Freezing Ice Ranged Minions 0.8.2I Build Guide

Acolyte
26

At least it is in 0.8.2 patchnotes

  • Fixed a bug where Dread Shade’s Egoism node did not guarantee critical strikes for the minion if their critical strike chance was partially reduced by effects such as Blind from Blinding Fury.

what Blind Fury does is decrease the minion’s crit chance. So if it was 10% with BLind Fury in would be 5% but for Egoism it doesn’t matter 10 or 5 or 1 crit chance it lets minions always crit.

This is awesome, thank you!

does freeze rate help this build, or anything specific to cold? Or does it specifically have to say “minion cold” or “minion freeze” if that is a thing? Sorry, new here just trying to understand :slight_smile:

Only modifiers that say minion in them affect your minions.

Could you level up using this build? I see there is one unique used, however from listening to you, it doesn’t sound like its super necessary to have in order for the build to perform well. Looking for a minion build that will allow me to start and farm the endgame content and such. This looks awesome, but i always prefer to start from lvl 1 and on, working towards the main setup, over leveling as something else then working on switching to main setup.
If not, which of your Minion builds would you recommend, or even if this one is possible, maybe you believe another build would be better?

Thanks!

I have fat thumbs

I’m not even going to mention the incorrect usage of “there”.

38

That’s a very contradictive sentence

How good are Hollow Fingers here? I would guess the extra skeleton gets outscaled by the higher minion damage modifiers on the ring slots at some point?

Wearimg 1 is usually decent. 2 can be tricky as then you have alot of uniques on and hard to get some of the modifiers you need

Hello I was just as skilled as in the video. I can summon 10 warrior skellets. But if I have 1 point in Lone Guardian and 1 point in Mightier than the Sword skill, I can only summon 2 warriors and 1 bow skeleton. in your video you have 10 arch skellets. How does it work

42

You accidently put in or left a point towards the bottom that removes archers Take that point out.

43

Yes, that was the mistake. Thank you

Hi there! Trying to respec my necro to fit this build, but it seems the dread shade tree changed a bit … Seems not to be possible to add just 1 point to “Pernicous Act”, as either one point in “Vile Ghast” or “All for one” is needed to reach Pernicous Act. Mhm, struggling now which one should I chose to reach Pernicous Act ? Seems “All for one” would be a bad choice, as it only buffs the targeted minion and not the others … So Vile Ghast it is, right ?
