PoE Minion builds with custom stat filters

Hi there exiles, I was planning on trying a strong tank build and thought on making some changes on the usual mage skeleton tree. What do you think about it? I am a bit concerned about the mana because probably it makes everything a bit slow while maping but anyways I think it will be enough.

So because of multiple games that game out in this time, I didnt get to play this league much. Since 3.18 isnt making many changes I was thinking of trying out my build again but was wondering if maybe there was any advice people could give. This was a build of my own design so I know its not great, but any tips would be appreciated. I super lack in defenses and my gem links are just stuff I threw together. Like I still have a portal gem and GMP i was leveling in there. The Vaal Summon Skeletons is literally just used as a blocker/distraction for big scary things or bad groups. As for the

This is my backup plan for league start next league, if nothing new/buffed piques my interest, and if armour and evasion both somehow avoid the nerf hammer again. Zombies seem to have a very low representation on the SSFHC ladders, but it's pretty easy to get 1M+ damage on them with a ton of budget left over for tankiness. 1.2M DPS with the Determination/Grace/Defiance Banner trinity, 100% spell suppression, and 62/37 block. Any suggestions for improvements would be welcome!

I'm working on upgrading my Skeleton Mage setup now that I have a real budget for upgrades. I have about 25 Ex in the bank and another 10-12 Ex worth of stuff I'm trying to sell for further upgrades. I started off following a leveling guide and now I'm trying to adjust to follow the more popular builds I see on POE Ninja but I know I should make some adjustments Current POB: Possible upgrades: Swap the belt for Darkness Enthroned and a couple of 20% minion damage if used recently jewels. But, that makes balancing resists harder. I'm running a pretty cheap Anim

Here's my take on Zombie Guardian for aHC, but certainly viable in aSC as well. Any tips or criticism welcome, especially on Zombies part. I've leveled similar builds to 100 for 3 leagues now on HC leagues, but with Spectres and Spiders, never Zombies. This time I decided on Zombies. As my playstyle is holding down Shield Charge, Zombies should attack everything without Feeding Frenzy, but if I find that doesn't work, then I need to socket in Feeding Frenzy for them. I don't like Predator support personally, but feel free to use it if you like that playstyle. Th

Edit: changes made, read edit before you dive in. This build will need self tuneing to be optimized Hi, Just thought i would share my summon reaper bossing necro I made for 3.17. the intention is to start as a life build and transition to this CI version after getting a chunk of currency. I know with the new league some of these items might be outclasses because of the new implicates but without knowing this is what i got. The intention is to use carnage cheiften specters for frenzy gen. should be more than enough to clear maps. during boss fights, switch to a bow and use ensnaring arrow an

Couple of thoughts right off the bat: No Herald of Purity, just because for it to be worth I feel like would take up too much mana that could be used being tankier or boosting the Sentinels 96 is getting up there for sure... I'd probably start by dropping Enduring Bond since it's a pretty small damage boost. Would losing that much duration hurt? Seems to drop about a third of its duration (30s -> 20s) Very little minion defense on the tree. I see some trees investing quite a bit in to defense. Is that, like, crucial? Aegis Aurora probably getting t
