Dr. Strangebuff - Summoner Nec

what stats we're looking for, for the minions? I currently have:
658% Minion Health
321% Minion Damage
105% Minion Resist

75% minion resist
Minion life depends on when your rampagors will rollover (when they reach 90 k their life will be reduced by 90 k. So they'll end up with only a little bit of life. But don't forget your skeletal flayer minions also add some life to the base value. So you can only make them have around 86 k life)

Everything else goes into minion damage.

Thanks HechtHeftig, I'll use your calculator to make sure I'm on track. Thank you!

Are you absolutely sure? I remember reading from the old LFAQ that all you need is 50%. On Hatred it gives pretty much immunity against elements, on Terror very nice 75% res, on Destruction 50% (max).

If you get 75% resistance from items (which is a cap) your minions on Destruction will have 50% ressistances.

5 first lvls for each minion talent gives 15% = cap 75%
Items 75%
destruction level -100 %
In total you end up with 50% minion's resistances.

Oh yeah that's how it was. Thx.

Have you tried to go some Hardest Uber with this Build?

Some uber I can not to do.

I'm refining my gear atm for some other Ubers.

Xazax for example... I tried him with the2 items that grant psyonic storm. I got him down by 1/3 until he spawned too many adds that make it impossible to inflict further damage. The minions die too fast as well, so there's no need to summon anything st all unless to change the focus of the Adds. I want to make a gulxis staff and try it out with flamestrike first before I can add him.

Yshari sanctum. The main boss is doable. When you have the 2 sets complete you can go ahead and kill him. It's just that the fight takes so long that I'm not really fond of completing it anytime soon since I have some busy rl atm.

Kabraxis is not doable for now because of Soulstealer affix. I want to try him with gulxis rw as well.

Tsorun tsin or whatever he's spelled is too annoying because of the minions he spawns which are like khalimgrad lantern minions. Since we have to constantly resummon the minions we lack mobility. Hence it's quite hard for now and I will have to see how we can beat him.

Terul is easy. Killed him already but didn't upload a video yet.

Void - haven't tried yet

Triune is really hard because of the meteors that instakill us. Even constant teleporting will not help much. There are too many things that block a straight teleport. I think it can be done, but it's really hard and you should not rely on teleport that much but rather walk. Which then again will make our merc move as well and thus he won't attack.

Kingdom of shadow: I still have to figure out how to get to the bridge. It's hard to get there when you teleport. So basically you have to walk all the time which then kills our totems. I haven't cleared it yet but my guess is: walking with your summons having your back until you reach the bridge, then porting to town and summoning your totems is a possible way to do it.

Duncraig boss: kinda hard. The fight took me around 2 hours until I stopped trying. Simply because I had too many corpses and didn't want to lose all my gear I had to go recover my body all the time. But in general the strategy is summoning minions in his face and occasionally casting purify on him. With totem nec I was able to do it last ladder. But that was on the other map and with another player holding my to open. The new map is real Cancer and I think to be able to beat him you have to be lucky.

Vizjun: it is possible. But I still have to find a 100% successful strategy. Usually you just have to teleport on MCS and use purify. But bend the shadows is not that precise. And blink on the other hand has a cd which takes too much time so we can't purify him in time before the next beacon drops. It really depends on luck a lot.

That's all I've tried so far.

Kingdom of Shadow added (video will be up in 30 minutes)

for dunc its possible to get high res. i stacked them this ladder and it helped slightly. not sure if he still pierces or how much if he does, but with crafted items that have fire res on the base, then orbed allres and pul runes or perfect bloodstone allow to tank at least a few hits from assur. you can then summon minions and purify. might also help to use a wyrd ring which may have high cooldown, but since it hits 4 times it might be useful to activate ow for the purify (or perhaps it even uses a separate timer this patch), but i think with that strategy any char can do it
