Barbarian, The Lazy Conqueror

By Pain

Heja, boys and girls, i'm Maks and big fat fun of summoners in every game :mrgreen: I noticed there is a low amount of my sumbrothers on server so i decided to get rid of this! A points of this miniguide are making fun, untwinked and not meta character + popularization of summoners ofc. Now we start a new era of mad drugged barbarians leading their army to conquest all.
Actually, this build could be full guide but it's not bcoz of two reasons:
1. I never do ubers( i dont mean common uberlevels like Duncraig here). And here wont be uber section.
2. Just a little can be said about early game: it's hard/slow so better to level as melee.
Thus, i'll be short here :twisted: But before you start to waste your time reading this guide i must warn you:
1. It's act5 mercenary based build, 70% of damage - ur merc, 30% - ur summons. You're just afk bag of meat. :lol: It's not viable without act5 merc. (well, it is but ultra slow and unsafe)
2. Casters cast spell. Warriors swing their weapons. Summoners summon minions. And minions are not one-time cast. Deal with it.




Pros:

  • Cheap as fuck. You dont need all this su's and hard charms to be viable. Crafted gear is ur bro. And almost every useful su for you is ~10-30 tg.
  • Fun to play. (they say summoners are boring but not this version and not for me :evil: )
  • You dont care about sprite limit.
  • Ez season starter, can farm tons of skulls/toraja runes/items for ur future builds ( or smth you play for)
  • Flexible. He can farm Sewers/TA/Toraja/Dunc/Triune/Fauzt with appropriate investments ofc.(it's more charms then items btw, especially void)
  • Requires some skill switching/fast fingers to keep merc and Veil King alive sometimes. (not a big plus probably)

Cons:

  • Not clearspeed meta. Your clearspeed is average and mostly depends on merc.
  • Life and def is average also, sometimes you can get screwed after Spirit Walk (SW) if you havent enuff defense due to unknown for me reason bcoz mobs just start to attack you instead of summons or merc. (if smbd knows wtf is this please clarify in comments)
  • You have to avoid some mobs and missiles/spells to survive with SW so gameplay can be a bit clunky and hard in first time


Areas you will farm:

1. Toraja. Ez life, just spirit walk there and dont dive too much. See my video below.
2. Unreformed Land. Ez life also. Prepare pots, resummon Veil King when he's on yellow life and keep merc alive. See my video below.
3. Tran Athulua and K3K. All builds can farm this so no special here, just spirit walk to avoid missiles and stun mobs. See video of Ta run also.
4. Duncraig. Average, better to do it with void charm, sometimes mobs just attack and shred you after SW, you cant kill them fast enough, so keep SWing around and let ur merc do the job.
5. Triune. Same garbage as Dunc, i highly recommend to get void charm and better gear before you start this, bcoz you cant oneshot spires after SW and jitan's 10 sec cd blink will make you mad.
6. Fauzt. Not the best place for summoners but definitely viable for you, tho it'll be slow and hard. Void charm helps here a lot. You dont need any runes here anyway, unless you'll trade them or hunting for su jewelry. Probably i'll make a vid later when could buy void charm and some better gear.
7. Yshari. Never attempted yet, i dont see any reason to do it but ask me if you want, i'll test.

Core of the build:

Here i will explain why we use act5 merc and Protector Spirits. The core of all build is your merc bcoz he does a lot more damage than summons and he can proc dirty things :twisted: Protector Spirit Bloodlust gives to party free 639% spell damage/310 elem damage on 60 lvl with 31 pts invested and garbage charms.

and you'll have ez 950+% spell dmg for procs of your merc. He easily can attack 2 times per second with tons of procs so just imagine this beef :x
I tried Defender Spirits and wasnt impressed by them, they're too sad :\



Stats:


All goes into STR if you wanna superbuff your army or 500 str/500 vit for moar fat. I go to full STR build.

My Stats at this moment

Ok, lets talk about our skills.

Image Thunder Slam. Your perf crowd control 1-pointer. Just use it when needed.
Image Protector Spirit. Your main spirit, meatshield and buff machine. Smax this ofc.
Image Greater Manifestation. Nice passive for your spirits, smax this or put here all rest points after Bear Stance.
Image Spirit Walk. Classic 1-pointer. Your kind of teleport, it will teleports you and your party to monster with some timer + gains you needed radius of stance to buff all party. No need more 1 pt here bcoz timer will be nullified anyway.
Image Bear Stance. Your main stance. Provides crucial bonus to act5 merc. Free 50% DR, good defense and damage are perfect stats for summons and such merc with high life regen. They almost wont die from physical attacks. Smax this.

► Show Spoiler


Image Ancient Blood. Overall nice passive, you can put any amount pts here, i put up to +5 to all skill levels. Nuff said.
Image Spirit guide. 1-pointer. You dont need damage and def bonuses from this, much better to smax Bear Stance for you+party.
Image Mountain King. 1-pointer, stats are always nice thing to have :bounce:
Image Immortal. Your Ennead Skill. Very good passive for you bcoz you almost always dont move but no need to put more 1 pts here. Your def is ok without this. Tho you can try to smax this if you love Fauzt runs.
Image Thundergod. Your Black Road Skill. 1 point is enuff, plus stun nova every 15 seconds is good.
Image Shamanic Trance. Your Uber Skill. Adds good life/damage bonus to ALL your summons(tho there is no such info in description). This means your Veil King is buffed too. That's why i recommend to use him. I tested a lot and found you dont need more than 25 spirits, so put here 10-14 points. (10 if you have

Use any shrines to craft but better to use Ornate/Fascinating ofc. MO up to 350 ED, get 60 IAS for 2 attacks per second, rest goes into - enemy lightning/fire resists. Socket with Jahs. Also i found that CTC Punisher Barrage is very useful in Toraja and UL even without -enemy pois resistance.

First is much better ofc bcoz proc is boosted by bloodlust. MO with - enemy lightning/fire resists and def until 350 ED.


Amulet:
Rare with 3-5 to all skills+ - enemy lightning/fire res+CTC Hymn or Doom

MO with - enemy lightning/fire resists.

So ideally your merc have to have -100 efr and -100 elr at the end, other space can be used for more defense or more spell damage on items. Hel runes are for Balefire proc of course. With this setup and ez/mid charms you should farm Toraja/Sewers/TA without problems 8-)
But remember your merc have two weak places in this setup:
1. Helm
2. Body
Try to replace them before all other gear, below here i'll show End Game Setups.

Blade of the Jitan


Overall good stats but we primarily use it bcoz of bonus to Bloodlust damage. Totems are not needed, their buff is for elemental dmg and ultra low.

Looks like a fun farming build ;)

just reading through and got to the Cons section.
This is my understanding of tele with minion skills:
If you move directly after spirit walking all the mobs will target you. If you stand still for a second after jumping and let your summons move first you won't be targeted by all mobs. It's key thing for totem necros and jumping on minion skill.

This is my understanding of tele with minion skills:
If you move directly after spirit walking all the mobs will target you. If you stand still for a second after jumping and let your summons move first you won't be targeted by all mobs. It's key thing for totem necros and jumping on minion skill.



I know this and this is not thing i talked about. I mean you can be hitlocked instantly after teleporting into pack without any actions from ur side.

nice guide dude. I like builds that are fun to farm with but are not necessarily meant for uber charm gathering. Enjoyed the vids you had too! Would like to see a dunc run even if it's not a perfect one :)

For whatever reason I always use act2 mercs but maybe i will switch to act5 now

The thing about teleport is that when you teleport, it appears as everyone travels together, but the game reads it as you going first and minions following, so any Melee mob will immediately target you first. Ranged monsters will do the same but once your minions move, they go to the "top of the stack" and will take ranged hits for you.

so the difference is ranged vs. melee.. that makes sense thanks for the explanation. So bard tele isn't as good cause it's on an enemy and not your minion

Barb SW is a downside to this mechanic, but I think that's why his barb uses bear stance and has high defense/DR.
