=== CAP RES & DEX & INT WITH GEAR ===
Spectres: Use two Carnage Chieftains from act 2 until you get Arena master (ask in /global 6666 for Arena master)
Early league start 3 spectre limit
1. 2x Carnage Chieftain (act2 in "The old fields") /Get a forest warrior as soon as possible
2. Arena master (Drox map)
Note: Currently a normal Forest warrior corpse says that it does not provide "Nearby allies have Onslaught" but it actually does, so you dont need a perfect to gain a permanent onslaught buff for your minions.
Finished Early setup 4 spectre limit
1. Carnage Chieftain (act2 in "The old fields")
2. Perfect Forest warrior (Damage)
3. Perfect guardian turtle (Phys Defense)
4. Arena master (Drox map)
Over cap your resistances with +15% to negate elemental exposure.
Minion skill GEM LEVEL is much more important than QUALITY: 21/0 >>>> 20/20 Spectres/dps golems/zombies/phantasm/AG
You want one ghastly eye jewel with taunt on hit and one with Minions Leech
You want "minions have a chance to poison on hit" on all your ghastly eye jewels to reach 100% chance to poison with minions. This is a massive damage increase.
Dont use AG until total combined gem level for AG is at least lvl 15, "total combined gem level" = +1 skills from wand/helmet/shield
If you start mapping with bought or traded low level(1) minion gems you will have a very bad time.
Swap to Solaris pantheon if you are going to fight end-game bosses that are mostly alone (Shaper/Eater/Exarch/Sirus/Uber elder/Maven)
!T17 MAPS! Skip the abomination map boss until you have at least medium budget setup. (They can destroy your permanent minions and AG in seconds if you are unlucky)
Convocate on top of tanky rares / bosses to focus dmg and to move your minions away from uber attacks that do a lot of damage. (So dont use convocate with automation / trigger / cast when damage taken)
Do note level up desecrate or stormblast mines.
LOW BUDGET NOTE
Testudo is a very cheap anoint you can get early for high attack block chance, block recovery and 30 life each time you block an attack.
You want to anoint Death attunemnent later when you can afford to get a Silver oil.
Helmet implicit can be "minions have increased maximum life" instead of despair curse effect if you want tankier minions or +1 maximum lightning resistance.
For low budget AG body armour and boots use either Zahndethus + wake
Early 6L Covenant can do Uber Atziri/eater/cortex(depends on mods) if you play well and Uber Sirus/exarch/uber uber Elder/Shaper if you play very well (Get medium budget before doing uber Maven)
Difficulty Ubers: Atziri<<<<Cortex(Depends on mods)<Eater<<Exarch<Sirus<<Elder=Shaper<Maven
Uber shaper+elder+Exarch+Sirus can wipe your minions at the Early game setup. (Make sure AG gem is lvl 21 before doing ubers)
Vs Uber Sirus respec into protection mastery to get corrupted blood immunity.
MEDIUM BUDGET NOTE
Anoint Golem Commander
Your Gravebind could can corrupted with Enfeeble instead of temporal chains for less damage taken.
Finished Mid setup 4 spectre limit
1. Carnage Cheiftan (act2 in "The old fields")
2. Perfect Forest warrior (Damage)
3. Perfect guardian turtle (Phys Defense)
4. Perfect Warlord (Replace the small cluster AFTER you have this spectre)
LATE BUDGET NOTE
Finished Late setup 4 spectre limit
1. Perfect forest warrior
2. Perfect Guardian turtle
3. Perfect Warlord
4. Perfect Forest Tiger OR Carnage Chieftain
Covenant corruptions
Best one is +2 socketed minion gems which you do not want to skip.
Second corruption can be any of the following:
1. +1 socketed gems (Offensive)
2. +1 maximum resistances (Defensive)
3. 50% reduced crit damage taken (Defensive) (Skip this if your AG has Garb)
4. Any dmg taken reduction mod Cold/light/chaos/fire (Defensive)
5. 4-6% increased maximum life (Defensive)
