Notes

Leveling

1-10
You will need to get atleast 8 dex to setup level 10 gems. Important notes here, accuracy for minions will make your dps work.
The best way to get through the first few acts is to scale your damage above the expected levels in the most recent update to acts 1. 
You can do this by investing in cast speed and any minion damage nodes you can get on the tree.


11- 27 
Setting up Spetres, SRS, Zombies, an Auras at this level will make this build feel INCREDIBLY strong and will cary you almost to the end of acts with little to no changes. 
The most important thing to note is that you need Carnige Chieftants from Act 3 for your Spetres and will most likely do most of your damage with SRS while zombies body block for you.

28-42
The biggest change here is that you start using Unleash with SRS to get as many minions out as possible which will significantly improve your quality of play and your damage.
Other big damage changes come from feeding frenzy at level 31 and your aura reservation efficency early so you can start scalilng deffensive or offensive auras based on your needs.

43-67
You should be getting towards the end of the acts and possibly switching over to soulwrest based on what kind of currency you have to invest in thie build. It is 100% fine to keep with your leveling
build until you have the cash to switch. Switching to early here is the only thing you can do wrong. You would be getting close to having all of your auras by now and can start looking at reservation efficency jewels
to help carry you into late game. 

68-95
You will be adding clusters and getting better ghastly eye jewels here. Expect to start paying more for your gear and this is the part the build really starts shining and doing some good mapping and bossing damage. 
Best words of wisdom here is farm more, upgrade less often but with bigger items.

Damage Scaling 
Damage is scaled in this order

Flat Damage
	- Garrion Golem Buff
	- Gastly Eye Jewels
	- Soulwrest Staff Rolls

Percentage Damage
	- Auras
	- Clusters

Prioritize getting 20/0 gems and atleast T2 variants of the gastly eye jewels. Clusters can be ignored to start except fot the Belessed Rebirth node and any reservation needs you may have for your auras. 
Clusters come after you get your eye jewels and aura setup correctly. In some casses it will be better to get an 8 passive large cluster to get the cheapest extra jewel socket you can get for reservations.

General Notes

Staff is 6 socket only - done with 350 jewelers and a craft found in your maps for 6 sockets
Necromancer for more damage, Guardian for more tank.
Animated Guardian via Hungry Loop if you really want to invest some cash for quality of life.
Jinxed Juju is needed, and will affect your damage if you dont have it. 
Rare Minion helms are better normally than any unique, that goes for Anchient Skull and Devouring Diadem
Victarios influence will kill you and your enemy faster than anything else, use it at your own risk.
Gem cutters prisms are needed for this build, better start farming now. 
Kitavas Teaching and Replica bones of Ullr are BIS for automation of this build
20/20 Generosity will give you near full screen coverage of Auras which will keep your damage up all the time. 
Craft with fractured Ghastly eye jewels to save money over market fixing prices. 
Is kinda bad in Simulacrums without Corpse Walker.
