Hi, great guide! This is my second league and learning so much.
2 questions/issues.
1. I have avatar of fire and EE. I thought that meant no matter which skill my necromancer uses, it will hit as fire, but I have noticed mons get resist cold which obviously means my frost sentinels, SRS and zombies will do less damage. Does that mean my summons are hitting before I am. Is that the trick? My necromancer need to hit mobs first ALL THE TIME?

EDIT: Actually, I think it is okay now. Hmm... haven't seen a mon in map with cold resist yet but I did the other day.

2. I use PoB community but when I use your link I can only see your skill tree. The items and other tabs are empty. Any reason why I am seeing it like that? I remember seeing it all there once but now it is gone.

Thanks again! :D

A monster can still have cold resistance if their resistance after all reductions is still above 0%. Some monsters have 75% cold/elemental resistance, which means unless you use Frost Bomb, EE will not be enough to remove all their resistance.

Note: It's impossible for your minions to apply EE.

Hmm, no sure why it's like that. I will be updating the build to use normal PoB soon, however, and I'll make sure to check that items are properly exported as well. :)

Hi has anyone tested out the Snowcaller specters? It seems like they will do more damage, but not 100% sure.

I haven't tried them, but looking at their stats, I think they will do slightly more poorly, due to having longer cast times on their spell off cooldown, which does only a little more damage per hit than frost sentinels' spells. Snowcaller does come with a few cooldown spells, but I doubt it's enough to outweight the loss of speed on their primary attack. We get a ton of cast speed multipliers from Spell Echo, passive skills and Unending Hunger, which does nothing for spells that are limited by a cooldown, unfortunately, hampering their usefulness significantly.

But they are certainly viable and build well with phantasms, and probably performs about the same. So if you prefer Snowcallers to Frost Sentinels, you can cerntainly go a head an use those instead.

Hello, Can Some1 explain how Elemental Equilibrium works for this build. And why don't you have Avatar of fire in your POB?

We apply EE using Kinetic Bolt to benefit our minions, so we should deal elemental damage of any type other than that of our minions (cold, most likely).

Our minions cannot apply EE, so they gain the full benefit while we receive the full penealty, which is ideal.

Avatar of Fire is only necessary if we deal cold damage without it. Kinetic Bolt deals no elemental damage unless added. So if we can add lightning or fire damage to our attacks, without adding cold from gear, we do not need Avatar of Fire to apply EE correctly.

So If I get fire and lightning damage to attack with my jewelry or rings will it work correct?

And what about frostbomb?

Fire or lightning damage will be enough, otherwise yes.

Frost Bomb will caues a bad EE but applies exposure that does not get removed when you apply a good EE momentarily.

Without Frost Bomb, you will apply -50% to cold resistance.

With Frost Bomb, you will apply 0% to cold resistance (+25% EE and -25% exposure) for a fraction of a second, then -75% to cold resistance.

Could someone take a look at my character and let me know what the best item to upgrade next is? still missing the expensive jewel as the price just keeps going up

Also lacking a +1 wand or +1 boots, my gems should all be 20 soon and hopefully can corrupt a 21 otherwise im gona purchase a 21 spectre

I have 2 ex to spend atm but no idea what my next priority should be in terms of purchase.

Thanks :)
