I don't understand how so many people are having so many problems that they simply explode in frustration, while others like myself say it has been easy sailing.
I will try to depict my own leveling experience to see if it helps others.
First of all I did a complete league start so I had no leveling uniques and only wore what I found.
I used SRS and zombies to start with with minion damage and splash damage for both.
I got skeletons, changed the splash damage to them and put minion damage on the zombies.
I got skitterbot straight away since the slow + shock was a good thing to have. I added Infernal Legion + Burning Damage to Skitterbots and they almost killed everything on their own.
By level 30ish I dropped out of SRS as I got killed twice by metamorphs when I held still to cast them. I just focused on running in circles and resumonining skeletons/zombies when needed.
I eventually added Multistrike for both Skeletons and Zombies making it Skeleton/Zombie + Minion Damage + Multi-strike + Feeding Frenzy. Feeding Frenzy was really important and worth doing the Library quest for.
Soon as I got specters I got the apes from chapter two and made them Specters + Minion Life + Blood magic.
By chapter 8 I dropped out of the apes and picked up Frost Sentinels with Specters + Minion Damage + Pierce + Greater Multiple Projectiles.
When I had enough currency I bought a Tabula and placed the Specters there reasoning that the build only kicks off with a Queen's Escape but the specters don't need the speed since they shoot at things off screen.
They are now Specters + Minion Damage + Pierce + Greater Multiple Projectiles + Spell Echo + Cold Penetration.
The rest of my links are:
- Skeletons + Feeding Frenzy + Minion Damage + Multistrike
- Zombies + Feeding Frenzy + Minion Damage + Multistrike
- Bone golem + Minion damage + Multistrike + melee damage
- Skitterbots + Burning Legion + Burning Damage
- Frostblink + Desecrate.
Without the movement speed of the Queen's Escape the minions don't dash around as fast so I cast Skeletons on the packs of enemies. I pre cast my max number of skeletons before a metamorph/end act boss but Vaal Skeletons is a better move there, I'm sure, I just don't need it.
We don't need to hold still so we can't really die if we can keep on moving.
I followed the leveling suggestion posted in the original post and the only deviation was grabbing the 1% minion regen close to Death Attunement.
Thanks for the details! How would you say your damage has been in late game? What type of items/gear are you using? Have you fought the new Atlas bosses yet?

Yup, that's free resists. You can still need some on your gear, also for ele weakness on maps u want a little more if u want be capped on that mod. But true, u don't need that much to be capped with offering+bone+a lot of ress from tree.
Ok cool, i think i overdid it a bit then XD When i finally do uberlab and get bone barrier, i will be at something stupid like 136, 135 and 140 resists with spirit offering up LOL i think i need to drop those and just get better str/life gear and probably aberaths. But im still running on 4 links (6 linking league start is rough)

Did you even read that guide?^^
There's something about it, even in comments. It depends on your gear, progress etc. If you feel you need a little bit more damage for bosses, run vaal skele setup, pick some other auras without blasphemy setup. If you're fine with dmg, go 6l auras+curse.

Well, just cap for whatever you want, simply 75 or more for ele weakness. Then you can fill gear with str (1k for minion leech, 1,2k for 1 more zombie, 1,5k isn't that easy to get.) Remember, you can use catalyst for boost resists or attributs. For sure u should boost amulet. Then life, maybe some minion mods, like movement.
About links, you can buy tabula for zombie setup, put skele setup in Baron, rest of utility/spectres in half linked weapon. Or buy 5l geofri. You can even farm that tabula.

Make sure your version of PoB is current. If you've not updated it since v3.8 then you will get errors.
If for some reason your PoB is still giving grief, or you want to look at the PoB on a different device (cell phone, or Mac/linux) then use the browser base program POE Buddy - https://poe.technology/poebuddy/
This will allow you to see the configs without any issue or need to update till you can sort out PoB.

The first vid I uploaded yesterday has one of the boss fights at the end of the map.
I mean, the new Conquerors bosses. I saw someone saying the cold one is a minion killer, and the Awakener destroys everything because of chaos damage.
I just attempted the Awakener boss (Sirus) and he absolutely obliterates this build. I wasn't able to even get near the boss, and minions die instantly to his chaos damage. This build will need SERIOUS changes in order to beat that boss.
I think this is the main problem at the moment. Shaper and Uber Elder are not top tier bosses right now, so its nonrelevant that Burn is testing his build on them. Nobody gives a fck if zombies wreck UElder if Sirus is oneshooting them all. So instead of testing zombies on shaper, burn should reroll a new char and test his zombies on actual endgame bosses in metamorph. I couldnt care less how this build is performing in standard, there is some severe shit in metamorph endgame whichshould be adressed.
Knock yourself with addressing the stuff in metamorph, then document for the rest of us in this thread. The information contained here is based on positive contributions by everyone, for the benefit of everyone.
