Cool and unique build, thx for it. Looking forward to any updates. It would be amazing to figure out a way for the minions to do chaos damage/apply curse as well, so that they synergize nicely with everything. Im running something vaguely similar with Chober Chaber (the hammer that lets your damage scale with increases to minion damage). But haven't figured out a good melee attack for the build yet.
Hey! I have tried Chober Chaber but the the base damage of the mace was so low that my damage suffered quite big time. I have made the build work. Able to farm tier 15s effectively. Minion AI is the biggest problem with this one with reavers, and I am definitely sub optimal than most infernalist minion builds out there hence why i haven't really bothered to make updates or add planners to not mislead anyone. Its simply a concept build at this point if the idea is fun to some. I am using chaos conversion, and stacking withered uptime all the way to 70%. Only using essence drain hinder to spread that contagion and wither status with dark effigy. I shall just make a planner in case anyone wants to explore further.
@LordxSaura that would be amazing, I'm sure that a small, but determined bunch of people would be interested in taking the build further 👍 Also how are you converting damage to chaos? Your own, as well as your minions'? I'm using that ring that gives you 30% damage as extra chaos damage and putting poison support gems on the reavers.
Would a chaos, minion, physical behaviour viable with warrior? I still want it to feel like a warrior by at the same time more like a proper death knight
Are you playing SSF? If not i suggest using Ghostwrithe for ES scaling or Cloak of Flame for Phys mitigation, alternatively you could use Enfolding Dawn for extra Spirit although you have to take Blood Magic
So I wanted to go full lich king and went straight ice no minion stuff yet… I’m stuck cuz everything’s on the other side of the talent tree. I look forward to seeing what you can do at least have a 2 hammer while my army does ice and chaos damage
That is an interesting idea as well but seems a bit difficult to scale those together, especially the the node to wear hammer on 1h seems like a big commitment. Can definitely do cold mages with this one though instead of reavers.
Any particular reason for using Reavers over Arsonists or Storm Mages? I feel that the Reavers being melee just sucks for some fights and Arsonists or Storm Mages have the luxury of being ranged which can account for more consistent dps. I'm also new to POE in general so forgive my noob question.
Hey! Sorry for the late response. But yea there are few reasons, beside the fact that I find them cooler, they create this front line for you at times and body blocks you so you can cast things better from backlines. They are the highest DPS and the cheapest spirit cost compared to arsonists and storm mages. With that being said, they do get stuck and it gets annoying but I kind of gotten used to it and this is where the additional chaos damage spread helps a lot. One monster dies and it opens up a lane for more of them to enter and keep attacking in very narrow corners.
Hey! I have been playing with it a lot. I am able to farm tier 15 maps easily but breaches have been not as efficient due to how minions AI work with reavers. Overall with all honestly, it works with warrior, but you end up being just the worse version compared to witch. Which is okay i guess. With ice, i think you can definitely go for the frost mages and it could be probably way better for map farming as well.

Shadow Wizard Money Gang. This is what I was waiting for.
Low key number one build !!
Great build!
its exactly how i wanted to play my next warrior
love to hear! If you start building it and let me know how it goes
Definitely paper build would be better to focus on minion / defense

I dont think there are necessarily witch items etc. Everything is based on weapons and there are no like class specific drops

Where are the planners?

I’m debating Re speccing my warrior to this and throw in ice let me know if it’s worth it

@ Thanks as long as I can be a deathknight it’s worth it
Can you post the build up😊
I will be posting it today! Been just experimenting and trying to make more improvements!
what about the loot drop ? Since u play as warrior no witch items drop is that true ? or must be very seldom..
There are no class specific drops. Everything drops for everyone as far as I know. And trading is a big part of this game.
