Dr. Strangebuff - Summoner Nec

[abougadaba64]

Quick question, when popping up totems, let's say that I popped 4 +dmg totems, do the minions get 4X the dmg? Or do they only benefit 1X?

This might've been asked and answered somewhere by someone already, sorry if this is a repeated question!

[HechtHeftig]

They only add the bonus once. That's why it's better to use frostclaw totems as well for the free spots.

Very best! Thank you!

I would like to know my minions health but forgot where to check to calculate.


Edit: I kind of want to put my 1 and only extra remaining point into graveyard just for the hell of it and to have it. Is it crucial to put ALL remaining points into frostclaw? I mean it's just 1 point.

Survivability isn't much of an issue, Just make sure to summon skeletal flayers in a circle around you, so necrobots will focus them istead of you, so you won't be hit by that many projectiles. Summoning them behind necrobots is the best you can do because the majority of your minions won't be hit that way.. Then use Bane to get rid of necrobots' physical immunty to kill them faster. You shouldn't encounter a problem that can't be solved with a potion that way.

Can you please show what your merc uses?

tbh. My merc gear is rather shit.

I would like to know my minions health but forgot where to check to calculate.


Edit: I kind of want to put my 1 and only extra remaining point into graveyard just for the hell of it and to have it. Is it crucial to put ALL remaining points into frostclaw? I mean it's just 1 point.

https://forum.median-xl.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5540

here you can calculate the minion life.

I tried out Graveyard. But for this build it simply isn't good for several reasons:
1: You're not close to the enemies. Your minions keep the distance between you and the enemies up so it takes lots of time for the punisher to reach the enemy.
2: It doesn't have much AoE. With 1 point you can hit only 1 enemy. You'd need 8 base points to make a difference and even that is shit due to point 1
3: Your merc kills enemies so easily that you simply don't need it.
4: Even your rampagors of which you should have lots, do more poison damage in a shorter time than a 1 point Graveyard.

I usually keep my Frostclaw totems at 1 k damage at least. Simply because that is needed to kill bosses within a few seconds. If you have less, Bosses like Belial will use that time to kill you. I usually put 10 points into it to reach that value, taking some points from howling totem (it's perfectly fine with 49% CB which equals 23 base points spend) and Death Ward (10 points in here are good enough to get 20% avoid and lots of defense). Maybe you lack some skill points from quests and skill signets? Could you check that?

Concerning your staff: Try to farm the Stony tomb in Terror. There are lots of rare drops and even marrow staffs should drop relatively frequently there. But beware of randomly spawning Quov Tsin's. If you see a white/red/yellow/blue beam and if your notice your summons suddenly die, exit the game.

is crap. The only part that improves you is the -enemy cold resist. But that's not desperately needed as frostclaw totem is really good without it already. It's fine with some cold spell damage and -enemy cold resist from rings/amulet.

Slavemaster

is crap imho, too. You only get +2 skills which is weak for a weapon slot. And you don't get any +minion life. Even a

is better in any case than those 2 items. You have more MO space, more minion life in general and more importantly, your skills get to a higher level, which is the most needed stat on items as it both increases the physical and the elemental damage output of your merc and thus your clearspeed. And it also increases the life and damage of your summons, which is a big plus.
Yes, Slavemaster does increas your minion count but at this point of the game it's
quality > quantity.

How much life do your rampagors have at this point?

I didn't really bother with a good weapon or a good shield since I can just go and get a ghal rune easily. Just used the temps that I had. I'll get the ghal when I get to a2 destruction. I do have a ton of other temps but they all require like 400+ dex and I didn't want to put all those points in. I have

I looked at that link to calc minion life. Maybe you can help me more with this? I don't know what a .ods is or how to open it.

Do you think a fire + ewd based a1 merc would be good? Was thinking of something a little like this. These are what I have and probably are not the best or even good.
