Dr. Strangebuff - Summoner Nec

Hmm I see. My crafted bow has more than twice the physical damage of your current Fleshstinger.

You can still upgrade it though (Unsocket the Jah runes, put enough mystics orbs on it to reach 200% ED, then socket the Jah runes into it again.)

So yeah. I guess testing would still be needed.

BTW: Added Yshari Sanctum strategy for now (no video yet due to few time in RL)

Thanks for the guide. I've been having a blast playing it.

I am currently working on BRC and some early ubers. You seem to have more summons then me at that point. Can you tell me what items are increasing your minion cap?

Thanks

Sure. I found a

Lend Me Thy Light

Lend Me Thy Light
Scale Mail (Sacred)
Defense: (4960 - 6200) to (5538 - 6922)
Required Level: 80
Required Strength: 575
Item Level: 1
+(1 to 3) to Necromancer Skill Levels
+(0 to 1) to Maximum Necromancer Minions
+(100 to 150)% Enhanced Defense
+250 to Mana
Physical Resist 10%
+2 to Light Radius
Socketed (6)

Satanic Mantra
(Necromancer Summoner Set)

in TA when I did the BRC. That's why I had 2 more minions of each minion. You can also increase it with

Felblood

Felblood
Amulet
Required Level: 10
Item Level: 1
Metal Solace: Also Regenerates Totem Life
+(1 to 2) to Necromancer Skill Levels
5% Life stolen per Hit
+4 to Life (Based on Character Level)
3% Reanimate as: Random Monster

or a good crafted sacred marrow staff (this is hard to get pre- 120 though)

Lend my thy light is quite nice though because it increases your defense significantly.

Thanks. Im missing the amulet so I guess I'll start crafting them.

As for a marrow staff I have a sacred one ready to go but haven't played median in a while. What are the steps involved in shrine crafting one to maximize the rolls?

Thanks again!

Well, it's best to have one with ilvl 100. So everything from act 4 terror on is good for a roll. All in all it's just the same thing all the time: Craft with a magical shrine, try to get many + skills (10 or more. 9 is okay, too but the higher the better) and as much +minion life as possible (up to 60% is possible). Trust me, it takes really long to get a good roll, so I hope you have some magical shrines in your stash already

Well and after that just bless it with a magical shrine again for another possible +60% minion life.

If it's too low for you after the blessing, just reroll it.

I found my marrow in Tcows I think.

I knew I needed magical shrines but they are the only ones that are not dropping for me

Well yeah it can take some time. If you're playing online ask your friends to look out for these shrines.

Alternatively you can also use any rare marrow staff with lots of +skills, mo It with +minion life and add perfect bloodstones into the sockets.

[annihilus5]

Yea just throw any shrine on there for now, you can get good rolls to start out from the rare affix pool.

I believe the best unique bow is the Dear Esther Hunter's bow due to the lovely 50% ctc lvl 50 arrow on striking.
