I like this guide, I find most of the guides too intimidating for my casual SSF playstyle, but this one is nice. I only play zombie/skeletons physical builds. The highest level I got to was 95, but I've experienced very little endgame in all my years playing PoE. I'm not sure if I'll play the Sentinel league, but if I will, my tree will look something like this:
https://poeplanner.com/b/Zn5
With Death Attunement anointed. I never used Bone Offering, so I take Commander of Darkness over Mistress of Sacrifice, but maybe I should change it.

For the 6-link I'll have Zombies, Vaal Skeletons, Meat Shield, 2 of the the 3: Brutality, Melee Physical Damage, Ruthless (by the way, which of these 3 can I skip?), Melee Splash for trash and Multistrike for bosses. But I'm open to suggestions. Is predator better on single target?

I use Spectres as support. I used 2 that give frenzy charges and 1 for power charges in the past, but I think 1 and 1 is enough. I read about the Scorpion Sentinel and it sounds amazing - high health + maim and blind! So I don't need maim/blind gems. Where can I find it by the way? Even with minion life, the Spectres were dying pretty frequently in difficult content, and it was a pain to get them back every time. So I'm open to suggestions about which Spectres I should use. I think that I can use The Spectre gem with a Golem (Chaos or Carrion) gem at the same 4-link, with Minion Life and Feeding Frenzy.

My other links: Shield Charge-Fortify-Hextouch-Vulnerability
Cast When Damage Taken-Immortal Call-Enfeeble-Increased Duration

I use Defiance Banner, Pride, Flame Dash (need it because Shield Charge can't blink), I used Flesh and Stone before but not sure if it's any good, does it stack with maim and blind from the Spectre, or not? Also Convocation, Vaal Haste and Flesh Offering. Maybe I can change to Bone offering, as the damage is usually good enough, and then maybe I should take Mistress of Sacrifice. I'm open to any ideas about tinkering with the gems.

The only 2 uniques I'm using are Skullhead for minion (and a bit of personal) tankiness, and Lioneye's Remorse for my own tankiness.

So I'm looking forward to any feedback, and good luck in the Sentinel league.

First; your child was adorable narrating the video.

Second; I really like this build, I think I'll try it out for my starter in .18, allow myself some easy mode to slowly get currency.

Thank you for the guide; it is well put together and is pretty newbie friendly too, which is awesome though sadly rare. The only thing I think that would improve it, is the PoB have leveling parts to it (like, at Act 2 you should have these skills, at Act 3 you should have these, etc). Just to help out some folks who might not know the best way to go.

Thank you so much for making builds like this, I plan to finally come back to the game and give it another shot in .18 and even with neuropathy I think I might be able to pull something like this off. I think I may have even tried this build or your RF build at some point in the past.

My question, since we have a few days before .18 drops, is how you think this zombie setup compares to a summon skeleton setup? There are a few floating around out there and some of them even try to provide the same little to no input for players who have handicap issues, particullarly Ghazzy's. Obviously clicking summon skeleton every 20 or so seconds is a big change but I wonder at the difference in clearing ability? I might be able to handle a single button...maybe.

I feel I may stick with zombies than, the more passive I can go the better. I was also tempted to try out your RF build but pets tend to be a much easier start and I can start the zombies almost immediately. There's also some temptation to maybe try a golem build, I think carrion golems was a popular setup, but that also takes more work to get going. It's been so long since I played it's hard to pick what to do.
