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

What would be the bosses that you prefer to de-summon animated guardian ? ( I have kingsmaker / gruhl pelt etc on him ) . I dont wanna lose him if i can avoid it.

Excellent build so far :( Just steamrolling content and facing no difficulties at all. I just feel bad about all the people saying this is not a league starter. It definitely is as I am elemental resist capped and do decent DPS with just the flollowing gear:

Baron 7 chaos Meginord vise - 1 vaal Tabula - 10 chaos , femur of the saints - 1 regal , Jewelers touch for weapon 18 c , the magnate -2 chromatic , 100 str amulet - 5c chaos, alberons 1 chaos and 2 high resist rings 10 chaos ea

The watchers eyes, timeless jewles, 6 link rafted weapon etc are end game goals and are unnecessary to succeed with the build at early mapping. I might start failing at red tiers but I did pretty well on starter gear . Rant over so I would like to ask some questions to help theorycraft improve the build


1. Im presently using blood and sand as my aura but since minions are doing chaos damage with grave intentions, withering step and spirit offering , wouldt summon skitterbots be better to increase dps with all damage types?

2. The recommended mod for Animated Guadian armor 10% life to es is also present on the passive grave intentions. Does it override that or do we get a total of 20% of life as es on guardian if we have both armor and node?

3. I can allocate my helm soon freeing up 7 points. I am thinking to invest on carrion glems by putting them in a 5 link with skellies on tabula and use the points for anima stone jewel socket and golem commander. I dont know how to calculate dps so will this help improve or not do much despite 7 point investment?

4. Does anyone know if empower works with awakened gems? My wet dream is to have awakenbed minion damage, added physical damage and multistrike with zombbies on the crafted weapon for insane deeps. The website just doesnt list values for awakened gems post level 5 and wonder if they scale above that level.

Thanks for the replies and keep the conversation and build improvement going guys :)

On what boots can I anoint Utmost Might on?

Guys, am I doing something wrong or does the single target for this build suck in 3.9? I'm lvl 90 and have just about everything OP listed he is running. I'm not using a rare crafted weapon which is probably better but I do have a 6L Queens Escape, all my gems are 20/20, I have a lvl 4 empower and I'm even running a 6L skeletons in my chest for extra single target. My animated guardian is geared up with best in slot. Once I got to red tier maps some bosses and especially some metamorphs take ages to kill compared to other builds I've played. Is this normal? Do I need to invest in more damage from my jewels? Do I need to drop the movement speed belt and boots and stack more str? I can't imagine taking on an end game boss considering a tier 12 metamorph is wrecking me.

Why do you stop Phase Run on lvl 16? I don't understand that.

Rare weapon basically doubles the dmg compared to a queen.

Guys, I am facing Sirius for 2nd time and I fail because I can't lure the clouds properly. Please, any tips or if there is a video which shows how to lure the clouds. Usually, I lure 1, everything is okay and when he started with the 2nd he is moving with the cloud... I don't understand how in most videos the cloud is separated from the boss.

I have yet to progress far enough to spawn Sirus, but here is a thread with video that may help;

If the 3 versions would be rated what would be best?
