(Bugged) Kripp's S5 Shademist Summoner (NEW)

Season 5 brings us a new and seemingly overpowered aspect for our minions, the Shademist Aspect. This aspect could not be tested on the PTR as it was reworked afterwards, so there is some risk that this exact setup may have some issues, but minion Necro overall should be in a great spot in Season 5 as a fallback.

Shademist deals 25% weapon damage as a shadow aura around EACH minion. When used on a 2 handed weapon, this is doubled to 50%. The build runs 12 permanent minions, and 6 temporary ones from bone prison (yes, each piece of the bone prison counts as a minion). This amounts to a completely absurd amount of passive damage and most importantly, persists through minions being crowd controlled by enemy monsters.

Walk with your army of minions and watch enemies die to their Shadow auras from Shademist Aspect. Keep up the Skeletal Priest buff, as it will heal both your minions, as well as your own character through the Blood Getter's Aspect.

Aspect of the Great Feast will drain your resource to zero, but do not worry, none of your skills cost anything!

Keep enemies cursed, and use Corpse Tendrils and/or Bone Prison against tougher enemies.

Godslayer Crown can be replaced by a legendary with the Hardened Bones aspect. The Crown is likely best as the Shademist seems to snapshot its damage for its 5 second duration, so the 3 second damage window of the Crown's damage buff is essentially extended to 8 seconds for Shademist.

Tempering

Ideally you would use Offence - Damage to Cursed as it has a maximum value of 65% vs Summoning Damage at 55%, but it has a lower chance of landing. If you have extra tempers after landing the other temper affix, try a couple times for Damage to Cursed
