Thanks for the guide, I followed your build on Tactician, it works well.
I was initially hoping to do both wolf minion + suppressing fire, but wolf end up doing a lot more than I was hoping for

the banner minion zealot life regen with weapon swap is very important for countering the berzerk life loss, also I don't have any persist minion, so gigantic following negative effect is not doing anything.

another thing I learned is that those pounce wolf minion snap shots, so you want to swap to your damage weapon set before using pounce.


just as a summary:

- this is indeed a solid build able to clear almost all content with ease
- wolf minion can die to boss mechanic (arbiter donut) even if you wear the belt + flask combo(bug) which sucks a little, but you can still summon them back relatively fast
- this is not a build for buffed up temple, wolf can get stuck in previous rooms, and the damage is not quite there to clear fully build temple.

I am having a lot of fun with this build, so if there's anything else I can do to make this build better, plz let me know


I'm also going down this route, but I'm less familiar with some of the details. Looking at your POB, I see you have way more Spirit Reservation than you should have available. Do you use different reservations on different sets? What's the thought behind this?
Yep, I have time of need, berserk and war banner on weapon set 1 only, banner zealot on weapon set 2 only. and I have roar on weapon set 2, so whenever I roar, I get a banner down to regen my hp. and I will use weapon set 1 shred to switch back to weapon set 1 for damage

Do you actually have Wolf Pack enabled on either set then? And if not, what's the point of that link? Do those supports somehow impact your pounce wolves?

Edit: I see that you aren't even running Wolf Pack, so I guess this is more a question for other builds I see that are running it, are they only running it on one swap.

As suggested by Cantrip's wolf minion build, minion level is very important for minion damage, therefore pounce minion does way more than wolf pack minion (with +7 from talisman, +2 from gloves), so wolf pack is optional, you can run it over other spirit gem, but if you are using giganitc following notable like my build it will cost more than 60 spirit.

I also think that wolves make good companions.
Great build ! Playing it Hardcore with a merc, it's a blast for now.
I ran this build from 1 to 90. Its pretty rough at the start but after cross-slash is available, its much smoother. I ended up switching the wolves spirit gem for tame beast instead and got a haste aura mob which seems to work great.
