I would suggest looking through the main forum for summoner builds.

Summoner are better if you go for witch and not scion.

Not really, but you will startout weaker.

One of the minion clusters are right at the scion start. However after that you will have to go up and to the witch.

Of course this all depends what he wants, more solo or semi-solo to CoOp / skeletons, zombies and or spectres?

However the witch is better if you are looking into easier builds for a summoner vs advanced ones that needs a little more care and attetion.

I did this summoner last season and really enjoyed it. Not too expensive to gear up, but it does give the option for some more expensive items once you have currency saved up. It runs loads of auras so you're very helpful in parties.

Necro is obviously better, but I guess it can work for Scion. Just weaker due to no ascendancy stuff. SRS will tear through most of content anyway.

Scion summoner is significantly worse than witch because of the differences in ascendency. You lose half your minion damage(necro summoner gets 105% minion damage from ascendency alone), sharing offering bonuses and chunk of minion life/resists to maybe have a shot at being an equal aura bot. Maybe.

Not a good tradeoff for 6 extra points. And you're skill tree will look nearly exactly the same because the nodes you want are focused around both scion and witch starting point.

It's not only minion damage that's lost though. It's also extra corpses from Desecrate and Mistress of Sacrifice - both huge boosts for Flesh Offering, which, in turn, is absolutely bonkers extra boost for minions and self-applied speed.

The OP haven't said what he/she wanted. It could very well be a build for ♥♥♥♥ and giggles and for that matter even a marauder summoner can be fun.

Fun isn't always god coming out of the sky and killing everything with a single bolt.

Oh btw my summoner is a witch which I build on whim for just that. If I wanted to go all pro league then I'll stick to my other build projects.

thanks for all the replies guys. i think i am looking to have a little fun with a minion build. maybe not total endgame, but i'm running around with one minion , a golem and he's pretty cool. I could handle an entire crew of these guys lol.

Slightly old build, but still works great as of Breach League (HC)

Haha as long as you have fun with it. You can always try a secondary damage type if you are not going fullblown summoner like mixing in fire and ignite.
