Hi, thanks for guide. I've been using it as reference whenever I hit wall with some content. I have few questions:

1) Is wrath enough to proc elemental army? I've been using phys to lightning on zombies but the slot could be socketing more power for spectres if that is the case.

2) What do you think about impurity of lightning. It says hits ignore lightning resistance, potentially massive dmg gain but when I put it in pob it actually lowers the dps for some reason.

2.5) Follow up, do resists go negative for amplified damage? Impurity + ele army + conductivity + guardian helm (If I were to have same mod on helmet as guardian. Does the aura ele resist debuff stack?)

3) Does the endgame axe on guardian give permanent fortify?

Thanks again for your time


1. I believe so, since the only elemental damage is lightning. GGG's wording is a bit ambiguous, though.

2. The build is already proc'ing -50% lightning res from EE. Impurity sets lightning res to 0%.

2.5 IIRC, 'ignore resists' override sources of penetration.

3. Yes, but you really need Meatshield support to keep the AG close enough to you to benefit. Otherwise, it runs off.

Much appreciated bro!! It appears as if shedding the Victario’s Charity has opened up the build considerably and makes it far easier to stack life/resistances.

Question: how important is Chaos resistance in this build at T15/16 maps?? Gear with this tends to be harder/pricier, and do wonder if it’s worth the time and currency to get them.


Very few things do big chaos hits, so you can almost ignore chaos resist.


Well... except syndicate? :-) I think having at least some chaos resist (i'm at -3% now without even trying) really helps against them.

Is there a limit or cap on how much cast speed the Slave Drivers can handle?

Just found a jewel that gave me an additional 16% minion cast speed with absolutely no repercussions and I'm running Zealotry/Haste... I'm wondering: with the new boost to minion cast speed if I should swap Haste for more spell dmg from Wrath... or if I should just keep at pumping up the cast speed?


As far as I know, there is no limit. Consider this: Undending Hunger procs Soul Eater.

"
Soul Eater is a stackable buff that grants 5% increased attack speed, 5% increased cast speed and 1% increased character size per stack. Every enemy killed grants 1 stack.


I've seen SDs grow to be double (if not triple) the size of the normal spectre. So that would amount to, at least, 500% increase cast speed.

So now we put clarity in an unset ring and put vaaal skeletons in the wand slot? I'm looking at the new pob right now (not the version two but the pob updated on the 23rd). Also if we use a 1-socket resonator and a bound fossil, it will give us a chance to get the +1 skills and also other minion skills? For other gear like boots, we use potent alchemical resonator and bound and shuddering fossil and it will give everything we hope to get including life and resists? Or do we add that with another craft? I never crafted anytrhing before except a few things in the bench craft.


Yes, you have the gist of it.

Vaal Skeletons gives you a skeleton every trigger, which adds another body and an aggro magnet. You can hit the vaal button to get a huge lump of skeletons to body block monsters (bosses or blight). Just pray you don't crash.

1-soc reso + bound is the cheapest way to get the targetted mod. You can add other fossils to limit rolls, but my crafting guide is just an intro to crafting. For boots, it's a little more complicated, you can use just bounds and craft 24% ms, if you want to save money. That's what I do earlier in the league.

Hi there,

this might very well be a complete noob question, but...
I was trying to dive into crafting (playing for 2 years now but always preferred buying over crafting) and thought I'd craft myself a nice convoking wand.
I took a lvl 84 convoking wand and tried the fossil method first with bound fossils, but didn't get anything near decent. So I started spamming with alterations. After 500+ alts I never even once saw the + 1 lvl to all minion gems, but what I was really wondering ... how do you guys get such high increased minion damage on the wands? The highest I ever saw while spamming was around 50% and I keep seeing wands with 100+ increased damage. Am I missing a special method here?
this build is amazing, thanks for working hard

It's pure luck. 100+ is actually two mods. You can get a ~80% primary mod and a ~20% hybrid mana/dmg mod. Bound fossils just increase the roll chance, but it's still rng. I don't particularly like the alt method because it increases the chance for rubbish caster mods.

Also, use a low level wand. I've had better luck with mid 70s wands and I've spoken to other summoners, who had the same luck. i80+ seems like a noob trap.

Hi, have a question about the Risen Vaal Advocate spectres, how can I differentiate the damage type of these Risen Vaal Advocate? I want to summon all 5 lightening one, but always get the fire and chaos one in between. Thank you


Remove spell echo when summoning spectres.



I am not taking about spell echo, and I dont have spell echo linked. When summon the vaal advocates, I just cant differentiate the damage type from their corpse(the have the same name), since I need all 5 lightning spectres

You gotta build some defense!

NOTE: Lightning RVAs have a blue lightning + dark flame effect on their hands.

You have to raise and check. The corpses don't really show the difference.
