What was your process to craft the chest armor? I'm considering trying to make something similar.

Yeah, i'm testing it now - it gives like 2k ES, and on some spores i'm over 8k ES. I think i'll get Torrent Reclamation to test it aswell, its massive HP loss, but huge offensive buff and it actually might help with some ES recovery too (i have more on ring aswell now., accidentaly)

EDIT: looks like damagewise is Darkness Enthroned actually slightly better, with 2 good eyes, plus it still has at least some hp

Yeah torrent reclamation looks good, I can't make up my mind between that or darkness enthroned or just a better vise. Gotta see what I can do with the rings depending on which one I get, then I can fit in a dex +1 int +1 skelly amulet.

I think you're right about the es recovery, something like vivinsect + zealots oath + no chaos bypass (usually shavronnes) seems to be common, but not sure that can fit into this build with +2 chests etc. I think even without that combo there's a few other ways to do it (rare rings/jewels?), I haven't looked much farther into it yet.

Well, you just color it all blue, then Vorici white socket, and then you go to Temple for double corrupt, and hope for the best... :-)

Which is better, commander darkness or bone barrier, for the last ascendancy? Can I use bone armour and bone offering at the same time to keep myself from dying? Thanks.
(Currently on 4625 life, cap resistance without commander darkness, 75/50 attack/spell block after using bone offering, still dies occasionally in red maps tho)

how do you get the 5 or 6 blue sockets on this chest?
Simple chromatic spamming wont do it i guess?^^

can I use specter or any other summon with this build? if so then how do I do it, what skills should I remove in order to add a different summon

Hi!

Thanks for the build, I was just about givin up on my arc witch when I found this build. So far I kill bosses I never did before (Uber Elder, Sirius, etc).

My question is how shall I apptoach battles where I can't realy on the charges of Vaal Skeletons coz there are no minions to kill and charge the skill? eg.: Sirius last phase.

Also my gear:

Hiya!

Thank you very much for this guide! I played my first summoner evah (since CB!) and am having a blast.

One change I find to be very nice: I use glacial cascade with cull to trigger EE instead of the brand. It knocks enemies back, which is a huge safety bonus and the culling helps against big bosses. Cold EE also allows for frost bomb to curtail insane regen on some bosses.

Anyway, thanks again and may your map pool never run dry,
SB
