wow Redemption Knight is very op with EB and MOM, i am impressed. I recomend use storn brand for EE and trigger frenzy charge for minion, with victarios charity. RK destroy all, i am using 5 spectre and think for survive, chance mistress of sacrifice for bone barrier, recovery rate for life is very op ( use zomb for 20%). Too use phasing while affected for haste. TY kay

Can I ask what content you are able to play through?

End game, simulacrum, high maps?

And how are you getting life recovery from zombies with your build?

Our skill trees are somewhat similar and I'd prefer not to get into the expense and headache of cluster jewels unless I'm completely forced to.

-----------

I've read the past 20 pages and I'm more confused than ever.


I can do most t15/t16 maps with just 3 slave drivers, only problems are Baran the Crusader, a few rare map bosses, some t15/16 bosses, ranged mobs in necropolis map...these 'problems' wipe out every minion in a couple seconds--not just slave drivers but my animate guardian (sucks dropping 40c to rebuild him) and zombies.

But it seems a lot of people are dying with the OP cluster jewel setups, too. Or there's a lot of gem swapping and variation depending on content.

I need to make a decision because I'm currently stuck with my current build being unable to defeat Baran a 3rd time.

Your profile is private, so there's nothing much we can do here. But if your minions die that quick, there's something wrong with your build. My spectres are the last one to die ( actually they cannot die ), even my AG with kingmaker+blind armor dies faster than my spectre, but it takes like crazy dmg to kill it.

They die, specifically, in those instances I mentioned. Death and Taxes last room boss is an almost instakill for my kiddos. Necropolis ranged mobs that shoot the glowing square projectiles kill my spectres as they're entering a doorway. The boss of acid caverns, Morgants, wiped out my entire entourage almost instantly. The wolf boss of Cair Blaidd wrecked my whole pack, and Baran also kills everything before I can take him down with all 6 portals.

Oh, and even Esh, who has really simple mechanics to avoid, burned everyone away. All these are with me dodging most attacks and surviving fine while using convocation to get my minions away from the real heavy stuff. Still they can't regenerate fast enough.

I've changed my settings, I had no idea it was private.

First few things your need to change :
- Do your uber lab.
- Get a Grip of the council.
- Get a decent 6L ( corrupted one with good life and res is very cheap). Farm your currency for +1 spectre later).
- Get more life on your gears.
- Change to SEntry/ Knight. Their hp pool is huge compare to slave driver, that's why they're very hard to be killed.
- Remove the 5th flask, use the one in Kay's POB.
- Use cluster jewels they're huge dmg boost. Stack aura effect is cheaper to start.

Ignore that last flask, lol, it's just an experiment while I farm T7 BCs.

I have enough for the +1 spectre chest but I'm holding off until I decide what build I'm settling on so I can buy the one with the right colored sockets. Lots of high armor offerings with a life roll for ~4ex.

The reason for my trepidation is that my slave drivers are dying SO FAST on several occasions that a 4th wouldn't even matter.

I'll invest in a new chest 6L with +1 today and look through my cluster jewel stash tab for anything worthwhile.

Thank you for your input, and more importantly--your time. :)

You've got "0.48% of Physical Attack Damage Leeched as Life" on one of your rings, do the spiders proc that leech? And do you get that leeched life?

can faster casting affect redemption sentries? from poedb it seems most of their abilities are attacks and not spells.

would be cool if anyone could share Redemption Knights with me :)

(would like to try the new Spider build Kay posted a few pages before)

Same for me as well... anyone would like to share RK. I had them but I can't re-summon due to gem changes. Sigh.

TIA!
