ZIZ - SRS and Animate Weapon leaguestarters

DISCLAIMER: THIS BUILD IS MAINLY INTENDED AS A LEVELING/FARMING BUILD FOR POISON ANIMATE WEAPON. AN ENDGAME VERSION WAS INCLUDED HOWEVER IN CASE YOU LIKE THE PLAYSTYLE A LOT. > PLAYSTYLE < While mapping you shield charge around summoning raging spirits that'll home in on enemies and attack them. Try to keep your Divine Blessing - Haste up so both you and your minions move faster. For big bosses like Eater of Worlds you'll have to swap your Melee Splash gem with Multistrike. Then it's pretty much a matter of keeping Divine Blessing and Offering up(by casting Desecrate) and summoning enough SRS to stay at the cap of 20. > LEVELING < This leveling guide focusses on leveling using minions, you could probably technically level faster using spells, but leveling a minion build as spells is kinda boring. We level using SRS with Minion Instability + Zombies. After a while we transition out of Minion Instability and go hit-based SRS. As of writing this guide we don't know what the exact rolls will be on minion leveling gear, so you'll have to use your best judgement on what to get on those items. > FAQ < My Dexterity is too low! When your Dexterity is too low don't be afraid to stop leveling your Haste and Desecrate gems. Levels on those gems are not super important(still nice to have on Haste). My damage is low! This build gets a lot of its damage from abyss jewels, the most important roll on your abyss jewels is the "Minions deal 15-20% increased Damage if you've used a Minion Skill Recently" mod. If your damage is still low after fixing your abyss jewels see if you can try to get some Awakened Gems, these really help on this build. How do I use Bone Armour? Ideally, if you're a god gamer, you press Bone Armour when you expect incoming damage. If you want to you can bind Bone Armour to left click though, maybe Ben_ will be mad at you if you do, but what he doesn't know can't hurt you ;) I want to push this build even further, how can I do that? The most straight forward path of improving this build is using the Fleshcrafter unique, this means you can drop Fire Pen and Exposure, and replace Flammability with Punishment and scale with any ele damage. You might even be able to go crit. Fleshcrafter is quite rare though and you'll give up a lot of defenses for it.
