Equipment

 

Budget

Expensive: it cost about 2000 Chaos Orbs.

 

Item Mods

Minion Damage

Life

Elemental Resistances

Dexterity

 

Mandatory Uniques

 

The Covenant

This unique armour grants a huge amount of chaos damage to our minions. This is perfect for this build.

 

United in Dream

This sword is mandatory because it grants our minions 60% chance to poison on hit. It also grants the Envy Aura a lot more added chaos damage.

 

Ancient Skull

This unique helmet grants our minions a huge damage and attack speed buff. This is awesome for applying lots of poison stacks.

The downside is that it causes our minions to take chaos damage over time. But don't worry. If you follow this build, your minions will have maximum chaos resistance.

 

Darkness Enthroned

With this unique belt, we will use 2 abyssal jewels for our minions to achieve 100% chance to poison on hit.

 

Rare Shield

Brimstone Pith: needs some life, minion damage, elemental resistances, and +1 to level of all minions' skill gems.

Vengeance Emblem: needs a lot of life, some elemental resistances, and chance to block spell damage.

Leveling

 

Tips

Use Glacial Hammer until level 4.

After level 4, get your Summon Raging Spirits from Nessa in the first town. This can be done right after completing the "Breaking Some Eggs" quest.

 

Main Skills

1. The first skill you'll get is Glacial Hammer. Use it until level 4.

 

2. As soon as you reach the first town, purchase Raise Zombies from Nessa. They will help you with more damage. Use it as your secondary skill.

 

3. Level 4: replace Fireball with Summon Raging Spirits.

 

4. Level 8: support Summon Raging Spirits with Added Fire Damage, Minion Damage and Melee Splash. Also, support your Raise Zombies with Minion Damage.

 

5. Level 10: you can use a Skeleton Totem for extra boss damage. Also, activate Clarity more mana regeneration.

 

6. Level 16: activate Summon Skitterbots for more damage and survivability. You can also activate Vitality for more life regeneration.

 

7. Level 18: replace Added Fire Damage with Melee Physical Damage on your Summon Raging Spirits setup. Support your zombies with Minion Life and Melee Physical. Damage. Add Melee Physical Damage on Skeleton Totem.

 

8. Level 38: replace Melee Physical Damage with Multistrike on your Summon Raging Spirits setup.

 

9. Level 59: you can equip your Femurs of the Saints and start using the main SRS setup. It's ok if you don't have 6 links because it's luxury. You will be fine with 4 or 5 links while saving PoE currency to link the last slots.

 

10. Level 75: equip all mandatory uniques and respec our tree. Now our SRS are going to be poisonous. Replace Clarity and Skitterbots with the Envy Aura (United in Dream) and Determination. Also, use Malevolence linked with Divine Blessing.
