I have done delve 300. You can pretty much just tank everything so far and I rarely drop from ES to HP pool.

Empower is basically only there to make your zombies survive the endgame.
You should go Zombies, Minion Damage, Phys Damage, Minion Speed and Maim in a 5-link without Empower.

15 zombie setup with Queen's Escape is superior for mapping than any other type of zombie setup due to serious lack of movement speed. With delve crafting you can actually add up movement speed on your amulet and rings( not sure about rings) and go with double stick minion damage boost. Due to GGG's inability to invest in some decent AI only counter to Immense stupidity of your summons can be adding range minions and/or movement speed. More minion movement speed you have, smoother the experience is. Zombies effectively one shot ( with multi) t15 trash and swarm rares down in less then second.

Guiardians are so inconsistant with zombie build that i don't really want to talk about it.. specially add phase on Guardian of the Chimera... You will get wiped by those adds due to your 7 moronic zombies not being able to burst them down due to lack of focus and range of auto follow they have. ( basically you can't get far enough from goats without zombies stop dpsing and following you like retards they are)

Mon'tregul's Grasp is only to be used on Uber's, Shaper, guardians only due to hp boost but if we somehow counter that i would say due to bad AI on some guardians its better to go with 15 zombie setup.

All in all i love necromancer and all type of summoner builds but Path of exile is still indi game that has much to work on in terms of minion AI... Its below average by any reasonable standard.


I would strongly suggest you ditch the necromancer in general if you are fun of consistency and leveling to 100 care free. Instead try dominating blow/dancing duo/facebraker GUARDIAN setup... faster pace.. faster clear.

No matter how many hours GGG spends on improving quality of life and game balancing, they are somehow always behind. THis game is in dire need of redesign. Hope that they have plans for Poe 2 in near future cause you can't build solid foundations on quick sand.

Have you looked at the possibility of using Soulwrest in this build?

The idea of adding 20 Phantasms to the build feels like just too much fun to pass up.
I just scored a 6slot 5L one to play with.

Do Haste/Enlighten and Hatred/Generosity need to be split in separate links? If so, is there any trick for getting the links like that?

We lose a lot by using it.
Defenses from a shield, shield charge, fortify and a whole lot of gem slots since you probably want a way to summon the phantasms.
This makes the build way weaker in my opinion.

They need to be split because of "Commander of Darkness", you need at least one aura to affect yourself to get the 20% all res from it.
You can either go Haste/Enlighten, Hatred/Generosity
or Hatred/Generosity/Enlighten, Haste
Not sure why you would need some kinda trick for that, just use some jewellers until you get it.

Not as a final gear, but as a leveling one, you can buy a tabula rasa with "+1 to level of socketed gems" and use an empower 3.
So, ALL of your gems becomes 1 level above. The empower 3 becomes empower 4. And ONLY the SKILL gem gets 4 levels above (one more than empower 4), because it gets 3 levels from empower 3 (that became empower 4), plus +1 from tabula rasa, so, 4 levels above...
So, you have 6 links, with all gems one level above and skill gem with 4 levels above...
