Enslave spirit build?

[Strills]

Is it worth a try?

I was playing with my diviner yesterday, and I've got some spare points in enslave spirit and kinda like that spell, even though it doesnt really help me.

But than I though "With -100% recharge, would this skill be good?"

I was thinking a soothsayer becouse of the buffs it gives.

edit: seems like the link doesn't work, I don't know what I did wrong. ._.

100% recharge is a must so I can use the skill at all time. But well I won't enslave all monsters I come across, ten or so. And when they die I enslave a new one.

Does anyone know if those rings and staffs that buffs the pets up also would work for these enslaved guys?

Uh, yea. If you have any ideas or just think this idea is pure stupid, please say so.

Well, this build is not completely unknown, but it is rare.

The problem with Enslave Spirit is that it's going to be totally ineffective later on - because you can only enslave monsters that are at max 5 levels higher than you are. The monsters will soon outlevel you. If you're playing xMAX and if you're a dedicated genocider, you might postpone this till late Legendary, but than you'd still be running into problems.


As for titancalc, you should go to the bottom of the page and take the link from the Return Link body.

I didn't think it was totally unknown either

Oh yea. I forgot about that 5 level cap.

Thanks.

Well, if you use xMAX or are willing to repeat some areas for xp quite a lot of times, you can postpone these problems till mid-legendary... if you're a really dedicated player you can actually use it all the way through - but it takes too much time and effort to be really worth it.

I always liked the idea of this, but due to some stupid decision (in my opinion) it's really a useless skill later on, unless...
Well that's what makes me sometimes want to just use the "suicide gravestone trick" to keep my level high enough for the skill to work at all. I haven't done it though...

I was testing this build with properly trained toon. It hadn't any problem with 4 act epic. Legendary is not accesible, because of higher monster levels...

[yerkyerk]

Yea - I can't wait for the balance patch to adress that issue of Enslave Spirit. I'd think 1 higher monster level per skillpoint.. makes levelling that skill also worthwhile.

it seems like an excellent idea, i would go with a bone charmer, this way you could actually take charge to, xmax would be a good suggestion, maybe wear certain exp+ items?

[yerkyerk]

You'd definetely need xMAX for this build or some other thing makes increases your levelling up. Still, you probably won't be able to use it in late Legendary.

I can use it without problems in Hades's palace.
