Best ascendancy for summoner in 0.4 SSFHC specifically?

Hey,

I'm looking to start a fresh ssf hc run and wanna eventually build a fully juiced temple and play a summoner, most likely powered zealots would be the best for temple as well.

I'm just unsure about ascendancy. I have a few options: Lich, Varashta, Oracle, Shaman, even Titan works as far as I know.

What do you think would be the best for this if I'm planning to play this character long term?

Thanks!

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • HC - Hardcore League (Wiki)
  • SSF - Solo Self-Found (Wiki)

I feel like minion lich is the best for HCSSF, for reason being that it’s one of if not the safest build early on, and minion does enough damage, it will allow you to equip more safety oriented gears. Later on, lich is probably the tankiest ascendency, and it gives you all the nodes needed for minions to shine

Start Bloodmage since life in campaign is infinitely more reliable than es on leaguestart

Use unearth to proc remnants, or just walk around picking them up without casting anything

Later, respec lich. BM has a solid 1-3 ascension curve for minions but you legit get nothing from 4th ascend, aka it's perfect for delaying 4th ascend anyway until you need the damage from unholy might
