So, my question is: with 50% less mana reserved and Blood Magic I wont spend HP for the aura cause 50% less mana reserved >>>> 38% mana cost ?

Not really sure I understand your question, you reserve 38% of your life pool doing that, which is about 3000 life for my build (1500 in your case).

And u think this is a good idea ? the minion's life leech will sustain me ? I dont have 1000 str yet, only 900 and im lv81, dont have Mortal Conviction either, im afraid to try this and fuck everything

No, why would you want to lose life instead of just using your mana for these auras?

I cant use both auras like you in the video at same time, my mana ends when i use the second aura .. i dont understand that so I realize "why not this shield and use HP ?". but then i had only 1k HP to use and 3k HP reserved, i didnt like it xD im newbie, sorry D:

The Enlighten gem linked to Haste is the crucial element you're missing here. If you don't have the budget for it (those are expensive when they're leveled up), you can use a Conquerer's Efficiency unique jewel in one of the jewel sockets. That's what I'm doing right now.

This is a very creative direction for Zombies. I especially like the EE idea with lightning damage on a ring to proc. I'll need to check and see if I have enough gear to swap into Geofris and still hit 1200 for the 7th zombie. I'm in SSF so my options are a bit limited but here's what I have so far:





I think I can tweak my rings to offer me more flat strength and I'm not using many of the dex/int --> str jewels since the +1 zombie on my chest let me hit 7 zombies with 1k str.

Thanks for the guide, excited to try these changes!

Edit:

I started messing around in POB and some of your minor changes almost doubled my DPS. I was currently at 95k slap/208k slam and then adding EE proc, spirit offering, and frenzy charges brought me to 171k slap/374k slam. This gives me a lot of flexibility with specing into more defenses for fights like Uber Atziri. For tougher encounters (Shaper/Uber Atziri/Elder) do the Frenzy specters die quickly?

They usually never die, they even survive Uber Atziri, the only fight where the super tanky animated guardian can die.

LMAO, I was about to ask about why specters were dying so quickly, and then I realized that I was using the same low level desecrate in my CWDT to summon them. Ofc they die quickly, they are level 40~. Using my max level desecrate gem I got super tanky chiefs. Using 1 of each for wonderful DPS boost. With this gear I can socket an abyssal jewel and still get 1200 STR, and I socketed a taunt gem to increase survivability. If I had a taunt+blind jewel that would be even better.

Noob Question:

Assuming long fight (Uber Elder) what is the better spectre set-up: Two carnage chieftain spectres or one carnage chieftain and one host chieftain?

Hey, I like your build and I'm planning to play it probably next league. So here is my question : with changes with next patches, do you think this build will be still viable and strong as it is right now in Incursion ? Or are we gonna lose something ?

Thanks by advance !

Very nice build. Curently trying it out but got one question about Elemental Equilibrium. If I'm using hatred aura and got lightning damange and fire damage on my ring, will it work or do I have to use only lightning damage on my ring ? I got very nice ring with high str + life and resists but it got both - fire and lightning dmg so I'm not sure if it will work ?
