You can still look at other Channeling skills here in the Wiki : https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Channelling_skill Other "Trigger" gems are kind of not really as usable. There's still the classic Cast when damage taken or maybe Cast on Critical Stike that are usable, but still. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Trigger I guess it's possible to use a Convoking wand with "Trigger a socketed skill" mod to automate the setup you have in your CwC, but you have to drop the juicy crafted mace/staff weapon to do that and move your zombies to a 6L body armour instead. Which, I think, is not worth it.	Posted by bigtoaster64#0429 on Apr 10, 2020, 11:11:15 AM Quote this Post

(+42% Life and more) - The Indomitable Army node aswell as the 3 Minion Life/Resistances/Phys Dmg Reduction nodes nearby. (+47% Life and more) - The Minion Life nodes near Death Attunement node. (+34% and more) So then you can use a juicy 4th gem for your zombies. Those will make your zombie tank pretty against any normal/magic/most rare monster. Bosses might still kill or hit hard some of them, but they'll mostly survive everything during story. I personally use while leveling : Raise Zombie - Minion Damage - Melee Phys - Minion Speed (then swap to Multistrike at lvl 38). More then 4L, Feeding Frenzy/Deathmark - Brutality/Impale (If Dread Banner)/Empower lvl 3 (If lucky drop). Pretty much the same for my Skeleton links except that I drop Brutality/Empower/Impale for Melee Splash, cause Skeleton doesn't have great AoE, the zombie's slam. I usually don't keep SRS for too long in early league (up to lvl 10), so I don't really know what's the optimal setup for them, but it looks pretty decent to me. Thanks for the tips. I'm using this setup now and it's working pretty well. I just grabbed the sacrifice wheel and I'm headed towards death attunement now. I might just grab the annoitment(if its a cheap one) for indomitable army since that isn't part of my original tree and it's 2 points out of my way - unless you think it's worth grabbing the 2 life nodes in the wheel as well? edit: The annoitment for ravenous horde is like 30c! I'll get that one later! Mess with the best, die like the rest. Last edited by Edzilla#0339 on Apr 10, 2020, 12:40:24 PM	Posted by Edzilla#0339 on Apr 10, 2020, 12:38:33 PM Quote this Post
Dang, I picked up the base for my weapon for 1 ex. 2 ex and a scour later and I’m ready to start socketing as soon as Hillock moves to Transportation...I very nearly was stupid and fossil rolled for quality :/. It almost makes up for the wasted currency needlessly rolling a staff.	Posted by Aldonés#1294 on Apr 10, 2020, 12:39:23 PM Quote this Post

I'll get that one later! Well at the start of league I grab them early, then I respect them for more damage, but Delirium seems to hit pretty hard sometime, so I personally kept them. But, I guess you'll have to test if your zombies feels OK without them. I was OK up to yellow maps, but in red maps I had to invest more into Minion Life/Resistance/Damage reduction/etc. (With Femurs. With the crafted weapon it's running fine without too much investment in it)	Posted by bigtoaster64#0429 on Apr 10, 2020, 5:59:15 PM Quote this Post

Maybe I'll just grab the whole wheel for now, just to be safe. Mess with the best, die like the rest.	Posted by Edzilla#0339 on Apr 10, 2020, 6:41:40 PM Quote this Post

Yup you just have to turn an aura off. This was really annoying for me, as I played this build for my league started and my zombies would die pretty often. I suggest getting some ghastley eye jewels that give your zombies %hp Regen and leech if you have a socket free here or there, or are using a stygian. As for your own survivability, well we lost spirit offering so you're a lot less tanky. Baron with the minimum strength for your zombies to leech life for you is a big help, along with an animate guardian that has fortify from kingmaker and a rare chest with blind on it. Additionally a specter that casts enfeeble is useful Last edited by neoseagull#7692 on Apr 11, 2020, 10:37:43 PM	Posted by neoseagull#7692 on Apr 11, 2020, 8:27:08 PM Quote this Post
^^ thank you so much and also do we need this Note!: The aura priority of the build is the following: Pride > Aspect of the Avian > Generosity - Dreadbanner > Flesh & Stone - maim > Purity of elements. You can push Purity of elements up if you're lacking resistances instead of aspect / flesh and stone. I thought we got aspect of the avian on our ring do i need to get the gem or what? im so confused lol	Posted by 4pointt0#3277 on Apr 11, 2020, 9:32:09 PM Quote this Post
