How about hellwardens instead of circ as a temp? Good or not?
I mean its basically just a +1/20 circlet with 1 socket, as opposed to 2/20+extra affixes like resists +2 sockets being a godly
do you honestly summon a defiler? i know that it technically will bind people, but you kill people so fast its like what's the point
I dunno, it hasn't even really been worth it on a fire build with just level 40 skills because everything dies so fast even p8 venom lords and even the free aoe damage feels a bit extraneous yes, I have to remind myself to tainted, consume, defiler, hex siphon, its a lot of buffs for pvm and overkill there, so an echoing strikes build that kills everything it touches in 1 hit might have even less reason. Heck for a practical sake you might be better with goatman out just so its one more body tanking hits, defilers run away. But in runs that last longer than the 1 minute of chaos it makes sense to summoner defiler and get the free damage, a lot of time it can basically pick off strays that your main projectiles missed and that matters
more in an echo build where you don't have as big an aoe. Having it kill units you weren't going to hit otherwise
