PoE Summon Skeletons, Physical builds without To Dust

Obviously before patch notes yada yada. A bit in the middle between a build concept and an actual build, there should be some avenues to get more out of this build still. PoB: Idea was to make ignite minions viable, and to not use spectres because as it looks now they'll be squishy and are hard to resummon if they die. We know Reaper is "playable" at best, but it has some downsides: - Clear is mediocre and requires asenath's - You have to use a bow for ensnaring arrow, which means no shield charge Ignite could solve the issues because you can link prolif to yo

CiP Bitterdream:

For notes see second pob, I'm too lazy to combine them.

Ok this is an absolution necro with minion army, we use basically all uniques with 4-6 jewel slots to make up for the rest. The dps is actually potent with 3-5 million sirus dps and we get around 40k eva with 40k armor on 4-5k life. This build can clear any content. Here is the pob: Btw we burn off our mana with blood rage and put everything on lifetab. With almost 200% increased duration this is a click per minute

PoB: (note that I added stuff that doesn't work in PoB to the bow) While watching Ventrua stream Reaper I was theorycrafting a bit. If you go for a +1/+2 support gems bow with an essence of fear on Reaper you get to pretty good bleed DPS. In my PoB with endgame gear it's about 5.5M bleed dps. Without awakened gems and when dropping the entire cluster setup it's still almost 4M bleed DPS. You can probably scale it even higher if you go for more SC strats. I think scaling Reaper with bow could be really good because you can use Ensnaring Arrow for the bleed. T

Gearing: Minion Leech Ghastly Eye +1 phys or all spell skill gems 1h with crafted minion damage +1 phys shield Cold Iron point might be pretty expensive early on Death's rush should be good for EZ onslaught from reaper's bleed kills Concerns: Reaper might just be bad Stun Elemental Ailments Lackluster defence? Skeletons or Reaper might be too squishy Mana Debatables: Is impale scaling good when the Reaper already deals bleed damage? Ensnaring Arrow could be a lot of damage if the bleeds are actually decent2020 +2 Convoking Wand - 1/12 (Corroded + Jagged + Metallic
