Hi Guys

I recently started playing GD on Elite with my Spellbinder (Arcanist/Necromancer)

1) Decide whether you want to use pets or attack yourself to kill things. "Both" is advanced stuff for endgame and needs to be handled very carefully or it will just make the character less effective.
2) Respec 75% or more of your stat points into Physique.
3) Get Mirror of Ereoctes and Mark of Torment and use them.
4) Start paying attention to improving your resistances. Components everywhere, gear changes, etc.

First off at 67 you should max out both classes imo, second max spectral binding, third decide if your a pet build or not respec accordingly.

AAR is good if you base a build around it otherwise a waste of points

Your health is too low (much to low should be around 7 or 8k at that level) and your resists are to low

I actually crafted a Spellbinder build a few months back, it works pretty nicely, no survivability issues.

Forget AAR and summons all together, focus on Drain Essence and Ravenous Earth as your damage dealing spells (Syphon Souls too if you like it).

After this, get Mirror and Mark of Torment as defensive skills, no need to max but put some points into them.

Then focus on vitality damage (poison and arcane can help too) and for constellations, anything that gives you sustain, your spell procs should focus on this.

E.g. Scales of Ulcama, Wendigo and Rattosh are all amazing here.

Armor procs like Wave of Death will also help out a lot.

With this you can just hold your ground versus basically anything, between pots, Mirror and Mark, you are almost immortal due to the life steal you are outputting.
