What parameters are important on the shield?

1. Recover life
2. Recover ES
3. life
4. spell block

I dont really wanna switch to W/S this league, but what about this? With phasing from eye, its permanent 15% avoid, whitch is better then spell block...

Hm. I'm not sure if this shield is actually good.
I think most people using W&S build are already at max attack block, so it only gives 15% chance to avoid elemental damage.
Phasing only allows you to run through monsters, but they can still hit you.
Compared to a rare crafted shield, it loses recover life/es on block.

What about a helmet like this for the build? I mean its mirrored but like the stats for the bonus +1 int gem. Its just some bonus damage i guess but it wasnt too expensive to get the stats if you dont need Res on helmet

It's good as long as it's not expensive. Uncorrupted would still be better because you can modify it.

Hi, i recently changed my build from W/S to PoH and the DPS upgrade is awesome but this new build seems very squishy.

Is there a particular way to play this one ? Because i'm getting oneshoted (or nearly) by bosses or some rare mobs at least once per map.

I'm using the same gear / flask listed in this guide, with capped elemental resistance and 49% chaos resistance.

PoH build is a very 'aggressive' build. You need to rely on the DPS and the gear and just run through the map. It's also important to run around the sides of packs. This is why phasing is extreme important (see my other reply below).

If you are dying too much, it might be worth trying the new W&S / EB & MoM build. It combines the PoH build's tree with W&S to keep the tankiness with extra DPS!

+ not sure if it helps much, but watchers eye with phasing are good too. saves especially in mine and if your ES go to 0 and have no "mana" to cast flame dash, just go through and hope that youll be fine. + it looks great, some people think that its MTX, asking where to buy )))

It helps a lot in all game play! Monsters take time to hit you and will attack where you were. So running through all monsters, even bosses, is a big boost to survivability because you are naturally dodging their attacks.

Guys any idea how I can increase dps now... i got like 600k on PoB it's a bit slow on map lvl 15... any ideas?

You can upgrade gear:
Awakened Gems
Ring & Amulet with minion damage
Better wand

Switch to EB & MoM tree

1.2M per spectre for mapping (Bone Offering - 70/55 block, Feeding Frenzy)
2.7M per spectre for bossing (Flesh Offering,frenzy charges, Conc Effect

If you really wanted to push it you can get even more DPS if you use a wand with +1 to minion gems, Haste-Aul amulet and another aura/aspect of the spider (and free up some skill points as well).

Saying that this would be too expensive doesnt really count anymore if you consider the PoB is using 3 Awakened gems.

I have some tweaks to the test build for W&S / EB & MoM.

OK, i'll test it for you... :-) My regular PoH build is fine, but now i'm at 39/40, trying to camp T19 maps for some drop, maybe 100 run, and metamorphs here are just seriously fucked up, when you mostly depend on Bone Barrier.

I switched to this

Hello, im new to game and summoner build, i want to start playing this build as HC character. I have a question what minions should i use as spectres? i heard thats good to use Lunaris Temple minions for aoe.

Hm. Good idea!
Using Haste/Aul and adding Zealotry to the auras, and using normal gems gives:
1.4M / 3M

Actually this is far more cost effective since Haste/Aul is 5ex in 3.9. The main problem would be getting two +1 wands with decent minion damage if you wanted the high dps on weapon swap option.

--

If you only use the normal gems, the numbers are:
1M / 2.25M

I think 5M for mapping and 11M for endgame bossing is still pretty good.

--

Haste/Aul + Zealotry + Awakened:
1.95M / 3.6M

This would actually give it more DPS than PoH!

I'm guessing free Haste Aura is better than +1 to all int gems? Will look at PoB as well. I never thought about running an off hand setup that includes Flesh Offering.

@Kayella Running an offhand setup with Flesh Offering/Victario's is genius.

Aul's Haste + Zealotry

https://pastebin.com/vpTr6QfB

Bone offering:
- 71/63 Block
- 1.47 mil DPS (Feeding Frenzy)
- 2.02 mil DPS (conc effect)

Flesh offering(offhand + victarios).
- 42/27 Block
- 2.33 mil DPS (no idea how to count frenzy charges tbh)
- 3.5 mil DPS with frenzy charges. (if i count right...)

Bone offering setup feels great, i nearly die few times and HP go from 1% to 100% in no time during flasks and blocks etc... super cool.

Flesh offering didnt tested well enough, but Lair of Hydra feelt pretty safe even if you are looser like me and get into that bubbles often.

Only 1 thing is, zombies almost die few times and Animate got damage too. so i swap Feeding Frenzy to Minion Life. Will see. But so far feels AWESOME! )

PoH was good, but i cant reach 97 few days. Die pretty often. Hope this one will help :)

And finished my 1st awakener deathless! with this new build )

Just wanted to say that I switched over from my other build to the new variant. I'm loving the tankiness and survivability. I still die often, but I'm pushing content pretty far for my current gear. Thanks for all your hard work.
