3.18 Zombiemancer Baron Raise Zombie Necromancer Summoner Build Guide PoE Sentinel - PoE Vault

Zombiemancer Baron Raise Zombie Necromancer Summoner Build Guide (PoE Sentinel 3.18)

For example, recent balance changes mean that playing this build is no longer recommended. We'll leave it as a reference and it may come back in a future patch.

Raise Zombie's precious granite was considered the cornerstone of this build, but it was historically in a tricky space and more of a niche build than anything else. Minions as a whole were overhauled with the release of 3. 8 Blight League and quickly became Path of Exile's most popular archetype. But in this build most of the damage comes from Zombies, which is magnified by the plethora of other summons such as Animate Guardian and Summon Carrion Golem, as well as the requisite number of Raise Spectres.

The main benefit of playing the Summoner archetype is that you can trust your minions to do damage while you're not in the fight. Minions are very tanky and literally immune to damage, so you can send minions into the battlefield and do 100% of the damage. The result is a fairly favorable build that can clear any content with relative ease, and as a result, beginners are highly encouraged to familiarize themselves with all endgame content. This build is often used by even experienced players to clear the most difficult tasks due to its high damage and survivability characteristics.

It summons an entire army of minions up front, so you can focus on the right skills and placement when clearing cards. If you place minions with Convoke and keep all the buffs with Channeling Support while setting Cast, we'll be busy while the minions are killing everything.

As for increases, you can't do without a necromancer. It increases the gem value of all minions by two, making them much harder to kill and increasing losses significantly. In addition, it also increases the attack speed and resistance of lifted zombies. Finally, we advise you to make a choice. It's up to you to choose between Bone Barrier and Mistress of Sacrifice, but we'll explain the differences and pros and cons later in this guide.

Build Summary

Built this way, Necromancer Raises Zombies doesn't need much equipment to perform at its highest level. Aside from this, it doesn't have any difficult mechanics, so it's incredibly suitable for young players playing the build for the first time (or the first few). If you can get Baron, you're guaranteed a degree of it. If not, you'll have to rely on other minions to get to the endgame.

At the height of development, in 3. 9 Blight League, this build was pretty low-budget and downplayed the whole game. Players would launch some buyers and essentially "AFK" Blighted cards, or go for drinks while the minions were clearing Sirus' endgame. It's undeniable that this build, which can kill late-game bosses and late-game content without a player behind the computer, had to be nerfed. As expected, it took a big hit in 3. 10 Delirium. The main reason Baron was heavily injured is that it now requires 500 health instead of 300 to get a support zombie. This will cost within 3 zombies in the late game, so it will be ±20% damage. Additionally, other related Baron modifiers are no longer considered fixed stats and simply roll over. This actually means that the best Baron will be a bit harder to get.

Obviously, reducing damage by 20% for builds that skimp on the game like Zombiemancer wasn't enough. As a result, the precious Raise Zombie gem still received a big change, both in minion life and damage projects. The gem faded out to within 25% of damage and most of the minion life bar. Fortunately, even after these improvements, this build remained pretty playable and strong with decent gear. Apart from this, it can be minimized to the same value as before after the release of Update 3. 11 Harvest Expansion and the introduction of Cluster Jewels.

Pros & Cons

Pros

+ Very good for hardcore builds.

+ Very good for killing bosses due to its own damage uptime.

+ Has indescribable stamina thanks to Baron.

+ Simple and basic to use.

Cons

- Minion builds can be boring at times.

- This Summoner variant urgently needs special items.

- Some optimizations are urgently needed to overcome the most difficult content.

Playstyle, Mechanics & Strengths

As expected with most Summoner archetypes, you start by amassing an army of Summons that will assist you in combat and do much of the heavy lifting. The Original Baron is considered the cornerstone of this build, so you want to get as much power out of him as possible without compromising other stats. That said, it's very easy to achieve the highest life count with this build thanks to his flat life-adding abilities. Additionally, by using special original items (such as Geofri's Sanctuary and Shaper's Touch), you can add a surprising amount of Energy Shield for an even bigger layer of defense.

As a Necromancer, if you want to protect yourself even more, you can use your Glancing Blows sources as Ascension Nodes and Bone Sacrifice in combination with Mistress of Sacrifice. Since you can only have one Offering skill active at a time, you're forced to forgo the Flesh Offering skill, which significantly increases your zombie losses. The choice of Offering skill is entirely up to you and depends on whether you want to boost your defenses or be a bit more aggressive. Luckily, this only requires 5-10 skill points, and if you're swapping gems, for example, just replace them with spaces to try both options.

In addition to the possibility of limit blocks and bone offers, this build offers an incredibly high effective life offer. 6000 life and 4000 energy shield is not hard to achieve, and zombies can siphon life with Baron, and energy shields start to regenerate with Zealot's Oath, so you can replenish energy every day in most fights.

Though it may seem like it, Convocation still offers a fair amount of survivability. As a leader, use this skill when running through maps and meetings while placing minions, but you can also use it as a panic button when you're left alone for some reason. Minions tend to retreat at times, creating unpleasant baggage. For example, it's hard to use this skill to bring them back quickly.

Game-wise, just run around and cast Desecrate and Bone Offer or Flesh Offer as you choose. This will ensure that your chosen offering is available for daily use and will also ensure the functionality of all corpse-related mechanics that the Necromancer allocates for you.

Use Raise Specter, Summon Carrion Golem and Animate Guardian to further increase your damage and increase your army of Sumons who will protect you at all costs. Raise Specter is used to summon two Host Heads, Carnage Chieftain and Holder of Merveil. These are just useful Specters, tied to life support and allowing you to use your skills more frequently. At the same time, they give Zombies "Strength" and "Madness" and curse your enemies with "Vulnerability", further increasing Zombie damage.

Summon Carrion Golem simply deals very good physical damage to your minions. Since Zombies mainly deal physical damage, this is a pretty important buff and the damage scale is very large.

Animate Guard is the last detail of the puzzle and plays the role of lieutenant of your army. If he chooses certain items, he can beat you and the zombies, buff you and deal crits fairly. In addition, he blinds all enemies within his range of action. The rest of the objects I use for Animate Guardian are just focused on maintaining his life and protecting the objects you consume when you summon him.

As you can already tell, you're free to do whatever you want, except you have to constantly take bones and watch how your minion army destroys the game! This build is very laid back and recommended for players who like to play at a moderate pace and don't like to keep pressing a lot of buttons at the same time.

Passive Skill Tree, PoB, and Gem Links

You can see the optimized build path here. All builds I've released use a fork build path, which is supported and updated much more regularly than the original. The fork POB created by LocalIdentity can be found here.

If you're not comfortable working with a build path, there is a tree on the Path of Exile website as well. The POE website does not support cluster jewels and some specific unique jewels, so I highly recommend installing the build path for the optimal build.

For more information on the passive skill trees and links to gems, see the dedicated page.

Ascendancy, Bandits, and Pantheons

The "Climbing", "Thief", and "Pantheon Power" pages go into more detail on which choices you should make on these fronts.

Gear Summary / TL;DR

Much of this is explained in more detail on the "Clothing" page, but this short review will give you a general idea of ​​the clothing you'll need.

Leveling

We are going to give you a way to raise your value with RAISE Zombie's support, as we are trying to get a very close graduation certificate to your end game-mode. If you are looking for a way to increase the character value of a more appropriate card, we recommend the right control.

  • You can save time and speed up the process of getting values, including skilled players.
  • Definitely helps us to unify the characters to get a value. Our instructions for original topics to get values.
  • Answering almost all questions formed by a new player is definitely a guide for beginners who will help you on the right path.

To set this build as a build-zombie, you need a baron and 28 values ​​to reach it to uniform, or summoned sacred relics and smit mules from temples.

Getting to Brutus & Merveil

To start, make sorcesales in any league. If necessary, creating the Knights of Temple and quickly defeating Hill Rocks will result in achieving the Mad Frats Quest and smarter as a Hill Rock death. I want to get the merit of the sacred relics summoning quest to use zombies quickly. Witchers can only get this valuable sacred relics in Act 3. Save the summoned sacred relics and Sumi jewelry and return to your witcher, so remember.

First, you need to buy two cane from the merchant. Apart from this, you need to buy an explosion trap. Next, with the help of an explosive trap, Mad Flat must destroy the high lake on a dry peninsula.

After this, you can link them to Arcane Survival Support and ## and get your first QuickSilver Frusco-Frusco and Frus Bomb Bomb.#item:Onslaught-Support###. Basically, don't increase the degree of arcain surge support yet. One frost bomb and one explosion trap can destroy most packs.

Next, if you defeat the blutus in the set with a frost bomb, the support of lightning attribute damage will be added in exchange for the support of the arcane pike. The support of the arcane pike is related to the flame dash and can be obtained as the merit of defeating Brutus in the quest. This option is kept up to 12 and until Melwil is killed.

Changes at Level 12

If you decide not to collect the sacred relics after defeating Melwil, hold the necessary connections and money so that you can get the right association:

  1. Rough soul summoning
  2. Support for minions by Damine
  3. Support near the duel

Still, if you decide to arrest Templar Mule, you can apply the correct link to raise the zombies:

  1. Grow zombies
  2. Support for minions by Damine
  3. Support near the duel

In addition, he intends to attack Smit e-SUPPORT while touching the sacred relics. This gives you and your zombies a lon g-term damage caused by lightning and life maintenance aura.

By summoning Skitterbots, we can replenish our losses at 28 values. After that, we can continue this IRGE for zombies, as we were in sync with the 28th value.

Transition to The Baron

Make sure that you actually grow a bar and a juicy zombie, they should take excellent qualities from the characteristic minion-skill level. You can reduce rough ghosts, explosive traps, frost bombs, and as a result you will have a good link:

  1. Grow zombies
  2. Support for minions by Damine
  3. Supports minion speed
  4. Support for physiological damage to close combat (or ## item: support for melee splash).

In order to give a little sharpness while pumping zombie minions, you can add another interesting legal ability and sacred relics.

  1. Summoning the Holy Remed
  2. Supports damage from minions.
  3. Supports controlled destruction.

If you make a static attack and increase the duration, you can continue A-ATAMS for a while, activate the Summon Holy Relic, clean the pack, and protect the life of zombies.

  1. Static attack
  2. Supports extension of duration
  3. Support is faster attack
  1. Call Carrion Golem at 38 levels.

AUR A-PROJECT can provide a skitterbot that proud, applies meat and stone, and understands the sovereign wheels.

Leveling Trees

Here is a flower option and passive skill tree that will definitely help you in the tuning process. If you are not addicted to apply the architectural road, you can use this passive skill tree.

Useful Leveling Unique Items

When creating a new character, there are some items that make level up smoother. Tabula Rasa can learn skills by 6 links using a specific support gem. Wanderlust is more efficient because the movement speed is so high.

If you are a newcomer (or if this is the first character in the league), keep in mind that it is very difficult to get these items. These items are rare drops that can only be obtained by collecting currency, so don't focus on them, and find items that match the priority of the affixes listed in the equipment section.

FAQ

Why Would Zombies be Chosen over Spectres?

Since zombies hit the Delirium League, spectators have been growing. Both have similar results in terms of damage and play style, but I think zombies are easier to equip. A zombie can reach the end of the game with an average budget, and you can get the highest content on that budget. On the other hand, spectors are inexpensive, but at the highest level of equipment, it is quite expensive. As a result, it feels completely different between playing as Zombiemancer and playing as a Spectre Summoner, and in games like Path of EXILE, the variety is a king!

Reaching 1000 Strength Seems Hard, at What Level Should this be Achieved?

There will be no problem from level 70 to 75. Of course, depending on the level of equipment, first of all, you have to give up the best nodes to increase power. It is very important to reach Power 1000, and equipment/ passive should be given priority.

Conclusion

Our Necromancer Zombie Manser is a fresh an d-friendly character similar to a traditional summoner. Your minion forces will trap, defend, and set for you. Meanwhile, they start fighting your opponent and you will support them by aura, offerings, and strengthening. This construction can handle all the contents of this game very well, and is mostly recommended for those who want to learn games. Also, for those who prefer the last 5 % optimization, the highest gear level is quite desperate.

It has a very strong ability as a starting competition, but there is no need to use this game. For example, it will not work unless it is a "baron"!
