I'm thinking maybe RF for blitzing through killing everything, curious if anyone has experience they'd like to share positively/negatively This is the problem with a minion focused build, they lag behind, and sometimes they just love to run down a side path and attack invulnerable mobs while dying of the darkness degen. I'm thinking about getting an unset ring with Convocation in it to herd them better, but just rushing in deeper to force the automatic teleport has been somewhat viable. Quite risky though, slamming my palm on the potion key row is often the only way to survive. During the delve encounters minions are golden. Everything dies as soon as it spawns.

How is minion melee guardian turning out compared to the tried and true necromancer?

I still throw out a Smite every now and then for the aura, though. I'm thinking of adding in Spectres, since I picked up the +1 notable. Anyone know some good support spectres? They don't need to do damage; I have plenty of that already.

Carnage Chieftain (gives all allies frenzy charges) and Host Chieftain (gives all allies power charges) from The Ashen Fields in act 7. Be sure to link blood magic with raise spectre otherwise they wont have enough mana to cast more then once. Charges are very strong on minions.

No. But they do die from being whacked by invulnerable mobs repeatedly.

Given that I am extremely lazy, is it worth my while to actually grab an Animated Guardian/Chieftain Spectre? Like how often am I going to need to recast them? Is buying the stuff for a AG as obnoxious as it seems?

pork never goes bad posted:No. But they do die from being whacked by invulnerable mobs repeatedly. Yeah, it's probably the combination of attempting to fight poo poo that doesn't die, and being outside some buffs. I'm not sure exactly how Holy Relic and the Guardian buffs work. But 4 link specters will die if they wander off randomly in delves, even though they are immortal in maps. Edit: maybe they can't leech off of mobs that don't take damage?

Im currently running champion with shield but you can probably build it a million different ways with dual wield.

Cyclone is great for the hallways. The end set pieces are not as good and you have to move around the room a lot.

I have an idea. A flicker strike idea. Flicker strike wasp nest with herald of agony/purity taking advantage of Spiritual Aid. Good idea? Yes. Best Delve idea? Totally.

I got through uber lab last night and while I made it through in one try, I think it might have been more luck than anything since sometimes a string of two or three attacks would sneak through my block and chunk me to almost nothing, and I wonder what would have happened if they hit four in a row. Ive slotted in some more damage mitigation skills but one of the problems Im running into is that I only have 4.5k life despite having a lioneye's remorse, that bear helmet that gives almost 100 life, enchantments on my gloves and boots for life, and 189% increased life on the passive tree. Im using a tabula rasa so that doesnt help things, but it seems like almost all my gear has life on it, my passive tree has life on it, but Im not even close to hitting 6k life. How are people getting these high life numbers? Is it something solved by more levelling?

A few more levels and slightly higher flat life rolls on gear and abyss jewels are the likely culprits. It's easy to look at a ring with 60 life on it and go "that's a lot of life", but you can get >100 there easily.

Awesome, I hadnt looked at rings much since I didnt think they had that much life if they stacked resists, but Ill go do some shopping around
