Aether pets

[Carl!!!!]

Was thinking of doing an aether pets builds, becaus ei have aether reach and an adequately rolled warden's judgement. However, do the little support it offers, not sure which route to take, build wise. Looking at either druid or spellbinder atm...

Any ideas/suggestions more than welcome

Gosh you lucky man. I've been trying to push aether pets through HC but I've been making stupid mistakes here and there..

My idea was to go cabalist since Druid's bleed/retaliation inkling doesn't help me at all.

There's 2 ways to work a spellbinder: 1 -> go Skeletons + blight fiend, 2 -> go reap spirit.

However, if I have to choose arcanist, I'd go warlock.. Something about an aether bird feels great to try.

Yeah, I was thinking spellbinder with lost souls and skeleton focus (spellbinder so i'm not wasting the ather damage to iskandras, plus, in theory the elemental to aether conversion should apply to the flat elemental damage they'd get from iskandra's), or druid with beastcaller for extra briarthorn + the amulet and offhand that gives bonus briarthorn damage.

My biggest issue i think I'll face is the lack of decent aether RR

Diviner has Aether RR
you could also always snag a couple of slots for non pet bonuses with regular aether dps items wielding high aether RR, given you shouldn't need much aether RR it might be worth a slot or 2; weap, relic, amulet or offhand

for aether RR, I'm using the arcane bomb and flat RR from some random source I don't recall..
