Welp it's been a while since I've been here. Really interesting changes to the whole build since i last played as well!

Just hit 45 so by all means take this with a grain of salt:

I tried and tried to get CWDT to proc often and actually hit anything to proc EE, I couldn't do it. To squishy to survive it. Swapped to self cast lightning ball and that made it a lot smoother, stayed at max range/offscreen. That being said! Either needs GMP as has been suggested or increased area of effect gem to really shine i feel.

Has anyone tried this with Lightning Warp? Movement skill + lightning damage in an aoe. (Plan to try this at some point my self)

At the moment plan on going for the Fortify Boots + Shield Charge/WW setup and a Summon Holy Relic like the old build used to. Currently using Shield Charge with out fortify and super tanky as long as Summon Holy Relic buff is up so not sure why that got dropped for the CWDT setup.

Basically Charge in to proc EE and Holy Relic Buff, spam skele's till Holy Relic is about to drop than charge out/next pack and repeat. Honestly don't even need to summon skele's can just charge through enemies for EE then let Zombies mow em down. Keep Vaal Skele's for bosses/blights/etc.

Got

but chromas havent been kind to me for getting 4 B for skele set up. May try dropping Minion Instability on the tree and Infernal Legion Gem from Skele set up for an increased duration gem if i can get 3B1R...

Also if you check my character, I need to start getting resist gear so i don't get nuked during blights/bosses but

are so good for lvling!

Hey Guru1619. Always a pleasure :). Ya, GGG made some big minion changes! I like what you've done! Did you use Shield Charge last league or Cyclone?

Played a little bit around sockets and links, and now I'm wondering, does "Herald of Thunder" not affect our minions?

Edit: Misread the question, and was talking about Wrath not Hearald of Thunder. Answer is no, it only affects you since it's an applied buff and not an Aura.

Hey Firderis. MasterZoen is correct. Not everything that reserves mana is an aura. The Heralds are just buffs to caster.

Hello Wrecker of days :)
Just been having a blast with the build as always!
spent my ex on an ok 6l chest since zombies ruin all in a 4 link.
added spectors and phantasms. Soooooooo awesome!
What are the best spectres to take advantage of phys and hatred in the zombie link? I went with frost sentinels because why not?
It's just unfair and I am cheating at this point LOL.
Have it all set up as you suggest and it just destroys.
My bro and I run blights with dual necros and there is no fight, just keeping up with lag and profit.

So PS4, I love your tree, but was looking to experiment.
Yeah I went insane.
I self cast arc which is ridiculously OP even after all the nerfs and crying.
I use flame dash because I love it.
I run Zombies in a 5 link with spectres. Still looking for that 6 link and the loot for it to get phantasms back in.
I run SRS totem in a 3 link.
I run Skeletons in a 4 with from dust. Vaal of course for boss Qol
I picked up the helm that has lv22 blasphemy so I freed up 2 gems for animate guardian and animate weapon. I will have to tinker with loot filter to get identified items to show up because it's to cumbersome to have to Id then drop then raise. Loving animate guardian, he is tanked up with your tree!
I am having a blast with both variants and my friend is loving it too!
He got 2 ex in a blight map and he is shopping for a 6 link now.
I am 85 on PC, 89 on PS4 and rarely die, in fact can't remember when I died last. Think some lame rubberbanding in the delve and a desync.
It's going slow because I have an Assassin to feed as well, man Venom Gyre with plague bearer is FUN! Fastest character I've made, think he hits like 120% when buffed.
Interestingly I have not fully ascended and am looking forward to the extra resists to immortalize my minions! just need 2 more trials.

Thanks for the good times my friend!
Also on PS4 I run 3 life flasks and 2 atziris because I don't need mana and I can't click more than 2 flasks at a time because buttons ;)

I think the best meme from this league is running into a pack of mosters, hearing the shatter and suddenly I am surrounded by phantasms!!! LOL GREAT TIMES!!

Ha ha ha. Thanks GrunkleBob. Love the post (as always). Those are some cool modifications. I love the idea of getting as many minions out there as possible. Are you equipping your Guardian with anything specific?

To answer your question about spectres, I just pick the enemies I like/hate the most. I don't really aim for optimal. I like the Kativa Heralds in Act 10 and goats. But not the mage goats. The melee ones that jump. But like everyone else has suggested, there are better ones out there...but more fun...proably not ;).

Thanks for the post.

Do you deliberately use sub optimal stuff and 100% random rares, or is it accidental?

Hey DamageIncorporated. I use Rare Only out of personal preference. I like the possibility that any drop can be an improvement to my gear. It's fun to not need anything specific to go crazy and have fun.

I really like SSF but I also like selling stuff. So I enjoy equipping only what the games drops for me while I use the currency I get from selling (which isn't much on console) to improve what I have (if it's worth it).

I only play each character I have for an hour or two each week. If something great drops, I'll equip it for sure. But I'm fine with mediocre. It's good for people to see that they can clear the atlas with whichever guide with sub-par gear. They'll obviously know it can perform better with more investment if they cared to do so.

So no, it's not accidental...nor on purpose :). It's just what's dropped with the time I have. But it works...which is the point of my guide design anyway.

What skills have you used for Blight and enjoyed?

see now that is a story I like, direct, to the point, plot twist and a happy ending lol

I tried to fight being a necro this league... i TRIIIIIIIIEEEEED and finally gave in 10 days later I am a happy necro smashing the crap out of anything that dares be near a minion on the screen (and a bit off the screen too!) just working my way through the atlas, trying to better my gear and generally loving being stood at the back telling minions wha to do

love your story, love your guides (even though and running diffferent builds) and generally a HUUUUGE thanks to Wrecker for all he does for us newbie players :)

Hey 0nyX! You can't fight the Necro...just...give...in.

Thank you for your kindness (as always). Thank you :).

What have you run this league?

This fricking build. Any map under T9 I just walk through. I mean, I can have my left hand in my pants and my right hand on the mouse and never click a button.



This build just keeps getting better and better.


Zombie on!

:) Zombie On.

Take a look at the helm, the body armor and the boots. The helm basically turned skeletons to 6L with phantasms.

I literally drooled when I read your helm! Holy shit, it's like an 8 link for zombies and skelies!
Think I will keep an eye out for that!

I can honestly say that you can make a call on minion life or minion damage in your zombie setup. Replace one with specters and I think you'll flip out like the rest of us! I would say life, because zombies never die. AND the specters will use all those sweet zombie supports as well;)

Party on Exile!

Wait...I'm semi-new..do the buffs from 2 carrion golems stack?? I'm using 2 golems too, the stone and carrion.
And also using (trying it out) animated gaurdian in place of the CWDT with phase run and such.

Zombie on!
