Minions taunt & blind on jewels would be big for defense. I think you could get a better cluster jewel than the one you're using also.

Tweaking gear so you don't need to use Avatar of Fire would save some points. Otherwise looks pretty good though!
Hieithedragon didnt check full gear. But your wand has Cold damage added to spells.

Doesnt that mess up your EE?

Also, got lucky on first alteration and found a helmet:

Very fun build! Thank you for it :)

Two questions if anyone could answer please.

First is that the in game tooltip (on Xbox) for Added Cold Damage Support says that it's not compatable with Animate Weapon, even though AW does "hit enemies". Oddly Hypothermia Support does show as supportable for AW. Any thoughts why CDS is showing as not?

Anyway onto my a actual question. Dancing Duo has been a staple of all of my necro builds in the alternate weapon set. If nothing else than for fun, experimenting, or speed running delves/lower maps. I'd like to incorporate it into this build, but I'm not sure how the phys/cold conversion would work for it. Would you reccomend that it remain phys and then let Triad Grip convert to cold? Or would you think that it should be setup with cold skill supports like Animate weapon supports? Added Cold, Hypothermia, etc

Thanks, and have a good one
Actually disregard my first question. I had an Added Cold Damage Support gem in my inv, and also one in my chest piece. The one in the inv showed as not being supportable. But that's just the tooltip's way of saying that you cant use the same gem twice in the same link setup. Anyway...

If you could let me know what you'd reccomend for the Dancing Duo gem setup. Pure phys to be converted, or cold gems similar to Animate Weapon 6 link?

Grat Build!
I'm playing in a private league with some friends and got through all content more or less.
The only thing i failed so far was Sirus at high awakening level and the uber elder fight.
So my main question is: are there any tips for sirus? or do you have any suggestions on my gear/tree? (remember i cant really buy any items since its in a private league) and what about empower, would it be worth it on the animated weapons?
Thanks already for your answers, this is really a great guide with great ppl giving good tips and advices. keep it up :)

Is Added Cold Damage really worth it after the rework? PoB shows rather low dps increase compared to other available options.

My POB is showing 366k per AW (lingering blade) with Awakened added cold and other gems leveled up.

Can you advise what is showing more damage for you? Flat damage should scale best (with all the minions deal % damage bonuses).

Using OP's PoB for lvl93 with AW-edwa-minion dmg-multi-hypo, normal melee phys dmg, awak melee phys dmg and elem focus (normal and awak) is better, although focus has obvious undesirable weakness. Compared to normal cold dmg, hypothermia, awak cold pen, ruthless and crit dmg (due to power charges ticked on).

tl;dr melee phys dmg seems better.



Another question:
Anyone got strict and semi-strict filter with only really good bases for AW on? At reasonable lvl25 AW gem a lot of bases are worse than lingering blades.

Im also using OPs PB.

For me:
AW - minion damage - hypothermia - ED with attacks - Awakened cold - Multistrike = 360 876 DPS

AW - minion damage - hypothermia - ED with attacks - Awakened phys - Multistrike = 293 578 DPS

didnt test other gems.

Bare in mind the skitterbots buff etc.
