Have to say my fps has been perfectly fine with a 4 year old computer....

Thanks deadandlivin for all you help!

If you got money to spare you could try doing with I'm testing right now.
I'm running x1 Inspired Learning in the socket next to the minion wheel on the left side of the tree.

Since most rare monsters only have 1-2 modifiers It's basically as powerful as a Headhunter. Alot of people are saying that the problem with HH now is that the Archnemesis modifiers suck offensively. As summoners, we don't really care about the offensive buffs from HH apart from auras. What we do like is all the defensive buffs it provided.

Thing is, rare monsters still have auras and in addition to it, their buffs are much better defensively which we like. So HH and Inspired learning were probably a buff for minions ironically.

I'm currently trying it out and it feels great.
It's only 1.5 ex, a socket and 5 skillpoints.

Thanks for the so detailed guide. I have a question about how to improve the defense in this league. How do you survive while farming red maps before you purchase Ashes of the Stars and mageblood?

I am currently in red maps with about 6 million total DPS (in pob) and already feeling the dps is insufficient, especially when combating the imprisoned essence rare monster (with sentinel empowered).
My golems can die in a few seconds (as well as zombies and skeletons) and I have nowhere to hide after that. In all versions of this build, we give the shield to minions but not the player, so I have no block chance. And it is too expensive to invest the evasion for me now. This build also has relative low life regen to counter the DOTs like burning ground. That means I am literally a 4500hp,75 all res punching sandbag to the mobs. In the previous league this is okay, but now the empowered monster is godlike... Any aoe or projectiles from two screens away can simply delete me. So I use the CWDT+ molten shell but it doesn't help too much.

Maybe I should farm yellow maps until I have the AG setup in the hungry loop?

I didn't :D
I had very bad gear, think my character cost ~3 ex in total and I just threw my body into double Altars, Blights and Essences until I could afford the Mageblood. Dps was kinda low too but manageable. It's better now when I've got my defenses but double altar farming is just too rippy. Watched streamers like Grimro lose 6 portals to double altars with their 3 mirror builds. That's when I decided not to upgrade anything until I had Mageblood cause the price of it is rising all the time.

That's about what I had. It was enough but yeah, tanky targets felt pretty slow. Bosses and Essences in particular took dozens of seconds on average.

This is how my gameplay looked:

My tips are, ONLY use the red stalker sentinel and NEVER deploy it with Essences or near the map boss. Pop it at the start of your map and try to tag as many white mobs as possible. If there's an essence nearby, ignore it and keep depleting the Sentinel. ONce your sentinel is empty, deal with the essences and looting.

Use Abarreths pantheon to deal with the burning ground. Try to buy corrupted jewels on trade to get immunities. To deal with dots, I got Poison immunity from corrupted primordial jewels. I had bleed and corrupted blood remove on my life flask. The Aberrath pantheon reduces duration of ignitesby 60% which makes it less of an issue.

Don't use CWDT molten shell, it's bad. Numlock it.

Considering you're level 87 and it seems like you're dying alot it'sprobablysmart not toplay T16 maps. I wouldn't go down to yellows, but doing T12-T14 should be okay. Just keep making upgrades and it will start to feel better over time. Keep in mind that your gear right now is very poor.

A very cheap and big upgrade you should do is buy 21/0 gems. They literally cost like 5 chaos each and will be a huge upgrade for your minions survivability and dps.

i dont know how to link the pob but when sould we switch from frost scout to monkey setup?

Are you playing the tank version?

When you got a cheap minion helm, Triad Grips and a Trigger wand.
That's when you want to swap spectres.

yep the tank one and already got all of this was wondering if i was waiting for my AG full before the swap

You can chill on the AG and just swap. But you'll want to make the same changes that I did.

So what I did was run Zombies alone in helm and Spectres in boots.
Links were:

The reason why I had to change up the links was because I had no AG.
So I needed something to debuff with Feeding Frenzy and Elemental Army.
Also, I didn't hav eneough mana to run Hatred, Determination and Skitterbots with Bonechill. So I put all support dps boosters on the Spectres until my Hungry Loop was ready and I could run my AG.

Just swapped to the low budget version of this build, Can you take a look at my build and tell me if you see anything blatantly wrong? Im not feeling too strong right now.

I'm also seeing a lot of different versions, with different links in different equipment slots, so I dont have the most confidence in what I have equipped.

EDIT: don't have AG full equipped yet, leveling up gems so I can slot in hungry loop. Some gems not full leveled either, could be that.

Patch, improved fps a lot and they fixed some issues so game is more fluid now.
Just did sirus, and it was much better now.
orb and belt dropped.

as a energy deficient M.E illness the amount of delay and such is not a good thing and why I usually play, one button or such builds.

anyhow, changed to elementalist as I put the cluster jewels in.
Going well now

edit: did Maven also today, not optimal there fps wise but managed it.
edit2: uber elder down to

You really want to get the AG up and running. It's a massive powerspike.
If you aren't already, make sure to level all gems at the same time.

For his gear, make sure to start of with:
- Gravebind
- Legacy of Fury
- Kingmaker
- -9% cold res helm
- Inpulsa

Also, make sure to get brittle on boots. It's very important.

I like your idea of running Replica Hyrri's Watch. It saves 2 skill points and gives you alot of mana reservation which is cool while giving alot of dex.
It's less dps without generosity but really an interesting option that I'venever thought of.

Some things you should look into is updating your flasks. I suggests getting this combo of flasks with the instilling orb. It feels really good:

For th efourth flask, I suggest a Silver Flask with increased duration and either curse or ignite avoidance. You REALLY want an Armour flask with % increased armour(Can be on any of the other flasks if it's cheaper)
Most of your flasks have decreased duration mods on them too. You should really fix this. The goal is to have 100% flask uptime.
To handle dots my suggestion is to fix Bleed and Corrupted blood with life flask, Poison with Jewel corruption and Eldritch boot implicits and Ignite with 1 flask mod and Pantheon.

You also should consider upgrading and running Brine King and Abarreth Panethons to give freeze immunity and help with ignite + Burning Ground immunity.

As for strength, what do you feel you're missing? Dps or tankiness?

You shouldn't be running BV right now since you don't have the debuffs to apply with it currently. You want EE on your Skins and/or a curse for it to work. Generosity is also not doing anything since Hatred isn't linked to it.
So I suggest making some gem changes to things that could benefit you.

Some suggestions I propose is:
- Socket Lifetap and Determination into your wand, keep offering.
- CHange small cluster from mana reservation to Armour with Enduring Composure(Put 1 point into max endurance charges in the left side of the tree under the socket).
- Run Hydrosphere in boots instead of Determination.
- Get a new Skin of the Lords with 3red-3blue, socket Awakened Melee Splash into all your minions (Swap out Hypothermia and Melee phys)
- Get 21 Zombies.

Goodluck, hope this helps :)
