Storm Mage Minions Detonate Dead
Early Access – Day 29 – January 4, 2025
I didn’t level this build, I simply switch a few gems from my levelled up Skeletal Arsonist Raging Spirits Minions Detonate Dead Infernalist so I could try different minions which would offer, hopefully, less visual clutter.
I simply followed another Maxroll build from Helm Breaker. I had to keep Detonate Dead to help with clearing, especially in the WatchTowers.
But I only played this build a couple of hours because the loss of DPS and map clearing speed was just too much to compensate for a better visual clarity.
I think, this is a great build to scale far in the end game with Doryanis Prototype and GhazzyTV has a build for this version. But I never enjoyed to walk around with a lot of minus lightning res and expiring quickly with a small lightgning DOT. So this was the end of the road for my experiment with these minions.
| Bossing | ★★★ |
| Defence | ★★★★★ |
| Mapping | ★★ |
| Budget | ★★★★ |
| Overall score | 14 |
What I liked
- Super Tanky – a lot of ES with Grim Feast, 50% block cap, max res
- Cheap – can be put together for probably less than 4-5 divs
- Lazy minion playstyle great for bossing
- Can do all waystone mods
- Visual clarity
What I disliked
- Minion AI – especially when running small corridors like Towers.
- Mapping – See above but even in good open map, mapping could be faster, Detonate Dead help a lot.
- Slow – Movement speed and map clear
- DPS – Not bad but this version does not offer as much DPS as the Skeletal Arsonist version.
Would I play it again?
No, I would play the arsonist instead.
