Well you understood the combos on most build, but look at the last one here...

echo:
holy freeze + cursed

fire:
conv + whatever

abyss:
no bind demon, use 3x defiler, consume 1

echo for ubers / pure summoner:
fana + cursed

blood boil:
conv + cursed (you deal both fire and phys dmg)
you can eventually replace conv by infinity on merc, simply to have better amp propagation from holy freeze, but this is an expensive commitment for little upgrade while you could use insight on merc instead


I see ty for the answer <3

I think auras lvl up too
And depends of monster level
I see fire Aura a bit better than others


auras level up every 8 levels on monsters

80 = lvl 10
88 = lvl 11
96 = lvl 12

No aura benefits you
You can already get holy freeze from a2 merc
You really better use 3x defiler and consume one
The shared dmg from defilers is what's pumping your dmg a lot
Much more than whatever bind demon you could potentially use

Ok i understand. But why with curse then?

The combination is what doesnt make sense to me


Another GG option is Urdar or Spearwoman aswell as Lister

Extra fast Urdars with might and curse are the best IMO

Just got hands of a Extra fast urdar and is pretty GG and also safe for your character since it is alwasy glued to it when you teleport

actually the better combos to go with curse is holy fire/ shock/ and freeze with curse + freeze being the best.
