Hello everyone, a newbie player over here! First of all thank you very much for the build WaffleT. It's the first time that in my 6-7 seasons that I manage to get some decent currencies and I'm playing my second char with your build. Looks and feel amazing! Most of the content is being easy as f*ck! :)

Btw I still having some problems/doubts that can answer by myself after reading the guide, watching the video and reading some comments. If someone can answer me or gimme a little help about where to read or what to do, I'll be so grateful :D!

PS: I know I'm low lvl atm and i need to complete some labs, those things will probably fix some of my problems, but my gf has been working on my PC all day long and cant play builds with so many minions on my laptop :')

In case this is usefull, i've been doing T9-T13 Maps.These are my problems/doubts:

- Obviously, as mostly everyone asked before me: I can't run all the auras. I already have Charisma, Life/Mana quality at Presence of Chayula and the mana reservetion nodes from Leadership, Sovereignty and Influence. I'm also using precision at lvl 10. (FYI switched from clarity to Empower 4). I'm thinking that the problem could be, maybe, some lvl at my gems, but not sure.

- I already switched Clarity for Empower but reading the guide and looking at some Summon Carrion Golems builds at poeninja i've seen so many people using Empower + Convocation. I'd like to give it a try but I have 0 idea about where should I socket it, at which lvl and if it's really a good idea to switch Convocation for any other skill.

- Alternative Quality Gems: What "Alternate Quality 1" and "Alternate Quality 2" means? Sorry about that n00bie question but I'm kinda lost here. Btw, they are so expensive that I can't afford them at max lvl, so... Is worth it to aim for low lvl alternative quality gems and lvl them while mapping or is better to just buy 21/20 normal gems? If so, which alternative gems would you priotize and why?

- Animated Guardian seems to be a really funny/hated skill and was thinking about giving a try once i finish all my labs. Is worth it to play it even with budget gear? Or maybe should I just ignore Alternative quality gems and aim for some decent gear (in which order? :D) for the Animated Guardian (in case it's a notable burst of damage/survavility)?

- I had some problems with Spectres and Zombies, they were kinda dying a lot. I prefer to ask, but probably the main problems were: Fisrt, lem lvl were around 17-18. I already upgraded to lvl 21. Secondly, the ascendancy points, which I should get as soon as i can use my pc again.

- How do you manage to summon Spectres without a Life Flask? I'm supposing it's because Bone Barrior ascendancy, but... isn't our life regen transformed to ES regen?

Hope someone can gimme some answers o places to read! :)

Your aura problem could have to do with the Empower or some other support gem which will put a mana multiplier on one of the auras. Vivinsect could also be a problem with its 10% on the socketed aura. To summon the spectres you simply need to take out the Blood Magic support and then put it back in once they're up.

With AG I'd say you either just buy a 5-10c setup and expect him to die every now and then, or you go all out on Kingmaker, Garb, Mask of The Stiched Demon, Curse on Hit gloves, maybe even enchant the speed aura boots, then you pick up Grave Intentions, boost his level to 25ish and give him Minion Life/Meat Shield Support (or even both). Avoid Acid Caverns and Atziri, be careful on Sirus and other scary content, alternatively you can unsummon him. You also don't want to leave him out of your aura range/line of sight since that will make him very susceptible to damage, convocation is a must have skill imo (and not just for your AG).

Builds going well, no surprise though b/c playing this game I always see the same people in the thread of whatever OP/low button build im looking at.

Anyways just linking the setup that is working well for me and is really, REALLY easy to play, 1 button wonder. Its setup alot like the OG king of summoner zombie variant from several leagues back with a stampede cyclone and a mervil's retainer to do your curse.

Yeah I took a look at your tree. Changed some nodes, got death attunement back. I'm up to 8.9k es and was able to hit lvl 97, so thanks for your tips they helped a lot. Sucks to not have ravenous horde anymore but grave intentions looks nice. I'll also try out they of tul

Grave Intentions is for the most part a waste unless you're running the Animate Guardian with Mask of the Stitched Demon to give him insane regen. The Unholy Might from it won't work if you're running Brutality, so it'd only be a little bit of survivability for your minions. It is possible to still get Ravenous Horde with a Thread of Hope (or whatever it's called) jewel.

Do you have a PoB for this variant?

https://pastebin.com/DcsJ1MPh

There you go.

If you compare the dmg numbers with the min-maxed life based version that uses elemental conversion you see that our dmg output is actually higher, even without the 5th spectre AND our damage is not reliant on proccing Elemental Equilibrium and Frostbomb.

Our dps is always available from the get go. Plus the added benefit of being immortal due to aura stacking

okay, i just want to say that I was interested, but WOW almost half the dps comes from getting not 1, not 2, not even 4, but FIVE "slum lord" notables from an Elegant Hubris timeless jewel. So your'e looking for a SINGLE specific jewel number... Impossible to get basically.

I already pointed out in a previous post that the Elegant Hubris I was using is not at all needed do do really respectable damage with this variant of the build. I was comparing it to the min-maxed life based version of Syndicate Operatives that was also using a 5-way jewel and pointed out that we can acheive even more dps.

If you get a 3 or 4 way Elegant Hubris and spend the points you have to waste to get to the slum lord notables elsewhere you can for sure get to 80% damage of a 5-way one.
