Zombie Necromancer - 3.14 League Start Abridged Guide | Path of Exile: Ultimatum

Included are multiple passive tree setups for levels 90 and 100, gem setups, and all rare and unique gear choices. NOTES: - Rare gear is a guideline, not a rule. It shows the minimum recommended affixes at average rolls but feel free to mix and match the resists - Getting chaos resist is a good idea but can dramatically increase the cost of the item - Quality is only on gems that need it - Gem level is important; some gems do not require leveling - Try and replace any supports with Awakened variants when you can - Vaal Summon Skeletons is optional ========== SPECTRE SETUP =================================================== The following 3 spectres are used for providing extra DPS to your zombies: - Merveil's Retainer casts the Vulnerability curse on enemies - Can be found in Coves or Reef maps - Carnage Chieftain gives the whole party Frenzy Charges - Can be found in The Old Fields (Act 2) - Host Chieftain gives the whole party Power Charges - Can be found in The Riverways or The Southern Forest (Act 6), or in The Ashen Fields (Act 7) ========== ANIMATED GUARDIAN SETUP ========================================= Animated Guardian can provide a wide range of buffs, and because you sacrifice the items for the minion these range from budget to expensive. HELM: Leer Cast is a cheap and stock standard option that increases damage of nearby allies CHEST: Belly of the Beast increases life significantly. Gruthkul's Pelt is a stronger but costlier option GLOVES: Meginord's Vise grant life regen once you have 1000 strength. Southbound are fine until then BOOTS: Victario's Flight are the stock standard option, granting movement speed to you and your minions.\ WEAPON: Several options here. - Sign of the Sin Eater takes elemental ailments instead of you but requires the Guardian to be very tanky to survive them - Dying Breath is a cheap option that increases damage of nearby allies - Kingmaker is the BIS but expensive option that grants nearby allies Culling Strike, Fortify, and Crit Strike Multiplier ============================================================================ If you're stuck don't be afraid to pop into one of my streams; I'm always willing to lend a hand. Have fun! ~ Mr. Tastix - https://twitch.tv/rtastix
