Hall of Grandmasters as summoner doable ?

Hi all,

I tried Hall of GM today, and gave up after 30 minutes, which were all spent resummoning my minions, sending them in, having them die in microseconds, and start the pandemonium all over again..

So, no Hall of GM for my character, because since my only damage comes from minions, I simply cannot do it, so it seems.

Any ideas ? Although the chances of another map dropping for me are slim.


P.S. my toon is a lvl 93 Necromancer, mainly according to https://odealo.com/articles/zombies-skeletons-necromancer-summoner-build

SRS can do it if linked with Block reduction and possibly MI. Will need swap baelfire for the 2 tanks in the maps.

I did it with Summon phantasm too but it s more tricky than SRS.

Skeleton MI are also ok in this map but you might be offcreened by Danzig and other ranged before they pop.

So.... answer is yes but need MI and block reduction gem in your setup.
zombies and specters are rekt tho.

Following your build to the letter he won t pass HOGM unless you explain him how to switch setups VS blockers and how to avoid herald of ash players.

Hey :)

You can do HoGM with pretty much any summoner build if you use specialized items. Here's my older video about how it did it :

You basically need 2x one hander weapons (Prefer the high block chance daggers) that are crafted with essence of horror. They both summon 3x lvl 20 permanent, immortal Summon Raging Spirits. They get the support gems in the daggers and are very agressive.

Their DPS is abysmal in normal maps, but HoGM enemies have 3-10k EHP compared to millions of real endgame boss enemies, so they can kill Grand Masters really fast. They can't be killed, so you never have to resummon them.

With the weapons you need way to keep yourself alive. Temporal Chains on blasphemy works well, Aspect of Spider also and high block / dodge chance.

You can pretty much forget about all other minions if you don't like summoning them each wave. The crafted weapons are however ONLY good it HoGM, but they are the best way to do it solo imho.

There are few Grand masters with Cast when damage taken setups that are not killable with hitting skills. for them unsummon the SRS by taking daggers off and use 3-4 link Scorching Ray self cast as it wont hit the GMs and cause CWDT to go off.
