Bought 2nd +1/+1 wand today, would say cluster jewels + wands biggest improvement in damage for this build. Finished up Simulacrum today without many issues, feel like build definitely better for Sim/farming shaper/Elder than fast mapping. Feels strange that I spent 15ex on wands and just a few chaos on rings, so guess it's time to upgrade the rest of my items, before I store up some ex to roll for +2 duration chest (gave up after whiffing 10 corrupts, realized I need to corrupt about 100 before it hits)

hi what's your health sitting at? Do you have difficulty surviving the last sim waves? I may try some of them. I'm sitting at 5.4k or something HP at level 92. Profile is open if you wanna peek.

Any tips on what to improve next ? Feels that my minion damage is still quite low even though it can tank and kill conquerors but slowly. Currently only have about 1ex to spend. Bought a large cluster jewel and now im broke to buy anymore.

I can help you a bit, firstly ditch your helmet and get a +2 to socketed minion gems one instead with better stats, like health and resist that you need. You're not yet at the point where that +1 to your zombies and AG from the +3 helmet would really help you over having more health and stats. Also ditch your golem in your helmet for Feeding Frenzy support, it's more damage. Put the golem in an unset ring if you really want the golem, but freeding frenzy is probably like a 8-10% damage increase where the golem is maybe a 2-4%

Next up and actually one of the biggest things for survivability is your jewels. You have a random cobalt jewel in your tree that is only giving your minions life, replace that with a abyss jewel with atleast 20+ life and some minion attack speed. The big things you need though are minions taunt on hit and blind on hit, so with replacing that cobalt jewel get one of the two abyss jewels I'll link and replace one of your current abyss jewels with again one of the two I'll link.

If you really wanna push some more life out of the build, before you get a +2 duration chest, you can get another chest with 120+ max life and crafted % life like the one I currently have(I paid like 25c? for this chest 2 weeks ago so).

I also notice you have a 1/1 wand, which costs prob around 8-10ex, so you obviously know how to make a little money. In that case get yourself the thread of hope jewel(medium so you can grab the cruel preperation and ravenous horde notables.) and timeless doryani jewel. The timeless jewel with around 5.5k life will give you probably around 1.5k es giving you 7k eHP. You'll feel much safer with that. I myself am at 6k life with a 1.8k es for 7.8k eHP

Sell your melee splash support and buy awakened melee splash support, its basically a small free upgrade. On top of that, after you fix everything else I'd suggest getting Awakened melee physical damage support with %20 quality for your next big upgrade cause it is a legit 10% damage boost even with the gem at level 1. After that get the rest of your awakened gems (generosity/minion damage/elemental damage) before you upgrade your trigger wand, it will be cheaper and a decent damage boost once you level them up.

Your medium cluster jewel only has renewal on it, replace it with one that has renewel AND blessed rebirth, I CANNOT STRESS how good blessed rebirth is. Not only is it a huge damage increase, because your skeles stay at 100% life longer for double damage, but its also a MASSIVE quality of life as your skeles stay alive MUCH longer and you can really benefit from the frenzy charges your spectres give(btw I changed my spectre setup to Arena master and 3x Carange chieftains, the 3 apes give my skeles max frenzy charges imediately so newly summoned skeles get them fast. Way better than have 1 or 2 frenzy charges and 1 or 2 power charges imo).

I think one of your wands its screwing over your EE btw, I can't confirm because your brand is in your other wand and I'm not too familiar with how it all works cause I don't normally play spell based builds. I'd hover over your brand skill and see if it mentions cold damage at all.

I didn't list the things in any order of priority btw, so just go over what sounds good to you in here. Although I would change that cluster jewel firstly you will notice a difference, at least I did.

TY so much for the detailed reply ive upgraded things accordingly. I'm sitting at 6088 life now and 272ES. What about those jewels you mentioned? The timeless one / doryaian one? I googled them and couldn't understand how they worked.

You get a doryani timless jewel and you place it bellow pain attunment in a jewel socket.

The jewel will change the small nodes to random stats and more importantly it will change the Pain Attunment to Corrupted Soul .


So basically you get a Glorious Vanity with the Doryani bath, and you will get instead of Pain Attunment the Corrupted Soul node.

"Corrupted Soul is a keystone passive skill which causes 50% Non-Chaos damage taken to bypass Energy shield and grants 20% of Maximum Life as Extra Maximum Energy Shield. "

Which will give you 20% of your maximum life as Energy shield.

50% of the non chaos damage will bypass Energy Shield, but it doesn't matter cuz 50% will be taken from energy shield. Which is a boost.

Thanks I added you to give you a tip in game if you do want it. What is the "bathed in ####" numbers on these too? Higher = better ?
