Do you guys do PoB reviews ?

It's the first time i rly try to invest currency in a minion build and i'm a bit lost.

Dps feels low on my current setup while i invested a decent amount of currency. What should i change/upgrade ? Got like 20ex budget atm.

1) Your Cluster Jewel is wrong. We use exactly 2 types of Large Cluster - Vicious Bite, Renewal, Rotten Claws and Vicious Bite, Renewal, Raze and Pillage. In such configurations useless mods such as RC or RnP appear at the top of the Cluster, so we can spend 5 points only.
2) Use Frostbite, not Assassin's Mark.
3) I don't think that all your crit support gems are viable enough unless you use a helmet with flat crit.
4) Unless you have a 7-link helmet, you shall allocate Golems in the Body Armour.
5) You should either use a Skin with Elemental Equilibrium or Awakened Cold Pen in your Spectre links.
6) BV is only useful if you use it in Trigger Wand. In other cases Storm Brand is much superior.
7) Add Quality to Convocation. It improves CDR.
8) You can make both Skitterbots and Bonechill Divergent. It will improve your damage.
9) Wand with +1 to all spell skills gems but with high minion dmg + minion AS is very likely to be superior than yours.
10) Carrion Golem MUST have Awakened Melee Phys linked to it. It is free Intimidate.

That's pretty much it from me. The main thing I would recommend you to do is to sell Awakened Multi and invest these money in the helmet with flat crit, chest with EE, maybe some 5-way rotas to fit more clusters.

P.S. what does you AG wears ? His proper gearing may increase your comfort from playing drastically.

1. Feasting Fiends on a 8 point cluster is actually very good right now. It costs 2 points extra but we get much needed leech since we can't pick the 1% leech mastery in the lategame.
5-point larges combined with feasting fiends on mediums are probably the best point efficiency we can get though.
2. Frostbite is the best curse until a point.
Once you get a Brittle Shield Assassin's Mark actually outperforms Frostbite on single target since Marks don't get affected by reduced curse effect from bosses. I double checked his PoB and Assassin's Mark is indeed the best curse to use.
3. All his crit stuff work because of his shield :)
4. 100% true and a pretty big dps increase.
5. Also 100% true, extremely important. He has no Exposure in his build. Adding EE to chest takes his dps from 10 million to 16 million alone.
6. Agree, BV in gloves seemed weird to me. I'd much rather have Desecrate in gloves. Selfcasting Desecrate and triggering Offering feels much better than triggering both imo. Only needed for certain bossfights.
7. Quality overall is a big QoL upgrade. Especially on stuff like Auras. Increased Aura effect ensures minions stay within range of them to recieve the 30% ele res from Commander of Darkness. 90% of all minion deaths are because minions run out of Auras and get blasted by elemental dmg while they're at 50% ele resistances.
8. While marginal, small things adds up fast.
9. He could definitely upgrade his wand but, but chest upgrade def comes first.
10. 100% true. This is flat 10% dmg boost to the build.

Alright, so I lost my AG to reflect. Wasn't paying attention and here I am.
Then I realized that the scourge mod "You and your minions take %reduced reflected elemental damage" exists.
Would getting this on the Inpulsa's make dying to reflect a lot harder with the leech?

Did he explode himself with Inpulsa in an Ele reflect map?

Empower is not worth in helm, only in chest because of the +2.

Alright, thanks for the answers, will keep working on the build then :)

- Tbh this is rly hard to snipe EE skin with good colors but i will try.

- I placed BV in gloves cuz i felt perma uptime on bone offering was good and i don't mind pressing bv just before a boss.

I will work on helm and wand right after i get this chest.

What are the best gear for our AG right now? I got lost with a few suggestions

If people are interested in this setup I'll make a PoB later.

Well that video is absolutely awesome.

I wouldnt have expected a minion build to be so successful in Sim --level 30 awesome:)

It is certainly something I would be interested in, never having done a Sim before.

What is your recommendation on a tree and gem setup with 1crab? Regular SO support gems?

Also the 'SO full dps' PoB is broken.

I set it up by picking up some items in the stash, surely I will have to fix the flasks and the boots first (to have the resistances capped).
I join Domo's request, better Aw Elemental Damage + Greater Volley (+ phanstasm of course) for the specter 3+1?

You can try that out.
I know that I personally wouldn't like removing Blade Vortex. It's an integral part of the build which offers massive QoL and allows us to play super fast.

Curious though, why don't you think BV is lackluster? :)

It doesn't seem to do too much for me tbh - I kept dying quite a lot. I switched over to molten shell and run determination and I die a lot less. With BV + Lifetap I would die every 2-3 maps and wipe all the XP I got previously. I haven't died once since I started using Molten + Determination. I also didn't see a lot of regen coming from it - so unless I'm missing something.
