Hey, thanks to both for the reply and the useful advice! Yeah I should work on finding another armor, as for the helmet, it wasn't easy already finding a decent one with a free prefix, but who knows?
I guess this league does not have much time left, so I should hurry because who knows what and how much of Harvest crafting will pass on to Standard?
I forgot to mention that I added Holy Relic to my build, especially to improve the speed of my minions and it seems to work fine, of course on an Unset ring. I probably need to reach at least 5k hps and 2k+ for higher maps, I remember on the tier 9 I did good but also risked death quite a few times.
Thanks again!


You don't need to find a better armour... you can easily improve the one you have.

Use this orb to get rid of all the affixes:


Since life is the most important you want on your armour, you could either use an essence like this:



or a fossil:



Or use the crafting from Harvest with guaranteed life affix.

If you want to play around with your helmet you could do the following:

This sphere to erase all it has now:



Turn it into a magic helmet:



spam
till you get + 2 to minion gems.

Now you can either gamble and add a second affix (if there isn't one already) by using


or you can directly turn it into a rare item with


If you are lucky it has received a suffix and not a prefix. If yo are unlucky... back to the start :)

Now you can add + Minions/Skeletons.

In the next step hope for Harvest to give you "add life affix to an item" (it's the yellow seeds, tier 1 is sufficient to get this).

Good luck and have fun!
Overwhelmed by Path of Exile? You might want to have a look at Wrecker_of_Days' beginner-friendly guides. One-click-wonders that do not require any specific items to conquer the campaign and the Atlas: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2606288/page/1

Spoiler alert: TIL dont do T16 Vaal Temple map. The bosses eat all minions FAST, AG included. Kiss that kingmaker goodbye :(


I totally feel you... that's so hard... very sorry for your loss.

Thanks for the warning. I don't have a Kingmaker yet but nevertheless I wouldn't want to lose my Animated Guardian.

Vaal Temple is the worst map in the game next to Core. Sorry about your Guardian mate.
Playing Different minion build on Harvest SSF.

My minions did survive that map but boosting their survivability is my main issue now

I lost minions(including AG) to T14 incursion encounter, AW5, essence rare and blight or to just random maps. I have bone offering up and also they of Tul snow cloak, spam convocation but it's still not enough sometimes

I'm thinking maybe get bone armor and link it to left click instead of commander of darkness but my damage is mediocre so not sure it will pay off

Also after leveling to 91 with zombies I switched to carrions and skellies. Carrions just have much better clear. Zombies really suck now(unless you give them tons of speed and feeding frenzy). I switch back to zombies on end game bosses

BTW, I believe the best minion build for now is radiating golems( my char on harvest league), but it's not SSF viable.

Well, I don't know about that. My level 30 zombies might want to disagree with this statement ^^

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 :)

Hey RSCCCC! Thanks for your kindness :). I'm glad you're having a good time and that you've been progressing well! I added another video to the Slow-Mo playlist. I think it's mostly Delve (around 250). It'll give you another example of how taunt works...well, until my last 45 minutes ish. I always die lots in the last segments of my play sessions ;).

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?
Hey subliminaldelta! Helmets can have +1, Amulets can also, and chests (though the common +1 chest craft was removed...but there still is a Subterranean mod that can drop for chests that gives +1). The rest is via uniques and raising the Zombie skill gem level past 20. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Raise_Zombie#Mods

Hi, just wanted to say thanks for a great build and guide :D

I'm an on/off player of POE, played only a few leagues and a handfull of characters. Highest was arc witch before in perandus.

Playing non league for now since i had some gear lying around (easy 6 link tabula) and been enjoying it a lot.

Now i've hit the maps and it's just farm farm farm for some upgrades. Recently found the mace that gives me Stone golem and a helm with +2 to socketed minion gems.

Im curious to see how far i can take this char now.
Thanks for the thanks Saranbaatar! That's very kind! It's a good game to come back to. I hope you're enjoying the farming process and I hope you enjoy the rest of the road! Thanks for the message :). (I play Standard too. I love it.)

You sound like me, my first success was Enki's and then I found Wrecker... and here I am on the other side, one happy exile!
This build is amazing, as long as you stick to the base tree you can take it literally anywhere a necro would want to go!
Enjoy!
Thanks GrunkleBob! :) You rock.
