PoE League Starter, Minion builds with custom stat filters

This is my league starter Necro build for Affliction. I've been playing pretty much exclusively minion builds since Delve league. I've put together successfully, almost every SRS variation out there (I'm sure there's more variations that I haven't thought of, but every conversions at least - Fire/cold/light/chaos/phys/pop). This is built around the current new corps spectres auras. IMO, this is getting nerfed/removed next league. Just insane how powerful these corpse's are. I've also decided to stack some MF gear, since this is THE league of MF. Surely, I've sacrificed some damage in-li

This has been one of my favourite league starts ever. I forgot how smooth perm minions are to play, and the Kuduku spectres shock nova is basically screen wide with the 30% minion AoE mastery. There's obviously a ton of improvements and gear upgrades to make, this is just a rough SSF friendly week one target. Spectres are Spirit of Fortune, found from the pink vendor in the league mechanic. You can farm the spectre corpses in a10 desecrated chambers. In-fact, it's easier to do so since you can keep resetting the zone, perfect spectres are much more common in campaign, and the corpse pool at

Crafting Convoking wand (min ilvl 60) Spam Harvest speed reforge until you get +1 minions and an open suffix for trigger craft. Alternatively Alt + Augment spam until you get +1 and speed, can also try to regal if you get +1 and a random suffix. Finish with Trigger bench craft You can also try bound fossils, but they can be pricey early in a league at least for me they're very annoying to try and farm. These shouldn't also be that expensive to buy off of trade, +1 with a small attack speed roll isn't worth a whole bunch. If you're having trouble getting a +1 roll, a 50% minion damage

SRS count is 9 which is max you are able to have at once with ancient skull degen. unclick discipline on GUARDIAN'S BLESSING and unclick all aura's on UNWAVERING CRUSADE to see true mana reservation. ALL AURAS FROM UNWAVERING CRUSADE AND GUARDIAN'S BLESSING ARE FREE WITH NEW SUPPORT AND NEW GUARDIAN ASCENDANCY.

Animate Guardian gear: Note: You need 35% elem resist and 55% chaos resist to res cap your guardian. Get a level 20 Animate Guardian Gem so it doesn't die. Cheap gear: Leer Cast - gives you 50% increased damage Sentari's Answer - cheap easy curses (sometimes) Belly of the Beast - Defenses to keep him alive Sign of the Sin Eater - prevents elemental ailments when you guardian is nearby Rare boots with chaos resist Rare gloves with unnerve on hit and chaos resist Alternatives: Windscream boots plus gloves with curse on hit (to apply additional curse) Legacy of Fur

So we all know good old SRS. You have 20 of the little buggers, they swarm around headbanging things and living out their short blissful lives. Sometimes they even go out with a bang, and the sound of 20 skulls exploding multiple times a second is the good old SRS Popcorn. But what if the explosions were bigger? MUCH bigger? (tl;dr: 3.8 million current damage per SRS pop, could get up to 22mill under absurd conditions; pob: clips: mapping: harvest: and drox: http

HIGH BUDGET ENDGAME BUILD Vaal minions are worth 3 minions each (200% more). So for bosses you have 9 normal sentinels + 3 vaal sentinels (9 effective) = 18 effective sentinel damage. For mapping you get your blue and yellow sentinels too so increase minion count to 22 for mapping. Estimated Budget ~50-60 div Pros: Pretty tanky Easy to play Good map clear Niche, so levelling gear should be cheap Cons: Minion uptime for bosses Not the most dps for the cost Doesn't scale as well as other endgame builds Leveling: Level with SrS and Absolution until you get DomBlow act 3. You can

Thoughts on my league starter? Most expensive thing it uses is Aegis Aurora but Aegis ended up being fairly cheap last league (2-5 divines) Other than that and Skin of the Lords the rest of the gear is fairly basic. I plan on leveling with absolution until I can invest and make the switch to Dom Blow. &x200B; This is one of my first time making my own POB for my starter. Do you guys think it's viable? &x200B; Edit: Updated POB to add guard skill

Edit: Fixed for 100% flask uptime. This is my last submission. I will be playing this version of poison permanent minions in 3.21. This build is tanky, fast and best of all you only have to cast two spells on bosses (one cast of skeleton and one cast of despair). Without skeletons up it does 13m dps , with 1 skeleton to apply wither it does 23m, and everything up it hits the poison cap. The gear looks expensive, but it is quite easy to craft. Typically you start with a fracturued base. Spam a essence until you get a 3rd modifier you like, and finish w
