The Elder Shaman - Summon Barbarian Ft. Sinners [V2.4 UPDATED]

[ScarletEdge]

The Elder Shaman - Summon Barbarian

Introduction
The Summon Barbarian is a self explanatory build. Its power lies in strengthening its minions and mercenary to do the killing for him. It can constantly jump from one enemy to another, bringing the entire party with him. This gives you control over where the damage spreads and allows for single target killing.

Note: this guide is heavily geared toward players with little to no prior experience playing MXL.
(For old players, long walls of text below)

Pros
• Newbie friendly
• Can be played untwinked [without prior TG or investment][SSF]
• Excellent farmer
• Can finish most ubers SSF [up to Uldyssian]
• Great starter character

Cons
• Damage falls off versus end-game bosses compared to other builds.

Mercenary

While your spirits should be capable of carrying you through most of the content, a well-equipped mercenary will significantly increase efficiency. A summon build has the most potential to fully utilize a mercenary, greatly increasing your kill speed depending on which you hire. Here the basic uses and builds of commonly used mercenaries will be explained. There are currently 3 viable option:

Priestess
Act I: Sisters of the Sightless Eye
A weapon-based, ranged mercenary that uses Barrage, Arrowside and Homing Shot Nova. Casts Vindicate to buff the party.

Pros
• Vindicate provides constant HP regeneration.
• Tri-elemental DMG via Barrage skill.
• Fastest kill speed among suggested mercenaries.

Cons
• Lowest DEF and HP mercenary.

Snapshotting

Snapshotting in this context refers to the act of summoning Spirits while using a particular stance whose effects you want to pass onto the spirits then changing to another stance for your own survival. For example, you can activate Wolf Stance, summon spirits then return to Bear Stance. Your spirits will have Wolf Stance bonuses while you have Bear Stance bonuses. Remember this when summoning or resummoning your spirits.

Sinners

Summon Sinner
Summons Sinners, spellcaster minions that cast Apocalypse - a screen wide fire spell.


This oSkill will be vital in creating our end game farming setup. It rolls on Barbarian Sword and Barbarian Shields at level 110 requirement. All of its spell damage stats scale off the stats that are already present in a summoner build, so it makes sense that we make use of it. (Short farming showcase included above)

Early Game

Early game refers to the very start up to the completion of Nightmare Act V. In this section the items, skills and general guidelines to be used as you play through Normal and Nightmare difficulties will be explained.

Stats and Skill Plan

► Show Spoiler

STR - Everything
DEX - None
VIT - None
NRG - None

---

Max - Guardian Spirit, Protector Spirit, Defender Spirit
10-15 Points - Bear Stance(Depending on your current Phys DMG resist[%])
10 Points - Wolven Guide, Mountain King
5 Points - Ancient Blood
4 Points - Wolf Companion
2 Point - Spirit Bond
1 Point - Immortal, Spirit Walk, Shamanic Trance, Spirit Reave, Ancestral Endurance, Runemaster and other Stances

---

Through Shamanic Trance, maxing out STR greatly increases our minion DMG and HP. Nephalem Spirit provides a huge boost in elemental DMG to your spirits. This keeps our kill speed from dropping even after finishing Nightmare. To fully utilize both these skills, we need to invest all our base stat points into STR, up to 600 base STR. Dump the rest into VIT. A few points into Ancient Blood for HP[%] and Mountain King to increase all attributes[%]. The rest are left at 1 point as they scale well enough with soft points. Put enough points in the Shaman Tree to reduce Spirit Walk's cooldown to 3.

[Hatred] Begins

Act I
Use Bear Stance all the time, occasionally switching to Eagle for some regeneration. Just pick up any decent looking rare items to wear for now. Don't forget to pick up all unique items and Catalyst of Disenchantment from Andariel. It lets you turn any unique item into Arcane Shards/Crystals.

Act II
Continue progress and pick up waypoints.

Act III
If you have some extra gold, you can MO some resists onto your jewelry for some extra protection as the monsters will start to hurt more from here on out. Proceed normally and pick up the way points as you finish quests. Continue until you reach Mephisto. You should be capable of farming him as soon as you get there. You'll need to farm him for Arcane Crystals to uptier and create your gear. You can uptier existing Tiered Uniques using the recipe [Tiered Unique + Arcane Crystal]. This rerolls the base and unique item properties to the next tier. You can also make your own TUs with the recipe [2x Arcane Crystals + Oil of Enchantment + Base Item] with base item referring to an item of any rarity(i.e. magic, rare and unique). You'll be using this to create the rest of the gear listed above. Uptier your gear up to whatever tier your level allows. Be sure to check the docs for the appropriate levels so your gear doesn't end up unusable.

Act IV
Continue progress and pick up waypoints.

Act V
Continue progress and pick up waypoints. Try not exceed level 59. Once you're in Baal's throne room, do the Level Challenge just before fighting Baal. Once you're done, proceed to Baal. Put on Wolf Stance and jump on him. Resummon and repeat. This marks the end of Normal and the start of Nightmare.

---

Level Challenge

Find and kill Lister the Tormentor in Baal's throne room on Normal difficulty, and enter the portal to access Tran Athulua


By the time you reach Baal, you should be just a few levels below 60. It's time to head to the Level Challenge. Take note that although the level can be accessed at level 45, you cannot cube the shards together until at least level 50. If you are past level 59, you can still do the challenge, but with the added penalty of 2 Arcane Crystals per 10 levels.

The mechanics of the Level Challenge are simple. Fight through the Amazons until you find three amazon priestesses: Philios, Lycander and Skovos. Defeat the three Priestesses. Each will drop a shard of her respective element. Cube all three shards below level 60 to create the Sunstone of the Twin Seas.

Below is a map for Tran Athulua

Thanks Rishab, I'm still stealing borrowing this image!
I know, this map is old AF, but i'll keep it here for reasons.
For the updated map, refer to this link

Note: The reward for the 3rd quest in Act 5 is a scroll that can be cubed with the Elemental Prism to increase its resistance bonuses.

[Terror] Ensues

Upon reaching Nightmare, your first priority is to check and upgrade your resists until you hit cap again. You can do this by MO'ing resists onto your Honorifics or Jewelry. Everything in Nightmare normal areas should be the same as they were in Normal, but beware: the monsters here are significantly stronger than before. While the general layout and mob spawns will be the same, you'll need to be more careful jumping and engaging them as they will be more likely to kill you now. This becomes more noticeable upon reaching Act 3. From here you'll need to keep it slow and steady until the very end of Act 5. There isn't much to mention aside from a few notes:

° Once you kill reach level 80 and kill Mephisto, proceed to the Ennead Challenge in the section below
° Uptier all your gear to T4
° Don't forget to pick up Catalyst of Learning

---

Ennead Challenge

Access this challenge through killing Mephisto in Nightmare Difficulty


Right now you should be a little over level 80. This challenge can only be done with a character that is level 80 minimum. Your gear should mostly be Tier 3, if not all, by now. This challenge has been toned down and is generally easy for any build with proper early game TUs.

The challenge is simple - you need to run through Kurast 3000 BA in Nightmare difficulty and kill an Ennead Necromancer to get a Heroic Torch.
Place this torch in the Horadric Cube and transmute to receive your class charm.

For reference, you can check out the video in the Uberquest section for the K3KBA Uberlevel.

[Destruction] of all

Like in Nightmare, the first thing you'll do is update your resists to hit cap. With your gear and level, transition from Nightmare to Hell shouldn't be as rough as Normal to Nightmare. Proceed as you normally would. Finish all Act quests and grab all the way points. This is in preparation to get your charms.

End Game

End game includes finishing Destruction Difficulty and farming to obtain your end gear. Once you reach this point of the game, your party is near peak strength and can farm most areas in a breeze.

Uberquests

Uberquests or Ubers deemed possible with this build will be discussed in the order which I completed them. Each one will be given a rating of either Easy, Moderate or Difficult depending on gear and player skill requirement.

Easy
This level requires little to no prior experience with ubers. The fights are mostly straightforward and simple. It can be done with mostly early game gear.

Moderate
This level denotes less straightforward ubers with some mechanics that may prove difficult on your first attempt. These ubers can be done with a mix of early game and mid game gear. I also recommend farming your signets to increase your VIT/HP before attempting these.

Difficult
This level requires a certain extent of familiarity with ubers, practice and sometimes a little bit of luck. By the time you reach these ubers, you should already have a feel for the general gameplay and strategies often utilized to clear these quests. While end game gear is not a requirement, it is highly recommended to get at least improved mid game crafts to reduce the chances of mishaps and failed attempts. You can obtain these by crafting items with better stats and affixes.

Note: some of the videos below were taken several times before I finally succeeded in killing a boss or obtaining a charm. The purpose of these videos is to show that the following ubers are possible with this build.
I will try to remake the videos on version 2.4 as time permits.

(As I don't have a lot of time to reroll new character, I'll do the videos with my current Barb. I'll adjust my charms, stats and skill point distribution according to the proper progression level of each uber. I'll show them in the beginning of each video.)

You will find Rodeo somewhere in the pen area as you enter the portal. He deals heavy physical damage, casts Hoof Stomp and Cow Rush. Position yourself behind a fence to block his skills. You can't teleport while inside, meaning you can't use Spirit Walk. You'll have to keep hiding behind the fence until you see an opening to rush in with Spirit Reave. It only takes 2-3 hits.

+ Upgrade

You can access this uber by entering the red portal leading to Silver Spire, just northeast of Silver City. Move along the halls until you find the portal to Silver Spire 2, then the portal to Crystal Arch. Approaching the traveler in Crystal Arch opens 2 portals. One leading to Imperious and the other to Malthael.

While both archangels and the Edyrem still do considerable damage, this uber has been significantly simplified as of recent versions. One thing to note are the Death Strikes in Malthael's area. The area itself is dimly lit, making it harder to notice on the ground. Just keep moving around. Spirit Walk to use Spirit Reave on Malthael whenever its not on cooldown and watch your health. As for Imperius, he casts Frozen Breath. There are also constant tremors. You can choose either portal for obtaining the base charm.

For the charm upgrade, you'll need to obtain both blue and red overlays on your character then cube the charm by itself. In order to do this, you must kill both avatars within 60 seconds of each other. Doing so will grant you both overlays that will allow you to upgrade the charm. The way I do it is going for Malthael before Imperius, as I find him more troublesome to kill. Be quick and cube it before either overlay disappears.

Quov Tsin is a lot more doable now, especially with Spirit Reave. Kill Kentril Dumon to open the portal to the Vizjerei Temple. You'll find Quov Tsin at the center platform. He uses a tri-elemental beam, hive and an occasional bone nova - this deals high damage so don't get hit. Don't jump or you might take a bone nova at point blank. Distract him with your spirits and use Spirit Reave from behind. Once he's hit, retreat and hide for a while as he'll go nuts from the continuous DMG. Resummon and rush in again with another Spirit Reave.

Mid Game Farming

Once you have all the charms above, you're safe to stop and farm for your mid game items and signets. Ideally you'll want to farm K3KBA with an A1 or A3 mercenary because you'll need shrines to craft your gear. You can get the most Signets by running through Torajan Jungles.

Alternatively, you have an option to farm Tran Athulua. You may want to respec to Runemaster and use an Abjurer with Ornate crafted gear to do this more efficiently. Spirit Guide will instantly cap his FCR so you can socket all his gear with Nef runes. Additionally you can buff him with Mark of the Wild.

This place is easy as a summoner and even easier with a mercenary. Just clear a path to Zagraal. You'll find him in the very center of the map. Once there, keep Bear Stance on hit him with Spirit Reave. Resummon your spirits on top of him as he can kill them quickly. He can also transform into a bat to avoid all damage. This slightly prolongs the fight.

I recommend grinding your level here up to 125.

That said, he's nothing too difficult. Just summon Defender Spirits to keep him busy and Guardian Spirits outside of his skill range. Don't use Spirit Walk. Repeat until he dies. Don't forget to dodge the incoming flamestrikes. If you have enough HP, you can try hitting him with Spirit Reave to make it faster. You'll have to make him teleport so you can safely land Spirit Reave, before he starts stacking his AoE skill.

Lucius, who drops the charm, can't be damaged by normal means so you'll need Malic to kill him for you. Malic fires bolts that deal damage similar to purify.

To do this, you'll need to traverse the area until you find Durram. He has a chance to drop the Tome of Possession. Keeping this in your inventory grants you the oSkill, mind control, to use on Lucius. If it doesn't drop, create a new game.

Once you have the tome, make your way to Lucius. Head southeast from where you find Durram, to the cells just past Malic. Ignore Malic for now. Clear the entire area sounding Lucius and Malic. Once clear, lure Lucius to where Malic is. Mind control Lucius to make them fight each other. Malic will likely fire in you or your spirit's direction, so make his bolts hit Lucius until he dies.

This uber contains Slain Souls, Necromorbs and Assur. Each Slain Soul is immune to a random damage type. They move fast and hit hard. The most dangerous ones are the Magic immune Slain Souls as they throw exploding barrels that will kill you if you get caught in its AoE. You'll need to Spirit Walk out and dodge these barrels the moment you see them. You can spot them by keeping an eye out for thrown barrels and ignited gunpowder trails. Necromorbs are small, physical immune orbs that fire magic bolts from a distance. Assur, the boss, is in an area far up north from the entrance. He's immune to everything and deals heavy fire damage.

Before attempting to fight Assur, you'll need

Assur's Bane

as he can only be damaged using Purify skill. You can make this by cubing a

Ring of the Five

, which has a drop to chance from any monster in Duncraig, with 5 seals from 5 minibosses spread across the map.
See the map below for their locations:

Once you obtain the ring and reach Assur, the fight is easy if you have enough resists. It only takes 1 or 2 hits from purify to take him down. After that just dodge his attacks and watch his HP go down.

You can find the entrance just north of the waypoint in Island of Skatsara. This uber consists of three levels. The first two levels consist of huge mazes that house maggot eggs that spawn untargetable maggots on death. They deal heavy poison damage. Teleport across paths to traverse the levels easier. The third level is a small stage where Xazax awaits you at the top. He casts punishers, devouring cloud and uses meteor shower. He also summons unkillable Penitents whenever he teleports on hit. They move fast and use death blossom on attack.

He's pretty easy with Spirit Reave. Just distract him with spirits then rush in with Spirit Reave. Retreat while on cooldown. Repeat until he's dead. Run it until you get +2 Barbarian skills.

You can access this level by opening a portal using the Key of Lies dropped by Maghda. You can summon him by activating the left-side seals.

The level is filled with various Elite Monsters. You can find Belial at the northeastern portion of the map, atop a small square platform. He will start casting his skills even from a distance.

Clear the path to Belial. Once there, he'll start casting skills left and right. One thing to note is his slow moving cold meteor. Make sure to dodge it. He'll also continuously create doppelgangers with lower HP. It'll be a confusing fight so just keep dodging and kill everything you see. You can probably differentiate the fake ones by how fast their HP goes down with Spirit Reave.

Fauztinville

► Show Spoiler

Location - Act 5: Fauztinville
Reward: Great Runes - Taha, Ghal and Qor
Reward: Positronic Brains

To access this level, you need to cube your Black Road charm with the 5 gems dropped by the elemental mini-bosses surrounding Kabraxis' center platform. Once upgraded, you can cube the charm with any rune to create the portal scroll. This will eat the rune, so just use low level runes.

You should do fine here if you've done all the other charms leading up to this point. You'll also want to transition to mid game gear and bring a properly geared mercenary. The most dangerous thing here are the Necrobots and the mini-bosses Alpha, Gamma and Delta. You can simply avoid the 3 mentioned bosses if you're not geared well enough to tank their skills. As for Necrobots, spirit walk and kill them first to avoid having their numbers stack as you make your way through the area.

Aside from crossing the area to access Bremmtown, this place will serve as your main source of experience and shrines. You can grind your level here up to 140 and even farm the runes needed for

Thelema

. You can also farm this area for Fauztinville Great Runes. The minibosses drop Positronic Brains that can be used to craft and charge the Catalyst of Transference. This can be used to change one shrine type into another based on the set option.

Ghosts of Old Bremmtown

► Show Spoiler

Location - Act 5: Fauztinville
Reward: Class Charm Upgrade

To reach the portal to Bremmtown, you have to go northwest from the entrance. Its a straight path so just keep moving until you reach a platform that looks like a Canyon of the Magi waypoint.

The place will be full of invisible Howling Spirits that pounce on you once you're within range. Be careful as they tend to pounce in groups. The idea is to summon a spirit ahead of you, walk ahead and summon again to lure the next wave. Rinse and repeat until you reach the dragon. Your Defender Spirits should keep you safe with Retaliate. Not to mention Runemaster makes this very easy. Just let your spirits and merc kill everything and keep moving. Once you see the dragon, spirit walk and kill it fast. Pick up the charm and cube it by itself to apply the class specific bonus upgrade.

Note: the bonus upgrade will only apply if you kill the dragon within 90 seconds of entering the level. You'll need to do the summon-move pattern quickly. If you don't get it the first run, just keep trying.

Elemental Resists +(1 to 10)%

Baal is a lot tougher in Destruction as he also summons Minions that empower him and Visions that make him invulnerable. Try not to use your spirits as a larger party increases his chances of spawning enemies. Use Wolf Stance and Spirit Reave. Whenever he summons anything, try to get them apart and kill his minions before engaging him again. You can summon your Spirits to deal with the Visions if they appear too strong to handle by yourself. Just make sure to unsummon them right after. The only thing left to note is to avoid standing in his black traps as they explode.

---

As you can see this fight is more annoying that is it difficult, That said, once your initial party is gone, just hit him with Spirit Reave and kite him while it's on cooldown.

10% Movement Speed

You can find the entrance down the narrow hall in the Vizjerei Temple, just past Quov Tsin.

This uber contains Citizens, Dark Wardens, Punisher Turrets and Juris Khan himself. Citizen are untargetable zombies that move fast, hit hard and inflict poison. Dark Wardens use retaliate that knockback and deal high damage. The turrets shoots punishers in a spiral once you're within sight. Juris Khan, the boss, can be found at the very end of this uber. This is a long walk so be sure to bring extra potions.

Get as much movement speed and HP as you can. Carefully make your way through the area, strafing left and right to avoid directly running into Citizens. Don't spirit walk onto Dark Wardens. Your spirits should take most of their attention as you pass by, but you'll still constantly get hit. If you start running low on potions on your belt, teleport onto the nearest safe spot and refill your belt. Your spirits will be on top of you so you should be safe for the moment. Rinse and repeat until you find Juris Khan. Spirit Walk on him then Spirit Reave. Be careful not to die to the surrounding citizens.

Note: This uber can be done much easier if you respec to Runemaster

(Ps. This is actually a level 120 uber, but is marked Difficult due to the necessary gear and stats to make running it feel comfortably doable. It's possible to do much earlier.)

You can find the portal entrance by approaching the traveler southeast of Ureh's entry point. This uber is a bit of a gear check, so make sure you have enough Spirit Reave DMG and HP before proceeding. Bring extra potions.

Once you're in, go further inside until you find another traveler in the center. Approaching it will spawn Atanna Khan. Notice that there may or may not be witches scattered around the area, depending on the map roll. They cast lethal, slow-moving flames that heal Atanna Khan if it kills anything near her. Between fighting the boss and dodging the flames, this fight could take you many tries so try to roll for a map with at least a suitable combat area, with few to no witches.

The general strategy for this fight is to lure her out with Defender Spirits, then rush in with Spirit Reave once you see an opening between her casting skills. Retreat and resummon while on cooldown. Rinse and repeat. This may take a few or so practice runs if you're not used to dodging her skills.

If you really can't roll a good map with few witches, you can just hit and run with Spirit Reave like I did. Tho it takes a lot longer.

Spirit World

► Show Spoiler

Location - Mbwiru Eikura - Teganze (Act 3: Torajan Jungles)
Reward:

Ghost Trance

This is a level 125 uber, but put it up here since its a major DPS check for this build. You can find the entrance in the very center of Teganze, just behind where you find Zagraal. Once you enter, don't go through or near the center until you've destroyed all the outlying nests in the area. They continuously spawn untargettable, slow-moving little orbs that do considerable damage as they start to stack up. They also grant the Spirit of Giyua invulnerability while it's near a nest.

Once the outer area is clear, approach the center. The Spirit will pounce on you once you're within range. It'll also start spawning more nests. You need to destroy these before you can damage it again. It's a bit difficult to hit 'em with Spirit Reave with all the teleporting, so just use it to quickly get rid of the nests. Then jump on the Spirit while it's vulnerable. If they orb density gets a little high, lure them away from the combat area before continuing the fight.

Upgrade

This is almost the same as the previous Invasion uber. Except it has significantly higher DMG and has another added uber mechanic. Every now and then, the Riftwalker will become immune to DMG. This is your cue to Spirit Walk on top of it to dodge the incoming arena-wide DMG waves. This can kill you almost instantly so pay attention to the status under his health bar. Aside from that, everything is the same as Invasion II.

Credits

I honestly didn't think I'd ever find the time to try and get back to this community with everything going on in life. I'm glad I tried and I'm glad I did.

As usual I would like to thank everyone in the MXL Team for a job well done - to all the members who have come and gone during my absence of over 4 years from the community. To everyone who answered my questions and helped me catch up with all the new updates. I'm really glad to see that the community is still alive and well even after all these years. Thanks to everyone I stole borrowed map images from and to everyone who shared their input while writing this the original guide.

Special thanks to Grazitz for the most up to date Summon Barb guide available. It really helped me catch up with the current gameplay of this build when I first got back.

And thank you for taking the time to read all the way down here. I hope you found this helpful!

is obviously good due to max minion count.

But there should be someone still selling them somewhere, I'll try to get both of them since I'm a bit curious as well. No harm in losing ssf since I've done all I can without already

On a side note, looks like my badge reset. Oomf.

Good guide, it's things like this that go a long way in helping the community.

Also not a big deal but an icebreaker runeword for a1 merc could be added in a1 merc suggestions.
Ideally in reflex bow w 55-60 ed and 5 ed mo added before rw. Unless I'm missing something w chillstring a icebreaker well rolled will be massively better for merc.

Thanks!

About the merc, honestly it's because chillstring is easy to come by and it gives a lot of pierce with the gematria bonus. Just fill it with ele runes or taha for more overall pierce. Initially I had her with a crafted bow with high ED and max dmg, but that didn't cut it since barrage needed pierce to shine. But I'll be sure to run by teganze a bit and try that as well.

Thanks for the guide. I have a question about Sinner. I have a summon Necro already with a +Sinner offhand on swap. If I cast him and then swap back to my main weps, he despawns the next time i cast anything and doesnt seem to do much dmg anyway. Am I doing something wrong? Do you use the sinner gear just for farming areas and the +max minions su's for bosses? Or do you summon your barb minions witht the SU's and then swap and summon sinners and stay on those crafted weps? Thanks

Ah, gotcha thanks. That'll be rough for me to find on my own haha.

How hard would you say rolling Sinner on the crafted weps is compared to Warcry which is really really rare?
