First time doing T3 Xesht, go easy on me lol: https://youtu.be/pHK9NMCAi44

PoB: https://pobb.in/8yrz9usjguaM I'm not sure why PoB shows numbers so low, but the in-game stats tab shows companion dealing 78k dps, and Death From Above doing 46k dps.

Hi all, just wanted to share what I've been working on. I've really wanted to make companions work since 0.2, taming a beast just brought me back to the days where I'd play WoW all the time and I wanted to recreate a melee hunter feeling build, where you fight with your pet. You're the minion in this build, follow your ant and it'll take care of you. Use Elemental Sundering when clearing, use Wild Strikes on single target or to proc electrocute on scary packs in high deli. I don't get a ton of time to play but I've cleared all the tier 1 pinnacle bosses without issue, given more time to play I don't see why it wouldn't be able to do higher tiers.

My PoB is ripped directly from my character, and tried to configure it to be realistic in a typical mapping setup. There's a lot of things you can change about the build, depending on how many buttons you want to press. You can 100% drop Unleash Hell for deflection from armour or immobilisation buildup, but I really like having it for insta clearing abyss and expedition big bombs, and proccing electrocute on tougher bosses.

A few things of note

Pet mods: Always shocks. Get that with the shocks aoe support, this is the only mandatory mod. After that, it's a mix of whatever you prefer / want to settle for. Hasted, haste aura, extra x damage, crits, life regen, extra life are all good. I settled for shocks, haste aura, extra damage as chaos, and shroud walker but I'd really like crits.

Spear: Get as high phys rolls as possible. 25% onslaught on kill was a waste of money, its not consistent outside of expedition, abyss, ritual, anything where you're in one spot for a little bit. The attack speed mod isn't great either, drop cold flat, get % companion damage, get attack speed for self and an attribute.

Sceptre: Just make sure it's a Malice sceptre, your companion does a lot of crit damage, it also boosts Death From Above a lot. The spirit mod on it isn't very important, for budget just try and grab levels, % damage and attack speed.

Megalomaniac: Mine was 1 div, just get Gigantic Following or Relentless Fallen, annoint the other.

There's a lot to iterate on honestly, I am toying with using Unearth for more clear, but left it out since I haven't tested it much. Let me know if you have any questions or ideas. Cheers.
