Passive Skill Tree, PoB, and Gem Links

You can find an optimized Path of Building here. Every build I release will use the community fork of Path of Building. You can find PoB’s Fork, by LocalIdentity, here.

If you are not comfortable with Path of Building, PoePlanner’s website offers you a non-PoB alternative to import the code from the above link. it is highly recommended you install Path of Building to follow builds most optimally.

More information about the Gear can be found on our dedicated page.

Auras

These are the three auras you’ll be running which wont have to be linked to a Generosity Support Generosity Support.

  1. Determination Determination
  2. Pride Pride
  3. Summon Skitterbots Summon Skitterbots

Additionally, you’ll be linking the following Auras to a (Awakened) Generosity Support Generosity Support. These might not be possible to run before obtaining your Replica Dragonfang's Flight Replica Dragonfang's Flight.

  2. Dread Banner Dread Banner
  3. Awakened Generosity Support Awakened Generosity Support

Support Minions Setup (in a +2 Helmet)

Do note: Running this setup without the Helmet is dangerous as it makes your Animate Guardian a lot more tanky! Make sure you keep as many Zombies alive if you can through convocation as you wont have Mana to recast them and they give a ton of Damage to your Golems.

  1. Animate Guardian Animate Guardian
  2. Raise Zombie Raise Zombie
  3. Raise Spectre Raise Spectre
  4. Meat Shield Support Meat Shield Support

Buffs / Control / Debuffs

Given the changes to Cast When Damage Taken, I assume you’ll have to bite the bullet and manually keep up the Flesh Offering buff & Chill with Bladefall. If you are actually the laziest person in the world, you could read the section in the bottom on how to fix this potentially. Lastly, the Convocation Convocation is used to control your golems a bit better when needed.

  1. Flesh Offering Flesh Offering (Level 20)
  2. Desecrate Desecrate
  3. Bladefall Bladefall (Preference – Very minor but it can chill enemies)
  4. Convocation Convocation

Excess Golems

Since you’re only running 4 or 5 Offensive Carrion Golems, with the right gearset, that leaves you with 1 or 2 support golems. Summon Stone Golem Summon Stone Golem and Summon Chaos Golem Summon Chaos Golem offer a tremendous amount of Physical Damage Reduction & Life Regeneration. On top of them we’re going to make them Maim the enemy and offer Feeding Frenzy to your Carrion Golems. If you feel safe without the Life Regen, you can potentially drop the Stone Golem, in that case, you have an extra Carrion to do damage. Socket these in a Clayshaper to make sure you have your Stone Golem supported by them.

  1. Summon Chaos Golem Summon Chaos Golem
  2. Maim Support Maim Support
  3. Feeding Frenzy Support Feeding Frenzy Support

Curse Setup in Profane Proxy Profane Proxy

  1. Vulnerability Vulnerability

Mobility

I think Flame Dash still is the best movement skill out there. You can opt into other movement skills as you wish, such as Dash Dash or Frostblink Frostblink.

  1. Flame Dash Flame Dash
