3.11 - Stress-Free PoE! SLOW-MO ZOMBIES: No Required Items! 1-Button Play! SSF League Start-End!

"

Hey thanks Wrecker! Made a few levels on the curses (7 or 8 I think) and now they have a good range and noob me I can see them work! :) I still have to respec like a quarter of my tree because I switched from Animate Weapon, but the build is already doing good with just so few levels on the gems.

From my limited experience with Poe, I concur that skeletons kick ass. On my other necro zombies are on a 5L and they are good but for killing stuff I always spam my skellies and they do the job. But I play mostly yellow and some reddish map, so I think I am far from understanding how tough the higher levels can be.

I want to say Thank You, so far the build is quite fun and stress free, and I hope I can learn more and more about the game through it.

That's all for now you all have a good day :)

In order for me:

4 link skeles -> 5 link phantasms -> 5 link zombies

The zombies are last in the damage department (not too much less than the phantasms though). I guess they make up for it in QOL because they never die.

Next league I may change this build slightly to have a 6 link skele just to see how much damage they can really do. The jump in damage from 4 links to 6 links is typically huge for almost any skill.

So based on Grunkle Bob's post about the helmet, I trolled the trade site and found this for really cheap. It seems like I could make some sort of 7 link skeleton set up with this but I am really confused on how Concentrated Effect works with minons (if at all)

I am off to crank out some POB numbers to see what is what. I will inform when I am ready.

Sometimes i really despise this game. You die to a stupid beam while you are slowed down to a snail's pace and when you return to the arena - boom, you are in a vortex and die in half a second...



I really hope one day Sirus is deleted from this game. Eternally.

Hey fellow Slow-mo'ers. So curious with all of the Aura/Curses I'm running at 2% unreserved mana which for me equals 19 mana at this time (I'm level 63). The challenge is if I lose Zombies I cannot resurrect them without unsocketing my blood and sand aura to turn it off or switching one of my curses off. Same goes for my golem. Am I missing something or is this just what I've got to do to run with that much reserved mana.

Thanks!

Don't you worry. That's the fate of all of us, because we have so much mana reserved. The good news is: The zombies and the golem will hardly ever die once the skill-tree is almost finished.

Something for the lolz - I finally managed to get all the desired colours onto the only non-corrupted 6-link body armour that I have found so far in Harvest:

The only "minor" downside is the massive dexterity requirement... "clumsy me", my poor RiotSlut tells me. And she is right, unfortunately. I switched some rings and my gloves just to see how she would look in this sexy leather thing.

Well, decide for yourselves:



I guess need to get the - x % requirement-suffix.

hey Wrecker, I have been reading through your other guides (incredible stuff across the board, I may try RF this league). I have also been following the current meta and it looks like Specter focused builds are very popular and powerful.

Have you ever given any thought to a specter focused build as it should be able to maintain some of your core beliefs of low button use?

As always, thanks for all the hard work you do.

Hey Slow Mo'ers

I've got another question. I can't seem to tell if my CWDT is working. I don't see any additional timed bonuses at the top of my screen, but I don't believe desecrate or bone offering would have that. What about Purifying Flame? Also anyone else playing this on a PS4? I frequently have screen lags when I get in a room full of monsters and casting. Sometimes it freezes and crashes - which results in me needing to re-rez my zombies. Just wondering if there are some settings I can change in the video options to make it a bit less video/memory intensive.

Thanks!

You're very kind AndyLovesHisBge! Thanks for the encouragement!

Ya, Spectres are nuts. The thing I don't like about them is the awkwardness of them if they die. It's not really a big deal to experienced players...even slightly experienced players. But to "need" and specific type of enemy(ies) for the build to function isn't the kind of guide I like to write.

That obviously doesn't mean they won't be amazing builds or amazing guides. They just are a little too dependent for the style of freedom that I like within my guides. That being said, I haven't seriously considered it since both Desecrate and Spectres had their gem re-works in 3.9.

Take a look at Master of Metal as a Champion. Think of how glorious any physical minion would benefit from that.
