nice job

"...cast Decreptify as it is the same damage as Amp damage..."

Decripify does 50% more damage, Amplify does 100% more Damage.

Still best summoner guide i have ever seen.

Thank you very much.

One note

This is the information from Arreat Summit on Decreptify

This curse gives the victim a glimpse of his own mortality, briefly aging the victim. Imagining itself with an infirm body of advanced age, the afflicted believes it is no longer capable of youthful exertions.

Effect: Target's Speed, Damage and Physical Resistance -50%

Decrepify also slows the attack (except missiles from monsters), reduces the damage output of monsters and makes monsters more susceptibile to physical damage.



Apparently we are both wrong. It lowers physical resistance and it lowers their damage as well as slows them but it does not amplify damage. Lowering their immunity to physical resistance doesnt exactly mean you do 50% more damge I dont think. Does anyone have the mathematical equation for this? Sorry about that. I had never read that before.

Either way, use Decreptify on Baal so he doesnt tele around the chamber and become annoying.

I was aware of this! I should have fully elaborated, Amplify Damage lowers physical immunity 100%, which oddly enough is not enough to take away physical immunity on all monsters, but most.

Anything to help.

Thanks for the support

Everyone, please note this as I am not able to edit the original post.

Amp Damage and Decreptify does not do the same thing entirely.

This does not change the skill to use in any case however, so if you plan to make this build, follow the strategy as described just know it does something slightly different than I originally stated.

A very nice guide indeed, I play my own summoner and it's great fun.

About Attract, does it works well in ubers? To make the spawned minions attack the Uber? I use a combo between life tap, decrep and amp when I'm ubering, on the minions I cast terror to make them flee so my summons can concentrate on the uber himself.

Also, I currently use Um'ed homunculus instead of my spirit (which btw is totally perfect ^^), but I might "upgrade" to one darkforce and sox it with Um to raise my resistances.

I'd like to fill in again; nice guide!

Attract doesn't work on bosses.

It's like Dim Vision then. Hmmm, what mephistophilis means is that the minions starts attacking each other then?

Useful.

cool, will try this shit out
