Another variation of this is to use beastcrafting to add prefix and remove random suffix which is a combination of step 3 and 6, is safer, and is much less than 1ex.

That is a very good point, it is definitely a good replacement for step 6.

However, I don't think it's a good replacement for step 3, because we want very specific mods for all 3 prefixes. At step 3, we don't have "Cannot roll attack modifiers" yet, so if we add a prefix there, it will probably be one that we don't want. So we'd have to annul it anyway, and risk removing minion damage.

Is it worth to have avian aspect in the weapon?

I'm going to use one of those new elderslayer exalted orbs instead of crafting avian aspect. I'm not sure which orb yet though.


I've updated the crafting guide that is found here:

If you're using fossils, get a weapon that is ilvl 75+. If you're using essences, ilvl doesn't matter.

The weapon doesn't need any influence, just a normal/magic/rare 2-handed sword/mace/axe. Buy it already 6-linked, they are cheap, like 10-20c. And get something that is easy to color with chromatic orbs. So if you're doing this build, probably a weapon with lower dexterity and higher strength requirements.

It should cost less than 11-12ex to craft it yourself, unless you're very unlucky. Essences will be cheaper than fossils, but you can't get max minion damage with essences.

The biggest costs are the crafting bench mods. "Cannot roll attack modifiers" (1ex), "Prefixes cannot change" (2ex), "Can have up to 3 crafted modifiers" (2ex), "+2 to level of socketed support gems" (2ex). That's a total of 7ex. The rest of it can be done for probably under 1ex, maybe 2ex if you're very unlucky. So probably 8-9ex total.

Been reading this and following it for a while - since meta started I think?

Having some great luck this league and enjoying the build a lot.

My rings and belt need some love, other than that I think I'm just about fully built? apart from awakened gems and the helm enchant.

The one issue I have is zombies on sirus fight. Is there any way to keep them alive or are skellies the only way to go?

The first time I fought Sirus I lost the fight because I was trying to resummon zombies who kept dying. Learned my lesson. Second fight I killed him by switching my zombie and skellies around. Zombies seem to just die real fast, skellies are easy to resummon. Fight was easy.

I do juiced up t16 maps and run zombies fine never lose a single zombie but I can't seem to keep them alive in sirus fight. Is it just too strong a fight for them? I have no problem switching to skellies for that fight I was just wondering if there's a way to use or not?

And any tips to improve my build/tree would be appreciated.
