[3.21] Cold Conversion Summoner | Build guides for all budgets | (Ghazzy Zoomancer)

Hi guys, I swap to crabbies and its so good for killing bosses - currently I'm running t14-16 maps (haven't tried endgame bosses), but the clear speed is slower than SOs, I can't push the Corruption over 250+ like SOs did before (always 100 to 180).
Right now I have a trouble with Elder's Guardian - The Eradicator, idk why but when the boss's hp dropped to 2/3 and he did not change phase, he still standing there, cast these shitty lightning spires and that melted me and my zombies instantly.
Thanks Deadandlivin for your guide, that helps me alot

Has anyone tested the Auls vs +2 amulet? I've been running T14-16 and defenses feel really good with just a basic stat/resist amulet. I don't see the need to get another defensive layer and lose out on damage.

Im running 3 SO and 1 crabby b/c I just love the map clear. The only real downside I have with the build currently is top tier damage at this point for bosses. I'm missing 5 lvls for my Carrion golem (missing lvl 21 gem, 2 lvls on amulet, 1 lvl on wand, and only have +2 helm). Nedd +2/+2 shield. Missing 2 lvls on Spectres. Need +2/+2 shield and ele weakness gloves for my AG. Then awakkened and lvl 21 gems. All these upgrades are multiple ex now but each will be big damage boosts.

Hi guys, I need your help.

I'm currently stuck at level 94 and somewhere of the medium budget build.

At this point, I just don't know what is the experience bar any more. I'm dying a lot to random one shots. I fell like i've missed something i can't see.

Can someone help to see where i could be wrong? Is there anything i could do to die less without lose my dps?

Besides my character gear, I've been using on AG: Windscreen Boots, Kingmaker, Leer Cast, Doppelgänger Guise, and a random elemental weakness glove.

Get a taunt and blind abyss jewel. Get vaal blade vortex to use on rare/uniques and bosses. You don't have to stand ontop of them. Try bone offering - gets you to max block and some life regen. Try to squeeze in a vaal molten shell. Put molten shell in your movement click (left mouse for me) and use vaal molten for sticky situations. Its goves me 3000-5000 effective HP. I moved phase run with my flask piano keys. Get stun immunity corrupted jewels(nedd 4 25% or 5 20%). The flask increased recovery mastery is better than 2% while moving IMO.

I personally like the utility provided with a proper Auls. Once cool thing I've been doing when running easier content like maps is swap Grace for Vaal Haste instead for massive boosts to movement speed and attack speed to our minions.
So Auls can actually work as a dps neck aswell(You need Hatred reservation removal for that).

I'm probably gonna try and make a +2 Neck later. My biggest issues with those necks is that they're incredibly annoying to craft.
Simply "Woke'n Pray" type of crafts annoy me alot. You pretty much have to hit high life, otherwise I wouldn't use a +2 neck. If you can get high life though, you can save the neck with suffix rerolls from Harvest.

The biggest upgrade we can get in terms of damage is a brittle shield. I've never play with one, but in theory it should be busted once we craft one.

I'm currently investing alot into defenses to make sure I can hit 98 in solo play without any issues. After that I'll start bringing the build into endgame damage territory.

Some modifications I would suggest is looking at my tree, I'm doing alot of wonky stuff there to stay alive.

Before that though, one extremely important note regarding your gear:
I can't find any source of lightning or Fire damage to spells. This means that your Elemental Equilibrium does nothing so you're missing out on 25% cold exposure.

To fix this you want to craft flat Lightning and Fire on one of your rings. It's a prefix. There are 2 different crafts like that. One which is Fire and Lightning dmg to attacks which doesn't work. One which is Flat fire and lightning dmg, this is the one you want to get.
It gives a small amount of fire and lightning dmg to your BV which will procc cold exposure.

These are some things I did to drastically boost my survivability:
1. Auls Uprising with Hatred Reservation. I got mine for 5 ex, put in Vaal Grace and now have 92% Evade. Pretty much immune to Physical damage at this point besides large AoE slams that you need over 100k armour to survive.
2. Ailments like Shock and Poisons were a huge problem to me because they lead to random oneshots.
I decided to specc 4 points for Annointed Flesh and took a -20% ailment duration Mastery node for Duration Mastery at Potency of Will.
This results in -70% reduced Ignite, Freeze and Shock durations and 30% reduced effect of Shock. I also got 60% reduced effect of shock on one of my Flasks for 90% reduced shock effect making me basically immune to shock.

I decided to go with Lunaris as Pantheon for swapping from Brineking since I don't need the freeze immunity any longer. I also don't need the 60% reduced ignite Pantheon so I now run the poison one instead which reduces Poison durations by 50%, caps poison stacks at 3 and gives me much needed mitigation against chaos damage.

3. Use Bone Offering for max attack/spell dodge. If you want to level this is the correct offering to use. Even if blocks only reduce damage by 35% this is enough to keep us alive majority of the time. People seem to be giving Glancing Blows a bad rep, but I'd rather block attacks/spells 75% of the time leaving me at 30% hp to I can pop a flask rather than blocking all damage 30% of the time killing the rest.

After making these changes I've been free to level up without any issues at all. However, don't do hard bosses like Sirus or Guardians. You will still die to them. But this solved majority of random oneshots for me during maps and the opportunity cost wasn't too bad. You might lose some minor 16% minion dmg nodes and some life nodes but it's worth it.
We're tanky against phys, the problem is Elemental Ailments and Chaos damage and this solves alot.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, it's not easy to get a Victarios with Determination =(, i've been looking for one since first week and i coundt snipe one yet.

About the jewel, i've tried to craft mine. The one i'm using is the best i could craft for now.

I have two major objectives this league:
1) learn how to craft some end-game gear
2) clear end-game content.

So, I guess i'll have to level up my character first. I will follow your advices.

If anyone has a moment to help regarding multiple block that would be appreciated. In game I seem to have a block chance of like 12/22 or something crazy low like that.

Thanks

Get Glancing Blows, Rumis Concoction and a Divergent Bone Offering and you will hit block cap for close to no investment.

I have the first 2, but running flesh offering atm. Ty.

This is my current setup, I dont have any problems with T14-T16 maps, im on low/mid budget but my question is there's an option that we could fight with final bosses without many issues? And when? ;-)

I know, I need still to replace gems with awekened and get quality on them. Next necklace upgrade, ring upgrade for frostbite. Thats will be enough to own bosses?

PS my helmet is not breaking an EE because of impale/burning skills?
