" Exactly. You have to assign Deathmark to a key/joystick button and target him. Fortunately, Deathmark lasts 8 seconds, if I remember correctly. Most bosses melt really fast with Deathmark upon their heads. Even Drox (on Awakening level 8) goes down pretty fast since I give him the Deathmark treatment. This way he suffers from the concentrated destruction power of almost a dozen of angry Zombies. Your new wand sounds excellent! What kind of craft did you use to get + 1 to all spell levels? I had a look at your amu.. really nice! I wish you good luck that you will find soon the necessary crafting option. Your gem plan sounds very good to me. It would just be a pitty if maim wouldn't be linked anymore with skeletons... they profit from it, too, not only the aura. That was a very clever gem decision by Wrecker_of_Days.

"Hey RSCCCC! You've received lots of responses so far and I took another look today. You've made some good changes for sure. I think though, if you're unimpressed with both the survivability of the build and the offence, you'd be better off making sure you're surviving first. Since the zombies don't really die, it's fine to keep the zombie links offensive. Maim, Feeding Frenzy, Deathmark, etc. You can add a monkey from Act 2 that give allies frenzy charges along with a couple of defensive spectres like the Undying Evangelist. When you look at some of the most recent gameplay that I've had (sorry it's been a while), does my damage and survivability match yours? https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

"Nice find dlvbrown1969! Some times quality sucks for the build you're using, sometimes it makes a world of difference. I agree with your choice. It's nice! https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

Hey Wrecker,
Another nice build, thanks again. Was pretty solid for most things, the only problem I had toward the late game was killing things more quickly than things would kill me, and honestly it's probably more of me being unfamiliar with mechanics and timing of bosses. For example, the Catalina fight was pretty bad since I had no idea about the detonate dead thing and it one-shots me. Otherwise, I'm not sure if it's just my gear or what even though I feel like my gear is adequate, especially since I was SSF this league. I swapped Phantasms for Deathmark which I feel helped out quite a bit, especially for Alva incursions. Never played a minion build before so I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of content I was able to go through! Cheers, Zen |

Yesterday my witch killed the Elder. I didn't even die once and I didn't lose even on zombie, although the minion life was replaced with Deathmark.
My minions managed to keep the Shaper alive, since the Elder finally dropped me a (useless) Watcher's Eye... and the unique belt with perfect 15 % increased attributes. The Elder is much easier than the Shaper, in my opinion. Maybe because the fight takes less long. I find it hard to stay concentrated for looooooong boss fights. They wear me out after a couple of minutes. Zombie on, everyone! Overwhelmed by Path of Exile? You might want to have a look at Wrecker_of_Days' beginner-friendly guides.

"Thanks Zen5034! I'm glad you progressed well and that you're enjoying it! The damage on this build isn't HUGE but it's not bad either. I chose a more defensive setup to ensure the Zombies don't die at in the harshest of circumstances. I'm currently testing a more offensive version to see how zombies handle life and will apply it to 3.12 if it's appropriate with the upcoming league changes. But you are also correct that some of these battles just take familiarity. That Catarina fight is just odd. I've done it many times since it was league content and I still forget how it functions sometimes. Also, if you're comfortable with the playstyle of the build, make the build as offensive as you like! (Like you did with Deathmark.) Thanks for the kind post! I hope the build continues to work well for you. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

"Awesome job Caligula_Exile! That fight was always so hard for me because it's just grey upon grey upon grey and I couldn't see anything. So I was the opposite as you, I preferred Shaper over Elder. But great job! That fight has been buffed lots since 3.9 so you've done well! Good for you and your (useless) Watcher's Eye! Zombie on. https://www.ForeverExiled.com/: Forever Exiled, A Path of Exile Podcast

" I managed to defeat Shaper in Blight league, with the predecessor of this Zombie necromancer. Very time-consuming, the fight. And the screen extremely busy. You are right, though, grey on grey isn't a pleasure for the eyes either. I spent all the fragments I had been collecting throughout the entire league. 4 or 5 fights against the Elder, in total, in a row. I only died once. Maybe I was standing on poo ground I didn't notice in time :) I guess 2 watcher's eyes are an awesome outcome for just 4 or 5 fights. However, I don't think that any of them is good enough to be used. Well, something for the trophecies stash tab is good, too. On a side-note: Does Vaal Grace count as Grace, too?

" I just spammed the add remove attack on a Convoking wand. Was just trying to get some good minion modifiers, but this was a good result too! RSCCCC |

" I agree. Now that I got some new offensive gear. I'm going to focus on my defensive play including maxing my chaos resist and seeing if I can up my life a bit as well. I also think I'll go back to my defensive spectre set up. Thanks! RSCCCC |
