[3.21] Cold Conversion Summoner | Build guides for all budgets | (Ghazzy Zoomancer)

Hi guys,
sorry for this noob-question, but I'm heading for low budget version now and I saw that I have to change a lot passives. How do I get enough points to change the tree? |

" Refund passives by using regret orbs. |

" Ok, thanks...so I hope, I'll get a lot of orb-drops... |

" Not sure what your HP is but randomly getting oneshot from things you shouldn't be oneshot by is frustrating. Chimera shouldn't be a problem though if you press all your flasks when the smoke phase begins. Could try doing your Guardian maps white to make them easier. Some things you could work on to drastically increase survivability is work hard on getting a level 3 Awakened Cold Pen gem. (Hopefully get a new one with 20% quality too) Could just buy a new one at lvl 3 or higher. This opens up a gem link from your zombies since you don't need Elemental Army any longer and you can fit Molten Shell like I have done. In my build currently, Molten Shell Absorbs 5800 damage and has a 7.5 sec duration. It could help you alot. Might want to look into getting more Life Nodes aswell to buff up survivavbility. You might want to look into getting an Auls Uprising like me to fit Grace in aswell. Gives you 85% Evasion which helps alot vs some boss abilities and attacks. Still have to dodge slams and big elemental hits though. Last edited by Deadandlivin#2745 on Nov 4, 2021, 7:02:55 AM

" I've never done a phys build so don't really know how to scale and itemize it. But I think one problem with a pure phys version is that you can't craft a GG helmet with it. Best thing we could do is probably make a +3 minion level helm with Minion damage and +4% base crit for a psuedo 7-link. Might work. Might theory craft such a build later to see how it would turn out. Phys might be superior which would be a bummer. |

" Nice gear :) I personally would work on getting a Frostbite ring, that's correct. This would in theory lead to less dps as hardcast Frostbite is more single target but the QoL is immeassurable. After that I you're correct to assume that a proper endgame helm is the next choice. I just got mine and the damage difference is insane. The third big ticket item you want to work on is getting a +2/2 Frenzy/power charge shield on a Cold Attuned Buckler base for Brittle on Block. Headhunter is still something you absolutely should consider for endgame. It's super strong for our build when running juiced maps. Another consideration is Mageblood. Just need to make sure you can get the lost resistances from a Headhunter somewhere else in the build. |
|
" You need a source of lightning or fire dmg to spells, that is correct. This is easily crafted on a ring prefix. Just make sure you don't have added cold dmg to spells or it will brick EE. You can mouseover the BV tooltip to see what dmg types it does. |

" Well, that doesn't sound fun. I was quick to assume your AG was like level 15 or something but seeing how he's 21 and dying is puzzling me. What bosses have you lost him to? If you don't oneshot bosses you need to always de summon him vs Veratania and Sirus. There are some other niche cases too with bosses who oneshot AGs with 110k hp. Your Convoking Wand has cold damage to spells on it. This bricks your Elemental Equilibrium. You need to sell that wand ASAP and get a new one as you're actually INCREASING monster cold resistance right now. As with most builds I've gone through you're putting too low emphasis on your gems. You really want your skill gems to be lvl 21 and your supports to be 20/20 atleast. Doing this aswell as getting a new wand would drastically your damage alot. As for minion survivability, I can't think of what your issue is. I've lost 1 Zombie when delving at depth 400, that's it. And ofc, consistently losing a zombie here and there against Veratania and Sirus. Something you should try out is getting 8% max Elemental res as a defensive minion mastery node instead of 40% convocation reduction. Also get a Ghastly Eye Jewel with 10% minion Elemental Resistance to cap them out. Losing your minions suck pretty badly and hopefully this could help. |

" You can run the leveling PoB for quite some time. I used it until T13 maps, that's when I swapped to low budget. This means you should be able to run it for long enough to accumilate some Orb of Regrets to respecc the tree later on. |

I have just tried A8 Sirus with my shitty gear.
Gues what? I see it is doable even with my gear. It was more like "my power check" attempt, and I failed only with 0.5-1% sirus hp left, mostly because 2 times i died of my own stupid actions. Also had to resumon golems once during the fight cuz 2 of them died. Spectres were fine (running 3 SO and 1 crab) I think next time will kill him. Just remember to use convocation to save your hord from the most deadly hits, and dodge. It is slow but doable Also i killed minotaur with 35% boss hp and aoe map mods, 2x elder guardians witnessed by maven and phoenix wintessed by maven on crafted yellow map PoE nowadays looks more and more like a fork server with tons of custom weird experimental stuff rather than original game with carefully thought out balance brough live to players.
