great build mate, just one question, why zombies? just for the bodies to soak random projectiles or there is something into it?

Yeah, 92 should be just fine, I have seen and heard about that version and I think it is way weaker compared to this setup.

We have 5% taunt chance on 1 jewel, you could increase that but lets take 5% as our taunt chance for a calculation base on my character.
I have 10 zombies, 4 spectres and 1 stone golem. That gives my minions 5% taunt chance per attack, with the increased number of minions I have the higher chance for my minions to taunt the monsters. This gives us a lot of defensive layer and as a diversion to either block the attacks or taunt the enemies in tight spots.

We already have godlike defences but my motto is "If you are dead you are dealing 0 damage" so building more defence layers at the lowest cost always is worthwhile in the long term. This is another reason why I am using heretical guardian as my 4th spectre cuz the proximity shield gives us an insane dmg cover from outside sources.

That’s what I assumed. I can’t currently afford minion life on helmet, so I’m running this in 4 link setup with spectres and zombies, if I’m not that fond of zombies, ele army or meat shield would be better swap to support spectres and ag? Exposure on hit seems nice as well as ele resistances but I’m new to summoner staff

Thanks for the confirmation--follow up question. What would you say the most important upgrade is after the shield? I'm a really low skill player so I typically never have more than 3ish EX and so the 12+ ex single items are just out of my budget so I'm trying to be judicious in my choices....

There are some really nice interactions with Ashes of the Stars.

- Anomalous Molten Shell gives 10K Shield
- Divergent Animate guardian gets a nice health boost
- Divergent Bone offering gives +2 Extra block (was able to buy cheaper 4% implicit Aegis - Would also have worked with Anomalous Tempest Shield but that's 7Ex)

Just need to save up for awakened spell echo and I am pretty much set

Yep, it is very beneficial for us, I just don't prefer it in my final build.

curious why you dont prefer it, it looks like a straight dps upgrade to me
