*** Work in Progress **



Pros:

- High Single Target DPS

- Nice Clear Speed

- Easy to gear ( Three unique at 1c each )

- You dont need to prevent that your Zombie dies, because you can resummon them easily, Thanks to Eldritch Battery

- Spectres are more tanky then Stygian Revenants or Evangelist

Quality of Life

No Spell Echo on Spectre so you dont need to remove it when getting spectres.

No Desecrate (You can't desecrate Knitted Horrors)





Cons

- Cant desecrate Knitted Horrors so it would be really painful to get them in maps.

- Less tanky then my hybrid version







Links: What i feel is mandatory

- Zombies -



Raise Zombie - Minion Damage - Poison - MultiStrike - Bloodlust - (Melee Physical Damage, Empower or Rapid Decay)



- Spectres -

The Spectres we will use are Knitted Horrors, They are REALLY tanky, have a 100% pierce bleed so we can use the Bloodlust support gems on your Zombie.



Raise Spectre - Minion Damage - Greater Multiple Projectiles - Poison - Slower Projectiles



Curses - Ball Lightning - Curse on Hit - Vulnerability - Enfeeble

Auras - Hatred - Haste - Generosity



Somewhere

Flesh Offering - Convocation

Optional / Nice to have



Chaos Golem - Animated Guardian - Vaal Discipline - Vaal Haste





UPDATE 2.1.1d

https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1563631

Fixed a bug where increases to minion attack and cast speed per skeleton you own on Femurs of the Saints was not working. This can now also cause similar performance issues to what was experienced with the "Minion Life Regeneration per Raging Spirit you own" mod. We are aware of this issue and looking into a method of fixing it.



Now Vaal Summon Skeleton is making the instance lag / crash when we use it.

I suggest you switch to vaal haste or vaal discipline

Gear:

Spoiler





Gear Explanation



Femurs Of The Saints



Why its good

+2 Level of supported Minions gems, This scale our damage by a LOT since level of zombie impact a lot on life and raw physical damage which scale our poison.

2% increased Minion Attack and Cast Speed per Skeleton you own. This means that when we use Vaal Summon Skeletons, our minions gets 66% Attack Speed, This is better than a Vaal Haste.

12% increased Minion Damage per Spectre you own . Since we own 4 Spectres, this gives 48% Increased Minion Damage for each minion we have.



Vis Mortis. This is usually a bad chest, Low Energy Shield, No life no nothing.

+1 Spectre, Bleed converage, more damage and +12% Minion Damage (With Femurs Of The Saints)

We use our energy shield as mana so we dont need a lot.

Minions have 20% reduced Maximum Life, This is a downside, we just need to take 2 Minion life node on the tree to make it have no effect.

Minions deal 15% increased Damage, nice to have.

Minions gain Unholy Might for 5 seconds on Kill, This IS the reason i use that chest.



**UPDATE**

I stopped using Vis mortis for a high es/life chest for more defensive options, you do lose clear speed but i dont mind it that much.



Let me remind you what Unholy Might do,

Unholy Might is a buff that grants an additional 30% of physical damage as chaos damage.



This means that our poison from minion will scale from physical AND chaos damage, wich result in a more potent poison.

**UPDATE**

I will do a video of me doing atziri with this build for the first time wish me luck :)

How to level as a summoner:

Spoiler

a Scion is better for levelling than a Witch.



Since Patch 2.1 it IS possible to level as a summoner.



Bandit - Help Oak - Kill - Kill

Get Summon Ragings Spirits at level 4.

SRS - Minion Damage - Melee Splash



*I can do a more better levelling guide if its asked.
