It's good early game but once you start using flame wall with srs you should switch to arsonist with the 2 additional projectile support gem. The gas ability from archers is wasted because it will detonate from flame wall. Also fortress gem is a must for flame wall that makes it into a circle that way no matter where your arsonist are positioned their bombs will always go through the wall adding more fire damage. From raging skulls, the gem that provides more damage but makes you take more damage is a must simple because enemies do not attack the skulls anyway so it is I believe a 30% straight damage increase with no downside. Then to top the build off I get rid of unearth because it becomes unnecessary once you have srs as that should be all your casting. Instead I run the ability that spikes one of your minions to provide a buff to all the others including the skulls.
This is by far not an optimized build but it is a fun one. If you have to go with snipers, use scattershot and spam that sniper command. It makes pretty explosions. Once you start having difficulties you can drop the snipers for arsonists and nake sure scattershot goes on those. Arsonists do out dps the flaming skulls but flaming skulls are always there after a boss has stomped your minions. I would also say the most important affix you want on your items is plus to minion levels and spirit. If you can get both it is a top tier item. An 'easy' way to get more spirit is to improve the quality on your scepter, especialy if you are a few points short of another minion. I like minion witch that stacks strenght because it is very survivable. Use armor and shield and you can get pretty far with trash equipment. But most of all have fun. If a buuld isnt fun, play something else that is.
A good combo is raging spirits,and fireball, the fireball summons a ton of skulls. Especially if you do the support gem that makes you able to cast 3 of them at once if you wait long enough
I've gone for a more "F it" approach. Since my skele warrs were dying all the time, I've turned them in to bombers instead. I use the infernal hound and found that the clear speed was better exploding the skeletal warriors over the sniper gas clouds. I use the same flamewall setup with SRS. I have grim feast and flammability with too
Currently level 26 on my witch, got 4 skeleton warriors 2 arsonists and can summon the flaming skulls with fire spells (I spawn 2 solar orbs simultaneously and get 8 skulls). Add to that my spike tower to “motivate” my skeletons to fight harder, and the suicide bomber abilities of the arsonists being applicable to the skulls too, and it feels like I’m playing a mini RTS sometimes.
Funny, your build is similar to mine, and I am only level 46. I even had similar support gems like you, but then I swapped them out for another arrangement. Plus I also curse and use the infernal hound. And I dropped the skeleton warriors. I should do my second ascendancy trial for more spirit haha. Also using discipline and in there the life regen aura for allies, there is even room for clarity as long as the spirit doesn't allow another sniper. So besides arrows, for bosses raging spirits and curses, with many corpses raging spirits and unearth. Got my brutality unearthed to last longer though, I might switch back to the 15% life explosion one. Had the lasting longer support gem in the raging spirits, but those got the 25% of physical dmg added as fire dmg on it, besides the 30% more dmg dealt but 20% more taken, since they don't seem to be able to die. On my snipers I got Bidding for 30% more dmg with commands and Comorbidity for +1 poison applied and/but 30% less poison time. On my flamewall I also got 25% faster casting but Spell Cascade. I guess I wanted my hound and the snipers to also to trigger more ignite/burning. On Flammability I got more AoE and Impending Doom but I could take out Impending Doom. I hope that was coherent. Oh, and on my infernal hound I got meat shield for more life for more burning, elemental army and maim.
It's a bit annoying that actually all so-called Minion Builds in this game are basically 'have minions running around but damage comes from whatever other source'-builds.
Great tips. I am pretty sure that I miss something. You say "Once you have four or five snipers..." 4 / 5 snipers cost 200 / 250 Spirit. In my first, say, 50 hours over all characters I played in Act I, I got exactly one item that raises spirit, by 35. One. In 50 hours. Netting me 0.7 additional snipers. That would make a bit more than 1 sniper per 100 hours. Which act should I farm for a collection of items that give me these 100 or 150 extra spirit, in addition to the default 100? Does spirit drop plenty after Act I? Or do I "just" have to play for a few hundred hours for a minion build? As I said, I am sure that I miss something. Not sure what, though.
1. Skeletal sniper gets cheaper as you level the gem. The cost is 33 spirit at gem level 10. 2. You get 2 x 30 spirit permanent buffs during the campaign. 3. +spirit items are far apart, but they can be found (helps to check the vendors regularly). And you can also find scepters with % spirit increase (which seems to be more common).
I used all of your tutorials for Lords of the Fallen. Massively helpful!! I absolutely love your content and the friendly way you convey information. You also have a very pleasant, friendly voice which makes your videos a joy to listen to.
I really like this build. Though i'm going to squeeze in Detonate dead. Ive been using it and its just too good. as soon as 1 corpse dies, everything around it dies. Its just too good
use a controller, or use a mouse with extra key bindable mouse buttons so you don’t have to keyboard mash for skills, if that fails try making a build that requires less skills
not a stupid question, it's not very intuitive at first, when I saw it as 2 i just assumed it meant 2 of them were present. 2 on the Skill represents how many charges it has.
I'm level 7 I have 5 skeletion knight (two from wand on left hand ,three from my skill) and with just Contagion and Unearth we're weck everything on the map so fast. I'm so shock 😂
@domsroundtable, your Witch build guide is amazing! 💥 One thing that isn't mentioned is it takes about 1/2 way through Act 1 until you can get Raging Spirits and Flame Wall. You only mention that you swapped them out. I feel it is important to keep using Essence Drain and Contagion until you get to that point in the game.
My witch is so strong it literally skips boss phases and I have 13 skeletal arsonists and 2 skeletal lightning mages and 2 skeletal healers and my pet hellhound lol
@Watermelonboi224 Well I have a unique body armor that gives me +100 spirit but I lose some resistances and health, I also got a unique shield that gives me +50 spirit, my amulet also gives me +65 spirit, my scepter gives me +179 spirit and my inferlists skill tree gives me more spirit and the campaign gives you spirit to.
I dont like how the devs try to shoehorn in elemental reactions to every build. It's too powerful on a necro to ignore, but i don't want to be a fire necro...
This build works ok for the first two acts and starts to struggle a bit on act 3. Once you get to cruel its tough. Damage output is non existent. Now if you get lucky with the streamer drops when it comes to mats or gear then you will be fine. Ive got 71 hours as of today and have still only found 2 exalted orbs 1 regal and 0 of any of the jewelers orbs. I was under the impression that the vendors were supposed to refresh when you level but that doesnt seem to be the case for me i have screen shots of the same gear with the same stats/lvl in the vendor for 5 or 6 levels. And even when they do refresh its been completely useless garbage for any of my builds. Ive pretty much run into the same wall with most of my characters at this point and its sucking the fun out of the game. I dont even see the point in farming for anything because the drop rates for anything useful is soo abysmal anyways. I dont think spending another couple hours running around in the same area is going to up my chances of getting stuff i didnt get the first time i spent an hour or whatever it took to completely clear the area. The games fun when stuff works but the steep rise in the difficulty with no way to counter it is starting to wear on me a bit. im not stranger to spending hours farming for things but jesus 71 hours and 2 exalted orbs is just ridiculous.
@@zealous944 not sure i may have missed that. But still doesnt change the fact that there are still people out here like me that have 70+ hours in the game and a basic mechanic of the game still doesnt work even after they "fixed" drop rates. 2 exalted orbs in 70 hours is a freaking joke. I am just gonna wait until they fix it and come back to the game. its only been a week so im sure they will be changing alot of stuff fairly frequently.
the higher level you are, the higher quality your loot drops. also, through campaign + cruel, there are guaranteed 2 lesser jeweller drops. you aren't exploring thoroughly enough.
@@spotlessline Im lvl 52 on my main and in the upper 30's or 40's on my other 3 characters and i full clear every map and complete all of the side bosses/points of interest. Not sure what else I can do at this point. Drops suck. Vendors sucks, upgrade currency drops are essentially non existent. Not sure what I can do thats any different. Im in cruel 3 with my main btw not sure how much higher I can get at this point without making it to endgame.
1 in 4096 is the probability 25% of 25% of 25% of 25 of 25% of 25% = 1/4*1/4*1/4*1/4*1/4*1/4 = (1/4)^6 = 1/4096

Not using snipers, Arsonists, and I plan on using other minions to replace arsonists[not going to follow what all these guides say since I see people complaining about how their builds start failing in cruel/maps, going to see if brute is theractual carry or ice mages]
lol, i was hoping for some tips, but as a newb in PoE, i somehow went the same route as this guy.... hahahahaha... was wondering how act 2 was so god damn smooth. xD
Sadly I took a different skill and not raging spirit after having the choice in chapter 1. Now I'm already Level 25 but never had a chance on getting it. Is there still a way in the game to switch it out?
Absolutely yes. When you get an uncut SPIRIT gem (not skill gem) to drop, you'll be able to turn that into RS at whatever lvl the gem is. You could also simply hop on the trade site and buy either an uncut spirit gem or an RS gem. Probably pretty cheap. A high level one may cost 1 exalt right now. That's an educated guess, so don't get mad at me if that price is wrong, lol.
Also, if you're new to PoE, I'll let ya know that there is never going to be a scenario wherein you're stuck using a particular skill/weapon/piece of gear. You'll have to farm, craft, or trade for the item you want, but you're never stuck with most things in this game. There are exceptions, of course, but it's a good rule of thumb. When in doubt, Google, YT, or the PoE wiki is your best friend. Just type in whatever question you're trying to answer into the search bar, and there's almost always an explanation or guide a click or two away. Hope this helps! Good luck and have fun! Edit: also global chat! Forgot to add that. Type a question in chat, and a lot of times, people will answer it for you.
@@AxelordSMIJES Thanks a lot! Great to hear that those gems can be drops, too. So far I never found one this way. Price is ok too since I don't think Exalts are as rare as in the first game. This or I got lucky. Already have 15 of them. I'm not new to the concept, but I'm more of a casual. I played the first game at the very beginning, but stopped after I beat the story. Kinda like me playing Diablo games. So I usually don't take a big part at the big part of grinding and repeating stuff afterwards. I'm still in chapter 2, so I will try a few more hours to get such a gem drop before I ask the chat for one that sells it. I like it more if I am able to achieve things on my own. Thanks again.
Just an FYI, I think next time you make something like this, perhaps "Time" the Bosses, make changes and Time the Bosses again so you can report on just how much faster they go down. These fights still look really long to me. My Sorc does a bunch of these "crazy" fast, which is meaningless w/o a number of Seconds though. My Two Cents.
you skipped the part where you can get 50 minions at once? thats the only reason i stayed lmfao, im using scepter for 3% dmg per undead mob, but i assume that was going to count flame skulls or what
I dont think raging spirits are in the game. I cant find them anywhere xD I have searched in every place I can search ingame and I cant see RagingSpirits anywhere. I have manually read them. I have looked in the Gemcutting, SupportGems, and pasive skills.. cant see them anywhere. Level 27 witch
@@masonbronson3194 I still wanted to put it here so that other new players with the same question would get some insight.. I have no rush, I don't have them now. and If I cant see them in game then they are not there or I am simply not able to access them yet. Either way nothing will change my current situation as I don't have them xD And I haven't found the required item to make them happen or unlocked the whatever, Yet. The Fun part about not having answers to ever question is discovery! until then I still have a lot too learn!
SRS is one of the sorcerers skills and you need a spirit gem to get it to work. You then also need a fire skill - flame wall is good- for the spirits to activate in. The minion witch build takes a few things from sorcerer.
@@skybluepink41 I did search everywhere there was to search but nothing showed up. Thanks for the replays I guessed that I had not got what was required yet. & if you say a Spirit gem is what's needed then, indeed I have yet to get one. I'm mostly through ActII now. so I'm guessing I will see more soon
Raging Spirit + Infernal Legion + Minion Instability. Why does everyone keep missing this combo? Why do people put minion instability on bone constructs?
The problem with that combo is if you run clerics, which many do in the later stages, they'll be spending much of their time focused on healing dying raging spirits, rather than the minions you want to keep alive.
Whats the difference between bone constructs and zombies? I find using bone constructs they are very fragile and die too quickly to be effective most of the time
Bone constructs is like your "oh shit" button. And easier to use than raising a zombie one by one.. With a big pack, its always easier to just press once and then potentially 12 constructs could spawn, where as single raising zombies takes a lot of time that u could spend on just doing ANY/MANY other action(s), like raw damage..
I have a really storng build for clearing with curse auras en flaming enhancsd zombies. But it relies too much on the zombies so it has 0 boss damage 😢
I'm in a similar boat, was determined not to use any guides, and my zombie build just fell off in act 2, had to switch to SRS, which I'm not enjoying at all
@@kxaamos Mine hard-carried me through acts 1 and 2, and even in 3. But final act 3 boss (i think?) is just taking 3 years to kill. Not to even mention the Trial of Chaos....
Gas arrow is just like any other active spell u have. Its a command u do, that works like a spell. Bind it and you're all set ^^ Obviously, it wont work, if your minion isnt alive and so forth..
Build so good you have to endure 15 minutes looking at slow ass, sorry ass act 2 boss slogfest, and it's supposed to be 'faster and better' than some previous version... Brother in christ you would spend like 15 seconds tops on that boss with scattershot+fire bonuses on gas arrow spam and blowing it up, no need for useless unearth, no need for aome other umderoptimized garbage. So many noob trap farming videos around here it's insane, I'm running out of popcorn
Yea, just made a witch, was hoping for more damage. My warrior literally leaps in and deletes packs. Face tanks main bosses, and kills them usually in under 30 seconds. Lower damage than the dps classes, but the fact I don’t even have to dodge…,
Well going from any skeletal units to arsonists and supporting them hard made the biggest change... And based what you showed i would say about 200-300% more dmg if not more
well this build is no longer useful as raging spirits doesn't exist as a skill as of 12-15. Apparently they are nerfing the skill into the ground. maybe just maybe spend less time describing a weak build as insane? apparently someone from GGG watched something like this video and just started nerfing......
raging spirits exists, but you need an uncut spirit gem to get this. I believe that gem drops from a boss at some point in Act 1. It will be the gem that has persistent skills/auras. Instead of choosing an aura, you choose raging spirits for 30 spirit.
Using terms like "insane minion build", "destroys everything" or "op witch guide" while still in early campaign, where you can use everything you want to have the same result, if not better, is clickbait bullshit at it finest and should absolutly be banned and forbidden. For all new players coming to PoE2 looking for guides: Avoid this! Its pure clickbaiting with no value!
Sad but true. I would like to see my skeletons do good damage, but it's all about the elemental combinations right now. I wanted to play as a necromancer, not some 2-combo alchemist. Hopefully they change that up as poe2 necromancer is back seat to poe1. Backtracking.

Which support gems do u use on the arsonist ? I can’t find the double projectile support gem .. am I tripping
@@FadedShmeak its a hunter support, if you click all gems on the bottom left you can search for it too

But most of all have fun. If a buuld isnt fun, play something else that is.
Agreed, while using tons of different minions is fun, this is just poorly made SRS build
i thought arsonists were useless without the command ability to sacrifice unearth´s constructs
A good combo is raging spirits,and fireball, the fireball summons a ton of skulls. Especially if you do the support gem that makes you able to cast 3 of them at once if you wait long enough
awesome ,thanks for taking the time, im using the build now ! SUBBED LIKED
Switch to brutes +clerics with sacrifice and corpse explosion. you can get like 50k life on brutes, and corpse explosion will do 20% of that.
What other skill gem set up would be like with using those brute, clerics?
i compare my basic skeleton 9k hp bruts aroun 13, but cost much more
1 / 4199 times that’s the odds of getting that skill to trigger six times in a row
But games don't the most accurate chance calculates, and often even use fudged algorithms.
Awesome couple of videos, can't wait to see the end build!
I've gone for a more "F it" approach. Since my skele warrs were dying all the time, I've turned them in to bombers instead.

As I said, I am sure that I miss something. Not sure what, though.
pick infernalist as your ascension and get the upgrade that gives 1 spirit per 25 hp
1. Skeletal sniper gets cheaper as you level the gem. The cost is 33 spirit at gem level 10.
2. You get 2 x 30 spirit permanent buffs during the campaign.
3. +spirit items are far apart, but they can be found (helps to check the vendors regularly). And you can also find scepters with % spirit increase (which seems to be more common).

Just type in whatever question you're trying to answer into the search bar, and there's almost always an explanation or guide a click or two away. Hope this helps! Good luck and have fun!
Edit: also global chat! Forgot to add that. Type a question in chat, and a lot of times, people will answer it for you.
@@AxelordSMIJES Thanks a lot! Great to hear that those gems can be drops, too. So far I never found one this way. Price is ok too since I don't think Exalts are as rare as in the first game. This or I got lucky. Already have 15 of them. I'm not new to the concept, but I'm more of a casual. I played the first game at the very beginning, but stopped after I beat the story. Kinda like me playing Diablo games. So I usually don't take a big part at the big part of grinding and repeating stuff afterwards. I'm still in chapter 2, so I will try a few more hours to get such a gem drop before I ask the chat for one that sells it. I like it more if I am able to achieve things on my own. Thanks again.
I'm running the same minions tho different supports, passives and gear I just melted that boss in 10 seconds aside from phase
How to you get so many skeletal snipers??
Just an FYI, I think next time you make something like this, perhaps "Time" the Bosses, make changes and Time the Bosses again so you can report on just how much faster they go down. These fights still look really long to me. My Sorc does a bunch of these "crazy" fast, which is meaningless w/o a number of Seconds though. My Two Cents.
U do know that chest pieces can have +spirit as well, ye? xD
you skipped the part where you can get 50 minions at once? thats the only reason i stayed lmfao, im using scepter for 3% dmg per undead mob, but i assume that was going to count flame skulls or what
Have supports listed on screen, this is a terrible way to present a build.
I dont think raging spirits are in the game. I cant find them anywhere xD
I have searched in every place I can search ingame and I cant see RagingSpirits anywhere.
I have manually read them.
I have looked in the Gemcutting, SupportGems, and pasive skills..
cant see them anywhere.
Level 27 witch
@@masonbronson3194 I still wanted to put it here so that other new players with the same question would get some insight..
I have no rush, I don't have them now. and If I cant see them in game then they are not there or I am simply not able to access them yet.
Either way nothing will change my current situation as I don't have them xD
And I haven't found the required item to make them happen or unlocked the whatever, Yet.
The Fun part about not having answers to ever question is discovery!
until then I still have a lot too learn!
SRS is one of the sorcerers skills and you need a spirit gem to get it to work. You then also need a fire skill - flame wall is good- for the spirits to activate in. The minion witch build takes a few things from sorcerer.
Also you can use the search bar in the skills board to find things.
@@skybluepink41 I did search everywhere there was to search but nothing showed up.
Thanks for the replays I guessed that I had not got what was required yet.
& if you say a Spirit gem is what's needed then, indeed I have yet to get one.
I'm mostly through ActII now. so I'm guessing I will see more soon
i use corpse explosion. its op
Will there be a written guide?
Raging Spirit + Infernal Legion + Minion Instability.
Why does everyone keep missing this combo?
Why do people put minion instability on bone constructs?
The problem with that combo is if you run clerics, which many do in the later stages, they'll be spending much of their time focused on healing dying raging spirits, rather than the minions you want to keep alive.
@BoKruse clerics shouldn't be targeting SRS, that might be a bug, you sure that happens? I don't use clerics so I haven't tested it.
Whats the difference between bone constructs and zombies? I find using bone constructs they are very fragile and die too quickly to be effective most of the time
bone constructs are made by upheaval skill while zombies are their own thing. Zombies are quite tanky
Bone constructs is like your "oh shit" button. And easier to use than raising a zombie one by one.. With a big pack, its always easier to just press once and then potentially 12 constructs could spawn, where as single raising zombies takes a lot of time that u could spend on just doing ANY/MANY other action(s), like raw damage..
I have a really storng build for clearing with curse auras en flaming enhancsd zombies. But it relies too much on the zombies so it has 0 boss damage 😢
I'm in a similar boat, was determined not to use any guides, and my zombie build just fell off in act 2, had to switch to SRS, which I'm not enjoying at all
@@kxaamos Mine hard-carried me through acts 1 and 2, and even in 3. But final act 3 boss (i think?) is just taking 3 years to kill. Not to even mention the Trial of Chaos....
My witch build is surprisingly a lot better. Using flame hound, skeletol reapers with tons of damage, armor debuff and increased damage buffs.
can u do warrior pls? i am struggling
how do u activate gas arrow on the ground?...i have skeletal sniper which are spawning but i dont know how to use gas arrow
This is my first game of this type . Big learning curve for me . Just had this problem. You have to bind the gas to a button. I used L1 on PS5.
Gas arrow is just like any other active spell u have. Its a command u do, that works like a spell. Bind it and you're all set ^^ Obviously, it wont work, if your minion isnt alive and so forth..
@@TheAlkochef You also have to click the plus sign on the skill to allocate spirt!
@@Lost3DPrints true, and u can see your sur-plus of spirit by hovering over your mana orb in the bottom right corner :)
Build so good you have to endure 15 minutes looking at slow ass, sorry ass act 2 boss slogfest, and it's supposed to be 'faster and better' than some previous version... Brother in christ you would spend like 15 seconds tops on that boss with scattershot+fire bonuses on gas arrow spam and blowing it up, no need for useless unearth, no need for aome other umderoptimized garbage. So many noob trap farming videos around here it's insane, I'm running out of popcorn
Ya, this was lame. I agree. Why do I even click on this.
Yea, just made a witch, was hoping for more damage. My warrior literally leaps in and deletes packs. Face tanks main bosses, and kills them usually in under 30 seconds. Lower damage than the dps classes, but the fact I don’t even have to dodge…,
Well going from any skeletal units to arsonists and supporting them hard made the biggest change... And based what you showed i would say about 200-300% more dmg if not more
i cant get a gem to drop to get raging spirits :(
So no arsonist???
Do you not think that the use of "INSANE" and OP in your title is just click-bait?
Why cant I find raging spirits?
Raging spirits requires an Uncut Spirit Gem, they're really rare. If you're in act 1 there's a guide, if you're in act 2+ they have a chance to drop
Jewel 13:59 KEK LOL
Зафиг я посмотрел видео от "специалиста", который даже акты еще не прошел.
Но микрофон звучит шикарно.
Why does bro copy my build? Kappa
joke joke pls no ban D:
25% being hit six times in a row is 0.02%
Sadly I took a different Buff thd
well this build is no longer useful as raging spirits doesn't exist as a skill as of 12-15. Apparently they are nerfing the skill into the ground. maybe just maybe spend less time describing a weak build as insane? apparently someone from GGG watched something like this video and just started nerfing......
raging spirits exists, but you need an uncut spirit gem to get this. I believe that gem drops from a boss at some point in Act 1. It will be the gem that has persistent skills/auras. Instead of choosing an aura, you choose raging spirits for 30 spirit.
Using terms like "insane minion build", "destroys everything" or "op witch guide" while still in early campaign, where you can use everything you want to have the same result, if not better, is clickbait bullshit at it finest and should absolutly be banned and forbidden.
For all new players coming to PoE2 looking for guides:
Avoid this! Its pure clickbaiting with no value!
Pure Necromancer Build sucks, its way too weak, gotta take elemental skills.
Sad but true. I would like to see my skeletons do good damage, but it's all about the elemental combinations right now. I wanted to play as a necromancer, not some 2-combo alchemist. Hopefully they change that up as poe2 necromancer is back seat to poe1. Backtracking.
Meh its ok. This isnt the best way to do the SRS build.
This building is sad, my is 10x better 😂
Glad you wasted time in your day to say this lol.
Flame wall is so boring, doesn't fit with summoner archetype
U can make it a circle tho, if thats any better D:
Well looking at your boss dpd this build is mediocre at best, you are gimping yourself not using arsonists with SRS
nothing insane in this build at all. Ive killed last act2 boss within 1 min on witch. So much wasted potential and wrong advices
Click Bait title, sad, should be ashame.
lackluster
Боже что это такое(
Delete This.
Well there goes my build....everyone's going to be trying to run this. Nerf incoming.
