Cold ANIMATE WEAPON Summoner | League-Start & Leveling Guide

Animate weapon - Minion Damage - Elemental damage with attacks - Multistrike - Hypothermia - Added cold Damage = 687k dps

Animate weapon - Minion Damage - Elemental damage with attacks - Multistrike - Hypothermia - Melee physical damage = 741k dps

Is there a reason I shouldn't take melee physical damage? That's a 7.8% dps increase.

On a side note the highest possible dps I've found was

Animate weapon - Minion Damage - Elemental damage with attacks - Multistrike - Elemental Focus - Melee physical damage = 805k dps but the loss of elemental ailments makes it null.

Flask 2: Any DMG flask, i prefer a sulfur flask with a nice affix.

Can you talk more about this choice?

From my limited understanding, this flask does not work with our build.

The damage buff does not effect minions and we never stand around long enough to benefit from the ground effect.

If you are looking for something similar that will have a real effect on the minions, Bottled Faith is the one to choose, which is the Unique version of a Sulfur flask.

Sulfur flask could be useable during boss fights since they dont move much. You could create the consecrated ground for the extra crit. I wouldnt use one though. Quartz seems to be best option for me.

ah, yes I see, thank you.

I died in Simulacrum late but I could not do anything from that point on as I was never able to get my AW's back up before getting killed again when stepping through the portal.

Is there any trick to finding some space when re-entering the simulacrum when the bad guys are swarming and you have no AW's up?

Hello, I'm new to this game and to this build. I can't seem to figure out how to use Animate Guardian?

How does this build perform against reflect?

You would need to be more specific in your question, but check the Advanced section for advice on gearing the AG.

Against elemental reflect, badly. You can turn off the Hatred aura and remove Triad Grip gloves to get through it - which I've done several times. Typically easier to re-roll reflect maps though.

Hey Molok. Been playing the build as my league start. Still going strong, however, do you have any advice for next upgrades? Trying to craft the -9 cold resistance helmet, however, havent hit it with minion level yet.

Is Cloak of Tawm'R Isley a good item to use?
