One Button Minion Build using Mind Over Matter
I am 73 and disabled... but always a gamer, trying to stay active... could use some assistance with tips on improving my build for next league and better understanding mechanics and interactions now. My build must remain simple to use for me to be able to effectively play it. My playstyle is very slow.
Here is my Skeletal Sniper (x25) Build powered by Muster with 8 total Persistent minions.

Please note I never use command skills (which is why I use Brutality and Heft) on my Snipers... I map with Multishot II and boss fight with Minion Mastery +1 Level.
Also note that because I use 8 dying minions "Infernal Legion" all my Minions (including Snipers) have 0% Resistances, I rely on their 4 second revive time when they die, which in some boss fights they do die (never all die while mapping).
Each of the one off Persistent Minions uses Infernal Legion, Minion Instability, Essence Harvest (The "plan is to recoup 8% Mana when they die every 8-10 seconds). Combined with Mana Regeneration rate of 302 % and 76% Damage Taken Recouped as Mana, provides a steady flow Mana recovery.
I have a few questions... but feel free to give advice and suggestions on any topic!
Main Minion Choice:
- Is there a better Skeletal Minion or Spectre choice for how I have described my playstyle?
Passive Tree Mistakes:
- Any clear mistakes or suggestion to improve my build?
Mind over Matter:
-
Are there other ways to increase my mana pool that I may have missed?
-
Are the "recoup" from Essence Harvest & Damage Taken Recouped as Mana separate recoupment pools or do we they stack or block each other?
-
Does my use of Recoup(s) (Including Belt Midnight Braid) even make sense based upon how the recoup mechanic actually works or have I fallen down a less experienced player trap?
-
I have never used any Defensive ability other than MoM. Would consider switching for next league, what would be a better choice? I know my current gear which has High Life & Mana are not the right choice to switch now. I would prefer to stick with MoM because it is what I know, but would consider a change.
Vulnerability:
-
Is there a better curse for straight Physical damage?
-
Is there a better support gem the Physical Mastery which I use for +1 level
Gearing now this League:
- Is there a piece of gear I could upgrade or change which would greatly improve my build or am I just now tweaking to find small improvements?
