Hi, what do u recomend to start IF AW will be bad? Just wont lose so much time playing in lotery. Maybe AW will be good around 50+ lvl? What to use then before this "lvl"?

Hi fellow summoners, I've played pretty much summoners all my life once I know how lazy I am to press buttons.
Last league I played a Slave Drivers + Skellies with Triad Grip lightning conversion summoner. This league I'd like to replace Skellies with AW, however I'm looking to replace Slave Drivers with a physical mobbing spectre. Anyone here knows if Risen Vaal Advocate(physical) with Hatred works? The reason for having mobbing spectres on helmet is for greater QoL as I strongly feel that AW is only needed for bosses whereas Spectres are so innately strong u can walk thru T16 mobs without even stopping. I am fully aware I will lose support spectres such as host chieftains, does any1 have any idea which Spectre works with Hatred + Concentrated Effect(since I'm making a pseudo 6 link spectre elder helm)? Thanks in advance. |

" I'll try answering. Physical scales Impale. Which is a very good multiplier. However ever since GGG implemented Impale, they silent nerfed it by stacking a lot more armour on bosses. Cold Iron Point daggers is the defacto weapon for physical, leveraging it we lose some QoL of autocasting Bladefall thru a desecrate trigger wand. Phys reflect maps will be slightly annoying to deal with. The cost of Phys is basically losing quality of life and potentially a shield if you choose to dual wield daggers for damage. Elemental conversion scales with Triad Grip and Hatred. Most bosses have a flat 40% elemental resist which can be easily reduced to 0. We also gain access to the overpowered keystone Elemental Equilibrium. Ele reflect maps is going to be a pain to deal with. The cost of going Ele is basically sacrificing glove slot(using 4 green sockets is not hard) and having a 50% reserved aura but being able to wield a wand and shield. |

" Keyen, after seeing the gem and patch notes, what you recon Phys - Impale or cold conv for AW as a starter? |

" This is an excellent summary. Thank you! It will be really interesting to see which one comes out better in POB if and when we get the full update. Am I correct in saying that the key to the damage output may hinge on how much better AW scales when at Level 23/26 with the help of 1 or 2 CIP's?

Does Animate Weapon have different aggro mechanics from other summons? I know FF got nerfed but if aggro mechanics work like other summons it sounds really annoying for clear speed/blighted maps to not run it.
