Endless buff party.

[Slayer]

I have used this strategy for bosses so far, i don't see any reason why it would not work in normal fights.

As i was playing around i found a pretty entertaining way to make my minions unstoppable.Here's what i did:

- fully upgraded the Iratus statue for max mana income as soon as possible.
- i picked "Conjure Shadows" in the magic talent branch to be able to summon my own shade in battle. (you also get "Arcana Antediluvia", the upgrade that grants 5 mana after each successful fight)
-i picked the "Slake with darkness" spell as well
-i have crafted 2 bone golems , fully upgraded them and leveled them up, i've upgraded their abilities in the following order from top to bottom :
1.Right
2.Right
3.Left (This is "Abyssal Engine", it grants greater self-healing for the golems, i would say this one is mandatory, pick whatever you want for the rest)
4.Right
5.Right
6.Right
-i then used the spell that summons the shades in battle and only used their "Dark Portal" ability to generate 15 mana each while using the golems to tank and heal constantly.
-then by using the spell "Slake with darkness" upon a golem of choice repeatedly i continued to buff him constantly until he was strong enough to kill the bosses in 2-3 hits.The Shades will die constantly so you will also have to keep track of your mana to make sure you have at least 50 available points to summon one when both of them die.

Note: Make sure you always end your battles with at least 13 mana since only with the Iratus Statue and "Arcana Antediluvia" perk will only regain 37 mana per fight, all you have to do is make sure you use "Dark Portal" one last time before finishing off your enemies in case you used up all of your mana.

This is pretty much it, let me know your opinions about this strategy.

Close to the 2 Shades starting party and summoning 2 more shades, with some cheap spell to rid them of wards and just finger of death for instant kill. Having the wrath upgrades in the Ire talent tree with cost reduction at 100 wrath makes that even more relaxing XD basicly every 65 mana generated kills one enemy + ward removal either with debuffing or spell though

Neat build!
Similar to the "super ghoul" build, where summoned shades and skeletons (from lich) are eaten until your ghoul hits for 200 and has 600 health. LUL

Thanks for your positive opinion!
I've been thinking about ways to use ghoul effectively with summoned minions as well but i was not too sure that it will work, might be difficult to keep your lich alive unless it's very expendable and you just craft a new one each time it dies.I also still need to unlock blood phantasm, maybe that minion will expand my strategical pool.

Basicly the duo Shade party evolved out of the Ghoul party. Was using that build on GAW difficulty for a while already. Get's pretty funny with having 50%+ Evasion on the main Shades.

Nice! Hopefully there are much more synergies to be discovered and maybe even more minions added as time passes(not too sure about this tho)
