wondering how does yours not die? I am mid geared and already poofed 2x Mager Slayer as the golem died. Does he also benefit from Redemption (Phoenix?) or just + skills while summoning and use prebuff/golem gear to do so?
I dig this as the end game meta for summons. I'm so far behind on gear this season though. Luckily I didn't build pride yet, so I guess I can pivot into phoenix next then innocence.
When you do that respec to get the point out of blood warp you may want to consider maxing amp before your skeleton warriors. They get very little hp per hard point and they are a super small % of your total damage. I’m certain it would be a dps increase, but it’s not like you need it. Also, at some point in PD2, 1 point in curse mastery would give you the passive radius bonus for your curse (0.6 for amplify), so that’s probably worth sacrificing an additional point in warrior (although I can’t find any information if this is still a thing). I also think your damage would rise using Nosferatu instead of Razortail. With such outrageously high damage as you have, I’m quite certain 10% deadly strike would be a damage boost over the 20 max, even though your deadly is already pretty high. Anyways these are insignificant, dinky things. Awesome character. I really like the use of bone armor and a smaller HP pool to smooth out sustain - blood warp is taking big chunks out of my 2k hp. Cheers man.
Yeah I considered that, especially for the bigger radius on amp. Wasn't sure if the reduced warrior and archer (from synergy) damage was worth. I did the respec and swapped gheeds for another skiller so I got an extra 2pts into amp and extra radius at 15 hard points. I think the dex and max dmg from razortail beats 10ds, also razortail caps pierce if the g skull has below 34 pierce. I have heard 1pt curse mastery was a thing but I assumed it was people confusing hard points and soft points. Unless it's bugged because 1pt should not do anything. Maybe I need to test it myself because I could not find a definitive answer on it. Good discussion mate appreciate it!
@@enpherno I ran the numbers for “fun”, using a guesstimated amount (200 of your max) that the 20 damage from Razortail offers. Razortail Normal hit 7629 51% of the time it does 11443 49 normal hits = 389079 51 deadly hits = 583593 972672 total Nosferatu Normal hit 7429 61% of the time it does 11143 39 normal hits = 289731 61 deadly hits = 679723 969454 total Again the 200 damage is just my best guess - If it adds more than 200 damage Razor becomes even better, especially with the additional 4% pierce - and vastly moreso for players who don’t have a giant skull (like me). If it doesn’t add that much, I’d probably advantage Nosferatu for damage and deadly consistency - as well as a life leech source if you have none. Super super marginal difference in any case, I thought it would be more decisive than this. MATH!
I have this build running. But my dmg is crap compared to what I had before all the rune word gear. I got beast, might, phx, innoc, 4 soc dem with 35+ ed jewels. My dmg is 1/2 of what it was before all the gear. Any suggestions that makes the build take off? Zupord is my pd2 char name
If most of the kills come from the merc with innocence, then why not run golems instead so more mobs hit the merc to trigger more procs of multishot? I don't see the point in any of the gear on the character for this "merc" build
You think this build could kill dclone or rathma? I'd definitely power down the iron golem for those fights but i'm curious if you could keep the merc alive
Great built and gear,you make the best characters,me I can’t even play when I try to login it say’s something like I have a 16 digits legacy,I don’t get it.
Cool build, but more life is always better even with blood warp. Blood warp takes 12% of _remaining_ health. Meaning you will always be above the health you would have if you had a smaller health pool, regardless of how the redemption aura works.
@@enpherno true. I’m wondering why you don’t put any IAS on the merc? When i run through an IAS calc with fana aura and stuff, it says 40ias is needed to hit max breakpoint. Might be wrong, but I was just curious.
@@enpherno oh really, must have messed something up. Where did you find this out? Im working on this build too, seems really fun. Oh and also, is there a cap for pierce on merc?
@@marcusnewman8639 just bring up the advanced stat page with the merc screen open and it tells you. very convenient. mercs can hit 100 pierce and have 66 pierce naturally, so you only need 34

One of the sickest builds i have every seen! Congrats!
Thanks mate
Beautiful! Just got knowledge of PD2 recently. Very hyped to grind soon. Gl take care. You gave us a very solid goal post.
This is the real definition of GG!!! A beauty of a char!!!
Thank you mate
Insane build dude! Looks like a blast!
Cheers man

Too bad you don't have more gameplay on RUclips!
Gg build brother, working towards this little by little!
Best of luck man, gg
I thought the season had just started😮
GG, trying to build the same necro, missing a few components :-)
This build pumps! Nice min/maxing.
Cheers mate
I remember that dude Varyk did loads of videos in previous seasons on the green goblin build. Who invented it?
Not sure but it is a super fun build
i saw some talks abount a GG build but focusing on act 4 merc (dark ), any idea i you could perfect such build ?
Check varyk's silver surfer pally on RUclips

Ive never found a 7mf/5allres sc in my life. What do those go for
3hr~
able to give a TLDR on the reason for demon machine? do the imps matter?
Mainly for the multistrike proc, it has been nerfed a lot in s10 though
Gg this is one cool and fun looking build!
Great build, all best slams! Are you possibly able to solo Dungeons with this, maybe with less telestomping?
Possibly but no incentive to do so really

a 2os gskull with 2x ed/max jewels. some bolts with 60+ed and 25+deadly. that won't break the bank and will provide a nice damage increase

Nah no chance sadly, merc and summons will get killed fast. Same with uber ancients
This build is a ton of fun :)
Super fun
GG necro. Pd2 is insanely good.
The devs do a great job indeed
Why make beast in Eth base? Is it cuz there's a merc in pd2 that can use a 1 hander?
Lower str req
ettin axe is good for Act 5 merc, so making in an eth one helps the resale value
eth items have lower str req and their min-max damage range is way higher.
since you’re not hitting anything with your weapon. it doesn’t break. correct?
This guy, the REAL skeleton king ;)
Bro is flashing the entire auras tree and isn’t even a pally 😂 nice build man. Love the vids.
New to pd2, how do you pull the stat tab in game? Thanks
Advanced stats page default hotkey is 8 i believe, you can change it in the in game settings
@@enpherno ty good sir!
Why is the redemption aura so important with the shield?
Sustain. Keeps him topped off every pack
Do you ever equip the skelly wand? Is there a reason to?
Yeah equip before I leave game, snapshots the summons level when you enter the next game
very nice dude, goin crazy as usual
Always brother, appreciate you
is demon machine with ignore target defense worth pbox ?

How does enchanched damage effect summoning build?
ED does not work for summons, + skills boosts their damage
@@enpherno Okay so the high ED roll on shield is not doing anything in particular for the build?
@@denniskloster9013 That's correct. He's just using the shield for the redemption aura to sustain his health while telestomping with blood warp.
@@denniskloster9013 correct that does nothing
ohhh the Currency
I dont understand, why you dont use Faith on Merc for higher Fana? Is there a reason?
the entire build is based around demon machine and getting the multi procs, the merc does like 80% of my total damage
@@enphernoso you spent all that resource on your own character to do 20% of kills? Also how is merc so strong compared to you?
why do you have so much energy ? does it do anything else but give you stam ?

Thats insane. Tryed to count how much HRs this build is worth. Should be more then 200 without the Merc😮
Yeah about 300 all up. I have about 100 leftover. No handouts either. Been an insane season for me. Luckiest one yet
