[3.10] Herald of Purity Summoner | 36/40 | Deathless Sirus lvl 8 | By far my strongest Build

Lioneye's Remorse = ~2c
Grip of the Council = ~10c
Essence Worm = ~4c
The Jinxed Juju = ~1c
Circle of Guilt = ~5c
Helmet with Minion Life = ~1c
Wand with +1 Minion Skill Gem = ~60c
The Coming Calamity = ~1c (just socket, color and link them by yourself - cost depends on luck ofc)

The rest of the gear depends on the resistances you need but shouldnt be more than some c too

Only "expensive" items can be the watchers eye with ~ 1-2ex
and the other jewels with 1-4ex, but this depends on daytime and how much are on sale

Our weapon will be a Rare crafted Convoking Wand. On this wand we want some Minion Modifier like the +1 to all minion gems. Together with some minion attack/cast speed. The selfcrafted "Trigger a Sockted Spell when you use a Skill" helps us to alway keep up our Offering and the Golem (so we dont need to recast him manually if he dies).
Try to focus on the +1 Minion Modifier or a +1 to all Spell modifier, which will also work. The Wand need an open Suffix so we can caft the Trigger Craft on it, so keep that in mind ;)

Because the Offering Spell need corpses to work we also put in desecrate so the spell will always have corpses to cast on.

IMPORTANT: The Skill Gem order in this Wand (together with the Trigger craft) is important because it will use the top gem first and than the followed ones. This means in our case we want Desecrate first, so it cast Corpses. AFTER that we want the Offering Gem because otherwise the Offering cant be casted because there are no corpses which the Offering Gem needs ;). And last we put in the Carrion Golem. So the cycle will be: Desecrate (corpses) -> Flesh Offering (buffes our Minions) -> Carrion Golem (also buffes our Minions with additional physical dmg)

Gems: Desecrate -> Flesh Offering -> Carrion Golem

The Best in Slot wand would look like this (dont look at the gems, its from a different build):

---

Our Body Armour will be The Coming Calamity. There is no other 6L option here because this Chest says that our Herald Setup always reserves only 45% Mana. Without these Chest we would reserver over 100% Mana which onviously dont work ;).

Until you get yours you can use another armour on a 5L and without the Multistrike Gem. But this will prevent you from using ANY other aura (because of the high mana Reservation) and only work if you dont use the Essence Worm Ring ;)
The Skill gems are sorted in the correct gem order for 1-6L

Hitting 4 Red 2 Blue can be a bit anoying because its a 144 Int Base. So i recommend to craft White Sockets on it via the Syndicate or use the Crafting Bench.


Gems: Herald of Purtiy -> Minion Damage -> Melee Physical Damage -> Feeding Frenzy -> Maim -> Multistrike

---

Our Shield shield will be the Lioneye's Remorse because it gives us a very high Life roll and much Armour. You also could use a very good crated Rare with similar results.
Here we take our Movement Skill Setup. The blood magic is important because we will only have very few mana left and this allowes us to cast it always if we need it.

Gems: Flame Dash -> Faster Casting -> Blood Magic

---

For our Helmet try to get an Elder Base. The most inportant Mod here is the Socketed Gems are Supported by lvl 20 Minion Life. This will help our Zombies and Spectres to stay alive. I also recommend some Life and Resistances. The best Enchantment we can get is the +1 Maximum Number of Sentinels of Purtiy. If you want these enchantment i suggest to look for such an Enchanted base and than craft the other stuff on it by yourself.

Here we use our Spectres and Zombies. Because they are only Supporter for us we link them together with Meatshield and give them Bloodmagic so they always have enough Mana for casting their abilitys. Thrust me in case of the Spectres Blood Magic really helps alot (they may kill themself in early stages but later they are always alive).

Our Spectres are in this order to get:
Carnage Chieftain (They cast Frenzy Charges for our Team) found in Akt 2 "The Old Fields". We take 2 of them as soon as we can summon up to 3 Spectres
Host Chieftain (They cast Power Charges for our Team) found in Akt 6 "The Riverways".

The Zombies are a great Meatshield and also help us to kill the first enemys in a map to trigger the Minions from our Herald.

Gems: Raise Zombies -> Raise Spectres -> Meat Shield -> Blood Magic

---

Our Gloves will be the Grip of the Council. These Gloves gives our minions a nice dmg boost via the 20% phys as extra cold dmg and also gives us good cold res too together with some life.
I would look at first for a high Resistances roll and than for Life.

The Gems in it can be switched with the ones from the Boots, just look at which you get the right colours first ;)

We link Cast when Damage Taken lvl 1 together with a Convocation lvl 1. In this case our Minions will jump to us to protect their master as soon as we get hit.

We also use the Vitality Aura here for more life reg for us and our Minions together with a Portal Gem (the Portal Gem slot is free so you can also use something else if you want and it fits into the build).

IMPORTANT: Dont link a Portal gem together with Cast when dmg taken or you will spam yourself with Portals in Maps etc. This was never a good idea :D

If you can, try to get some with Elemental Weakness or Vulnerability Corruption (i was lucky and got a ring with this, but thats NOT the normal case ;))

Gems: CWDT -> Convocation -> Vitality -> XXX

---

Our Boots will be some Rare ones with alot of Resitances, Life and if you can an open Prefix for "Cannot be Frozen" or additonal Life.

Try to get the "Regenerate 2% of Life per second if you were Hit Recently" enchantment on it.

The Gems in it can be switched with the ones from the Gloves, just look at which you get the right colours first ;)

This will be our most important Setup. We use Ball Lightning to trigger our Sentinel of Puritys because we need to Kill Enemys (in this case culling strike helps alot) or hit some rare or unique enemys to spawn them. It also triggers Elemental Equilibrium and our Curse on hit (if you have such a corruption). Try to recast this as often as you can and aim to the rare/unique enemys ;)!

Slower Projectile helps to hit our enemys more often and Blood Magic allows us to cast it as often as we want.

Gems: Ball Lightning -> Culling Strike -> Slower Projectile -> Blood Magic

---

Our Belt will be a Stygian Vise with the resistances we need together with a high life roll. If you can, try to get some chaos resistances too.

In it we put a Ghastly Eye Abyss Jewel with Max life and Minion Physical Damage. The Taunt also realy helps alot and i would try to get at least on Jewel with such a Modifier.

---

We will use two Unique Rings. One of them will be the Essence Worm Ring which allows us to use Hatred as an additonal huge dmg boost for our Minions and cast this Aura for free. The downside is that it say all our other Auras will reserve 40% increased Mana. But because our Body Amour says Heralds always reserves 45% Mana it stay the same and it only effects our Vitality Aura.

The other ring we take will be the Circle of Guilt. here we look for a high "Sentinal of Purity deal x% increased damage" roll (70-100%).

The implicit of these Rings will be random so you will notice i got one with a Curse on hit. These will be very rare, so better try to get such a curse on hit on your gloves via corruption ;)


Our Amulet will be The Jinxed Juju because if offers use some Aura Effec, but more important it gives some nice dmg reduction through "10% of Damage from Hits is taken from your Spectres' Life before you" and also some nice chaos resistances.

You can also use a rare Amulet if you have problems to cap your resistances.

Blight League Oil Enchantment:
I prefer Golem's Blood for additional "+10% Maximum Life" & "Regenerate 1.6% of life per second"

---

We have a lot free Jewel Sockets which we want to fill with Ghastly Eye Abyss Jewels. We focus on a good life roll and a high Minion Physical damage roll. if you can try to get at least one with Blind and one with Taunt on hit. These booth gives us ALOT more defense. Other good modifier are attacks speed or chaos res for your minions.

For the Watcher's Eye we use one with one of these two modifiers: 20-30% increased Life Recovery Rate while affected by Vitality or Regenerate 100-140 Life per Second while affected by Vitality. If you have some exalted and dont know where to spend you can also try to get booth rolls together on your Jewel or additional the +20-30 Life gained for each Enemy Hit while affected by Vitality modfifier.

---

Our flask will be a Life Flask with Bleeding Immunity, Sulphur Flask with crafted Life reg (or freeze Immunity if you dont have the "Cannot be Frozen" Mod on your Boots). A Granite Flask with additional % increased Armour. A Quartz Flask with Curse Immunity and a Quicksilver Flask with additional Movement Speed on it.
