I need to consider how to make it work, as for spectres I was thinking Arena Master and Pale Seraphim. Just watch Ghazzy's videos as he is one of the masters of minions. AG might be incredibly squishy when fighting Shaper, UberElder, UberAtziri any of the 4 new bosses or Maven and all her invites (especially the Breachlord invitation) as all of them have huge AoE and Damage (Shaper not so much) Originally posted by SirJellyBean:It is possible but without 2xMinion life medium clusters and without the +2 Necro ascendancy node amd other minion survivability.

(or Arakaali's Fang Spider Occultist build) I have never played minions on other classes besides Necromancer. 1 shared 4-link with Minion life + meat shield + AG + Spectres, meat shield will provide you with defensive minions and you will be benefiting from the "Nearby Allies" items your AG has. You will have to use desecrate to lock the (spectres) corpse into Desecrate so you can resummon them when they die.

It can get incredibly expensive.įor the Spectres you might want to check out Carnage Chieftans for frenzy charges and other good spectres. If he does you have to buy all of the gear again or craft it all over. Kingmaker or a cheaper alternative being Dying Breath (damage increase) Making him fairly resistant and healthy.Īmbu's Charge (if you can try getting a body armour with %Life and or flat Life) You can use these for a budget version of AG.

You only want the free culling strike and or damage increases? Assuming you have fortify then Kingmaker might not be the best choice but having free culling strike is so convenient + some crit. It is possible but without 2xMinion life medium clusters and without the +2 Necro ascendancy node amd other minion survivability. If you want to use minions and keep them sustained, you're going to need to invest in minion life and defenses, or you're going to need to leverage some other mechanic to keep them healthy. Life alone would not be enough.) to give the minion durability. So do I have minion life nodes, no, but I'm leveraging other mechanics (consecrated ground for life AND ES regen. If I was using a different skill, like Divine Ire, that wasn't dropping the consecrated ground for it, the minion would not survive. The inquisitor consecrated ground gives it great health and ES regen, which is what allows it to survive the onslaught of enemies while I blast away around it with Purifying Fire. I have an Inquisitor with a Chaos Golem (with minion life and meat shield support) that acts as a decoy. The one build I've managed to sustain a minion with, without delving into a bunch of defensive nodes, is the one I'm playing right now. Even builds that use golems, if they are not minion builds with some defensive traits, will find the golems getting taken out quite regularly. It's very difficult to get minions, even specters, to really last without having some investment.
