Here.
Playing a truly pure one as in:
- no basic skills
- no core skills
- no Ring of Mendeln
- no CE or shadow damage
- no Blood Mist
Just minions killing shit on their own and me cursing everything around with both available curses.
It was just an experiment but to my surprise it's capable to clear T60-70 dungeons, which is way better than I expected initially. Bosses is the least of the problems.
What most people miss when they say that pure summoner is too weak without CE or any other external damage boost is the corresponding glyphs: Warrior, Mage and Golem (besides the obvious Deadraiser).
Minions 30x/60x/75x mastery skills are actually direct multipliers of their own damage buckets, and I have:
Minions: 105%
Warriors: 378%
Mages: 476%
Golem: 800%
Increased further with 80x by Aspect of Reanimation in a 2h weapon and new season changes for minions.
It's definitely not S-tier build one-shotting Uber-bosses but still something way more viable and fun to play than a pure summoner without CE in D2.
