain in reserve, so there are only 50% of souls to collect to relaunch the army → The army requires only 50% of souls to collect to be relaunched.
