LOADOUTS:

LAB 1, 2, 3 minimal to zero config consideration and zero gearing options as its expected that you should be fine gear with the correct sockets as a priority over the base or stats on the item. 
Base gearing will be shown starting in loadout "End Game Level 85 and beyond.

***** Leveling **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

--- My typical early 3 link setup is SRS - Infernal Legion - Combustion

--- My typical 4 link is SRS - Predator - Minion Life - Infernal Legion - CAN USE UNLEASH IF YOUD LIKE

--- This build is very straight forward, always keep a mana flask handy until you get eldrich battery later on down the line. That passive alone is worth its weight in gold on this build. 

--- Unfort. this build has a few buttons.  I prefer frostblink to be on space bar, bone offering to be on right click, curse on W and pred on Q. You do you in terms of key binds but thats my setup and I really love it.

--- This builds scales minion life, therefore we cannot use minion damage suppor. Keep that in mind. 

--- Keep desecrate at level 1.

--- Be sure early in the Acts to give yourself enough mana to cast SRS.  I.E. dont have too many auras active. 

--- You will have more auras than you can use by Act 3.  I like to Prio Determination and Vitality but be sure to keep Vitality somewhat low until you can level it up.  And once you switch to Eldrich Battery, you can use as many as you can.

--- Please be aware, you do NOT have to follow where each skill is in relation to which piece of gear its located in.  Follow the LINKS execatly but early game, your zombies can be in your helm or your auras could be in your boots. 

--- Essences - The Main one for leveling is Fear, if you see one kill it and it gives you minion dmg on your wand, really really good for upgrading any weapons through out the campaign. The you have wrath (lightning res, Anger (Fire Res) and Hatred (Cold Res). These are also nice to pick up.

--- DO NOT SWAP TO SRS OF ENORMITY UNTIL YOU HAVE THE CAST SPEED WHEEL!!!!

--- Trigger craft for the wand is located in Act 9, follows these steps!
		1. Travel to Act 9 and enter the area called The Quarry
		2. Search for an entrance to the Refinery Tunnels. Within that zone you will find a sewer like grate that does not appear on your mini map
			until you are close enough to it. It often spawns near railway dead ends or splits. 


--- ACENDENCY CHOICES ---

	1. Mindless Aggression first
	2. Commander of Darkness <---------(**********************Avoid Until you are using Tavikai Amulet************************)
	3. Mistress of Sacrifice
	4. Bone Barrier 

	***This order has change from the build guide video for the simple reason, before getting the The Tavukai youll be using Infernal Legion and to ensure a smooth leveling experience, we want to avoid Commander of Darkness.  If you have Tavukai early, 
	by all means take Mistress of Sacrifice as your Uber. ***

--- Here are the gems you will need from the optional libirary quest in Act 3. This quest is called "Fixture of Fate"
		If you want to skip Molten Shell, Defiance Banner or other supports, you may pick ALL of these up in Act 6 from Vendor. 
	   - Feeding Frenzy Support - 1 Orb of Chance
	   - Elemental Army Support - 1 Orb of Chance 
	   - Molten Shell                    - 1 Scroll of Alteration
       - Determination                  - 1 Orb of Alteration
	   - Meat Shield                      - Quest Reward

***** Gearing **********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

--- The mods we are looking for on gear, as a BASELINE are as follows...

		- Max Life 
		- Resist (chaos last)
		- Minion Damage / Minion Life 
        - Some ES for eldrich battery
		- Movement Speed (boots)
		- Life Regen 

     Most of your gear early on will either be ES bases or hybrid ES/Armor.  Eventually when I have the currency, I prefer to go full armor bases to help increase your phys. dmg. reduction.  
     Hybrid has its place to and if you find one with good mods, absolutely use it. 

---  Alt Currency mods like eldrich/searing mods can be whatever youd like, generic max res, minion life / damage, damage or defense mods.  I don't really concern myself with those mods until I get my end game
      pieces and can really hone in on the mods I want to min/max. 

---  Socket pressure is a bit tight and coloring should be very very straight forward and easy.  We use mainly blue gems with the occasional red and green gems.  

---  Raw stat requirements arent too too bad. If you want evasion/armor bases for Spell suppression, then dex will be harder to get. Grab it on the tree and/or rings and amulets.  

---  Be on the look out for minion wand bases! And or a minion wand with +1 to level of all minion skill gems.  These are HUGE for leveling.

--- Try to pick up the Tavukai amulet ASAP as then you can drop infernal legion for a much better damage link. 


***** Mapping  ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

--- Every mod is pretty much fair game but beware, crit/crit dmg mods, mods that 
     reduce your resistance and additional proj./chain can be EXTREMLY rippy until you get powerful enough to just one most everything.  Run those mods with high caution early on. Also beware of no regen mods
     and mods that reduce your ES regen as that makes summoning SRS a bit of a pain in the butt. It can be done but i skip them cause, no thank you.

Skin of the Lords Keystone Check List 
Acrobatics - GOOD TO USE 
Ancestral Bond - GOOD TO USE. To my knowledge, traps mines and minion still do damamge. 
Arrow Dancing - MAYBE USE. We still have considerable evasion aganist melee hits. But if youd like more ranged evasion, this could be a great option.  Its a maybe for me.

Blood Magic - DO NOT USE 
Call to Arms - GOOD TO USE
Conduit - GOOD TO USE
Crimson Dance - GOOD TO USE

Ghost Dance - GOOD TO USE, if you end up using this...be sure to get some flat evasion on some jewels to compensate for its downside this is VERY IMPORTANT. Ive used this keystone numerous times.  
Ghost Reaver - DO NOT USE.  I am unsure if the new necro leech works with Vaal Pact and Reaver...best to not use and be safe than sorry. 
Glancing Blows - DO NOT USE.  This bricks out defenses 
Hex Master - DO NOT USE
Imbalanced Guard - DO NOT USE

WAND CRAFTING VIDEO I USED TO CRAFT MY TOP END MINION WAND!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGYbHk-O_lg



SHIELD CRAFT GOES AS FOLLOWS...

Step 1. Buy a base Fossilised Spirit shield ilvl 85+ WITH SHAPER INFLUENCE 

Step 2. Perfect Fossil  craft until 30% quality

Step 3. Fossil Craft with 1 Bound Fossil and 1 Pristine Fossil in a dual resonator 

			Spam until "Recover X% of life on block" mod shows up.

Step 4. Determine is other mods are good enough. For example, I wanted ATLEAST Tier 2 minion life and whatever minion damamge I could get. 

Step 5. Annul and Exalt slam if you find undesired mods and hope RNG is on your side.  If you brick, spam fossils again.  

Note: This recovery mod is fairly uncommon, so if you find a decent set of minion mods, I suggest you run with that and start a new craft for your min/max.  This mod  alone make us VERY tanky, so IMO its worth using as quick as you can.


Ignite Prolif for clear and pick your poison of the others for single taget. They're all quite good.
