I saw the gem links from the spider + Redemption sentry video, why do you use Damage on full life instead of Awakened Elemental damage with attacks gem?
could I swap from dmg on full life to ele dmg with attacks to do more bossing dmg? if I swapped would it be bad for my map clearing speed?

Ooh one more thing I meant to ask. I’ve ran many minion builds but only a couple have ran grave intentions, should I prioritise those 3 nodes over anything in particular, and if so which nodes, my lil necro is 94, I die so much because I’m clumsy so assume I won’t get 3 more levels to allocate. Haven’t allocated the grave intentions wheel at all yet.
Also trying out those blight gloves mentioned by someone, they’re pretty cool and fun.
Grave Intentions gives:
1. a nice DPS boost from Unholy Might.
2. extra ES for minion survivability. also helps to keep them at full health for renewal
3. If you use a Kingmaker AG, it will help keep the AG alive if you use Mask of the Stitched Demon.
You can skip it if the 3 things are not so important for you.
Brilliant, cheers, sorted my tree for it. I never thought of it to be used with renewal, I like it!
It's probably my least taken minion cluster since builds I usually follow don't often dip into it, so I was just unfamiliar with its power levels.
Currently my AG has Kingmaker, Leer mask, Ambu's charge, Southbound, victarios flight. Next upgrade is going to be the mask of the stitched demon with a blind + 10% of life as ES craft chest, I just never seem to land the sac chamber in Incursion & it's so much cheaper to just upgrade the mask than buy it. I mean I CAN buy the upgraded helm, but I like to save moolah where I can sometimes. Fingers crossed Alva is nice to me soon.
Thanks again! :3

i used rs,deathmark,minion dmg,lmp,pierce,ewd.
I'll keep deathmark in instead of pcoc then, it can be quite nice for betrayal or legion encounters anyway.
"
able to clear content like a8 sirus, cortex, uber elder without much problems after switching lmp with vicious proj.
Do you not switch out pierce for ele focus or something?
"
for your chest, i dont think u need to get a new one. just multimod it and craft 10%life as es and flat life/8% life and mana depending on which one scale better for u.
So you do reckon it's a chest worth multimodding?
"
oh and i took a quick look at your tree, u should get rid of arcane focus and use that 2 points for the scion life wheel. the 1 point of minion leech beside the sacrifice notable can probably also be removed. feasting fiends should be more than enough
Alright thanks so much for the tips!

nope since i find the dps is enough, too lazy to swap and sometimes bosses have annoying adds like uberelder portal phase etc.
"

if u have the currency to get a better one like the one kay has on display with offering mod then u should totally go for a new one since its bis
if not yea its definitely worth multimodding, the resists esp chaos res is pretty sweet to have.
100+res on your chest makes getting more life on your accessories easier.
10%life as es is crucial since we're running eb/mom. one hit could make u have 0es and unable to flame dash to safety
oh but before u craft life, check if 8% life or flat life adds more hp since i dont know how much hp u have.

The gloves are very interesting. How are they when you are mapping quickly?

Heyho Kay i use the BLIGHT gloves with ur s&s build too.
I <3 them ...
Here is my Opinion:
pro
+ 2nd anointment
+ big aura buffs at monster groups with some rare monster
(strongbox, shrines, legion, delve etc.)
+ the ultimate godmode aura
+ the insane 4k+ ES aura
+ auras are stackable
+ nice too have at endbosses where can spawn rare monsters
con
- the haste aura boost can be annoying
(specialy in dungeon maps or between delve entcouners)
- aura buffs are random
- no life gloves (-500 life)
- no extra minion damage
- no lab enchants? (my was replaced after the anointment)
My conclusion:
Nice 2 have necro gloves, but 4 the real hard endgame i think it would be better to have hight life gloves with extra minion damage, maybe..
Edit: FunFact >> it seems that unused blight pods can taunt monsters, because i saw monsters attack them after backtracking maps x'D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
My question to the gem links of Arakaali's Fang:
Currently i'm using Withering Touch Support insteed Melee Damage Support,
and i think its the better option vor s&s ?!? So i'm right?
p.s. big lovly thx kay 4 ur work and time 2 create this guide over years
What is your second annointment?
Also, I was curious about possibly replacing one of the support gems for Arakaali's Fang. I asked about using Dead Ailments a week ago, but no one responded. Hopefully, someone will respond to your post.

Curious about links for Flame Sentinel and Frost Sentinel? I have my ideas of course just trying to confirm.
Clearing is focus as I’m still early on and prefer to use Sentinels for clearing to the ones you listed. I’ll probably just use a Slave Driver for bosses when needed.
Also, what are the best changes I can look to make for SC passives? The beginner build seems to have a lot of emphasis on +life (completely logical for HC).
E: Great guide, thanks!
would like to help by taking a look but your character tab is set to private
Fixed that, sorry! Really new to all of this lmao.
For links (with clear as the focus) with Flame Sentinel I’m using:
Spectre -> Minion Damage -> Spell Echo -> Elemental Focus -> Pierce -> GMP
Unsure if I should use GMP or LMP and Elemental Focus or Concentrated Effect. My only goal for the moment is to spend as little as possible and be able to approach SC maps as efficiently as possible.

Frost Sentinels are better for clearing than Flame Sentinels cuz Hatred aura much better than Anger aura.
Mapping RS-Minion Damage-GMP-Controlled Destruction-Spell Echo-Feeding Frenzy so they start shooting before you see the enemies.
For bosses better change GMP to LMP.
For SDs RS-Minion Damage-Controlled Destruction-Elemental Focus-Spell Echo-Deathmark or Feeding Frenzy.
I'd say that SD outperform any other spectres mapping- and bossing-wise.

I did read. SD are fun, for sure, and I plan to use them when I need dedicated boss killing. The guide already covers links for SD, though, so I don’t need that. I’d prefer to use Sentinels for clear, and I’d prefer to use the Flame Sentinels unless the extra layer of defense from freeze/slow from Frost Sentinels are needed for early maps. Thanks.
I am curious about your Frost Sentinel links, though. Is pierce not needed for clear? I also have Feeding Frenzy linked to Golem. Any suggestions to replace that one?

death attunument on amulet and ravenous horde on gloves..
My profile is open if u wanna check my chars..
U can still replace gems, if u want trying 2 optimize. I'm not the fan 4 big testing, saw the wts gem using by another profile..
I don't think that Deadly Ailments Suppport would work well, because of the 10% less damage per hit, but just try it ;)

feeding frenzy makes your spectres more agressive and shoot enemies you don't even see atm.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IASUWY_ZYmg
at 10s you can see that spectres don't attack mobs, then i replace Deathmark with Feeding Frenzy.
Just try with and without.
On Pierce - don't really need until t10 maps or 100lvl delve.
Even without any unique gear you can use skitterbots and Hatred aura together.
This will boost your damage significantly.
