TIPS AND TRICKS

Minion levels are the most important thing in a minion build, it adds a lot of survivability and damage.

You can use light radius energy shield mastery for quality of life if you prefer to play maps with dark layout.

Raise Zombie of Slamming is better after level 28-30 Zombies. Your build needs to be setup well for them to survive high juiced maps.

You need 1000 strength for leech to work.

DO NOT USE MONTREGUL WITH BRUTALITY, use ruthless instead. It disables Mon'tregul explosions.

You can (should) use brutality with a +2 wand.

I recommend using Perfect Warlord if you can tolerate his sounds as it greatly increases your survivability.

Use absolution until you realize zombies are clearing enough that you don't need to use absolution anymore. Get an animate guardian as soon as you can. It provides decent damage to everyone. Make sure your ag gem is at least ~18 level, link it with meat shield while starting out. Updated the pob for animate guardian, check it in the items section. Try to fix your resistances and switch purity of elements to determination. If the damage is fine but not tanky enough, keep purity for a while and switch haste-determination instead. Get a 5 link chest. You can use geofri before switching to ghostwrithe. I tend to get +2 minion corrupted geofri and 5 link it with tainted orbs. Most of the time its cheaper. You can also use a decent rare chest with right colors until geofri. While hitting the red maps, start to collect medium cluster jewels. See the gear progression video for alternative cheaper versions. If red maps are hard, keep farming low yellow maps until you have decent gear and open the atlas in the meantime. Keep using Sacrifice and Righteous Army notables until you think your minions are tanky enough. Usually until red maps, then deallocate. Block chance for minions is mandatory for high juiced maps, delve or simulacrum. Use either impossible escape-decay ward or bone offering Medium cluster's are very important. Get at least four with dread march-(renewal or feasting fiends/hulking corpses) Minion leech is another good form of defence for your children Make sure to get a minion taunt jewel. Use convocation often, make it a habit Use delve setup in the pob for your animate guardian. Asenath has great defensive aspects and it is arguably the best explode option. (3% guaranteed explosions vs ~30% chance of 10%.) Blind from Asenath's, sand stance and garb of the ephemeral provides a great solution to critical strikes.

Progression after hitting the maps:

Fix resistances and get 1k str. 10-15c should be enough for all. Use purity of elements for a while. Get two large cluster jewels with at least +3 attribute (can be found for 1c each): https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Phrecia/pzyrprvH0 Get animate guardian, link it with meat shield. Make sure at least level 17-18 5 link chest, rare is fine Drop purity of elements and get determination Get tempest shield, drop precision and herald of purity Get taunt ghastly jewel with str Get Perfect forest warrior (2 carnage, 1 PFW, 1 Host) Get burn flask, bleed flask, granite flask before the switch. Get 3-4 medium cluster jewels, very important for t10+ (Dread march + Feasting Fiends (or renewal) Upgrade wand, get +1 minion/+1 all spell. Maata is a good alternative. Enchant flasks Switch to the endgame version.

Endgame upgrades

start with maata +2 +2 asenath + windscream 6 link lvl 20/20 zombie lvl 3 empower dread march/renewal x 4 baron +4 amulet/anoint +2 wand Watcher's eye (phasing/haste is a great quality of life.) 21/20 Zombie, Spectre, Animate Guardian. Get awakened gems for minions. Use wild brambleback to level up the awakened gems. empower 4 better belt and rings grand spectrums 21/20 purity trinity with +2 shapers touch (you don't need 21 if you have +1 all spell wand)

Pantheons: Use Brine King / Ralakesh If you have stun threshold mastery (energy shield) use lunaris for better ms/phys reduction.
