GEMCRAFT LABYRINTH LOW LEVEL LEVELING FULL

Physical is less demanding for gem slots and has a slightly more flexible passive tree, but the damage with cold is higher. 'Why Cold, instead of Physical with Impale?' See my video on this subject for details. 'Does your build work with Chains of Command?'Д¬hains of Command has a very different playstyle, which some prefer - you can convert the core of this build over to CoC pretty easily.

For a fully automated build, look into Chains of Command with a Scion instead. Link an Unleash Support to Animate Weapon to get up and running more quickly. Huge loss of DPS for very small added convenience, and gem slots are in short supply as it is. I fully researched various automation methods, and the conclusion I reached was Not Worth It. 'Cast While Channeling / Spellslinger / other clever gearing setups to trigger Animate Weapon?' Guardian is also viable (slightly lower damage, more minion speed). I wrote a section on why Necromancer is the best for this build, so at minimum read that before asking. If you want a summoner build with a less active playstyle, this build may not be for you. Later on some of this can be automated away through gearing, but while leveling there are quite a few skills to use. Once you are actively running through a level, you can just raise weapons as you go. Flasks are only used defensively, so no 'piano flasking' to keep up DPS. It's a one-two skill usage, a bit like Essence Drain/Contagion, but weapons have a long duration so it's not required all the time. While leveling, Ethereal Knives or Bladefall generate 'ammunition' for Animate Weapon. more Marauder life nodes, Soul of Steel, and Bone Offering for block rather than Flesh Offering for speed) This guide is for a SC perspective but with small adjustments, more defensive options are available.

The skill tree is 90% the same as one for Summon Raging Spirit, and many people have taken that to high levels in HC before. Aside from that one unique, you can reasonably craft or find every needed item yourself. Even without finding them right away, the build should still be functional without those gloves for a long time. There is only one 'highly recommended' unique, Triad Grip Mesh Gloves. 'Solo self found (SSF) and budget friendly?' Check out the Intro and Mechanics sections first, and then leave a comment if you still have questions. Sure! This guide is comprehensive and intended to be accessible for players with all levels of experience. Further, you get access to the Animate Weapon gem right at the start of Act 1 so leveling is simple. 'Should I league start with Animate Weapon?'ДЄ summoner playstyle doesn't depend heavily on gear, making it very easy to start a new league with. The guide is designed for low- to mid-budget players (5ex or less total). While it can do all content in the game, the final min-max to optimize defenses, do aspirational content, Maven, the Feared, and so on - is left as an exercise for you. This build is designed to smash through the campaign, normal bosses, all the way up to red maps. More active playstyle than other summoners. Dexterity is needed on gear to meet gem requirements. + Can get high HP and either armor or block for late-game defenses. + Low budget to get started, but scales easily into end game. + Safe playstyle with minions that chill, freeze, taunt and blind enemies. Animate Weapon kills everything.ДЇor newer players there is a highly detailed description of all build mechanics, without any jargon, in the very next section! TLDR: Use Triad Grip gloves to convert all minion damage to Cold. GGG Teaser & Thoughts on Scaling Animate Weapon Some of the passive tree advice is now out of date.
