Hey I was wondering if it was possible to keep the skill tree from the EB & MoM version while just using Pledge of Hands, would the dps suffer at all if i did this?
I just want to make use of cluster jewels in a build but Pledge of Hands seems interesting for slave driver specters.

put spell cascade support in your inventory and move your mouse on top of it. Desecrate has a green check.

Ah you are correct. Although mine was showing X because it was in a shaper wand with lvl16 spell cascade. Would that be viable alternative to using the gem? This way I can keep the skeletons.

if you already have spell cascade on your wand it's ok. 16lvl is okay.

In your opinion what RS build is tankiest? Full Life or EB/MOM using DD?

Hi Kay,

May I suggest for your RS EB/MOM build that you use a large cluster with Vicious Bite, Renewal, and Rotten Claws. Rotten Claws goes to the top of the cluster and can be ignored. Therefore you save to skill points while also getting Vicious Bite.

I've followed your build for several leagues but this league decided to make a Guardian version. I am using two large clusters as described above. Here is my POB that will show the large clusters: https://pastebin.com/bAjXneMX

The problem is that particular cluster jewel is going about 4-6ex or more last time I checked. When you add in Megalomaniac, that's a big chunk of mirror tier shards that's hard to farm for 90% of the players.

I'm not saying that you're wrong in any way because I have a similar cluster jewel, and I can confirm that having rotten claw jewel = saves you 2 points at the expense of extra exalts.

But, I do recommend people to get into cluster jewels once they are done with the +1 spectre chest, boots, necklace and wand.

I totally agree with you, I think we are on the same page. I guess what I am more looking at is, when you are ready to min/max the build there are more options. For example an amulet with +1 to intelligence gems and +1 to cold skill gems.

Going out for a while, sirus a8 impossible... kill my AG +6 kingmaker + Elemental Army. Maybe i will try a5 ou a6 but next monty heheh

Sirus doesn't get more damage as he goes up in awakening levels, he just gets more HP. If your AG is dying to him its probably wandering into storms or fire - giving it a meat shield support setup without Feeding Frenzy should allow him to stay glued to your side. When he doesn't wander you tend to die MUCH faster than he does which saves your equipment from being wasted.

To add to this, I cheaped out on my AG with just a Gruthkul's and had a Feeding Frenzy w/o Meat Shield at all times through multiple Sirus fights (some of which I personally ripped) and he was untouched throughout all of them.

His base MS is so slow and you should be spamming convocation so your other minions don't wander off anyway, so there's no real reason for him to stay a protracted amount of time in the storm.

The biggest mistake is not using a 21 AG and having extra levels somewhere, like your wand or amulet. A level 24 AG with Minion Life had ~60k hp with my tree, and he seemed more or less invulnerable to uber, A8 Sirus, Shaper, ~400 Delve, etc.

Hello and thank you for the guide.
I'm having A LOT of fun with the redemption sentry.
Just 1 quick question : have some currency to blow up and was wondering if instead of a wep with 65% minion dmg, 5% chance to double dmg and some other small stats, i should go for something with 60ish or even 70 % minion dmg AND +1 minion gems ?
Is the pricing (15-25 ex) worth it ? Should i spend a bit more and get 65% minion dmg , +1 minion skills and minions have 16% attack and cast speed ?

Thank you !

After failing to keep my AG up , i can come up with some decent advice : first of all , for sirus, get kingmaker (40ish chaos), KAOM heart for 10c, victario's boots, leercast and southbound gloves to really boost his stats.
Also equally important, you NEED to respec 3 points from somewhere (even your hp, as most of the dmg will nearly 1 shot you anyway) and take the node with Indomitable army, which causes your minions to not take dmg when they bleed.


Thats what killed my AG 2 times, and then i killed sirus EZ PZ lemon squeezy.
Hope this helps

For average damage 65% and 5% DD is the same as 65% and +1 level because +1 level is 4.5% more DPS. So you are paying 25ex for 16% attack and cast speed.

I think a better way to spend currency is full crit build with 6x vicious bite. It's not my build, but the basic idea is 2x cluster jewel groups.
Each group uses 1x large with vicious bite + 2x megalomanic with vicious bite.

Check the prices for the items before you decide.

The OP for crit build uses necro aegis, so the spectres get charges on their own. But it will reduce your survivability a lot!
