Hi Wod and gang. Loooong time PoE player here but switched over to console. First time doing Minions and following your guide for my groundwork. Doing SSF and after some amazing early success the build is FINALLY starting to slow down as I start doing yellow maps. I feel like I have stretched my offense too wide and will be switching to your same CWDT set up. I was lucky enough to craft two 5l's.

What does everyone think about a 5th slot for skeletons? Maim seemed like my best bet?

Great build. I'm using very similar one.

Question about this 2 setups 'when dmg taken'.


Lvl 1 one of this gem(Cast when dmg taken) can support gems with max of 38lvl required.

Its simple with desecrate and spirit offering. But what about 'slow motion' setup. Does Enfeeble and Curse on hit support need <38lvl or only lightning ball and i can exp Enfeeble/COHS to max lvl? Cast when dmg taken is linked just to ligtning ball or all 3 gems?

Thx and have fun!

Spoiler

Still love the build idea, but I could also use some feedback.

I have around 4k health and 700 ES at lvl 87, which feels decent most of the time, but I got one shot twice in last labyrinth phase.

I found this amulet, which seems perfect. It gives missing stats, improves both auras, gives chaos resist. I decided to switch out elemental army for spectres, so the amulet gives me effectively 10% damage reduction.

I'm still unsure about the spectres. I'm running chieftains for charges right now, but it does not seem to work so great. Maybe because of the multistrike. Are there any good spectre candidates to increase the frost damage? I also saw some other guys use blood magic, so the spectres can spam their skills. Think this would benefit the zombie slam as well?

I also considered using a channeling setup instead of CWDT. If I put lightning damage on the weapon, I can skip arc or ball lightning. But since I did not finish the last labyrinth, I'm not profiting from the offering anyway. Since guard skills lock the bone armour, are there other good options beside the phase run to increase defenses?

You are using to many unique's. You are running into the noob trap of Unique's are great. Do not worry we have all been there.

How many is too many? I use some, but only where they give specific bonus. I love these for example, although I might exchange the boots if I find something with even better run walk speed.

Hey aUbz705!

I love console. I hope you're enjoying it. Good job making changes as "walls" come up. 2 5-links in SSF is awesome! Way to go! Maim is great for skeletons, but it also depends on what you use them for. If you use them frequently, Maim is great to slow down your opponent. Multistrike or Melee Physical are all offence but work well too. Others have mentioned boosting their "RF" as well with Burning Support, Combustion...things like that.

Thanks for the post! Great job on SSF!

Hello. Been playing with this zombie build for 100h+ this league, having a lot of fun. Recently I found this weapon:

I wonder if it makes the zombie build overall better or worse? Would like some input from more seasoned players about this item. ^^

You know those stories about people who win millions in the lottery and blow all the money right away? Whelp, that's me in Wraeclast. I had an exalted drop the other day and just bought me a snazzy hat with it...

Seeing as this headgear has minion life and minion damage built right in, I find myself with a couple of free sockets to play with now. So my question for Wrecker (or anyone else, feel free to weigh in!) is what should I put into the two sockets that I have freed up? I'm thinking combustion support for one socket. What should I put in the other? All suggestions welcome. (with the exception of "go f*ck yourself")



edited to add: I just popped in a summon phantasm support for kicks and it looks like the infernal legion support works on the phantasms too. Not 100% sure since the screen is pretty crowded and it's hard to tell. Still, if it does apply... how cool is that!!? So here's my second question - do minion-oriented support gems that are linked to a summon phantasm gem apply to the phantasms as well?
