How to do you beat Geonor 😭

I just started POE2 (complete noob) at level 16 as a Witch Minion summon (my build in the picture). I’ve died probably 20 times lol. I can last most times through the middle section of his second phase by kiting, I struggle doing damage though the second phase and usually end up dying because I can’t deal enough damage in phase 2. Any tips or suggestions?

  1. Get better gear, especially focus on +# Energy Shield and % Energy Shield combo
  2. Get more cold resistance, either from gear, runes or charms. 50%+ is preferable
  3. Fire attunement support gem is always a good choice for Skeletal Archers, since it lets them autotrigger the command skill (which has busted dmg early on). Also get as many of them as You can, upgrading Your specter if You need (You should run scepter with minions btw)

Cold res. Dodge during smoke phases.

if you use skeleton sniper i would recommend use the flame wall skill from elemental skill tab cause the arrows that fly thru the flame wall skill will have extra fire damage added to them

Put Essence Drain in your rotation, it’ll give you a lot of sustained damage.

How is your cold resistance ?

put a shield in weapon set 2. You can hold block when hee does his frozen rain thing and just facetank it. He alwso appears and runs across the fog after he finishes each sentence.

Side note from what everyone else has recommended.

You are in peak PoE2. I wish I could go back to when I first started and everything was unknown and "hard"

Stay sane exile

Hey man I’m also a new player. Energy shield armor and elemental resistance is huge.

Geonor can be very difficult for a minion build. Get a wand with Chaos Bolt and use Essence Drain because you're going to have long periods where you won't have your minions up and outside of Contagion, you have no offensive options.

Cold res. Get at least 50 cold res and the entire battle gets so much easier
