Hi all. I have followed a few different guides to try and get the abomination summoned in one instance, then adding the “aura of undeath” skill node, and then porting to a new location. However the abomination always starts to decay and eventually dies. The only way he survives if I summon him with the “aura of undeath” skill node active at the time in the original location/instance.
Can I ask - anyone that has successfully done this, is it still working for you? Or has it been patched out?
I am a bit sad as I was hoping for this to be my HC uber aberroth kill on single player
Currently snapshotting is still working, but it will go away in Season 3.
I haven’t done any snapshotting, since that’s not how the game is supposed to work (and it’s a huge hassle), so I can’t respond to that specific issue, though.
But snapshotting is still in the game for a bit less than a month.
Yes, that’s the snapshotting, the skill nodes that were active at the time of summoning are the ones that affect the minion whether they are currently allocated or not.
A lot of guides recommend using golems and zombies to make your abomination before taking the aura of decay skill node, so I don’t believe this is/was the case. Only skeletons and mages would be consumed if they already had the skill node taken. These guides suggest the snapshotting of the skill tree happens after the summon as long as you change zones with the new skill tree nodes taken. I am not having success with this however.
Thanks DJ. I didn’t see it in any patch notes, which makes me think I must be doing something wrong. I will have to keep trying different approaches to see if I can get it to work. You are correct - it is huge hassle
