I can't believe what I just found in Delve:

That is even possible? I just need to remove the defense mod, add life and they are good boots for my spectres (which are socketed in the boots).

This build is really a good Delver. Thanks to Meat Shield you just keep following the lorry, surrounded by a horde of zombies that protect you and kill everything around.

Managed to annul an armor/ES modifier with Harvest crafting, so now I got +1 Skellys/Zombies. BIIIG damage increase.

Dropped Bone Offering for Tempest Shield and crafted +5 chance to block on my actual shield. Taken as written this build lacks a strong endgame defensive layer so I'm trying to get Chaos Res to 0 at worst and stacking block chance.

Wrecker, I am moving on to a new character now.

I just wanted to express my thanks again for creating such a nice build and fostering a friendly community here.

I will check in from time to time on this thread to see if I can answer some questions.

I had an absolute blast with the build and it was the second highest level I ever achieved!

And good luck to all slow moers!!!

Out of curiosity, what does Tempest Shield give you that Bone Offering doesn't?[/span]

Hey Slow Mo'ers

Looking for a little help. I'm struggling a little with this build. Just got all my first watchstones and moving into yellow maps. Here are my primary struggles:

1. Clear - when there are a ton of monsters seems like I have to spend a ton of time in the area to get them cleared. Example I can rarely get the stone passage stones in the temple incursions so I completed the first temple but have yet to get one open enough to get to the top again.

2. I still seem to get one shot often (part of this is the clear speed so there is so much on the screen it's hard to see where to avoid. Also I'm on the PS4 which with full screens can get super laggy.

3. I try to stay out of the packs, but my zombies are always near me due to the meat shield. Should I get rid of that and if so what would be a good replacement? It causes me to shield charge through packs to get them involved.

Hoping for some advice on...what gear should I focus on changing. I'm using Redemption Sentry for spectres would there be something better? (I was using Slave Drivers). My profile is open, but here is my paste bin as well.

Hey RSCCCC! This build does go towards the idea of defence vs. offence. But I've found that clear speed, though I'd like it to be faster as well, isn't my issue for survivability (though I get the faster things die, the safer). Here This is my last play session with the build. I'm in T14+ maps and there's an A7 Al-Hazim fight. See if there's anything different with how I play vs. how you play. It could simply be that this style of play doesn't match your style.

The build revolves around being in the middle of combat a lot. So having 4000 life is pretty low. So focus on getting your life rolls much much higher.

Fully ascending will be big help as well. Once you pick Mistress of Sacrifice you'll feel a lot more comfortable in the middle of packs.

Another thing that will help with both damage and survivability is getting a 5 link (or a six link). The game really takes off when you add those extra links.

Obviously gear upgrades come with the RNG of drops so be patient. But your current life rolls and such won't have you going to much further until your gear is improved in that regard.

But take a look at the video. If that clear speed is too slow for you, you'll want to make some changes to the guide. If not, you'll enjoy the survivability. (I don't think I used Fortify once in that session.)

Thanks WoD

I've improved my life a bit and some of my gear. Still looking for a 5 or 6 link. Lacking currency to purchase. Just running the lower maps for a bit, but I did finally kill the second wave of conquerors so I have 8 watchstones now. I shifted a few gems around which helped too I think. I can't wait to find the last lab so I can get my final ascendancy. This is only my second league and last league I played ED-Contagion so I may just need to adjust my playstyle, sitting in the middle of the pack just seems dangerous to me. I'll watch the vid and hope it gives me some insight. I know from your podcast you are a console player too....is this build laggy as heck with full screen of monster? Sometimes I jump all over the screen and sometimes I end up with the dreaded ...where do you want to resurrect :(

Thanks for the fun build and great notes! I'm enjoying my little army :)

I'm at 10 Zombies right now, but that's with a helmet craft and level 25 skill gem. Is crafting/buying an Elder amulet the only way to get another zombie?
