↖ Build Mechanics and Playstyle
- Summoning Weapons: Use Bladefall or EK to create lingering blades. These blades are then animated into weapons.
- Minion Duration: In lower-budget versions, aim for increased duration nodes for longer minion uptime. In higher budgets, duration drops a bit.
- Mapping Strategy: Summon a few weapons at the start of a map. Use Arcanist Brand and Convocation to position them, then summon more as needed.
- Efficient Summoning: To minimize downtime, summon more weapons whenever you encounter tougher enemies.
↖ Leveling the Build
- Leveling with AW: You can start using Animate Weapon at Level 28. Use Bladefall to create blades early on.
- Alternative Leveling: For faster leveling, consider using SRS Absolution until Level 28.
↖ Path of Building and Skill Tree
- Low Budget POB: Covers essential leveling trees and focuses on poison in the skill section. Link: https://pobb.in/5Ex09N6AXOsw.
- Duration Nodes: Early in the tree, aim for increased duration nodes for sustained minion uptime.
- Eldritch Battery: Aim for Eldritch Battery for better Mana sustain.
- Resistance Nodes: Around Act 5 or 6, prioritize resistance nodes for survival.
↖ Gearing Up
- Before vs. After Poison Focus: Initially, focus on minion damage and life. After transitioning to poison, gear up accordingly.
- Weapon and Shield: Start with a generic weapon with +1 to skills and a simple shield with life and resistances.
- Helmet: Look for energy shield pieces, aiming for a +1 or +2 to minion skills in higher budgets.
- Affordable 6-Links: Rather than a Tabula Rasa, look for affordable, corrupted 6-link body armors.
- Skill Gem Setup: Use chance of poison and hypothermia, supported by skitterbots for shock and chill.
↖ Ascendancy and Charms
- Ascendancy Choices: Start with the Magi for damage and switch to Primalist later for efficiency.
- Charm Selection: Use charms to fix attributes and resistances. Look for ones that provide Onslaught to minions.
- Final Thoughts: This build transforms the Poison SRS template into an Animate Weapon build. Use zombies and golems as a meat shield to protect your animated weapons.
