Notes:

Until I come out with more content (e.g. PoB milestones, pathing info, etc.) I would only recommend trying to follow this guide if it makes sense to you. Raising Spectres, using an Animated Guardian, etc. are all complicated stuff or new players. You also may have to do some annoying stuff like manually cast Desecrate on a weapon swap or something before certain boss fights to ramp up your offerings.

Whatever the case, I'm very excited about this build and I'll be releasing build updates and loot filters as I progress my league start. Feel free to ask questions here or on my YouTube.

i truely believe that dominating blow is the minion build can be played from leaguestart and upgradable up to mirror budget.

Thanks, Nightash. My original theory craft had some issues with damage, and I've optimized, updated it, and made it more budget. PoBs updated above. Still working on a follow-up video.

Basically, for under a handful of divs you can build yourself a character that can farm most of everything and earn currency. With lots of money, you'll probably be investing in a fancy Ghazzy bone helm or something and operating on a 8-link. In addition, you can use a Cane of Kule for more damage.
