Great guide, definitely gonna try this out in 3.5. Just wanted to say thanks for your clear guides, the Thicc Jugg one was great and I had a great time playing it. Looking forward to trying this one out too. :)
Hey I just started PoE and found your videos. Just wanted to let you know you're editing skills are so much better and organized than most others, even those not even related to Path of Exile.
So i went with this build for a few reasons, i was already deep in on summoning, the gear for it was cheap, and something a little less intense from an attention point of view were all part of why i tried it, and you know what! it works great! I even manage to fiddle with it a little and get 8 zombies, two specters and a lighting Golem in their to spread projectile weakness via curse on hit support and projectile weakness linked with the golem gem on my boots. (at least i assume it's working please correct me if I'm wrong) Overall it's a great built for my first time though and it's really made my friends who started with me want to try some cool builds as well! THANKS!
First off, I am loving your videos and guides. I am very new to POE (Less then 100 hours) and your videos have been an immense help to me starting off. But one thing I wish you would add to your build guides that would be really nice is a skill rotation or some info on how to cast your abilities. Yes I know some builds are of course very obvious an doesn't need to be mentioned. But one of your last build guides I have actually started making, the Toxic Rain Assassin. In the guide there are two six links both supporting toxic rain and you never really explained why. I watched the video about 4 times to see if I just missed it and I couldn't find it anywhere. After getting further into the build I am starting to see why and I think I have it figured out. But a short explanation would have been nice. Either way I love your guides, Keep in up! :)
Also a new player here, prob under 30 hours. If he had 2 six links both running toxic rain my thoughts would be he maybe had a vaal toxic rain in one???
The second one was a ranged totem setup so you can have two sets going down at a time.. three including your mirage archer, but i personally dont count her.
I would love to see an updated version of this build for 3.8 they changed a lot of the skill tree so it would be interesting to see what could be squeezed into or out of this build with such changes. all in all still using this build as my pain thank you for the video.
I enjoyed this build so much. Expensive for the staff in the league start, but worth it in the end. This was just so much fun to play and have so many minions just obliterating the place. Easily can have over 60 minions down and just collect the sweet loot. Thank you for the great video and guide. This is one of my top builds.
3.7 Patch - NO NERFS! Possible buffs with: -Static Strike gaining increased dmg effectiveness along with being able to chain 1 additional time! -Minion targeting improved whilst using movement skills -Pride aura possible for extra phys dot if you're weird like that and can fit it in. All in all, yet another cheap build that melts maps and skele's delete bosses! As for legion mechanics, somewhat nervous but hopeful that the trash bags can penetrate large enough groups. See you later exiles! NOTE: Possible issue with summon phantasm gem now matching the support on the staff. This may not give us 10 extra phantasms. No clarification atm.
2 tips - chain pantheon, nothing else. Especially, because delves can roll it, so any chain map/delve = death. It's pretty much a must, even on softcore if you don't like dying :D Also i would really try to fit Convocation. It's just so much easier to position your phantasms, especially in delves. Once you try it, you won't drop it ever again.
The new syndicate unique "The Devouring Diadem" also works for consumption with the addition of the Feast of Flesh passive healing you by 400 per corpse consumed per 5 seconds. May try with both the boots and helm to see how they interact.
I had never played a summoner before, and then I was looking for witch builds to start the league. Decided to try this one cuz its "cheap" and then switch to a cold damage occultist after getting some money. In 3.5 its not cheap at all since staff drop rate has increased a lot, but I managed to get one on the second day of the league, and now im addicted to the build. Thanks for the guide!
if you drop the resist points on scion you can pick the extra specter from death attunement and sumon one carnage chieftain and one of the other chieftain(the one that give power charges)
I don't know if you're aware Engineering, but Elemental Equilibrium will also proc from the Death Walk effect, so if you're not careful with your desecrate and walking you'll often end up applying +25% fire res instead
its a real small aoe and it's still works for everything except the added fire which really doesn't make up a whole lot of damage. if you're walking through corpses, your phantasms already fired off anyway. More often than not they will be insta gibbing everything up to 360ish delve with lots of mods.
I found that I almost never use the static strike curse fortify setup in boss fights, because its dangerous to go that close. Instead I 5-linked my chest (belly) and put cwdt (low)-immortal call (low)-inc dur. (high)-phase run (high)-vaal haste (high) with either separate flame dash or desecrate, in my gloves blood magic-spectre, stone golem, desecrate and bought 2-abyss socket bubonic trails (expensive though) with hatred-generosity in them. You lose the fortify+curse setup but gain damage and life from an extra abyss jewel and some survivability from your golem taunts+regen and from the CWDT-immortal call link. And you dont have to melee the boss yourself like before.
I replaced the static strike setup with storm burst+curse on hit+temporal chains+culling strike, you lose the fortify buff but get culling strike, and still apply EE from afar
@@federicoramirez4686 Same, but with Stormbrand. I'm 87 now and kinda hit a wall at around T14 maps. Depending on the bosses around, they do too much area damage and really annihilate those Phantasms. Good thing i have a cyclone slayer for T15+ ^^
It feels like every time you come out with a new build, I want to quickly finish what I'm working on, and try out the new guide's build... I'm almost done (leveling 80-90) with the Molten Strike and Consecrated Path--Molten Path (?)--and now I want to try this out. The economy has shifted, and the cost is at about 1ex for the uniques necessary, but I'm really keen to try this. This feels like a book club--announce a new build, try it out, new build announced, so finish up, and get to the next one... EE Build Club lol
For 3.8 i'm doing a cyclone CWC desacrate to spirit offering. With this i've replaced bubonic trails with some good rare boots as i'm constantly creating and consuming corpes with the cyclone cwc. This also makes EE very easy and smooth to apply. However there is no fortify and curse aplication so i'm trying to find curse rings to fix that. Overall it's a great sidegrade to the static strike setup and can make you somewhat tanky.
This build is really great :) I use it atm although i decided to go for the new chest wich makes it a rly brain afk build since i only have to spawn my phantasms once in the beginning of the map and the chest keeps refreshing them for me every 5 sec :) Thanks alot!
In your written guide, under the leveling section, starting around level 18, you list a 6 link setup of Summon Raging Spirits - Melee Splash - Maim - Minion Damage - Melee Physical Damage - Minion Speed. Is that what you recommend for leveling? Get a cheap 6 link staff or chest? Thanks for your always excellent videos!
I played summoner since day 1, always found using minions relaxing as i use phase walking.. stumble into a mob because of very high run speed and then use convocation (which by the way doesnt break phase walking) to carpet bomb the still unaware mobs of enemies with zombies while running. As convocation is a minion spell my zombies get a neat +30% damage. Instantly killing everything.. Great fun, does tend to backfire sometimes though. This looks like an awsome build to play with also :)
Just some quick advice from someone whos done guardians with Souldwrest- Dont be 100% phantasm if you plan on doing endgame. It works AMAZING while mapping but in bossfights like phoenix minotaur they die too fast . Elder guardians, elder and shaper however were easier, but i do recommend using something like some +2-3 +minion life zombies to take some of the aggro off of you as you recast desecrate/ offering. To easily manage EE you can go avatar of fire with Smite and make your minions lightning/cold (and not use added fire like engineering does) which i think is also safer for mapping as minions will often shatter enemies with the cold damage. Just some more examples of how amazing Soulwrest is and how fun it is to play in 200 different ways Also spell cascade is pretty important for bossing as you summon 10 instead of 5 for every offering cast
So sorry but i sold most of my gear- However the main difference is i was using a Belly for chest, my helm didnt have the minion stuff but it had 120 life and %life, i had the double socket Stygian vyse belt and both my rings and amulet had essence/fossil crafted minion movement speed for smoother mapping. I also had loads of amazing added flat phys dmg jewels with good life, so i reached a comfortable over 7k life. Theres several great soulwrest options on the forums though and you can chose whichever you want
Cool no prob. I'm running this build now with 5 link skellies, 6L loreweave for zombies and as many flat phys jewels as possible. I also went MoM so I have a ton of EHP.
@@yeah5874 Why did you sell your gear? I'm just wondering because I'm just now putting together all my pieces and everything's coming together, but I'm finding that I'm really weak and unable to complete endgame content (cant even do red maps), will the zombies help that much? Skeletons seem like they aren't all that effective for bosses and I'm so squishy I get 1 shot even with as much defensive gear as I could muster. I'm thinking about selling all my gear and levelling up a new character, and was wondering if you did the same for the same reason.
Keep up the good work brother! I just love how detailed every videos that you create! I have a play time of maybe 50hours maybe? I am so new to the game and enjoyinh it to the max with my jugg of all trades. Will be planning to farm as much as i can with that build then follow your cyclone and molten zerker build. Just want to ask. That build can you create a revamp build for that or is that build still good with the current patch?
I just finished a working version of necro with soulwrest in 3.10. I'm a total casual at the game though but i am plowing through maps and killed baran super quick. I run zombies, vaal skellies, two golems, spectres, animated guardian, several auras and have 20 phantasms up at all times, so it is just a *swarm* of minions. There are just too many directions to improve the build for me as a casual to explore but it is fun.
I'd love to see an updated version with herald of purity and summon holy relic. Also a spell totem with desecrate and minion instability. Also some sort of heartbound loop + cwdt interaction
i am currently playing this build following this guide as i thought it was a starter build. was surprised to see the staff is now 2.5ex. hopefully the price will go down soon
its only this high in price because engineering eternity is popular, therfore assholes want to make money and hike up the pr ice. Same reason when mathil makes a build with cospris, cospris go up in price by 100%
Great guide! Here are my questions about some of the specifics: 1. With regards to the Carnage Chieftain spectre, do I need to run the entire process again (go to old fields and then to delve) each time I want to summon him? 2. With static strike, is this used consistently during clearing or is this used more for single target burning? Mainly, are you constantly spamming this attack? 3. With hatred and haste having both 50% mana reserve, how are you capable of running both simultaneously? Thanks!
I'm playing Soulwrest with TV spectres for bosskilling, I was comfortably killing Shaper and his Guardians with only 3 spectres. I've now upgraded to a 4 spectre setup and plan to take it to Uber Elder. I'm a little burned out on the game right now but I plan to come back before the league ends. Update edit: I've now killed Uber Elder but the ramp up in damage is too low to make it a good farmer. I can't kill the adds fast enough to stop the arena from getting covered in degen. This is as much a fault of my setup as it is my poor execution. The potential is definitely there but I'm benching the build (and the league) for now, I achieved my goal and the delve bosses are way too rare for me to bother.
I've played melee skeletons before and they are very strong but I don't know if I could handle summoning both skeletons and phantasms at the same time on something like Uber Elder, which is why I'm using TV spectres. If you're gonna use skeletons, I think it would probably be best to focus 100% on skeletons and just drop the staff altogether. Doing both seems like a massive hassle to me.
You don't want to stand in the area. You want to also use the flasks and you're defensive abilities for when they tp to you. You don't need auras on bar after casting as well.
hi. i have done this build one more time on bestiary. i had all item on your build guide and skil tree but i always die by cyndicate members on maps. please help me where i do mistake? my build is powerless of cyndicate members is uber powerfull? (i have 2 souldwrest for farm and boss too)
Could someone explain to me how the static strike, fortify, curse on hit, projectile weakness 4 link works. Is this triggered by me getting hit by attacks? Is it triggered by my minions attacking? Is it triggered by me using my staff to melee hit something. Sorry I am still pretty new to the game so some of the mechanics still elude me.
How Commander of darkness grant us +20% all res if we use generosity with hatred? POB shows that the buff isnt applying once you link it to generosity.
I just played a pure physical version of this build to 94 using zombies and skellies in my chest (so both are on a 5l) and the frenzy and power charge apes to buff the phantasms and single target minions. Together with permanent phase run the character was very zippy and thus fun. I have yet to kill shaper with it but judging by what I’ve seen so far and what limited help pob offers i expect something around 5 million shaper dps...
Can someone explain how the Soulwrest is NOT 6-linked? In the Google doc, all the Soulwrest gems only work if they're linked, yet several times EE says you only need 6 sockets, no links. It really doesn't help when I go to the PoE account page and the character's gear has been completely pillaged, and the video itself doesn't show the gems. Pastebin/PoB shows the gems, but not how or if they're linked. And a 6-link Soulwrest is quite expensive, and hard to find in the exact BBBGGR combo.
Found the answer - the gems added to the staff's sockets affect the staff phantasms, making the links unnecessary. For all other gear the links do matter.
I don't get it with the 3 links there are 3 of them how should I link them oO Hatred - Generosity, Flame Dash, Phase Run - Vaal Haste - Increased Duration, Raise Spectre - Blood Magic, Desecrate, or are some of them only battle preperation and I can switch it?
@@knives2021 Not entirely, I came here with the same question, his guide is an almost word for word script but neither video nor written does he explain the part where when he shows "3 link chest and boots" he actually shows off 3 sets of gems and only 2 items, so the same question exists, are we supposed to be swapping something out and if so, which set?
Been running this build and I want to add a couple of things. You can run a bone helm with fossil crafting of course. i86 non touched will be fairly cheap to get at around 30c. Elder shopping will bring you up to 4ex minimum for i76, but the base is typically worth it if you're already into this price range. A 2nd stygian gorilla will increase your frenzy uptime and stack counter from 1, 80% of the time with a 2nd frenzy as an occasional bonus, to a 3 stack 80% of the time and 2 stack, roughly 50% of the time. Aside from the buff to minions, this helps maintain Phase run over longer periods. It's another option if you want to run a temp chain/blasphemy as it will let you replace the Vaal Haste in the set up. QoL option: Spell cascade + Desecrate for easy reload on phantasms and full duration offerings. As EE said, this build can be run in any number of ways and you can explore them all quite easily. www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/SuicidalBaby/characters
How can the Summon Phantasm Support gem be supported by the other gems on the staff if they aren't linked? Do the 10 Phantasms summoned by the staff get buffed but the other 10 don't?
Looking to start playing this game soon. Love summoner/pet classes. Looks like you can bring an army vast enough to invade North Korea with. I am interested in summoners with other classes. The necromancer witch seems to be a given. You can be a templar or ranger summoner as well?
There are builds centered around necromancy, there are other forms of builds such as Templar it's usually a totem build. Remember however you can't go pure dps in PoE or you'll never make it to endgame, you'll need to focus on defenses as well and around act 6 you're going to need a decent amount of elemental resistance, otherwise there will be one shots,
from the build guideline, why use added fire damage in Soulwrest but not use added lightning damage support since EE said no gear with add Fire or Cold damage to attack? I am bit confuse over this. anyone can help. so far like this build ^^ just many times i get 1 shot by Syndicate Assassinator and just dropped haste and BR switch to CWDT+Immortal. Static Strike - Fortify - Curse on Hit - Projectile Weakness / Temporal Chains This manages our EE debuff, Fortify and Curse Application. Ensure that you have no gear with Added Fire or Cold damage to attacks on it so this only hits with Lightning damage! Projectile Weakness is the best multiplier for the Phantasm’s damage.
If you want to get the most out of the staff, get a staff with as high of an increased physical damage roll as you can afford, then go for cast speed next. The spell damage on it is mostly useless.
I didn't see it mentioned in either the video or the written guide, (unless I missed it) but which offering would be best for buffing the minions, flesh or spirit?
I would like to know how to light up I am new and I love this build. Any place where they have something specific or items low lvl for leveo of acts? PD: Sorry for my bad english ^^
The spectre you summon has a shit mana pool. Blood magic lets Carnage Chieftain cast the frenzy buff more often. Better uptime and it will get frenzy charges up to the cap frequently.
We are using EE with a lightning skill trigger. If you wanted you could use Phys to Lightning, but then would need to trigger EE with a Fire Source, such as the bubonic trail explosions.
@@EngineeringEternity after trying the new PoB feature, in my calculation, Hatred-Wrath-Generousity with Phys2Lightning is better in dps, but there is a new problem, that is we dont have any aura for our self. This build socketing is the one that hard for me. Hope you can reupdate this build next league because i really love this build.
After you hit once you gain a buff which makes you hit everyone around you with lighting automatically, giving you fortify buff (because it's somehow still counts as hit). EE applies too.

Welcome to the guide Exile!
I don't know if you're aware Engineering, but Elemental Equilibrium will also proc from the Death Walk effect, so if you're not careful with your desecrate and walking you'll often end up applying +25% fire res instead

For this reason I use phys to light instead of added fire and proc EE with Consecrated path. The added regen from Consecration is really nice.
This guide is very nice! Like.
Man, thank you for that!
I found that I almost never use the static strike curse fortify setup in boss fights, because its dangerous to go that close. Instead I 5-linked my chest (belly) and put cwdt (low)-immortal call (low)-inc dur.

which chest are you referring to?
went to delve lvl 1k++ with this build as a league starter. shaper and uber elder down btw. vaal skel will save your life in boss fights
Not one neco past 950....
In your written guide, under the leveling section, starting around level 18, you list a 6 link setup of Summon Raging Spirits - Melee Splash - Maim - Minion Damage - Melee Physical Damage - Minion Speed.
Is that what you recommend for leveling? Get a cheap 6 link staff or chest?

Also spell cascade is pretty important for bossing as you summon 10 instead of 5 for every offering cast
Got a POB by any chance? Keen to see your setup.
So sorry but i sold most of my gear- However the main difference is i was using a Belly for chest, my helm didnt have the minion stuff but it had 120 life and %life, i had the double socket Stygian vyse belt and both my rings and amulet had essence/fossil crafted minion movement speed for smoother mapping.

Cool no prob. I'm running this build now with 5 link skellies, 6L loreweave for zombies and as many flat phys jewels as possible. I also went MoM so I have a ton of EHP.

I'm just wondering because I'm just now putting together all my pieces and everything's coming together, but I'm finding that I'm really weak and unable to complete endgame content (cant even do red maps), will the zombies help that much? Skeletons seem like they aren't all that effective for bosses and I'm so squishy I get 1 shot even with as much defensive gear as I could muster. I'm thinking about selling all my gear and levelling up a new character, and was wondering if you did the same for the same reason.
Daaaaaamn holy build
This build is a shit ton of fun
Great build, exile.
I remade the build but this time investing in a devouring diadem and I went for aspect of the spider+zealotry also
Keep up the good work brother! I just love how detailed every videos that you create! I have a play time of maybe 50hours maybe? I am so new to the game and enjoyinh it to the max with my jugg of all trades. Will be planning to farm as much as i can with that build then follow your cyclone and molten zerker build.
Just want to ask. That build can you create a revamp build for that or is that build still good with the current patch?
I just finished a working version of necro with soulwrest in 3.10. I'm a total casual at the game though but i am plowing through maps and killed baran super quick. I run zombies, vaal skellies, two golems, spectres, animated guardian, several auras and have 20 phantasms up at all times, so it is just a *swarm* of minions. There are just too many directions to improve the build for me as a casual to explore but it is fun.
Video is ok I guess but I only have 1 chaos orb right now. Is there a budget version of this build anywhere??
Must be a 1 ALT orb build somewhere
Can't kill Uber Elder with gear from vendors, build is shit
@@evanwater3633 ssf btw
I cant with magic itms + jewel which gives more more dmg per weared magic itm :)
Lol you got to kiding me .. :D
I'd love to see an updated version with herald of purity and summon holy relic. Also a spell totem with desecrate and minion instability. Also some sort of heartbound loop + cwdt interaction
I'd go cold/lightning phantasms and use consecrated path for EE
Desecrate with spell cascade is pretty good to generate corpses quicker
I wonder if this will still work
i am currently playing this build following this guide as i thought it was a starter build. was surprised to see the staff is now 2.5ex. hopefully the price will go down soon
its only this high in price because engineering eternity is popular, therfore assholes want to make money and hike up the pr ice. Same reason when mathil makes a build with cospris, cospris go up in price by 100%
good catch:) 13:33/13:33
Great guide!
Here are my questions about some of the specifics:
1. With regards to the Carnage Chieftain spectre, do I need to run the entire process again (go to old fields and then to delve) each time I want to summon him?
2. With static strike, is this used consistently during clearing or is this used more for single target burning? Mainly, are you constantly spamming this attack?
3. With hatred and haste having both 50% mana reserve, how are you capable of running both simultaneously?
Thanks!
I'm playing Soulwrest with TV spectres for bosskilling, I was comfortably killing Shaper and his Guardians with only 3 spectres. I've now upgraded to a 4 spectre setup and plan to take it to Uber Elder. I'm a little burned out on the game right now but I plan to come back before the league ends.
Update edit: I've now killed Uber Elder but the ramp up in damage is too low to make it a good farmer. I can't kill the adds fast enough to stop the arena from getting covered in degen. This is as much a fault of my setup as it is my poor execution. The potential is definitely there but I'm benching the build (and the league) for now, I achieved my goal and the delve bosses are way too rare for me to bother.
Working the build now. But unsure about skeletons as extra dps vs something else? Your thoughts @Carl??
I've played melee skeletons before and they are very strong but I don't know if I could handle summoning both skeletons and phantasms at the same time on something like Uber Elder, which is why I'm using TV spectres.
If you're gonna use skeletons, I think it would probably be best to focus 100% on skeletons and just drop the staff altogether. Doing both seems like a massive hassle to me.
link build pls?

@@wolvie90 well u only, have to walk or use the flesh offering to summon phantasms which u would do normally anyways
dude. this build is fun as fuck. I am still working on the survival part, but the damage is just so insane!
this one is nice, really powerfull on a budget
Thanks!
Build idea for berserker Waiting room
Hi I have hard time to do any syndicate when they have more than 2 helper attack me at the same time. I am currently level 32
You don't want to stand in the area. You want to also use the flasks and you're defensive abilities for when they tp to you.
You don't need auras on bar after casting as well.
hi. i have done this build one more time on bestiary. i had all item on your build guide and skil tree but i always die by cyndicate members on maps. please help me where i do mistake? my build is powerless of cyndicate members is uber powerfull? (i have 2 souldwrest for farm and boss too)
Could someone explain to me how the static strike, fortify, curse on hit, projectile weakness 4 link works. Is this triggered by me getting hit by attacks? Is it triggered by my minions attacking? Is it triggered by me using my staff to melee hit something.
Sorry I am still pretty new to the game so some of the mechanics still elude me.
yes. you have to use static strike(the melee spell) to activate the curses/fortify.
Maybe it´s a wild idea, but I would love to see an explosive arrow chieftain/jugg build.
How Commander of darkness grant us +20% all res if we use generosity with hatred? POB shows that the buff isnt applying once you link it to generosity.
We also use Haste
oh ok, wasnt clear from the POB file, thought its only for vaal haste
what is the violet skill that reserves your mana in the video
Still viable for a build start? Someone know a build like that? It was amazing
And now we watch as the staff rises from a 1 alch unique to 10 chaos
Kevin King I just had one drop yesterday for me. Pretty excited about that lol.
managed to get mine 2 days ago for 1 c, pretty happy
its bloody 4ex now
I've seen it for 10c lately...
4 exs right now!!
Was just wondering if you would change ANYTHING on here with 3.7? maybe throw impale on vaal skeletons?
And this build is even better with 3.6 with convocation cd reduced and the buff summon phantasm gem got.
Great guide, thank you. Will it be still a good choice for the upcoming 3.5 patch?
I just played a pure physical version of this build to 94 using zombies and skellies in my chest (so both are on a 5l) and the frenzy and power charge apes to buff the phantasms and single target minions. Together with permanent phase run the character was very zippy and thus fun. I have yet to kill shaper with it but judging by what I’ve seen so far and what limited help pob offers i expect something around 5 million shaper dps...
This is a very fun build, give it ago if you get a chance.
Hi, how craft this mod in helmet?
Why not use the queen's hunger body armor?
Can someone explain how the Soulwrest is NOT 6-linked? In the Google doc, all the Soulwrest gems only work if they're linked, yet several times EE says you only need 6 sockets, no links.
It really doesn't help when I go to the PoE account page and the character's gear has been completely pillaged, and the video itself doesn't show the gems.
Pastebin/PoB shows the gems, but not how or if they're linked. And a 6-link Soulwrest is quite expensive, and hard to find in the exact BBBGGR combo.
Found the answer - the gems added to the staff's sockets affect the staff phantasms, making the links unnecessary. For all other gear the links do matter.
Why spectre is linked with blood magic?
MORE SUMMONER BUILDS PLEASE
on another note, can you please make a herald of agony block gladiator? :)
Actually, I was planning to make that style of build next!
@@EngineeringEternity great! Looking forward to it being my first gladiator build. Love your builds and videos
I don't get it with the 3 links there are 3 of them how should I link them oO Hatred - Generosity, Flame Dash, Phase Run - Vaal Haste - Increased Duration, Raise Spectre - Blood Magic, Desecrate, or are some of them only battle preperation and I can switch it?
If you follow the guide he goes into detail about the links and gear
@@knives2021 Not entirely, I came here with the same question, his guide is an almost word for word script but neither video nor written does he explain the part where when he shows "3 link chest and boots" he actually shows off 3 sets of gems and only 2 items, so the same question exists, are we supposed to be swapping something out and if so, which set?
Been running this build and I want to add a couple of things.
You can run a bone helm with fossil crafting of course. i86 non touched will be fairly cheap to get at around 30c. Elder shopping will bring you up to 4ex minimum for i76, but the base is typically worth it if you're already into this price range.
A 2nd stygian gorilla will increase your frenzy uptime and stack counter from 1, 80% of the time with a 2nd frenzy as an occasional bonus, to a 3 stack 80% of the time and 2 stack, roughly 50% of the time. Aside from the buff to minions, this helps maintain Phase run over longer periods. It's another option if you want to run a temp chain/blasphemy as it will let you replace the Vaal Haste in the set up.
QoL option: Spell cascade + Desecrate for easy reload on phantasms and full duration offerings.
As EE said, this build can be run in any number of ways and you can explore them all quite easily.

Build is fun. Had to get used to Offering interactions, but once you do it runs smoothly.
Pretty expensive though. Definitely not for the first run
How do you use Haste (50%mana reserved) and Hatred (50% mana reserved) at the same time?
im always missing something with these builds
I was wondering the same thing. There are nodes on the passive tree that helps with it.
How can the Summon Phantasm Support gem be supported by the other gems on the staff if they aren't linked? Do the 10 Phantasms summoned by the staff get buffed but the other 10 don't?
Exactly. Only the 10 phantasms are getting buffed.
Can i use a lightpoacher?
Looking to start playing this game soon. Love summoner/pet classes. Looks like you can bring an army vast enough to invade North Korea with. I am interested in summoners with other classes. The necromancer witch seems to be a given. You can be a templar or ranger summoner as well?
There are builds centered around necromancy, there are other forms of builds such as Templar it's usually a totem build. Remember however you can't go pure dps in PoE or you'll never make it to endgame, you'll need to focus on defenses as well and around act 6 you're going to need a decent amount of elemental resistance, otherwise there will be one shots,
For some reason passiveskill tree link isint loading anyone else having this problem?
Opened it on internet explorer that worked. Could someone say where i can find the final skill tree?
does anyone know what cosmetics is he using?
from the build guideline, why use added fire damage in Soulwrest but not use added lightning damage support since EE said no gear with add Fire or Cold damage to attack? I am bit confuse over this. anyone can help. so far like this build ^^ just many times i get 1 shot by Syndicate Assassinator and just dropped haste and BR switch to CWDT+Immortal.
Static Strike - Fortify - Curse on Hit - Projectile Weakness / Temporal Chains
This manages our EE debuff, Fortify and Curse Application. Ensure that you have no gear with Added
Fire or Cold damage to attacks on it so this only hits with Lightning damage! Projectile Weakness is the
best multiplier for the Phantasm’s damage.
why not smite instead of static strike?
How does Queen’s hunger fit this build? It looks so cool on paper...
Questions: do soulwrest projectiles apply virulence? Could youuuu... unearth + offering spam to keep enough virulence for Herald of Agony?
i want to see a LLRF character with all the new items and changes isn't there a god tier build that can do all the content ??
Well gotta roll a witch now thx m8 :D
It seems the price of the staff has come down quite a bit, with the cheapest ones going around 30c now, which is not that bad of a price.
Why blood magic for the spectre????
The spectre drains his mana for the frenzy otherwise. Blood Magic allows his to spam his skill.
If you want to get the most out of the staff, get a staff with as high of an increased physical damage roll as you can afford, then go for cast speed next. The spell damage on it is mostly useless.
Yes, I forgot to mention this!
I didn't see it mentioned in either the video or the written guide, (unless I missed it) but which offering would be best for buffing the minions, flesh or spirit?
Red one for attack speed blue one for eg and white one gives block chance
Please update this for 3.9!?
Ok, so you socket summon phnatasm, put t hose phantasms are a lot weaker bcs your support gems are not linked to it?
I would like to know how to light up I am new and I love this build. Any place where they have something specific or items low lvl for leveo of acts?
PD: Sorry for my bad english ^^
Can anyone tell me the best enchants for this build?
no death attunement and grave intentions?
where you getting 6 socket soulwrest for 1c ? i got my 1c and im not seeing one yet.
the gloves cost 25c thats not exactly cheap
That what i am going next league
is there another reason to use blood magic for spectre?? other than not enough mana??
The spectre you summon has a shit mana pool. Blood magic lets Carnage Chieftain cast the frenzy buff more often. Better uptime and it will get frenzy charges up to the cap frequently.
What is the difference between using Added Fire Damage and Phys to Lightning in the soulwrest? Why in this build it choose Fire instead of Lightning?
We are using EE with a lightning skill trigger. If you wanted you could use Phys to Lightning, but then would need to trigger EE with a Fire Source, such as the bubonic trail explosions.
@@EngineeringEternity is bot of them equally superior dps wise? Or the lightning have better dps with wrath plus hatred?
I would try messing around with it in Path of Building as they have now incorporated Phantasms into that!
@@EngineeringEternity after trying the new PoB feature, in my calculation, Hatred-Wrath-Generousity with Phys2Lightning is better in dps, but there is a new problem, that is we dont have any aura for our self. This build socketing is the one that hard for me. Hope you can reupdate this build next league because i really love this build.
@@christopherw1248 lvl 1 clarity solves for you if you have the mana its a typical thing i see for minion builds
Please let us know when 3.6 will be ready :)
why dun u use pierce for clearing setup and consecrated path rather than static for the regen ground and faster movement
The phantasms cast a piercing projectile spell, so you don't need pierce.
because phase run things.
How do you use static strike (and Elemental Equilibrium) by just running through mobs? Don't you have to actually hit them?
After you hit once you gain a buff which makes you hit everyone around you with lighting automatically, giving you fortify buff (because it's somehow still counts as hit). EE applies too.
