General tips:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ascendancy

1) Radiant Crusade - Big Chungus that protects you
2) Unwavering Crusade - ALL the elemental auras all of the time
3) Time of Need - 1s of MEGA healing every 4 seconds
4) Decietful Servant/Corruption's Embrace - Both are excellent for your Vaal Absolution fella, if you can get 4 corrupted items go for Corruption's Embrace since it's slightly better (DON'T GET 6 CORRUPTED ITEMS)
5) Augury of Penitence - Good damage and tankyness - get with Forbidden jewels





------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bandits

Help Alira - use to cap resists

Kill all - If you have enough resists take this


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pantheon

Lunaris - A lot of survivability and Chain projectile dodge



Ralakesh - Phys DoT Resistance




-----------------------------------------------------------
Gear

IMPORTANT: Need to have 1 white socket on weapon so you can swap Minion damage for Annihilation and vice-versa when mapping/bossing.
Weapon listed here is very expensive but it is very flexible, you can go with a Wand + Shield (needs some respeccing) or look below for a 3rd alternative.

Alternative Weapon

Very good because it's easy to craft by yourself.
Buy a bow with low dexterity requirement and make sure it has +1 socketed gems fracture, use essence of fear, remove the rest of the modifiers and multicraft, minion attack/cast speed and +2 socketed support gems.
Another upside is you get +5 passive skill points and a quiver.

Anointments:

BiS: Grave Intentions
Much needed Chaos res for all of your minions.
