{3.10} Speaker for the Dead | The Mass Minion Summoner | League Starter, Leveling Guide 💀

@ Trailer02:

"

any problems with minions dying?

None so far.

We have the option to grab 1.5% life regen for one point, and another 1% with minion life for another point.

It's worth noting that minion life has been substantially buffed, to the point where 2% now is like 4%+ before. We've got another 65% increased minion life that we didn't have before, 20% more minion life from ascendancy, +2 to all gem levels for another 20% more life, 25% phys reduction, max ele resistances on tree, and even Bone Armour.

More life also improves Life Leech, and more attack/cast speed means faster Leech stacks.

Amazing Guide btw :)

I was just wondering what passive you would recommend to get with oils.

3.8 INFO spoiler contains links to two posts where I discuss good options for us.

Why lvl 1 desecrate? It can support lvl 7 desecrate.

It can, but doesn't matter either way. We gain no benefit from the level of Desecrate. By keeping it L1, it's one less thing to worry about accidentally overleveling when the popup occurs six more times.

Also you say we change to ES nodes, but your POB guide still has life nodes. It's a mix you mean, right?

That's what Hybrid means in this game's context, using both Life and ES together. When I said we changed to ES nodes, what I said in context was:

We have dropped Acrobatics and Belly of the Beast in favor of Energy Shield nodes and gear.

In other words, we trade the defense of Acrobatics, which reduces ES, for ES, which then justifies swapping out Belly for more total eHP with an ES chest (easier colors and cheaper to buy as a 6L, too).

This build looks really fun, going to need to try it soon. Has anyone whose been running it had any problems with minions dying? With only 2% minion regen and 2% of leech and cwdt healing seems a bit low.

The Holy Relic regen (300 hp/s for minions) seems to be enough for zombies / spectres / golems. As for skeletons, you're resummoning them so much that death doesn't really seem to matter.

Hey guys! What can i do to improve my gear? Having a hard time with this so please help me! Should i go Carrion golem, Zombies, empower or stay as it is?

Drop Minion Damage and put Carrion Golem in its place. It cannot be understated how ridiculously powerful Carrion Golem is. It's like a free aura for your minions. Everyone should be using it, no exceptions.

If you're willing to spend some cash, you can drop Feeding Frenzy in your Zombie/Carrion Golem setup and place Empower there. The purpose of your Zombies is largely to knock things around with their slam and take hits that you don't want to, and the purpose of the Carrion Golem is to buff your minions with a ridiculous aura. Empower makes both of them better at their jobs, while Feeding Frenzy is making them do more damage and run away from you, which isn't really their job.

The Carrion Golem actually does a lot of damage and is great with FF, but we simply don't have the links to be able to give him the 4L he deserves. The best thing you can do for him is to just let him share Empower with your Zombies unless you're willing to cut your CWDT setup down to 3L and let them have FF too.

Honestly I've been thinking that I could get away with 3 linking cyclone and electric ball boi, so that I could 4 link the skellies and the zombie/ carrion.

I'm trying to figure out if there are decided disadvantages to this.

Hey! Ill buy an empower and put zombies and carrion golem with it. Since i got the lightning on attack on one of my rings, i dont really need ball of lightning right? Thanks for your input, but what about my gear? Will carrion colem and zombies be affected by maim and faster attacks on the claw?
Regards/Gabbi

What advantage exactly does a claw have over any other 1h shaper weapon? Is it just the life on hit?

Hi, great guide! Had a few questions.

How do we proc frenzy and power charges from victario's charity if we do not allocate Necromantic Aegis keystone?

What weapon and mods should we look for?

Lastly is there a brief breakdown of gear we should aim for? Not sure if I missed anything at page 123.

Im interested in your triad grip setup, its always so exciting to see someone's build evolve as they try it in practice. My question is why both smoke mine and whirling blades, isnt 2 travel skills a bit excessive?
