3.14 KING OF ALL SUMMONERS. Zombies & Skeletons & Spectres on STEROIDS! | League-Start to End-Game

I am having a hard time getting responses from traders so late in this league.

Would anyone be willing to sell me or let me borrow their gear so I can finally finish atlas and beat shaper (maybe even UE!) for the first time ever? I have 3ex and change, not sure what that'll buy.

I finished all white and yellow maps, and am halfway (or more) through red maps...furthest I've ever gotten! 5s Queen's and a tabula rasa starting to slow down though and I'm hoping I can get gear good enough to Finish the Fight before league ends and Shaper/UE essentially become an artifact of the past for folks like me with limited time and skills.

Thank you!!

Trying this build, but my zombies dying on t11+ maps... I dont understand is it because i don't have the right sword?

You aren’t even close to following the builds outlined. Go look at page 1 and the gear, gems, jewels and other items outlined there. You are missing a ton of things.

So I am looking for someone with extensive knowledge of this build, possibly even OP to throw some information my way.

I just started Blight about 5 days ago, I am currently hovering around T6/7 maps and am starting to hit a bit of a wall. I am missing quite a few items from the build I know, but that's where the main questions I have stem from.

I am thinking about using this build as my league starter for 3.9. I haven't put much into this build currency wise and it's been pretty satisfactory. However, I am finding that I now need 10-20ex in order to fully match the build to what is listed on the first page.

Are these prices so high because it's so late in the league/so good for Blight? Or can I expect these prices to be just as high in 3.9? The animate guardian setup alone is 10ex+. ]

I am trying to decide on my league starter so I can get information piled together for a fast start, but don't want to use this build if it's a 20-40ex build as I will never own that much currency.

This is perfect as a starter build. There are cheaper gear options explained in the first page and you don't need the top level stuff to participate in end game.

Check out my character (note, this varies from the build guide and is by no means optimal! This is a work in progress but just shows how flexible this build is):


I'm just about to hit lvl 95, my highest level character ever and I play mostly self found. Up until level 93 I was using these items of gear:


With the lesser gear I have and only 5 link zombies I've cleared up to Tier 16 Vaal Pyramid, taken out the Elder and his Guardians and easily clear red tier maps. Sure, I'm not immortal and I have died and I lost my AG once (the cheaper version, not the Kingmaker and Stitched Demon one) but otherwise my progress has been great. Usually I get stuck in yellow maps and never progress further but Blight has been very helpful.

If you sell items and map efficiently, you will gain currency. Try not to craft gear, sell everything and particularly ALTs will exchange for chaos/exalt if you're smart about it.

This build is a definitely recommend rating for the next league!

Yes. As above, this build is very easily a league starter. Gear is very flexible to reach end game... And when you're at end game you can easily farm for the gear.

I will be reviewing the guide once the patch notes come out and will update based on what I see. One more week until patch notes!

Edit: as for your current character, I would chaos recipe and sell items to fund the Queen's Escape and also pick up some Alberons Warpath boots.

Note that this late in league it will be harder to make $$ because it will be harder to sell. Early in league is much easier.

are you able to clear up the guide as from reading through and doing the same i noticed alot of people copied the gem setup from the gear overview as opposed to the actual gem section - just add a note etc.


the budget section starts with a 6link etc is there any advice/setups you can show for league starters/new players and how to progress using say a 4L weapon and body and where to go from there.


I do appreciate the guide it's great but i find there's a slight gap on progression which if filled would be amazing!

Alrighty will do.

I'll add a more detailed levelling section for 3.9 once all details are revealed. I've got a feeling the tree will be re-worked a bit so no real point creating one now.

I have done almost anything you could do in STD with this build - put 100+ ex in it and i love it!

But im a newb - and i was trying for something new with Ranged Spectres.

I was trying to get 2x Frost sentinels and 2x Flame Sentinels - but whenever i try to raise either one i get 1 Frost + 1 small guardian sentinel. Same with the Flame sentinels.

What am i doing wrong?

You probably have spell echo in your setup so you're casting raise spectre twice and picking one up that you don't want. Take spell echo out when raising spectres and then slot it back in.

That was the problem! Thank you and thank you for the most OP build ever.

Doing uber farm now and cant even die to beams it seem

Brunowa - First and foremost, thank you for this incredible guide. I leveled three other builds into the low 90’s this league, but they were all disappointing. I had written off the “all content on a budget” promises of other builds as pure fiction. In fact, two weeks ago I decided to quit the league and wait for Conquerors. Then I stumbled upon your guide and decided to try it before Blight ended. I’m up to level 94 and my only regret is that I didn’t find this build sooner. I have mediocre gear (I’m still using Queen’s Decree), but I have been able to farm Uber Elder for the first time. That’s a testimony to the flexibility of the build and thoroughness of your guide. Thanks again for all of the time and effort that you put into maintaining the guide and answering questions.

Fantastic build. After fooling around with spectres and skeletons it's great to have a fairly indestructible quick character.

I went with phase run and haste to make up for the slow boots and belt.

By far the best character I've ever played in PoE
