Summoner leveling idea: Spellslinger absolution with herald of purity.

Quick Summary 4.5Mil Sirus DMG on a 5L (actually more but I kept shock minimum, its more like 25%) Over 6Mil Sirus Damage in 6L (avg. More with higher shock and chilled ground maintain) Tabula can take you to Sirus with 2.6Mil Dmg at Level 80ish. Pros (aka Why not Skele Mages?) Convocate works on this skill, unlike skele mages which are more like totems. You summon the sentinels and you have ~22 seconds before they expire. Convocate on left click isn't actually required but.. why not. No Uniques required before build works. Level with it all the way from 12. You do need to go to library though for phys to lightning support. Visual Clarity Other Pros SSF/League Start. Can clear campaign with a 4 Link. Can actually clear up to T11 maps if you add a +1 Wand. Been there, done that. Woke gems not required, in case Woke gems are giga-rare in 3.17 Cons Not quite the same aoe coverage of skele mages Requires you to hit the boss to summon sentinels, and occasionally bad RNG will mean you're standing there not summoning. If the fight lets you take the sentinels in with you pre-summoned, then do that. Do not use a worm flask, the zombies etc will kill before you can debuff. Not worth Bandits: Murder all Pantheons: Brine King for cannot be frozen/stun lock. Lunaris for projectile heavy scenarios. Abbarath/Yugul/Shakari as required. Notes: Not a speed mapper (probably) Small Ramp up time on boss, depends on RNG. Won't be an issue. Absolution doesn't care how a mob dies, just that you hit it with the spell in the last 1.2 seconds. Convocate works unlike skeles. Crafting: Minion Mediums: use under iLvl68. I rolled 2 with 5 chaos orbs. 'nuf said. Reservation Cluster: This is easy to craft. Use a iLvl 50 or lower. Alt roll 25% effect (11 Avg). Regal either Zealotry or Determination (11 Avg). or just chaos spam it. 36 chaos avg apparently :) Ghastly jewel crafting: Alt roll the minion dmg suffix (50 avg), Regal the life (55 avg to hit T2). Alternatively if you hit 2 flat dmg rolls totalling approx 25-36 dmg, that will work. https://pastebin.com/FqHrUDhT
