[0.5] Manifest Weapon Summoner Smith of Kitava (Life Tank Version)

Updated on Jun 28, 2026

Build Overview

Welcome back you Filthy Exiles

For this build we have decided on running with Manifest Weapon and actually make this work. Pretty much the key to scaling damage with this setup is the following:

- Strength Stacking

- Some Dex stacking for speed

- The manifest takes the form of the weapon you are using so a high damage weapon is ideal

- It can be granted shrine buffs

You want to also scale max blocking using the Svalinn and for extra clear we use a combo of Repulsion via a Blasphemy setup as well as Vestige of Darkness from the Bodark encounter for more clear and damage; it also adds some good stats to the build as well.

Secondary to this we want to use War Banner and use Infernal Cry to generate more glory so you can cast it in the middle of boss fights.

Currently int he setup you can do all endgame safely and it is easy on the hands, but uit will not one tap bosses and there is some investment to get it going ultimately.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Minion play style
  • Decent clear
  • 2 button or no button play style if you desire it
  • Good for players with bad hands
  • Can turn brain off after a long day of work and enjoy the game
  • Can start build from Act 2; just need the ascendancy to do so
  • Weaker boss damage and cannot one tap bosses
  • Minion style play
  • Strength stacking is not cheap!
