I got this one for like 80c as I wanted to yolo annul it, but then I got the 6 link on 15 fusings, so now it would feel really bad to brick it. Any advice on how I should craft it ?

Craft life and call it a day pretty much.
Maybe Hunter Exalt slam it and hope for +1 curse. Then you got a good candidate for an endgame chest, but the probablity of hitting it is not extremely high unfortunately.

Hey, I'm a bit lost with the guide. Is the flame golemssetup in the act 5-6 walkthrough guide just for leveling and then you switch to carrion stone golem or can you just stay with flame golems and stay with that exact setup, and does it change to colors on the gloves(triads). idk where to follow anymore :P if i should just build all over again to follow the cold carrion golem build or just go with flow on flame golems

The fire and lightning setups are strictly for leveling, more specifically league starts where Syndicate Operative spectres aren't available duinr the first 10 hours.

Past day 1 EVERYONE should run the physicals etup with carrions and SOs for the campaign and swap to cold conversion(Low budget) during mapping.

Got this chest with Glancing Bows for 45c, it's a little bit worse than 3 green/2 blue/1 red but that's what I can afford now.

What would you recommend to use in such case? 1 blue/3 red/2 green
(we're losing minion damage)

I'm thinking about Cruelty and Multistrike, but Multistrike doesn't work on Syndicate Operatives?

For reds, use:
EDWA - Dmg on Full Life and Empower support.
It's the only supports that does any meaningful for our spectres.
Empower gets 1 additional level from Skin of the loyal which makes it really strong. The only annoying thing is that you will want to buy an empower level 4 whcich is pretty expensive.

Hey mate its been a great build so far and its so much fun.However im suffering from some survivability issues.Im kinda on medium budget and can do whole content but its kinda rippy.Do you have any suggestions to boost my survivability with losing minimum dps?

Read the alternative survival setup in Additional Information.
That section adresses survavbility this league that weren't a problem in the past.
Survavbility on bosses will always be a problem cause of their oneshot mechanics. On those you will have to learn how to avoid their telegraphed attacks.

I went with glancing blows + bone offering and am doing MUCH MUCH MUCH better. Am dying a ton less than I was previously (was hardstuck at level90 for a couple of days) and am up to almost 93 now.

Felt comfortable enough to take 1 cluster (with only renewal on large and precise+vicious on both mediums), and am doing fine at 3.9k hp.
Stuns, getting stuck on terrain and rubber banding with dash are what kills me now, apart from insane 1 shots.
Would like a way to fit desecrate into the build to reliably trigger offerings though, especially on boss fights.

Current gear:

3 primordials, anima, 2 covenants and unending hunger. with corrupted blood immunity on one of the gems.

Glad that the survavibility changes worked out for you too :-)
I even went one step further to experiment with Bone Offering and Mistress of Sacrifice to hit blockcap and it feels even stronger. Only scary thing is my AG is at 50k health which is less than I'm comfortable with as I lack levels on my unset ring.

You could run Desecrate in gloves instead of Vaal Haste if you like. This is probably a better option for bosses.
You can also read the Weaponswap section in Additional Information and run that. It's an endgame setup that disallows us to level up offhand gems though so maybe not lucrative right now.

Hello,
What is the difference between anomalous raise spectre and normal raise spectra??

Anomalous gets more hp which is better than run speed.
But getting a 21/20 anomalous is going to be very expensive so not worth it right now.

I was curious if you have ran any Heist/BP's with this build and how it did? I'm worried about the survivability from random 1shots that happen escaping.

I'm starting to realize that the biggest "nerf" to this build was harvest. I'm currently sitting at 3.2k life. Getting anything with minion affixes and + life without spending a lot of Ex is a problem. Aug Crit is also around 6ex so making just 1 cluster is half the cost of the 15ex build lol.

I am doing t16 juiced map just fine though and normally kiling the bosses 10-30s. I did fail a 10 boss fight maven yesterday tho. Need more dps and I'm not sure what was constantly draining my health.

Edit: Also Harbs seem to absolutely destroy my minions high red maps. Do you know what kind of dmg they do??

Heists were never a problem during either Heist league or last league running this build. It's actually very strong in Heist as it's a minion build that is constantly moving.

The dangerous part of Heist are confined into two things:
1. Opening doors and getting blasted into another dimension.
2. On death effects.

Since we're cold most on death effects don't apply to us as mobs are frozen and shatter on death. We're also constantly running so we shouldn't get hit by death explosions unless we literally walk into them again.
Playng minions perfectly handles door situations very well. If your dps is on the lower side(As it seems since it takes 30 sec for you to kill red bosses)
you will have to camp at the side of the door and let your minions clear stuff while you're save. With better gear you just dash + convocate into the packs and keep running.

Harvest definitely carried this build, especially when it came to crafting clusters and minmax gear.
However, the gear you're running is too dangerous. I you might have to rethink your item choices a bit and walk back on some offensive pieces in favour of more damage.

If you look at my gear you'll find that most of my items are very cheap besides the wand I crafted. Whenever I attempt to make a gear upgrade I make sure that my life doesn't fall below 4.5k.
Unfortunately the prices on our items are outrageous right now, especially clusters and I refuse to buy them for those prices. I'm instead just trying to craft them myself with harvest reforges.

Unfortunately this looks like a very short league for me, I can't find any motivation to play it too much because there's no endgame and crafting is in a very dark place right now.

Why in all of your PoBs custom effect of flasks? On Bottled faith in minimax, on quicksilver in medium and heal flask in low budjet. There is no such flask in your profile, which means that the numbers in PoB are overestimated by one and a half times. to be precise Eye of Malice effect on flasks: Nearby Enemies have 50% increased Fire and Cold Resistances. as soon as the enemy resistance goes negative, it is multiplied by 50%.

Because my Animate Guardian wears an Eye of Malice and his items are not displayed on PoB.
Read the animate guardian guides.

Hey, just wanted to say I've been loving your build, this is my first time playing a minion build (always play cyclone) and I really appreciate the effort you put into this guide and all the responses in this post have been useful too. I especially like all the early game stuff explaining when to swap gems, it made the levelling experience really smooth. Now, I would like some advice on something; I recently threw some alterations on boots and got T1 life + spectre (+1) and I'm not sure how to craft it further. My crafting experience is somewhat limited, do I just multimod it and add some resistance and movement speed? (for example movement speed + onslaught (or does that not trigger since our minions kill everything?)). I appreciate any advice, good luck to all!

I'd be glad if someone could explain this to me. I just finished gearing up for the low budget variation of the build, bought all the crucial flasks and jewels, I checked what dps I should have on my carrion golems and it seems that my dps is 6 times lower than it should be. (250k vs 1.45m)

My pastebin

Cheap variation of the build

What I might be missing? 6x times more dps is just insanely far away from what I have.

I have tried to replace my skill gems to 20/20 all of them and it still doesn't provide as much.

So I noticed quite a few things and tried to fix them all, for anyone else curious:



However, after fixing things in "Configuration" and adjusting for better jewels stats and skill gems, there's still 100k of damage missing. Mainly because of "MH Hit Damage", what does that mean?




My pastebin(-100k mh hit damage)
Cheap variation with same skill gems & jewels & without Ravenous Horde(I don't have this amulet)

Any hints?
