[3.11]QUEEN OF NECROMANCY - STRONGEST ZOMBIES EVER? 55M+ DPS 7K+ LIFE MAX BLOCK 90% CHAOS RES

Hey guys!!

Sorry for my bad english, but I will share with u my The Baron theorycraft (with old ideas from this thread and some own ideas):

1- ES summoner in 3.9: https://pastebin.com/EwTCmzNb

VP, shaper's touch + astramentis + Geofri's + soul tether, really noob itens (except from Maul) and 10K+ EHP.


- Benefits: 5M shaper dps because FF nerf, big leech to 10k (because es leech too);

around 30-40% phys reduction without flask and 60 with flasks.

This build beat uber elder with less of 10 fps in 3.8 and 300 depth AUL with 10/15 fps.


- Weakness: negative chaos res.

2- Life summoner in 3.10 (but in STD, so no cluster jewels yet): https://pastebin.com/Z5gmFbPj


- Benefits: 10,5kk Shaper dps (without awakener gems and impale!!!), 8k life, 1k regen with flasks + holy relic, 75% chaos res (i got better rings now and replace many uniques). 35-40% phys reduc without flasks and 74% with flasks.


- Weakness: expansive and not better chest to this build, but still viable.
No impale/awakener gems yet;
I try using banner, but i havent mana to cyclone because fail in -3 mana costa on ring.

Ps.: Using cyclone and zombies clear fine, dont need FF anymore.

pps.: My AG got chest + 1 curse, so spectre cast enfeeble and with AG hit bosses got double curse (vuln + enfeeble), when spectre recast, ag hit again... so perma double cursed bosses and big AoE from enfeeble in diabolish.

ppps.: i like many defences because potato PC and big spikes/bad latency here, its a really bad combo.

pppps.: I know now impale are better to dmg, i will change it...

Ok guys, made a few changes and think it might work. Kinda crazy but I'm running with only 51 available mana right now LOL. Here's what I'm doing:

1) I'm going to change out of Withering Step and add Flame Dash to the boots to accommodate Awakened Increased Area of Effect in my chest. It works with my Awakened Generosity, so it'll save me a point on the tree at least for right now so I can get more minion attack and cast speed.

2) I got a more powerful 2h mace with the same attack speed and mods, but the minion stats are reversed (28 cast speed, 26 attack speed). POB shows a .7% drop on the minions, but the extra skill point will more than make up for it. If this ends up being viable, I'm going to corrupt my original (so nervous lol)

BTW, I figured out why my POB minion DPS was low...I forgot to add my specters all together LOL.

I've got a staff meeting for work so I didn't have time to try it, but updated the POB. I think it's going to be really good though once I get used to not having withering step. I have no idea how to see my full DPS or enable how many of each specter, so if you know please let me know too :)

edit - just updated the POB and going to try it out now. I was trying to figure out how to also run Flesh Offering, or if I have enough defense to replace Bone Offering. I'd have to get rid of something to do it though and think subbing it in place of Feeding Frenzy may be the answer.

I finally hit level 34 zombies! Following my silly semi sff rules so no watchers eye but it is just a fight away...

getting around 1m dps before spectre vuln and AG stuff... about to test a sim

Hi guys-

First time playing necro, been using a mix of this thread and Ethan's content for direction.

One question: I have enough res now to the point where I don't need purity of elements. What should I put in it's place? Right now I'm using pride - flesh and stone - maim in my chest with vaal summon skeles because I don't know what else to use.

You only need the enlighten if you're running a 5 aura setup, correct? Also I have a watcher's eye with the extra chaos res from purity of elements mod, but have capped chaos res w/o it. Should I drop the watcher's eye and replace it with a diff jewel?

Here's my account, sorry im too dumb to link a POB

https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Mephisto415/characters

My elegant hubris is 80 minion life, 80 minion damage and 37 chaos res since I don't think it shows it correctly on there.


seems like my biggest issue with the build so far is survivability. After level 90 and into red maps I find it really hard to make XP progress without dying fairly often, even with vaal molten shell. Any advice is appreciated.

I didn't look at build but just real quick, you don't need to cap your chaos as a priority. Chaos damage has the lowest probability of occurrence vs. fire/lightning/cold. I'm at -2 and have been running T16 maps since level 92 without even a blip of health dip. I use a watcher's eye as well, but the real benefit for me are the other stats. The faster ES restart with Discipline is HUGE. I don't use Vaal Molten shell since I'm stacked with armor and have the Discipline synergy with the Watcher's Eye and have Vaal Discipline ready during boss fights as my emergency button. You only need Molten Shell or that, not both. As a rule of thumb, get yourself as much as armor as possible, like 5k or more. Armor is the only stat on defense that scales. Everything else has diminishing returns as you level, so forget about things like evasion entirely. Also, make sure you have a corrupted blood immunity on one of your jewels and that should help. And keep an eye on the map modifiers, get freeze immunity on a flask and strong box descriptions. I can't tell you how many times I died early on because I wasn't paying attention that the strong box said it explodes lol.

edit - I took a quick peak at your build. Not sure about a lot there honestly. You don't have a Geoffry's or Shaper's Touch, which are critical for a strength stacking summoner build's surivability. Also, you've got Elegant Hubris in the spot where Lethal Pride should be. That's where all the minion nodes are near that socket. So with the right Lethal Pride, it'll grant strength and physical damage to literally everything you select and also pass it onto the zombies. Not sure why you're running skeletons either? No specters either who could be giving you dps + frenzy charges. That ammy's really gotta go too. Take a look at my character and try to copy what I've got.

Ok so im pretty much Maxed out completely. I really wanna switch out brutality but i don't know what would be better then it? any know whats a better (more dps) gem to swap with brutality ? my acc name is ( Big pwn noob level 96 if you wanna look at my profile. ALSO what watchers eye should i get i mean i want more DPS idk what to do to get it im fine tanky wise i just need to get more dps i mean my dps is good i just want it better lol ty.
