👻3.20👻 Kay's Summoner💥SRS Bomber💀Poison SRS💀Melee SRS🕷️Spiders💀Skeleton Mages

Some updates:

You might have noticed the written walkthrough was missing from page 1! I removed it because it was 3.15 and really outdated! But I've updated for 3.17 and the new version of Minion Army League Starter.



I also updated the Build Planner for some small changes. But it's now on a website so I can update it easily :)

(thanks to @juanjogc for telling me how to make it!)

I will start working on levelling video walkthrough this week. I hope it will be finished before end of the week.


Edit: I also made a small change to Skele and SRS build! Please take Divine Shield near the cluster jewel. It's free ES regen!

Hi Kay, so Melee phys support gem and Maim do not work with SRS anymore?

What support gems would you suggest in melee srs builds?
I am using SRS, echo, min dmg, melee splash. I prefer echo then unleash, also i am runing Hatred. Would inc crit and crit dmg be good if melee dmg and maim don't work anymore?

SRS is physical conversion so Melee Physical and Maim still work with them! Any support for before conversion and after conversion will support them. But Maim is only 19% more damage, so it's not good.

I use increased crit damage because you can scale crit chance to about 50% and crit multi up to 2.5 to 4x.

Hey Kay, I noticed that the new Skeleton Mages build for 3.17 seems to be doing noticeably less DPS in PoB than the same build in 3.16 but I was unaware of any minion nerfs. Was some DPS sacrificed for survivability in the newest build?

Yes, I changed the build a lot for survivability. When I tested it, I was able to kill the bosses very quickly anyway, so I decided to keep one build with good survivability + DPS.

You can double the DPS if you drop all the defensive layers

Offering -> Flesh

Change Auras: Zealotry + Generosity, Skitter + Unbound Ailments

Why does the PoB always says its a 3.16 tree and it needs to be converted?

Fixed now. I forgot to update them for new POB. (there's no change in the build)

Just to make sure, after I eqip Fleshcrafter, I don't need to use Elemental Weakness right?

Two questions about the minion army build:
- Why do we use ele weakness instead of flammability? It has better numbers, and we don't use cold or lightning as far as I can see.
- How does Tukohama's spectre compare to A6 monke?

Yes. No point lowering resistances if they are ignored.

Ok, thanks very much!

Hello Kay/Anyone else that might read this

This is my first league following one of your builds, I very easily made it through the acts with the minion army and have successfully transitioned to Skelly Mage with 5L Fleshcrafter, Warpath, and Vixen's Entrapment and not much else, what should I prioritize next to get the most out of the build? AG, cluster jewels, some other item?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, I played your cold SO pure spectre build several leagues ago and had a blast, mapping was s+ experience.
What's your opinion on current state of SO spectres? I want to try it again specifically for fast mapping

Who tired of SRS, skeletons, zombies etc like me, I highly recommend to play Dervish Occultist Minion build + spectres, golem and AG. Never played before - it's very fun and the clear speed is crazy. It's Formula 1 build in POE:)
No need 6 links. Starting build costs 1 chaos lol
