Any advice for the tree with skin of the lord? im triying to allocate nodes with increased mana, sockets for grand spectrum and minion damage.

I got my circle of nostalgia, now saving for lvl 21 raise spectre.

I would just keep everything the same, except use Dread Banner instead of Enlighten. It is hard to beat 10% MORE damage.

Alternatively you can save the passive points in the bottom center of the tree.

How's this build compare to skeletons? Do skeles clear faster/do better damage?
Also saw some baron skele/zombie mana guardians that look interesting just wondering how the clear speed / skele survivability is.

Would you say this is a good build for someone getting a bit tired of dieing? :p

Definitely.

I haven't gone CI yet and this will be my first build ever going CI.

I did notice that while I have ES and Life, burning ground, poison from the golden rule bypass ES completely.

Is this how it's going to work when I take CI? I mean, 1 hp and I'm going to constantly die from burning ground/poison stacks no?

I just found a Primeval Ruins at depth 172. I was able to summon some Stoneskin Flayers. Is there a difference between these and the ones at 250+ depth?

I have replaced Maim for awakened vicious projectiles, what would you then replace pierce for on single target? I was thinking possibly culling strike

Hypothermia is the biggest DPS boost for me so I use that for Sirus and Shaper where Pierce does nothing really. Elder and Uber Elder feel pretty bad without Pierce, so I keep it then.

FWIW I threw frost bomb into a CWDT setup for some extra dps/loss of enemy regen

To all the people complaining that its hard to level, just level as any basic summoner. I just ran skeletons and zombies for the longest time. I didn't even buy all of my other gems until I got into white maps. I ran around with 6 sockets empty because I didn't want to take the time to get everything. It was super easy mode.

I did this as well.

I had a summoner (which made 30 ex in currency so it was easy to get this one started up) so I had a bunch of stuff lying around.

Just use toxic rain initially until you can use ball lightning and switch in some life nodes which you can Respec into Mana later.

I tested a few high end maps even though I'm only 71 and it was a cakewalk only problem is my specs dying so I'll have to borrow from someone with deep delve tomorrow to fix that issue.

I was thinking of getting a cold-point dagger, then applying poison using cyclone. My question is, to apply EE, would added fire/lightning damage to attacks on a ring be sufficient to lower enemy cold res?

I have a level 94 summoner that did just fine on all fights (cept Sirius cuz that fight just keeps bugging out) and clearing stuff. For me clear speed is a little slower so far on HoAG but it's way more tanky.

I'm not done yet with gem optimizing on this new char though since I just switched to CI an hour or 2 ago. So far I like both. I think this HoAG will be better for bossing and such. I don't see this build clear t16 blighted maps which I did just fine on my skellies summoner.

I guess it depends on what you want. Just my opinion ofc.

ony poison and chaos dmg bypass ES, being CI means nothing that bypass your ES will effect you so you are fine. back when we would do low life builds insteado f CI we would use uniques that make poison don't bypass ES with CI you don't need any so don't worry about it.
