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

So, I updated my CI setup ...

I Managed to run the 3 offensive auras in my chest :
Flesh & Stone linked with maim
Dread Banner for impale version / War banner otherwise
Pride

I did not use any "mana reserved" points to acheive this, but i'm using 3x jewel with "1% mana reserved" and an enchanted helmet with "Flesh and stone has 30% mana reserved.


Reaffecting saved "mana reserved" points on the tree makes me reach 2700 strength and 16.5K ES without strenght points on my weapon.

Here's the pob if anyone is interessted ...

And btw, I'm selling the same Lethal pride used in this build, which provides up to 15% increased srength and +40 flat stregth.

First time ever playing a summoner. I have a really silly question to ask and couldn't find an immediate answer. Going off of your tanky build, with aura's running on your chest. How do you find the mana to cast your zombies? Is there some mechanic I'm missing?

Do you remove an aura to cast zombies when you need them? Or do they just never die? Again, sorry for the silly question, its my first time playing a summoner. :) Btw, so far the build has been a blast!

there are 2 possible sollutions:

1. switching something, e.g. multistrike with blood magic and summon all your zombies, just dont forget to switch back afterwards
2. deactivate your auras temporarily and switch in a mana flask for the summoning process


you usually only have to do this once after starting up PoE, since they should not die if you follow the guide (life leech for zombies being quite helpful, either from passive tree, or from a jewel)

Greetings Exiles, sorry if i am a bit late to the party so to speak and if what i am going to ask as already been asked before, but is anyone that has 1k str and is using the geofri's sanctuary having life issues and being unable to heal back to 100%?

Its a visual bug. You are actually at max hp. Don't worry about it

Appreciate the reply but just visual? i have a bit of a doubt about that, i ran a map with Desecrated ground, dealt with the boss then tested it, got my visual max life to below 500 (my real max is nearly 6k) chugged enough flasks charges to get me back to 100%, assuming that the unrecoverable life is just visual, waited quite a bit just to make sure everything was in sync between client and server even if it didn't show i was at 100% life on my end, stepped on the Desecrated ground, instant death.

would anyone be able to tell if minion movement speed or minion increased damage would be better on the ring? only got 1 suffix left got to pick one of them.

There is a visual bug but desecrated ground is a different situation.

That ground effect deals chaos damage over time and wrecks most players b/c they are lacking in chaos resistance.

I highly recommend full timing soul of shakari minor pantheon b/c it dramatically reduces that damage taken, adds 5% overall chaos mitigation and provides immunity to poison which is also chaos DoT.

Desecrated ground is 1 of the few things that can damage you on this build if you arent playing in CI.

Great guide! How do you guys go about not being frozen?

Greetings Exiles, I did have the chance to farm some currency and would like to know which slot of my gear should I prioritize in upgrading. Maybe some of you can tell me which would make the biggest difference :)

Thanks for the quick response and duly noted!
