Cold ANIMATE WEAPON Summoner | League-Start & Leveling Guide
|
@MoLoK13 Just wanna say a big thanks to you for this well-written guide, first time playing a summoner and its been a blast. This is gonna be my backup build for future leagues (fingers crossed GGG doesn't nerf anything)
All endgame bosses, simulacrum and 100% delirious T16 fully juiced is easy with this build. Just a tip for people who are thinking of playing this, don't let the clunky AW in early and midgame get to you, lategame is where it shines best, once your AW has alot more levels and mspd. The dps and tankiness just starts to rockets upwards |

This example is for those who really want to push this build to the maximum. I'd definitely recommend to swap shields on super lategame to use The Surrenderer with Lethal Pride jewel, It's a crazy layer of defence, especially if you manage to run 2 medium Cluster Jewels with Pure Might on them, which adds up to 80% block and stun recovery or simpy use Soul of The Brine King pantheon. You literally won't die. Did simulacrum almost fully being AFK. Also definitely consider switching to Bone Offering, instead of Flesh Offering, it's definitely worth it to sacrifice some of the DPS for another layer of defence. (75% to block phys and spell dmg with Sanctuary and Mystic Bulwark nodes) https://pastebin.com/cWc0MviE (thanks to CantripN who edited my PoB a bit and helped me out) ;) Last edited by VECTĒVSONFIRE#6970 on May 3, 2020, 1:49:35 PM

You didn't do the cold res correctly, though ;)
POB calculates the curse on it's own, you only need to add things like the -cold res helmet the AG has, and Elemental Army (so either -19, or -20, depends what helm he has). Also, you should add Culling Strike, 50% Crit Multi, 100% Crit Chance, and Arena Master to the DPS manually. Your DPS with all that is about 40 mil with Flesh Offering :D I think this is the most accurate POB for your version with infinite money: https://pastebin.com/szgrA8yB (multiple gems and items, not sure what to remove, can sort if you want). This is mine with the gear I actually have: https://pastebin.com/wK3NVVs8 46 mil dps, 7358 Life, 17.6% MoM. 51 mil with A. Multistrike if I get one. No Block though, so less tanky imo overall.

Ty for pointing this out, I calculated that, because of my lvl 8 frostbite and my AG has ele weakness 12 gloves + (-9 cold res helmet). That's how I calculated -51.
I don't think pob includes my AG, so if we take lvl 12 ele weakness, which is -31, right? And -9 cold res helmet, which sums up to 40 already from AG. |

" For bosses, Ele Weak 12 is a lot less. Add it to your gloves to see exactly how much instead of adding it as -res. And you also have Elemental Army on some of your minions, that's another -10. I actually gave you an incorrect POB for yours, since you're saying you don't use Crown of the Tyrant on your AG? So it's a bit less dps.

" Any chance you could point out where to place the timeless jewel on the skill tree ? |
|
" Is there a way to see the buff in your buff bars? |
|
" Top-left corner of the skill tree there's a Large Jewel Socket, place it there, It's next to Avatar of Fire. Last edited by VECTĒVSONFIRE#6970 on May 3, 2020, 12:15:25 PM

" Nope, there's no buff icon for it However, you will know the Arena Master is activating the buff when you hear him banging his shield |
