GhazzyTV's Zoomancer Necromancer Gear, Jewels & Flasks (PoE Settlers of Kalguur)
Summary – TL;DR
Cap your Elemental Resistances and get the attributes your gems require to make sure you can use them all. There are a few unique item options however, the remaining pieces should be Rare with Life and of course any lacking attributes/resistances.
My quick list recommended approach for this build would then be:
Item Slot | Item Name | Rarity |
---|---|---|
Head | Life then Res/Attributes as needed, also include +1-2 lvl of all minion skills +extra Skeleton/Zombie | Rare |
Amulet | Life, resistances but most importantly attributes OR The Jinxed Juju | Rare/Unique |
Chest | Choice of Corrupted Rare chest or a Tabula Rasa | Unique or Rare |
Gloves | Life, resistances and attributes if needed | Rare |
Boots | Bones of Ullr or Rare with movement speed, life and resistances | Unique/Rare |
Belt | Darkness Enthroned | Unique |
Rings | 2X Unset Ring | Rare |
Weapon | Convoking Wand | Unique |
Shield | Minion shield | Rare |
Armour Pieces
A lot of the higher budget examples can either be purchased or crafted, and when crafted I would strongly suggest utilizing Craft of Exile to determine the cheapest approach to crafting the desired items.
Since most items in this build are unique, the main focus will be to have as much Life as possible and sort out any Attributes & Resistances, as we need to reach the desired caps. However, with that said there are some juicy choices one can take to increase the build’s efficiency, although it does come with a higher price tag.
Helmet
This piece is literally only going to be focusing on Life, Resistances & any needed attributes. If you’re able to get the modifier “+1-2 to level of all minion skill gems” that would be a very nice bonus! Once you have a helmet like this you’ll be wanting to help your mana reservation out by utilizing the Eater of Worlds implicit that provides extra mana reservation efficiency of skills. This is done by using Grand Eldritch Ichor, you can use the lowest tier versions as well, just be careful with how much mana you have left after enabling all your auras! If you’re unable to get this modifier, simply ignore Skitterbots aura till you do!
Body Armour
A corrupted 6-Link chest piece or even a Tabula Rasa would work initially. Later on you’ll want to get either a Skin of the Loyal with the correct colors or a The Brass Dome for better defenses.
To look for a corrupted 6-Link you’ll simply check the correct colors in the search configuration: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade, depending on the market a Tabula can be cheaper than a corrupted 6-Link, in most cases the corrupted chest is not just cheaper but straight up better as you can find anything providing a bit of life, resistances and/or attributes.
Gloves
Here you grab any pair of glove with high life and suffixes should be any needed resistances and/or attributes. If you’re able to fit chaos resistance that’s always preferrable.
Boots
- Bones of Ullr It’s cheap, it’s effective and it helps us reach level 25 specters faster. A rare boots will be the goal in higher budget and would focus on having movement speed, life and then resistances and/or attributes as needed.
Shield
As we are already a reasonably beefy boy, we are going to want a Minion Shield as our base here. Ideally, this shield should have:- +1 to all minion skills
- Maximum life, preferably decently high roll
- Resistances if needed
Belt
We’ll be using the unique: Darkness Enthroned as it scales the modifiers on socketed abyssal jewels inside of it by 50-100%!
Jewel Modifier Priority List:
1. Life
2. Minion Accuracy to make sure your minions have 100% chance to hit
3. Added flat physical (or cold) damage to your minions
4. Increased x% minion damage, when you’ve used a minion skill recently
5. Minion attack speed
6. Attributes and/or resistances if needed
Accessories
Amulet
One of the very few rare items this build will be using, due to this it is EXTREMELY important that you cover as much of your attributes & resistance needs on your few rare items. I’d strongly suggest using a Citrine Amuletfor extra dexterity!
Modifier Priority List:
1. Life
2. Elemental resistances if you’re not capped (75%)
3. Attributes if needed to make you able to use all your skill gems
4. Chaos resistance
The anoint you want is Stamina. The oils you will need for this is 2x Black Oil 1x Silver Oil
Rings
We want 2x Unset Ring here. Prioritize affixes as outlined below and per your needs.
Modifier Priority List:
1. Life
2. Elemental Resistances unless capped (75%)
3. Attributes if you need more to be able to use your skill-gems
4. Chaos Resistance
One of these rings should have a +2 level of socketed gems mod, if you want to enable Animate Guardian early.
Weapon
Convoking Wand is just absolutely insane for the low level requirement & cost so this is a natural choice for the low budget version.
Flasks
Flask set-ups are almost always a matter of personal taste when it comes to what utility flasks to use. However, I will list the set-up I’ve been using for a smooth play experience. To find the available list of modifiers the flasks can have, check out these links: Utility Flasks, Life Flasks, Mana Flasks & lastly: Hybrid Flasks
The PoB is showcasing another flask set-up that works fine as well, again, this is mostly a matter of personal preference when it comes to the utility flasks.
Slot | Flask | Description |
1 | “Seething” Divine Life Flask of | Instant life flask that also removes bleed effects from you |
2 | “Transgressor”, “Masochist’s” or “Flaggelant’s” Granite Flask | This flask gives us more armor |
3 | “Transgressor”, “Masochist’s” or “Flaggelant’s” Basalt Flask of “Abalone”, “Tortoise”, “Pangolin” or “Armadillo” | The prefix modifier helps sustain the flask charges during map clearing & the flask provides increased physical damage mitigation whilst the suffix increase your armor significantly |
4 | “Transgressor”, “Masochist’s” or “Flaggelant’s” Amethyst Flask | Shores up Chaos resistance, the suffix can be whichever you feel like |
5 | “Transgressor”, “Masochist’s” or “Flaggelant’s” Silver Flask | The onslaught helps not just our movement speed but the speed of which you summon your minions, the suffix can be whichever you feel like |
6 | “Transgressor”, “Masochist’s” or “Flaggelant’s” Quicksilver Flask | This is a great alternative to the Silver flask if you just want to move faster. It grants vast movement speed. |
For help crafting your non-Unique flasks, we recommend checking out our Flask Crafting Guide.
Cluster Jewel
We’ll want a small armor providing small cluster jewel to give us the notable Enduring Composure this will generate Endurance Charges for us! You can either purchase one of item level 68 or higher then craft it with Alterations or straight up buy one from the market from this link!
Jewels
We’ll be exclusively using Ghastly Eye Jewel as they provide minion related modifiers. Thanks to Darkness Enthroned we can put our best jewels in there to further scale those modifiers. Also note that if you’re struggling to solve attributes and/or resistances you can get those modifiers on these jewels as well and they are also scaled by the Darkness Enthroned belt should it come down to that!
Jewel Modifier Priority List:
1. Life
2. Minion Accuracy to make sure your minions have 100% chance to hit
3. Added flat physical (or cold) damage to your minions
4. Increased x% minion damage, when you’ve used a minion skill recently
5. Minion attack speed
6. Attributes and/or resistances if needed
You should also get 1 each of the following affixes across your jewels, spread out however you want:
1. Minions have #% chance to Taunt on Hit with Attacks
2. Minions have #% chance to Blind on Hit with Attacks
