PoE Animate Weapon, Physical builds

That's my league starter, took me a while to figure out and to build (i'm not a minion player) I don't like minions builds because they are button heavy, so i tried to build this one to be minimal (1 main + 2 utility) So far it's doing some pretty good damage, and there is not much to press 1. right click for your AW 2. (occasionally) the big guardian RF 3. (on bosses) arcanist brand for mark + offering (pob doesn't calculate AG of Smithing, i expect total DPS to be at least 1.5x) PoB (target): PoB (current):

After generating enough currency with my first character, I got around to making this monstrosity, which is really what I returned to POE this league for: I really wanted to go all out and see how much synergy I could squeeze from these new spectres, so my current build takes inspiration from Ghazzy's zoomancer and just adds more stuff to the screen. Currently, it runs the AW of ranged arms, vaal skeles, zombies of slamming, animated guardian of smite, a carrion golem + 3 hordling carrion golems. Now, I'm sure poison or cold

Been a while since I played AW, kind of excited for a Vaal AW skill. Threw together a quick build: Edited United for the mod changes. I took the Mana Mastery node for Clarity reservation, but added the new mana efficiency res to configs in its place. Any thoughts?

I'm going to make a bet that patch notes will give us "Minions have +% chance to poison on hit" as an added mod to the pool for the new base types. We would use the free weapon to auto-cast Bladefall for Lingering Blades. Our Animated Weapons have 75/75 block, 83% all res, and max chaos res with ~24k life. Because they won't die, 2.5 blades every 8 seconds is plenty to sustain the minions and even if not we have increased duration nodes right where we're pathing. We're using Eldritch Battery for the Divine Blessing option (Haste, which lasts 30+ seconds btw

Wanted to share my masterpiece.

I know, i know, Reaper is trash but hear me out :) Animate weapons play utility role (applying stuff like withered), and add much needed clear speed to Reaper. Right now im breaking in red maps and sailing is pretty smooth i'd say. When i added cruelty and soem other stuff to PoB i was around 900k dps (which is not precise of course). Im ready to throw some parts of it out but not sure which (probably triple offering idea) and i I would like to free all those travel points EB, but i'm not sure how to resolve mana issues, so if you ahve any advice on this - i would be grateful!

Following up on this sucker with some cleaned up build and some modifications thanks to fellow builders. Part 1 here : Updates: Swapped build to necro to clean up the build. 4 points left over to move into a cluster or reservation nodes. Guardian might be better for this to be honest to scale Envy aura.

So I've really been enjoying summoner play this league with srs and having a blast swapping spectres. Could you make a spectre/zombie/ whatever else without those cheesey herald shenanigans? Including holy relic as well, very much the same build as herald. I feel like the witch class is just slightly too good to warrant it. My last build being a occultist spectre srs setup. Also I'd be in SSF HC for this, trying to avoid hybrid or LL setups, since I just played a CI turned into LL witch my last build very rough draft just thrown together in a minute Without
