Great build! Love the idea of using the Reavers as your "friends" since they don’t affect boss scaling, plus their damage and aggro management is a game-changer. The Nebula synergy for that 50% damage boost is genius! Definitely trying out the Soul Stone and testing Burden of the Destroyer for more DPS. Thanks for the awesome breakdown! 👏
I've had a zookeeper build for quite a while. I run Handler support dog as primary for solo run revives or helping teammates and use the Flyers as secondaries. I too use the Blackmaw with Familiar (with Feedback) but I use Repair Tool with Knight Guard (and Harmonizer) as my secondary. Repair tool heals summons in addition to adding ammo/energy to drones and turrets. I also use Soul Link instead of Soul Guard, since at any given time I will have 6 active summons and all that lifesteal is just too good to pass up. I got the legendary 50% mod regen, so I also use Leaking Gemstone + Cataloger's Jewel since both Familiar and Knight Guard are "timer" mods, so that when they expire I can re-summon them immediately. I also max out Strong Back so I can wear the Zealot set as a lightweight so I can use Zero Hour amulet, which is slightly better than Soul Anchor since it adds crit chance. Since I'm using Flyers, I'm not worried about their movement speed. Enjoyed watching your run with Chaos yesterday. Keep up the good work.
@@MetalBeastGG At work right now, but off the top of my head maxed out Spirit, Chakra, Vigor, Siphoner, Leech, and Strong Back (for light rolls with Zealot armor). Profane heart to max out the lifesteal
@@MetalBeastGG Just got home, and I no longer have Siphoner (just Leech to max out Profane Heart). I swapped Siphoner for Insight since the goal is to always have 6 summons out stealing life for you.
Fun fact: the Corrupted Meridian, despite it being unable to harm allies, will actually proc Enraged on your Root minions. So you can do good damage with CM while also procing Enraged and not needing to worry about accidentally killing your minions.
I used your build as a base for mine using the invoker with way of meidra instead of the handler and using crimson dreamstone instead of soul shard, a lot of healing and a lot of skill damage for minions, it worked very well, fun fact, in the Portuguese translation of the game the Summoner and the invoker have the same name, it was very confusing for me 😂
Considering the insane amount of farming one needs for this, it is definitely not a very safe choice. Impact/vulkan + shield drone with either stagger immune or inf energy would be considerably more tanky just via 80% DR and either regen or vamp.
Yeah that's true but this is just a setup for someone who wants to run summoner. Also I have provided 3 builds in the video and the one with bulwark is extremely tanky
That's the build I'm currently working on, but I use Root Hollows with Thorn to trigger Domination. For ammo sustain I just use the Infinite Pocket ring to recover a full clip of Thorn whenever I reload from empty.
Hi Mr.Nacho! Great build, i have been struggling to make a viable apoc summoner build that uses reaver as well! Currently working on getting the perfect prism, i just had one question. Which concotions are you using for the build?
Maybe I missed it, but how do you have 2 reavers? On mine, it says I can only have one. You also mentioned having up to four minions, how do I do that??? Love your content, just starting out, and you’ve definitely given me a great head start!
From my testing Crit Damage and Weakspot Fragment doesn't affect minions, at least not the Reavers. Edit: It also does not appear to affect mod summons.
You know you can as well equip atonement fold + blood bond and Kinship so your Reaver's will be in constant damages and have the constant buff,i hope i get this perfect prism one day.
Yeah that works as well but it takes a ring slot, gives me bleed and I need to spend at least one point into blood bond. Also it limits the healing received so I am not a huge fan of that idea, but I do know that it works.
Wouldn't the warden with attack drone be much better as a secondary? While the dog does give nice buffs, it cant hit ranged enemies and it does not boost mod dmg. 🤔
It boosts skill damage a bit, gives healing, actually does nice damage itself assuming it can hit the enemy and the warden drone would be ok except it can damage allies and the 10% buff to firerate that it gives us is just useless in this scenario. I would pair warden with engineer and I will do that in some video soon ish:)
@@Mr-Nacho420 Warden/Engineer is busted imo. Its pretty hard to die. Was the first build I made as soon as the DLC dropped. I use: - Nightweaver's Grudge - Atonement Fold - Probability Cord - Ring of Ordnance - A'Taerii Booster All that with Leto II (or Leto I if you don't care about dodging too much). As for skills I really prefer Attack Drone and either Vulcan or Impact Cannon are fine. Go Shield Drone if struggling with dodging (Heavy Carry dodge is busted). As for traits, maxed Vigor, Endurance, Strong Back (switch for something else if using Leto I), Regrowth, Triage, Footwork (great for simple sidestepping projectiles while shooting), Siphoner, Barkskin, and for the last points Swiftness or Untouchable are ok; those are basically just my priority tbh. You don't need skill cooldown or anything cuz of Ring of Ordnance. As for weapons, I kinda don't even use them but some mods could be useful, like Song of Eafir, Flying Bomb Trap, Fargazer (?), idk. My prism is pretty balanced all around, equipped with Skill Damage, Skill Crit Chance and Critical Damage and having the following fragments: - Tank - Longevity - Pirate - Revitalize - Mod Power Regen - Jack of All Trades The build slants more towards damage but its tanky enough imo, and I think it could do even better if I specialized the prism a bit more with Wizard and Skill Damage, or maybe make space for more tanky fusion fragments.
That’s means you keep your xp? Exactly what I was talking with my brother last night, if you want to remake another build you just lost your legendary, not all the fifty’s?
I'm sure question will always fall to 'how does it fare against apoc Lydusa' since it's the most annoying gauntlet boss especially for elemental builds
Sorry for a odd question since im newer to remnant 2 but how do you have 2 reavers i normaly can only have 1 out. They are my fav ability in the game just love my chunks running around wrecking things.
With merciless you'd want to go with a regular hugs build with abrasive whetstone momentum and other standard stuff. Also aim for sharpshooter legendary power. Not much to come up with here
im not even hating, just genuinely curious how you havent gotten the final prism for killing 500 bosses? you clearly grind the game so im just curious if you just dont like boss rush or something?
Reaver bugs out on just about anything that isn't on it's Z axis and it is a shame. Forgot to swap into the squids for the final boss of the recent expansion and big boi just stood around like a sack of unwanted potatoes. Even they archer boss in Yeasha bugs him out ..
I hate being that guy, but sometimes when them flyers just refuse to get out of the way, then i make em 🥲 like i usually wait an hour or 2 into a session with the rando who uses it first but ill be damned if a mf blocks another mod shot fml.

@@Mr-Nacho420 Because you’re playing at the easiest waves of what Boss Rush has to offer and to my knowledge which may be incorrect, the early waves of Boss Rush are actually easier than just playing Apoc in the campaign.

Hey, Mr. Nacho here, lying again and throwing some sub-optimal builds at you... again.

Yeah with small minions it is difficult for others to hit them but the upside is that they don't have to! On bosses it's much easier though :D
This happened to me today. A complete pain in the butt. I had to swap from guns to skills.
My buddy constantly complains about my minions lol but I love the ravagers!
Now imagine 3 persons using this build at the same time, the madness on screen

Yoooo I'm here for the new Nacho drop. And you are using summoner, which folks have been looking down on as a choice recently. Well done!
Summoner is my favorite class by far. I am really happy I made it work! :)

You can easly use self bleed and your minions will be enraged all the time.
Tried this build in boss rush, first world boss was shahala and had a pretty terrible time. It's really good against ground bosses like Kaeula though.
seems the dps isn't very high, so my concern would by lydusa's dps check. can it pass?
Thats what i wanna know too

I'm still on the warden train but I'll try this build out looks like fun
It is! I have something coming up for warden as well :)
Great build! How do you get double Reavers?
It's thanks to legendary power on the prism. I explain it in the video :)
did u not watch the friggin video
You can get perma-enrage with attonement fold (or similar self-damage) and the damage transfer trait
Yeah I know but I didn't want to use a ring slot for that since I can activate it manually and it lasts a minute
