As for the boots, that was my whole point. You've spent 6ex to get 200 extra life and you lost chaos res from Alberon's. The strength and even movement speed is the same.

I took a different route. I set up a search for non-influenced boots with T1 STR, T1 life, 30%+ Movement speed and at least one open suffix (I wanted a craftable suffix and a slam). This is of course a gamble - you could get it on 1st try or...well never, I guess. I got it on 3rd try. After having resold failed attempts total cost is about 7ex. I gained speed, life and chaos res.

I have The Baron with 40% Dread Banner effect.
What is best:
Dread Banner linked with Generosity
Flesh and Stone linked with Maim
Gotta choose - out of sockets even after getting Enduring Cry on belt :)
Is there a fork of PoB that can calculate this stuff precisely?

Both options are very close, but lvl5 awakened generosity should give ~2.5% more damage.

I've experimented with the gem setups recently and in your case, I'd probably switch flesh and stone to feeding frenzy and feeding frenzy to minion damage. You'll still have maim and feeding frenzy buff from the golem, but you'll get much more damage and 4 extra passive points.

Yeah, you've got a very nice pair of boots. But there are 12 different suffixes and 11 of them have the same weight, so I think you were very lucky hitting this only on 3rd attempt, gz :)

Thanks a lot, really appreciate the input.

Maybe even better option is to move purity of elements to the gloves (replace maim) and put awakened generosity in the freed socket. You'll need aura nodes from the tree then, but you can probably switch 8% reduced mana reservation to 6% increased aura effect.

Yeah, trying different setups right now. Saving 4 points on Sovereignty cluster allows me to pop in another Brawn with 1% reduced mana res, and that puts me really close to 1800 STR. Will see if I can squeeze out the rest :)
Edit: Sacrificing a bit of life for "Divine Wrath" with 5% STR from Lethal Pride I was able to hit 1800. Fine-tuning gear a bit and getting level 98 I shouldn't need to though. Thanks again for making me see these new options :)

Gz for this iteration of zombie build. I like it more then Geoffry and dmg seems alot higher.

I just want to say i have alot of fun with this build and good luck on making future builds.

I just have one question: Do you think is possible to get 1800 str whitout
loosing important nodes?

I feel like you'd get more of not focusing on 1800 strength, but instead looking what else could be changed for higher dps. Right now i am working on a elegant hubris version ^^

So after checking all kind of possible replacement and talk with you on stream i decided to change main weapon. Managed to find only 2h weapon (at decent price) on server from what i know that is maybe best for for us. If that explode GGG will make work for minions, is just insane:)))


I need to replace my rings for minion damage to compensate a bit low minion damage roll on weapon and maybe get zombie attack speed enchant instead of damage since i lost attack speed craft on weapon.
And followed your advice and replaced my boots :)

I don't know man. Quick comparison in PoB shows -9.5% dps for me. The explosion part as far as I know doesn't work for minions also. If you really don't know where to put a lot of exalts, then go for 7L weapon with fortify corruption implicit. It'll give 20% more damage over regular weapons.

How do you guys handle Legion? What I mean is killing all mobs in an encounter before the timer runs out?

What should i go for next? Got a 15% lethal pride but using 10% atm, current str is about ~1690. All rares are selfcraft, working on a better belt already. Also 1 ex away from the chaos res watchers eye.
