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

When I'm back from vacation this weekend I'll update the guide guys.

I see there are many people confused and having issues with DPS and minions dying.

These are easy fixes but I'll need my PC to update guide properly to help you understand it better.

When you understand the mechanics of this build you will know what to do to tweak it to your advantage and what's needed for your specific setup, but I see there are many new players here so I'll do my best to make it very clear and easy for you.

hi guys.

this is my first time trying any necro build. and i am confused about spectres.

i know you have to target a corpse to raise a spectre, and locations have been given for the correct ones.

but what happens when i log off. they go away, and i have to go back to those areas to summon them again?

i also saw the post above about desecrate, and that confused me more.

could someone please explain how spectres work, and how you keep them summoned even after logout?

thanks,

Are you holding the corpse target key ("A" key) to target the specific corpse you want to spectre?

In the spectres section Brunowa lets you know which spectres to summon and where to get them, once u get in the right area, u dont have to go looking for the monster. You use desecrate from anywhere in the specific area. Spectres don't leave when you log off or die, just if they get killed, which is rare in my experience. Press "a" or apparently "alt" also works, but I've never tried that. Pressing "a" or "alt" should let you see which corpses are you raised. You need to already have spectres as an active skill in your slots to be able to both see what monsters are which, and to summon them. To sum up, go to the correct area noted in the spectres section, cast desecrate, hold "a" or "alt" while finding your desired spectre, then use the spectre skill to summon. If your desired monster isn't showing up, keep casting desecrate and checking the summoned monsters.

thanks! makes a bit more sense now :D

at what point is it better to convert over to aura instead of skeletons?

I'm a little confused. This isn't my first play through but maybe only my 4th character? Under the leveling section we initially took death attunement in the 1-20 section and it stays POE planner linkd until the 81-123 section. In the 81-123 section its gone and other branches have been added for jewels and few other skills.

I am now lvl 65 and with book skill points am in this portion of the tree. I assume i just use my regret points to refund the 9 or so skills it took to get death attunement and then reallocate. Just making sure im not missing anything.

no, dont to that right now. u will drop that branch when u will anoint ur amulet. but from my point of view, its better to not anoint death attunement via oil. because for this league there are better options which will help u survive at t14-t15 maps.

here is what im planning to get, currently im at 90lvl, so miss HP/shield nodes on right side of tree.

as for anointment i will go for cleansing thoughts. it doubles ur chaos resist, which in this league can be useful, there are plenty of foes dealing chaos dmg. so im picking 20% from tree, using 30% ring, adding amethyst flask on top for 35%. (20+30+35)x2=170%. chaos resist capped.

I don't even know how anoitment works. So thats going to suck. So i can leave that tree alone for now and start matching your tree essentially. Will do. I love POE but man does this shit start getting intimidating.

wiki "oil" and "cassia". main idea wasnt mine, ive seen someone here using stampede and cleansing thoughts anoint, and it felt like good idea for me, i wasnt fan of anointing death attunement from start, because that way ill lose minions hp on that branch, which is about 20 or 30%. my zombies are alive for all time at t14, but i dont wanna to checkout at what point they will die cause of lack hp.

also i have my personal goal to get to delve 1000 with this build, so im trying to get prepared for this. spamming raise zombie in middle of darkness will be equal of commiting suicide.

im not encouraging anyone follow this route, im like others, still reading nodes in tree, wiki and trying to adapt a build to me personal needs and playstyle.

my tweaks are based on what other already made.
1. i went for skeleton chest, cause of that i didnt pick mana reservation branch
2. i picked % of strength increase node at bottom, which was taken by someone who posted his tree here
3. im getting rings/chaos resist branch and cleansing thoughts, like someone already made.
4. im running stampede, because i dont press cyclone like every 3-5c to get a offering. i just spam it on a whole map, cycloning from start to end. that way i keep refreshing ES for myself and all minions in radius, making them more tanky, its fits good for me, so even summoned vaal skels are survuving t14 map boss and after that i summom morph just there, and sometimes all skeles are able to survive at morph too for its duration. cause of that, i dont want to have a slow from using cyclone. and from what i see, its the only one boots which can negate slowing from using cyclone.
5. im using purity of elements, honestly this just mostly for minions and for overcap resists a bit, because if i hit a map with elemental weakness, which reduces my resists, ill not end up with 45-50%. i dont think that its good idea to run this, i just prefer safe playstyle, because at legion league, i played some squishy build and died a lot.
6. i dont use molten in gloves and im still not sure do i really what to have animated guardian.

How important is empower level 4 and what do we use if we don't have one? empower level 3? or different gem? Same for enlighten level 4, what do we use if we don't have? enlighten level 3 or different gem? Lastly, how important is clarity lvl 1 in an unset ring? These are the only major questions I have thanks for the help!

Also how much strength do you have, for reference to new players of the build.

what do I switch for chaos conversion with traids?

Use withering touch in 6L instead of Maim/Ruthless/Brutality, withering step instead of phase run, despair as curse.

Get grave intentions.

so just sell my triads?

Hold 'A' on your keyboard while you hover over the desecrate to see what mob you're targeting
