im having trouble even killing dried lake, they just crush my weapons, is this becaus of lack of levels on my animate gem ?,

Get tabula rasa - animate weapon - GMP - poison - chaos dmg - inc duration - void manip/faster attacks/ whatever.
Get Jorrhast maul to self summon AW (poison kills count as your own which resummon double AW). Start each map with two wands/bows reanimated (4 summons coz of Jorrhast passive).
> Run around and manually AW only ranged weapons. Jorrhast will animate melee. Speed clear over 9000

i used spell totem to animate that shit, lag over 9000
