Baron builds are tough to do. And some times expensive to do.
Hi Peleus - thanks for the info. This would be for non-league SSF. Ideally, I'd like to hit the 1000 mark. So far I have the Baron, the Warpath boots, Meginord's Vice gloves for 100 Str, and the Magnate Belt (which helps with my resists). I just found a 4% brawn jewel, but haven't put it in, yet. With some strength on gear, I've gotten to 500 strength.
Since it's SSF it's going to be a long haul for finding items.
Really, though I'm asking about a higher-level take on the build. The poe vault build has me casting freeze pulse to apply elemental equilibrium and elemental weakness. Then there is applying death mark. And that's on top of the basic bone shield, summoning skeletons and popping vaal skeletons. Very different from Wrecker's "stress-free" style.
I sent you a PM about your build.
Let me know if you have more questions.
Personally the build is not very efficient.
Looking at the passive tree there are at least 10 nodes that I would change.
These could be used to give you more Strength and or more Minion Life or Minion damage.
I am not sure what else to tell you really.
Is there a specific question you had at all or just a general question on how the build works later.
Well, it was good while it lasted, but I've found that, with 3.9 Metamorph, this build does not have the DPS or the tankiness needed to beat the higher tiers.
I leveled with it but hit a brick wall with bosses like Al-Hezmin (with 4 watchstones).
I am now finding high-tier bosses and maps much, much easier.
After converting to the Pure Phys Skeletons build, I beat Al-Hezmin deathless, after having died to him 5 times using Slow-Mo Zombies.
Anyway, thanks for the build, but I've had to move on :-(
Hey Bunnios,
Thanks for giving the build a try. This is the 3.8 version though. This guide was updated for 3.9: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2687589. I appreciate the feedback nonetheless. If you play again with the 3.9 version of the build, let me know how it goes.

Woops, posted in the wrong thread. Point still stands for 3.9.
Thanks for the honest feedback Bunnios.

I'll be publishing my 3.9 example video in about an hour. You'll see BL going off often enough in the video. So even though some of these may be obvious, try double-checking the following:
1) Make sure CwDT stopped levelling at gem level 1.
2) Make sure Ball Lightning is a gem level of 4 or lower.
3) Make sure they're linked. (I know it seems obvious. But I've made that mistake more than once...)
4) Do you have any other CwDT links that you've added that aren't in the guide?
If that didn't fix things, let me know and I'll take a look at your character.
My character is public :)
I as well implemented Flame Dash recently for qol in maps.
Hey martyl48!
I see you've removed Ball Lightning from your build now. Sorry I couldn't respond until now.

As always a solid build that is playable to end game
I changed mine up to push more chaos damage now and to build chaos resist for minions (grave intentions nodes) added withering touch to minions, withering step for movement and despair aura which adds roughly 80% additional chaos damage to minion attacks from the physical dps of minions
I love the versatility of these minions builds as they all rotate around the same 80% core of passive points 😁
@wrecker love the builds, love the podcast too, fantastic ambassador for this great game, a huge thanks for all you do
Merry christmas all and ofc... Zombie on!
Thanks 0nyX!
Nice modifications! Chaos damage is always such fun. Thanks for such kind words and encouragement! The podcast is getting to be really fun and a lot more natural. We're pretty new at it so we'll get there.
Zombie on.

Sorry I couldn't respond earlier but julus responded perfectly. And explained it well in a following post as well. If you have any questions regarding it or anything else, feel free to ask.

I'm not playing SSF, but am still too broke to go about buying stuff. In fact, real broke in game right about now.(arcanist strongboxes are a slot machine that eats chaos orb. Bad news.)
But I have been lucky with metamorph drops. First, I got this around level 52 or so from a creampuff metamorph:
(in case the link didn't work, it's an abyssal jewel with these mods:)
Spoiler
--------
Minions have 6% increased Attack Speed
Minions have 6% increased Cast Speed
Minions Regenerate 0.5% of Life per second
Minions deal 5 to 7 additional Cold Damage
Minions deal 2 to 4 additional Physical Damage
--------
And now, I just got this necrolicious doodad from a mean bastard that killed me for my troubles...
I think I like it, but so many questions!
Should I keep and use it? Anyone care to weigh in on how this weapon might fit in with Wrecker's build? Does using this and putting my skellie gems in it mean that I can swap out the infernal legion gem for something else? Is there anything about this weapon's stats that will interfere with the build mechanics?
Nice jewel Foogalicious!
Your weapon works well with the build. It acts a little differently than Infernal Legion as it doesn't give your skeletons a mini "RF". It also stacks with Infernal Legion. So you could have your skeletons die faster if you wanted to.
And Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks again Wrecker, this build is very fun, stress free and great for this dangerous league.
I can finally start playing this league a bit more now that the holidays are coming to a close. The time I've invested is great so far. The zombies hit hard. The skeletons melt trash. Vaal skeletons wreck those dangerous metamorphs. I don't even have Hatred setup yet. Soon!
I did tweak the build a bit to give myself slightly more hands on control. I manually dual curse with Ball Lightning. Carnage Chieftain specters for extra damage. Flame Dash for zipping around when needed. Discipline for extra protection.
Metamorphs. As I said previously, Vaal skeletons are a blessing. I find myself a corner, or barrier to put between myself and the metamorph. I swap Ball Lightning for Orb of Storms and drop it on the metamorph canister which causes the boss to be cursed while I'm an entire screen away. I swap Infernal Legion for Item Rarity to increase my odds (also so the Vaal skeletons don't explode before making the kill). I activate the metamorph, pop Vaal skeletons, haul myself out of harms way. The Vaal skeletons demolish the metamorph in seconds and I smoothly walk in to pick up the juicy loot afterwards.
Wraeclast is a dangerous, unforgiving place. This build minimizes the danger and helps me keep my sanity.
That's a very kind post Abattoir!
I'm happy to hear the build has done so well for you. I hope you got tons of playing time during holidays. It's always awesome when your own personalizations work out really well.
If you have any suggestions or advice for the build/guide, please let me know.
Thanks for your encouragement!

Hi Wrecker - I know you make your builds for whatever gear drops and don't follow uniques, but here's something I'd like to ask you about.
I found The Baron helmet in SSF, and I'd like to make a build around it. (I've always thought it was an interesting concept.) I've been following a build on www.poe-vault.com, but it's... too busy.
So I'm curious how you would go about a strength-stacking zombie build.
Hey CelticHound!
Always a pleasure.
The Baron is a REALLY strong unique. But it requires a TON of investment. It really requires a build to revolve around it. So, unfortunately, there isn't a way to incorporate it into this build and have all of the Baron's mods function.
It'd have to be a completely separate build. You'd need jewels that increase Strength, unique gear that improves strength, and you'd have to go south on the tree instead of North. I'd even likely start as a Guardian instead for the Ally perks.

Hi Wrecker, just wanted to say I got it rolin again and I haven't even looked at the guide yet! She is a terror right off the beach and just keeps getting stronger! Using my beloved Arc and SRS totems w/skeletons/zombies and loving life!
I love to play around until I get those CWDT gems!
Just a little girl, but growing up fast!
Found this on trade, I think the only better jewel would be cannot be hindered or corrupted blood. Found it on Christmas! It was Merry!! This was 1 chaos!
Can't use it til 48, but it will be a sweet birthday present!
Dwaine just destroys metamorphs as we head to maps soon, my chaos archer spends 90% of her life invisible... life is great on all fronts!
Looks like they made some PS4 improvements. I couldn't do 3rd lab, 4 blue screens in a row and now after patch I ascended easy!
Great to be back along for the ride, lovin your witch as always!
Just tried the lab at lv28, I don't recommend this unless you truly know this lady! I also get ALL darkshrines. Izaro thinks I'm awesome, and now I am a real NECROMANCER!! Came out of lab at lv 33 as well! Got some sweet armor from GGG Christmas present as well!
Zombie on kids...
Ha ha! Hey GrunkleBob! Good post. I'm glad you and Dwaine are loving it. It's so fun to have someone to play PoE with as much as you want to. You two seem to tackle the game well together. Thanks for your encouragement as always. I like the updates.

Thank you for an awesome build Wrecker, I´ve been using this build primarily roughly since the game was launched on PS4. :)
It´s really fun to play with xD
Anyone got any thoughts for good anointments?
Feels like either Gravepact (5% chance for double damage) or Fearsome Force, or Decay Ward are good options to beef up the Zombies even further.
Otherwise Heart of the Warrior to beef up your own life?
Options Golem's Blood or Herbalism maybe?
Zombie on!
Hey Zophael83!
That's awesome! Thanks so much. I'm glad you like it!
For anointments, I like Golem Commander. Having a second golem would be awesome. But all the nodes you mentioned are great too. It's nice when you don't need an anointment to function. You can pick the one you want instead of one you need.
Thanks for the kind words :).
ZOmbie on.
