Dr. Strangebuff - Summoner Nec

[HechtHeftig]

TBH I never found the whole set. I'd have to look at it to determine how good the set is as a whole.

Edit: just looked at it. The stats in total aren't too shabby. You get up to 600% minion life and 325% minion damage. You even get +8 skills from the set and wand +up to +4 skills from shield when using a wand and a crafted necromancer Shield so +12 in total from weapon slot.

However you're missing out on +max minions. That's why it's rather bad. More minions means better survivability and better damage output against Bosses.

At least try to get a ghal rune for +20 max minions. That's a bonus that's fundamentally important.

you mean ghal rune in necro stave Santa Compana?? and not use wand /full set? or does ghal in something else what you were talking about?

Yes exactly. The full set may have nice bonuses but the +20 max minions from santa compana are too important.

yeah that seemed really kick ass the santa compana staff so if i cant get gotia or get all of lazerus set use 3 iof the 4 pieces and the ghal staff instead of the set wand btw thanks know your sitting exams.. i remember doing my med boards and defending my Dlitts would be great to see strats for the optional ubers etc as you have time and figure them out some updated ones

and sopecifc question howling and death and frost is 3 of 4 totems do you recommend stormeye or fireheart for the 4th and a alternate damage type?? any preference of obne over the othwer? or worth putting 1 pioint in stormeye and 1 point in fireheart and let skill bonuses do the rest just to have an alternate damage type and 4th totem?

Stormeye totem is completely useless. Fireheart totem isn't bad but it lacks damage if you leave it with 1 point. Best ist to use 1 howling totem 1 deathfury totem and use frostclaw totems to fill the last slots.

Did minion life jewels get decreased? I've never crafted anything over 6% life when before I sworn I had a 18%

[HechtHeftig]

Didn't see one either but I haven't crafted many jewels yet.

6% is the bonus from the Shrine, anything more is random bonus

Does my mf work if a minion gets the kill? Is mf on summoner useless?

A little down that page there's the answer: minions benefit from your mf. However, your merc benefits from both your mf and his own mf. So if you want a high amount of mf, give your merc mf gear as well.
