Can someone explain why Geofri's Sanctuary is recommended? We don't pick any nodes that compliment max ES so in exchange for the massive amount of health regeneration this build naturally gets, we instead get compensated like 700 ES total at 1200 strength. Maybe I'm missing something but this doesn't seem worth it.

Also I don't see why Chaber Cairn is recommended as an option when Femur of the Saints exists.

For this build Chaber grants:
+2 Minion Gems
+25% increased minion life

Femur of the Saints roughly grants:
+2 Minion Gems
+80% increased minion damage
+12% block chance
+~8% max health regenerated a second (which is massive)
+120% mana regen

It feels like this should be no contest, especially when Femur can be bought for 1 alch vs Chaber's 55 Chaos.

Geofries give a nice all rounded set of defenses. The life regen is added to ES regen, i know it isn't ideal, but when the leech from zombies are in play, that and your life flask should do the trick. Its not best in slot at all, but compared to the 3 chaos pricetag (even in this league), its simply too good to skip.

Regarding femur, its way better.. I didn't really realize how good it was until i got one as a drop, the price of cairn is like 3 chaos if you upgrade it yourself though, not that it matters.

Btw: The skitterbots are also fun...

Queens escape is super fun, the movement speed of minions are mad!
Looking into skitterbots atm, realized that triad grip doesn't apply shock.. Whoops :c

lmao

I'm in high red maps, very tanky and just fine with wand and shield. Take a step back man, your ego is showing. There's more then one way to skin a cat, many ways to build.

I’m confused as to what you mean by triad grip doesn’t apply shock with skitterbots. Skitterbots each have there own aura, so they will shock/chill regardless of anything else you have equipped.

I’m running Skitterbots linked to Unbound Ailments, and so far it’s working out well. Though with the amount of time I can play each day it makes testing anything tedious (I can devote much more time to trolling on my tablet than actually playing the game). Auras: Pride, Banner, Skitterbots; once I can afford a Saqawal’s Nest I’ll add in the Aspect. I’m curious how Skitterbots would affect a chaos build since Haste is really the only aura worth reserving. The shock wouldn’t add much, but the chill is good for any build.

Anyone know how well golem’s survive high end content? I want to replace minion life with blind on them. They’re relatively easy to resummon if they die. I’m also not completely sold Stone Golem is worth a gem and jewel slot, but a 3rd minion blinding would be helpful. Also easy transition into wither if going chaos.
