Just finished going through the acts+3rd lab. Junk gear and gems.
Took a while due to some serious technical issues(disconnects and lags)
Did not follow the leveling guide but if acts is an indicator then necro is still OP. Probably the strongest league starter I had yet, made leveling trivial.
I started using sekllie as soon as possible and dumped SRS. Skellies are v strong
1st ascendancy = mistress of sacrifice and setup the cyclone desecrate spirit offering ASAP. That made a huge difference in QOL, damage and survivability.
Keeping the +2 minion gem as 4th ascendancy as prefer bone barrier defenses and minion damage and survivability is very strong so far.
2 death to some junk mobs and a metamorph boss
That's a really cool ascendency progression idea. Nice one snow! And glad to see you back here :)
For those who can't access/use POB you can use a browser based app called POE Buddy - https://poe.technology/poebuddy/
This is a browser based utility. Nothing to install. It will therefore work on a Mac, a mobile phone or a PC or other device where you can't use POB for whatever reason
Just paste the PoB link provided on the first page and you should be good to go.
It does have a few minor limitations but overall if a pretty decent work around
I have to say I didnt have a single problem leveling. I went straight for the Sacrifice node and my zombies never lost hp after that. Used Vaal Skellies with Infernal Legion and I believe Minion Damage as soon as I could and they just ran through everything all the way to maps. Every boss died within seconds and Kitava was instantly phased.
Only at t4/t5 maps but those are a breeze with Zombies in a 4L. I went with Mon'tregul's and Victario's for now because they were cheap and were a huge dps increase for my Zombies.
My tree is just slightly different but the core is the same and will more then likely change it around for endgame. This build is just fine as far as I can tell so far. I had 3 grey items when I hit 60...zero issues!
Great to hear!
Thanks for sharing. I've done a few T16s and they have been cakewalk. Got one corner of my atlas fully upgraded so far.
Let me ask again. Is there a reason not to use Commander of Darkness instead of Mistress of Sacrifice to get more DPS?
Clotho
If you're not going the Cyclone + Spirit Offering route then Commander of Darkness is perfectly fine.
Spirit Offering is great though as you get 30% MORE damage added as chaos, as opposed to increased damage from Commander of Darkness.
but why not use both the bonus damage from spirit offering AND the bonus damage from commander of Darkness ?
Or is it just to get the shield bonus on our witch ?
That's a very good idea. The mistress of sacrifice is purely to get defence. But if you're feeling like your damage is the issue and not your defence, then YES, commander of darkness will work well.

Hey Brunowa - would it be possible for you to share the steps you went through in Standard to upgrade your Atlas. Did you do a rare corrupted T16 first, then a T15 to get all your past map credits back ?
There is a lot of confusion out there about exactly how to do so. Lots of grumblings about people having to run 100's of white maps, which certainly does not appeal and lots of people sharing suggestions on what they did, but nothing seems to be common.
Are your T16's runs the new Atlas versions or still running the old ones (Phoenix, Hydra, Minotaur and Chimera) till GGG re-enable map conversions ?

I converted all of maps and kept 1 old T15.
Ran the old T15 so I now have 134/154 completed like I previously did.
Run corner maps to to find the dude to chase and so that section is coloured. Run each map in that section until you find dude again. Get boss kill from Zana and watchers stone.
And it's basically a repeat of that process.
It's quite painful because the map conversion didn't convert into all available maps, so there are a shitload of maps I don't actually have and so have to farm them like normal just to run it and see if the person I'm chasing is in that map. So it's slow going.
am looking for the next upgrade, and apperntly it is the weapon? any suggestion pls?
Congrats you're progressing really nicely! You should be able to cruise through all content pretty much with what you have now.
I would get an Empower socketed into your zombies as a next step.
Also upgrade rings etc to ensure you are at 1000+ strength and also resis capped.
You're well on your way to destroying the game. Nice one man!
thank you for the Feedback, yes am doing red maps with nor probelm, Animated Guardian is also geared. am over1200 Str, am looking for better waopon, can you suggest any Upgrade for Weapon? i should be abel to buy Shaper Touch tonight
