- Feeding Frenzy Or Minion Damage Game
Minion builds are in a really great place and are usually great as starter builds. This strength stacking Zombie + Skeleton build is not an exception. It’s a really solid one to play to level 100 if that’s something that you would like to do.
Build Pros
Sep 10, 2019 - Feeding Frenzy - Minion Damage - Melee Splash - Melee Physical Damage Helm - Raise Zombie - Feeding Frenzy - Multistrike - Minion Damage Boots - Animate Guardian - Blood Magic - Meat Shield - Raise Spectre Gloves - Decorate - Faster Attacks - Summon Carrion Golem - Shield Charge Offhand - Precision - Generosity - Hatred Weapon - Bone Offering. Mar 11, 2020 Feeding Frenzy Support Now gives minions from supported skills 25% chance to grant Feeding Frenzy to you on hit at gem level 1, up to 44% at gem level 20 (previously 25% at all gem levels). No longer causes minions from supported skills to deal more damage while you have Feeding Frenzy.
- Tanky - can get to 10k effective life without huge currency investment
- Great as a league starter because it doesn't require tons of expensive stuff to get started
- Safe - can be played in hardcore or to level 100 in softcore
Build Cons
- The Baron helmet will probably cost quite a bit at the beginning of the league (it is required later on, not right off the bat though)
- Resistances can be tricky to cap because build uses a lot of uniques

Helmet
The BaronThe build uses The Baron helmet which is fantastic option for strengh stacking minion builds.
It will be expensive at the beginning of the league, so until you can afford it, use regular rare helmet with high life and resistances.
Feeding Frenzy Or Minion Damage Lyrics
Body Armour
Geofri's SanctuaryGeofri’s Sanctuary is a fantastic defensive option for strength stacking builds. It will give us tons of energy shield and will be main reason behind the build’s tankiness.
Feeding Frenzy For Pc
It will be moderately expensive at the beginning of the league, but it should be affordable few days after the league start.
Get a rare energy shield body armour before you get Geofri’s.
Get a rare energy shield body armour before you get Geofri’s.
Gloves
Shaper's TouchShaper’s Touch is also an exceptional choice for strength stacking builds and it synergizes with our body armor really well.
It will be a while until you can get these gloves because Shaper kills do not happen for first days of the league.
It will be a while until you can get these gloves because Shaper kills do not happen for first days of the league.
Until you can afford Shaper’s Touch, any gloves with at least 80 life and some elemental resistances will do just fine.
Boots
Alberon's WarpathGreat boots for strength stacking summoner. Look for ones with 18% increased strength roll.
Left Ring
Rare RingLook for rare ring with at least:
60 to maximum life, 40 to strength and as much elemental resistances as you can find.
It’s great if you can find a ring like that with open prefix, so you can craft extra energy shield on top of it.

Right Ring
Rare RingSame as previously mentioned ring.
Amulet
AstramentisAstramentis is a great option for stat-heavy builds and this is not an exception.
It’s possible to get rare amulets that are better, but they will absolutely be more expensive. One example would be a rare shaper + warlord amulet that has increased strength and increased attributes mods.
Belt
Elder Crystal BeltYour ideal belt would be Elder Crystal belt with high life, strength and increased attributes mods.
Elder Crystal belts will be expensive, so Elder Leather or Elder Heavy belts would also be good, way cheaper options.
2Hand Weapon
2-Handed MaceFeeding Frenzy Or Minion Damage 1
Look for 2-handed mace with minions deal x% increased damage. Ideally look for Solar Maul because its implicit, but it’s not THAT important.
After that, using crafting bench, craft Minions have increased attack speed, minions have increased cast speed mod.
Jewel
Efficient TrainingMust have for strength stacking builds. We will need 2 of these jewels.
One of them goes into the jewel slot just right from the Instability node.
Feeding Frenzy Or Minion Damage 2
Another one goes into the jewel slot located between Elemental Equilibrium and Mind Over Matter keystones.
You should also look into new Delirium jewels, specifically Feasting Fiends and Skeletal Atrophy notables, they look amazing for this build.
Jewel
Rare JewelsWe mostly use rare jewels as a way to cap resistances.
Look for following stats:
1.) Increased maximum life
2.) To all elemental resistances / to fire/cold/lightning resistance
3.) Strength
4.) Increased energy shield

Path Of Exile Previews The Carrion Golem And New Support Gems Coming For Blight
Alongside the release of the Blight expansion, we’re introducing the Carrion Golem and a handful of new Support Gems that let you customise your minions.
Summon Carrion Golem
The Carrion Golem is a well-rounded attacker, using a rapid melee attack, a leap slam to get into the thick of combat, and a powerful cooldown-restricted multi-cascade slam. As its passive Golem buff, it grants added physical damage to all non-golem minions, including their attacks and spells. It has a unique feature among golems, gaining more damage for each of your non-golem minions around it, up to 80% more damage.
A single Carrion Golem fits well into established Minion builds as an extra bonus to all of your necromantic minions. It can also be invested in more heavily by taking various sources of additional golems (including a new notable passive) and using multiple golems alongside a swarm of zombies or skeletons.
There are also four new support gems that you can place on minions to change their behaviour and function:
Feeding Frenzy Support
The Feeding Frenzy support gem makes supported minions aggressive, increasing the range that they’ll seek out enemies. It also gives hits from the minions a chance to give you the Feeding Frenzy buff, granting more minion damage and increased minion attack, cast and movement speed. While you have the Feeding Frenzy buff, the supported minions deal even more damage.
Meat Shield Support
The Meat Shield support gem makes supported minions defensive, causing them to only attack enemies that get very close to you. It also gives the minions a chance to taunt on hit, reduces the damage they take, and causes them to deal more damage to enemies close to you.
If minions are both Aggressive and Defensive, those effects cancel out, returning the minions to their original behaviour. All other bonuses from the support gems still apply.
Deathmark Support
Feeding Frenzy Menu
The Deathmark support gem grants supported minions more damage, and grants you the Deathmark skill. Casting Deathmark on an enemy causes all minions supported by a Deathmark support to prioritise attacking the target, and gives them a further damage multiplier against that enemy. Casting Deathmark on a new enemy removes any existing Deathmark.
You can Deathmark to have precise targeting for specific minions, and the Deathmark targeting will override Aggressive or Defensive behaviour while it is active. The minions will fall back on their regular targeting if no Deathmark is present.
Different combinations of these three support gems let you use different minions for different roles. An example might be using your Zombies with Meat Shield to protect you, your Carrion Golems with Feeding Frenzy to clear groups of enemies, and the Deathmark Support on both of them so you can send all of them in after bosses while you evade the bosses abilities from a distance.
Infernal Legion Support
Feeding Frenzy Or Minion Damage Video
The Infernal Legion support gem causes supported minions to take a large percent of their maximum life as fire damage over time. They all gain a burning damage aura, dealing fire damage over time to nearby enemies. The effect doesn’t stack, but is modified by minion damage increases and other support gems.
This support can be used to deal damage to large groups of enemies, and is available at quite a low level, so is an alternative to Melee Splash for some minion types. It also works well alongside the Minion Instability keystone, letting you use your minions as walking time bombs.

We’ll be revealing further minion changes, including the new wand base type, Necromancer ascendancy, and passive tree in the upcoming teasers and news. In the meantime, check out a video of the new gems:
