In other minion builds I have made, I have found that having convocation under my self casting helps to control and organize the minions when they flair out. Is this feature of convocation not really needed with AW? This could be left to personal preference. Personally I like the idea of my cluster of AW spawning on top of whatever mobs are trying to hit me. If you preferred to cast the spell manually, could have it unlinked instead. Yup but sometimes it will convoke at the wrong time when you are being hit by a white or even a rare when you are fighting a boss. And they just aggro away from the boss.

Then they just one shot the white mob and move back to the boss pretty much instantly. . .	Posted by aWildOzzy#5590 on Mar 11, 2020, 9:24:50 PM Quote this Post
I guess I will try the convocation both ways. It is easy enough to link and unlink to test. Sometimes when I am opening a box that has some sort of explosive damage, I like to move a way and convocate to get my minions out of harms way, or when in the lab I don't want them stuck in a saw getting chopped in half, I can yank them to safety.

It's a pretty massive improvement! oh goodie!!!! :) Thank you so much for your work on the build guide, I am so excited to try something new this league.

Anyone building this for HC? Any changes you are making?	Posted by Eakrich#2757 on Mar 11, 2020, 9:48:56 PM Quote this Post

Build is going to be almost exactly the same as the main skellie/srs ssfhc builds. Obviously giving up a lot of damage, and not using the triad grip, but with the damage buff to aw, I don't think it will be needed.

What about Melee Splash? Good for AW?	Posted by endlesscheng#1987 on Mar 11, 2020, 10:26:24 PM Quote this Post
What do you socket in green sockets on the unique gloves since you require 4 green sockets for a full cold conversion?	Posted by Streetster#2123 on Mar 11, 2020, 10:44:36 PM Quote this Post
Ok, did some playing around and I gotta agree with OP. I can't figure out a way to get phys Impale even close to the damage of 100% cold conversion... I wish the difference wasn't this huge. Would prefer to go phys Impale, simply because we lose a glove slot and have to use 4 green sockets in some way when we go cold. But it looks like cold conversion is the way to go.
