INVULNERABLE MINION BUILD (WIP)

I found an interesting way to achieve invulnerable minions. whether they be temporary minions or the permanent ones

Use any minion with infernal legion, MINION INSTABILITY (to guarantee a minion death), and the support gem GORGE, which grants life and mana flask charges for each corpse consumed. i prefer to use the skeletal warriors.

Use the SACRIFICE spirit gem and CAST ON MINION DEATH with PROFANE RITUAL socketed or another corpse consuming ability to consume corpses and trigger GORGE from the corpses created by your skeletal warriors.

Then, equip the unique belt UMBILICUS IMMORTALIS which states:

YOUR LIFE FLASK ALSO APPLIES TO YOUR MINIONS

MINIONS CANNOT DIE WHILE AFFECTED BY A LIFE FLASK

in doing so, you can keep uptime on your life flasks constantly. you really should never run out of flask charges because of the GORGE tech even with the downtime of the minions. the exploding minions will still die from minion instability

Thus, your minions will never die if you keep the flasks up. just keep clicking it and also helps you heal too if needed. you can focus all passive points on minion damage instead of any survivability.

i’ve been playing it with empowered zombies and it feels pretty good. they still expire, but won’t die to hits

has anyone tried something like this?

Interesting. Quite a bit of gem/gear investment, but worth looking into if we ever have a good minion that's too squishy to use otherwise.

Nice. You can also combine it with blood of the warrior flask so your Minions algo gain the benefit of rage

Have they fixed the belt by any change to prevent deaths from infernal legion (it didn't work before)

Dang! I got to go try!!

Interesting. I feel like you want them to die to instability though unless you're doing infernalist zombies. Are you infernalist?

Since Lavianga flask is constantly procing, would this help the build in any way?

Does Cast on Minion Death, <fire skills>, Raging Skulls still work?

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I decided to try stacking energy shield - at minimum level.

I got bored at this stage in the league and decided to spend many of my hard earned divines on a small project. Wouldn't it be funny to stack Energy shield for a min-level char? [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a027) Tabula rasa has relevant jewel mods noted on it in POB so the math actually works out since it doesn't seem to work properly in POB. second screenshot is with a lvl 29 discipline aura with 36% increased aura magnitude - I didn't wanna spend another several thousand divines on a support character, I just wanted to see how well it would work theoretically >3000 ES without aurabot is possible, however, its basically impossible in practice. As of now, there are \*18\* 2 socket uncorrupted crown of thorns left on trade - on average it takes \~11 to hit a 30% and then another 1 in 3 to get a 3 socket one. Hitting a double corrupt on said 3 socket would be better then my current one, but that's not plausible sadly. Same for the boots. Hitting a better double corrupt on the gloves and focus would likely be plausible, but I couldn't buy more bases from Finn. Grip of Kulemak 59% ES \*should\* be possible, but it already took me over 40 attempts to hit 57% so I think I'll just leave it as is. Belt I didn't find any other way besides the 25% corrupt to get ES without a level requirement - if anyone has any idea tell me. Amulet could sanctify for 19/19 but again, would require silly amounts of currency (each try is \~30 div as is with annoint + sanctify + quality). I \*think\* patient barrier should be best annoint, but correct me if I'm wrong. Total investment into this character so far is about 3000 divines, probably a bit more. further thoughts \- maximum technically possible is 3112 ES at level 2 unless I'm missing something important. POB [https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a](https://poe.ninja/poe2/pob/1a02a) \- doubting this but: is it possible to get an ascendency at this low level by skipping straight to geonor with a helper? In which case it might be possible that xp penalties kicking it would allow me to ascend at lvl 2? This would allow +20% +20% (ascendency) +60% (jewel) ES, which would get me to 3218 ES (actual build) / 3732 ES (max technically possible) Did I miss anything?

Rakiata who?

Rakiata who?

I made an elemental crossbow varashta sorc this season as my starting build (goal was to exploit yoke of suffering's full potential, you can find poe ninja below, don't be fooled by the dmg tooltip, it kill ubers before they can move) and so since I was in the intel side of the tree I used my weapon swap to maximize exposure (with whispering ice) and curse magnitude. Here with some non-optimized gear I'm reaching a total of -338% res (that's -169% on bosses), meaning it's better than rakiata's. I use cursed ground support to apply the curse and icestorm (which comes with the staff) with prolonged duration and potent exposure to make the exposure last longer. This tech doesn't require much investment apart from your weapon swap and a few sockets at most so it can be plugged into many elemental builds. As it is now, it requires you to cast the spells with your weapon swap, so I use it mostly for bosses, but i might cast icestorm on bulky rares in juiced maps once in a while. If you have a skill dedicated for mapping, it'll propably better to use rakiata on it, and remove it or use another skill for bosses. Here's the poeninja: [https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala](https://poe.ninja/poe2/profile/McZaatar-0907/character/Dendjala) I might make a build showcase if people are interested, it's a fun league starter build. With yoke and the electrocution node on the tree, enemies have 120% damage taken, more if they're cursed, on top of the giant res drop, plus you benefit from a lot of the "damage against enemies with ailments nodes" so that's why the tooltip is low (explosive grenades indicate 60k in game but they hit bosses for like 2M) at first I was playing with permafrost bolt with frost nexus + navira's fracture + fragmentation rounds, it was a fun combo and really strong for leveling but I couldn't scale navira's fracture damage in late game (I had command + minion nodes on my second weapon instead of the curse/exposure at the time) Hope this inspires some of you!
