Hi all - loving the build. What should be my next upgrade? I got quite lucky with my head enchant - second lab I ran this league...

I am at 1200 strength, 15 zombies. I think damage is high enough, need more suitability

I am thinking lethal pride / elegant hubris and then better amulet perhaps. My rings also have no sockets so not using VMS at the moment.

How important is the 6L chest also?

Thank you!!

If you need survivability i'd recommend getting the 6th link on the chest as its 8% less damage taken from attacks and spells. I'd also recommend that you check out a vaal molten shell, as that grants us alot of on need survivability.

I've had quite a few people saying that grave intentions isn't needed at higher levels anymore? What do you guys reckon, is this a fact? Cause then i'll remove it from the endgame tree :)

Its the second time i try to do a minion build and this time i think i dit it right, i started this league doing arc mine but then got tired of dying again and again to metamorph.
So far i killed sirus two times and it was a breeze.
Now im at 1590 str with 15 zombies and i wanna get to 1800, im still using astra and wanna get an amulet but im having trouble on pob to simulate and compare the numbers, to see if im gonna get close to that, if anyone could give me some tips
thanks

Probably not mandatory anymore since the Sirus nerf, but also not the worst to keep. I'm not sure how good Unholy Might is, but the 10% max life as extra max es synergizes nicely with Spirit Offering. Also has a prime jewel location for Efficient Training

That said, you can reallocate 9 skill points by not picking Grave Intentions and the nearby jewel slot!

Got a 20% Strength Lethal Pride (12229 under Rakiata)

Not the most optimal nodes but hey.

only nodes that you get regularly / 2 point max counts

Would Hands of the High Templar be good for this build?

I'm looking at some gloves with these stats:
+1 Socketed Gems
+2 AOE Gems
+2 Aura Gems

That would be +5 to pretty much any aura, i.e. Skitterbots, Pride, Flesh/Stone

You lose alot of ES but gain quite a bit of life and resists.


Edit: Against my better judgement, I decided to pull the trigger and just get one for ~11ex lol



Kinda hard to do a 1:1 comparison vs. Shapers Touch but in terms of Life and ES this is the before and after, values in brackets are after spirit offering proc:

Shaper's:
Life 6,275
ES 2,167 (4,202)

Templar:
Life 6,332
ES 1,036 (2,307)


Edit2: Forgot I can continue using blessed orbs to squeeze a bit more ES and get a higher lvl Enfeeble curse!

Yet another what next question.... ok, before you say get a 6l femurs. I feel like it is a waste of currency, because next your going to say start saving for a crafted weapon. :)

So really what do you think. I killed Sirus (lvl 4 first try... i watched videos and know he got nerfed, but hey!) on 5L. I have good jewels and before fighting Sirus i tried corrupting them. I bricked one ET and one Brawn, but got insanely lucky on the third attempt at EF. Other than that gear is ok, but lots of places to upgrade.





Lethal pride is only 10% strength at the moment, but there has been a lot of talk the last week about switch it out entirely, so i don't want to invest in that yet.

I feel very tanky and damage is good. I really want to start on the crafted weapon but atm only 2ex 480chaos. So i have a ways to go. Should i just keep farming and get to awakened level 8.

femurs 6L is easily resalable item. You wont lose much. I would sell that corupted blood jewel. Its only good on awakener. I just using random 5c jewel for it
