Hello All! It has taken me a lot of time theory crafting and min/maxing to be able run the Saqawal's setup WITHOUT aul's amulet so I wanted to post my POB and gear so others could potentially save some time. My effective EHP is around 13,400 and I'm NOT using Purity of Elements Or Discipline. I'm also able to fit Flesh and Stone (blood stance) which is a very nice little bonus.
You'll notice I still don't have my Zombies at lvl 21 natively (I've lvld up 6 but failed at the corrupt so I'm leveling another 6 as we speak) So quite soon I'll have my 16th zombie.
Much of the gear is still expensive but I was able to snipe a few pieces quite cheap (Saqawal's for 3.5 ex) by scouring the trade site. Still you'll save 40+ ex by not getting/needing an Aul's amulet :)
Cheers and Gratitude to DanteTDH for the hours of time spent theory crafting with me.

I should state that the Aul's would have made life a lot easier as I'd prefer Not to run Resistances on Jewels...but...such is life.
Should also mention that I'm not amazing with PoB so do not follow the damage numbers as I have tweaked nothing except to click my potions as active..it is strictly for you to see my Passive tree <3
Hey, I run something close to this! It took me a while to figure out Avian. I use Flame Dash instead of Vaal Haste, just because (don't really need extra damage tbh).
I wanted to share this with you (and anyone else that might be interested):
https://pastebin.com/cHkMQpjg
This is my final theorycrafted version of the build, using Thread of Hope, pathing to Death Attunement, and allocating Charisma instead. I haven't switched yet (don't look at my character for it, I mean), since I'm holding out for a solid Lethal Pride with 5% strength on Holy Dominion to offset Thread of Hope.
Also, with a 15% Lethal Pride or a Brawn somewhere, I'd end up with 1800 strength for 17 zombies. You can also theoretically run 2-3 1% reduced mana reserved jewels instead of the cluster at the top right and path to some extra life or damage instead.
Definitely was planning on doing this if I got an Auls :) as I'll need the extra socket for brute force to maintain 1500 str. It seems i'm missing quite a bit of strength compared to your version...and I'm currently running x3 efficient trainings...Do you see any glaring mistakes i'm making? Thank you for posting this...

Can you let me know are all the mods on the watcher's eye required? or which ones are priority (or must haves)

Watcher's eye is not a must have.
However if you're going to get one, the two most useful mods are:
Gain x% of mana as extra energy shield while affected by clarity (adds about 1k+ ES)
And/or
Adds x% to chaos resistance while affected by purity of elements (to help with chaos resis if need be).

As for the purity of elements how do we benefit from it if we'er not running it on the dps/speed build? does one of our skills proc it?

I might be misunderstanding your question but Purity of Elements is a simple aura that grants elemental resistance. It does not need to be proced, you just turn it on.

How do you know which Elegant Hubris jewel to get? I have one, but it does 80% to minion life instead of damage. It is also the cadiro version.

Also, when PoB shows minion stats and dps, is that per zombie?!

Quick question about the specters. Can we choose which one we summon, and if so, how do i do it? Never used that skill before so I'm a newbie in that matter
No fun is allowed (GGG, 2020).

1)The way I do it, I set up a button to target corpses. Find out which button yours is in the options.
2)Find what spectre you want and target its corpse.
3) While targeting, use the skill.

Would there be any advantage to using Vaal Cyclone at any stage or is that actually a stupendously dumb idea? While it's activated, does it still count as channelling and trigger the usual gems?
The biggest downside I can see with this is sucking a whole heap of highly dangerous enemies right into your face. Add a nice detonate dead monster somewhere and it's good night!
This is what happens when a build is so good, you start looking at really silly things to do with it :)
