Hello. I have about 60 divines which I can invest into this build and already play a Elementalist curently lvl 95 which I can respec. Is it enough to switch to the late game Necromancer version and what major changes from the 3.19 spoiler to this league should I be worried about? Been looking for a summoner build and this one caught my attention. How is it in Sanctums? Cheers and good luck on this league.

Hi! You should be able to specc into Necromancer from the get go with that money. I would say that the requirement to specc Necromancer is to have enough money to setup an explodey Animate Guardian. Prior to that, one should look to play Occultist.

I've prepared a Necromancer PoB for the early lategame for this league specifically and it's looking something like this:

https://pastebin.com/Bs3NabGg

The two expensive components will be the aggro wand and Ashes in that PoB, aswell as the Animate Guardian setup. The secondary wand does not need to have aggro, keep that in mind.

Due to this league, we're able to get Elemental Equilbirum on a relic which is why we can use a Brass Dome for 90% max res.

Unfortunately, chaos res is a huge issue and is only solveable with a Mageblood due to the massive resistance pressure on our gear this setup has.

Running my cold conversion similar to this https://pastebin.com/yHb4jL78
But still don't have enough div for frac aggressive wand and kingmaker yet.
Running Saqawal's next instead of brass dome, survivality is not that great compare to brass dome, but it's a big boost in damage, can clear bosses easily(not uber 1).

Tried to run physical minion + 100% suppress last league, that's really comfortable, will try to work on that on this cold conversion minion after i farmed my mageblood, it would be a big challenge since we don't have glove to boost our suppress to 100%.

This is my current version of the build with some expensive gear.

What can I upgrade or change to improve survivablity/DMG even more ?
(mainly survivablity because the damage I have now is more than enough imo)

I have deflection annointed for max attack block and to get 3 endurance charges for 12 phys reduction and then a watchers eye with block and more phys reduction.
I also use forbidden flame/flesh to get elemancer for more damage and an extra stone golem for HP reg.
Maybe I should swap them for something else ?

Is the helmet enchant / sockets from golems/skeletons correct or should I use empower instead of divergent hypothermia ?

And for the helmet should I use something else instead of spell echo since it does not help spectres that much but is great for absolution.

With boots 10% + belt 12% and relic 10% CDRR my molten shell has a 2.6 second cd and 10.1sec duration.

Also I dont really see the point of going for 150+dex just to max out dash and phase run, the difference between having them at 100dex is minimal.
This helps with geting very high chaos ress and other stats.

Here is another alternativ (different shield and with charisma now).
With this I get 72 chaos res but lost 1% spell block, 12% cdrr and need to get a 4 all res large cluster to fix the missing 1% cold.
Taste of hate for more physical and cold reduction.

Elemental EQ is in relic.

Is there a way to trigger EQ without absolution/blade vortex ? (Molten shell and tempest shield I guess?)
I would prefer to use zombies but I dont have a slot for vortex unless I remove duration on molten shell or secondwind in gloves.

Here is my build now https://pastebin.com/URfepYQR
Currently I feel super tanky and have massive damage.
I have killed uber uber elder/Maven/Sirus.
Some deaths but also managed to kill uber Sirus deathless and uber uber elder deathless.

Any thoughts on the build post-nerf, now that there's a couple of you with good progression? I did chaos skeletons occultist this league, which wasn't bad, but it got unpleasant to scale after a while. Thinking of going back to cold carrion next league, there's really nothing with the same "walk around while everything dies" QOL that I've experienced.

What's up Dead, do we think our cold carrion boys will be viable and super good as usual this league with it's changes?
I skipped the last few leagues but the only way I'd come back for this one is if I was playing this exact build, hope you'll find a way and have some time to make it work! Stay safe

The build should remain super strong. Really hard to nerf or outperform it since it just stacks minions ontop of eachother for higher efficiency.

I'm not personally gonna update this forum guide this league. Will most likely do it in the future. However, GhazzyTV which is a huge buildcreator and content creator on youtube is updating this buildguide.

He's going to release a Youtube video and written guide on PoEVault.
He's naming the build the Zoomancer which is this build with some changes made streamlining the build for a wider audience.

So if you're interested in playing an updated versio of this build, check out his youtube video when he releases it.

Compared to other metaminion builds like Poison SRS I think this build is better at higher budgets but slightly weaker at lower budgets due to how ridiculous poison scaling is with low investment. Poison dmg has a cap though so poison builds usually cap out at ~35 million dps while my build well goes above the 100 million mark with investment.

I finished 3.20 with this build:

I'm probably just gonna post a 3.21 league start PoB for how I'm gonna leaguestart and call it a day. Mainly because me and Ghazzy want to leaguestart the build differently. Personally, I'm leaguestarting the build as Occultist(Did it last league) because I think Profane Bloom explosions are cheating and just make the game too easy early on. Then I swap to Necromancer when I got my explodey AG setup.

Ghazzy thinks having builds that swap ascendencies midway between budgets et.c. makes the game harder for newer and casual players and I kinda agree. So his leaguestarter is running Necro all the way and focuses more on defenses with blockcap et.c. to give his followers a smoother and less rippy experience.

I personally focus more on speed, dps and clear so I can push harder content earlier and farm currency faster to hit the endgame faster.

I'd be very interested in your pob, I'm a sucker for this build, and I don't mind tinkering to find a middle ground between rippy and reapy; cod+portal op, etc.

Do you just rush explodey with an uncorrupted gravebind and base chest with explodey as its only good mod?

Also how was minion survivability on uber bosses last league?

Thanks dead, I'm hyped to play this again.

Depends on how much you want to swap to necro or not. Personally, last leauge I stayed Occultist for a very long time farming about 300 divines before I swapped to Necro. Mainly because I'm lazy and Occultist was getting the job done.
It was pretty squishy though and I was hardstuck level 96 for the entire duration but didn't bother me.

To most people I suggest making a cheap explodey AG to start off.
That means uncorrupted Gravebinds, Inpulsa and a Redeemer helm for -9% cold res.
This is because the AG is kinda susceptible of dying early on when you don't have enough +1 levels from items. When you have +2 from helm and +2 from both your weapons or weapons + shield combo making your Anomalous AG level 24, I think it's enough for the cheap AG. Higher investment AG need atleast level 27 imo.

Uber bosses was fine for me. I did all of them. You want to swap Anomalous AG for Divergent AG when doing ubers.
My Zombies had 40k health and was my squishiest minion. The worst uber fight was Maven by far. Minions randomly dropped from getting shotgunned by GMP Meteors. Other than that all Uber fights were very easy to me.

Uber Eldritch bosses(White, Sirus and Cortex all died in a couple of seconds so didn't get to see much of the fights. Uber Shaper was hard to do deathless due to the ball phase. During Uber Uber Elder I just ran around in a circle like a headless chicken until they died.

Zombies died during Maven, Uber Shaper and Uber Exarch. Lost Golems to Maven aswell, not anyone else.

This is how far I've come on the 3.21 League Start PoB.

https://pobb.in/KHKxIcXCqhvu

Only includes 3 arbitrary profiles for now, all for Occultist.
There's a setup for White, Yellow and Red maps.

Will add Necro profiles later.
