TLDR: I'm flexing my gear on std :). Thanks again for sharing ur build guide dude, it's a blast.

always happy to see guys like you having fun with my builds <3

I love this build and have been playing around with adding even more minions.

I have vaal skeleton on the wand with trigger socketed spell (after desecrate and offering, so I summon skeletons as I cast ball lightning). On bosses I hit the vaal button. They are not linked with any support gems but I have plenty minion damage buffs. The added minions help proc blind and taunt on hit. The Vaal button is just plain awesome too!

Then I took the 2x curse skill tree slot. I use lv5 vulnerability on hit and enfeeble from 1 of my spectres. (I want to get the 2nd curse from gear corruption but don't have it yet)

Spectres are 2x carnage cheiftans, 1x host chieftan, 1x diabloist

Also use 2x golems from skill tree (stone and carrion).

The stone golem is linked with meat shield along with animate guardian for fortify and movement speed.

The carrion golem is on the helm with blood magic, zombies, spectres. I am in the process of crafting a elder bone helm with +1 sentinels. Right now I have an elder helm with +1 sentinels and +2 gems. I am still testing the best combo for my other two prefixes (minion life gems, minion damage gems, or max life for myself).

I kept CWDT + convocation, and in a solo socket I have flame dash.

My only complaint is random 1 shots from metamorphs - but from what I've read this is an issue with many builds.

Let me know how you like it, it's a lot of fun!

For the mana reservation craft on the helm (along with the other goodies), do you need to have all 3 bound, pristine, and dense? I want that now!

It's awesome with the skeletons dude thx for the idea. That vaal button feels like an ult lul.

Yes best fossil combo is by order of priority:
Bound - Pristine - Dense
The mana reservation was just a coincidence

Careful tho, don't expect to hit it quick, it's a high crafting cost. And make sure it's a ilvl86+ elder helmet otherwise +3 socketed mod not possible.

Not sure what ur build is like now, but if u dropped vitality like i did, u can take Sovereignty 3-node cluster instead of Combat Stamina's. try and see if that's enough to remove a Blood magic or 2.

I also bought and enchanted 2 helmets before I crafted mine on an enchanted elder ilvl86+ base.



But then I had to get that sentinel enchant, so I said fuck it and went for it.
Beast Corona is also really good for our build with that enchant.

I only bring out my sentinels for bosses now, 10 zombies - 10 skellies - 4 specters and 1 AG are clearing T16 maps ez.

Any reason why not Ruthless instead of Feeding frenzy?

Aside from the coloring nightmare ofc..

PoB shows a huge dps boost with Ruthless

feeding frenzy makes your horrible AI minions into war machines. this support is a must have of most minion builds because it makes them aggressive instead of passive

+2 will get me level 25 for the extra zombie and spectre. Is the boost from the extra level of all those minions significant? I didn't know +3 was not possible on ilv85 (there is so much to learn in this game haha!). If so I will have to buy ilv86 elder bone helmet base to craft with since the one I have is 85.

This is the base I was going to labyrinth fossil and then finish crafting with. It is only ilv85

With a Bone Helmet, I think +2 levels is more than enough as long as u're able to get 10 zombies. Given that ilvl86+ elder bone helmets are 10ex+ uncrafted.

Best way is to use PoB and compare +3 to +2. On my pob this represents about 4.4% dps difference.

Also, as it is currently, ur bone helmet is very decent for our build since zombies are technically only extra dps and taunt chances for our build. So it would be ok not to spend more on crafting it.

Sentinel enchantment has way more impact that +3 lvl. I suggest u wait for a short lab day.

Remember that this is a "luxury" addition to the main build, and that it's not really needed even for Sirus. So spend ur currency wisely and have fun exile :)
