WillBenetti: Build looks awesome, just wish you had shown it in action

axmix-0379: Love the build. One change i will be making is dropping oakensoul or maybe necropotence and swap for a 2nd 5 piece for the Hunger summon.

Shenvalleyboi: This is interesting, but still not enough summons on the map for me. I sacrificed using Oaken Soul to go with a two bar build to get the most summons currently allowed. I swapped out blastbones for Daedric prey (although I liked it, Daedric Prey does a nice chunck of damage itself, and boosts 3 out of 4 of my most damaging summons), because daedric prey effects summoned Daedra from the Sorc line, and also Daedra spawned from proc armor sets. I picked Skeletal Artcanist, and used the damaging Winged Twilight Morph for the semi executes, Violatile familiar for the roving aoe blasts, Blue Betty, and the eternal guardian bear for my skill summons. While not damage meta, I wanted to go with maxongoing summons, so I used Morkuldun for summoned sword, Maw of infernal for summoned daedroth which is also boosted by the daedric prey skill, I use unfathomable Darkness instead of Defiler (I know it's probably less damage, and it doesn't benefit from Daerdic Prey the way Defiler would, but I want summons on the map and the Defiler doesn't stay out long enough for me, and only summons 1 defiler at a time, so I went for theme, plus the four crows count as a single summons for purpose of the summon limit of 10, allowing me to have 13 actual summoned creatures on screen for my 10 summon limit, and I like my summons. Next I use the companion Zerith Var (Companions count as a summons for purpose of your summon limit, and so does their summons). Zerith has a skeletal summons skill of his own that i keep equipped. So my summons include: Twilight Tormenter, Volatile Familiar, Blue Betty, Eternal Guardian, Skeletal Arcanist, Daedroth, Flying Sword, Four Battle Crows, Zerith Var, and Zerith Var's Skeletal Healer, allowing me 13 total summons because the four crows are counted as one. Granted 2 of those summons are support summons who heal and remove debuff's, but still, that's 8, technically 11, summons, that still attack things while I stand back and zap things with that lightning staff to keep the proc summons coming, Daedric Prey Mark my targets, and roll a Mystic Orb bowling ball down the enemy line as often as needed. Zerith Var is also a really good Tank. You can get the taunt skill from the basic sword and board skill line, but then also add the area taunt skill from his armor that yanks in and taunts ranged attackers. I usually don' t even get to see when my enemies die. The summons just return to my side and there be corpses. I did slap blood thirsty on my jewelry, and weapon spell damage enchants, and buffed my weapon spell damage, penetration, and crit damage using champion points, and since I'm using two bars, I use the resto staff on the back bar with Combat Prayer for the heals, and bonus damage and resistance buffs to all my summons because nothing says loving like 13 summoned and procced creatures on steroids.

tellahane151: Drop oakensoul, pickup defiler with the maw as they both benefit from daedric pray, throw on mages guild inner light for more magicka and your crit buff, and that leaves you with 1 more utility slot/buff you can have like hardened ward for more survivability especially for your pets if they are taking aggro most of the time. just a thought anyway. Can also swap out inner light with 2 more flex spots if ya start to feel less lazy and more frisky.

vizzle89: I’d say just build the standard heavy attack build with sergeants a set of your choice and run the 2 sorc pets, you can add in skeletal mage/archer(aoe/single target), you can add in warden digging pet thing that gives major/minor breach with bear ultimate and that’s already 4 slots bear ultimate.

That leaves the last skill as a flex spot for Hardened Ward or another dps skill or another utility skill whatever you want to use really.

user-fc6hn8ph7i: Love your videos! Keep em coming bro please!

I was not too crazy about subclassing, but I did want to make a pet build just like this. I’m a console only player so I can’t test subclassing just yet, but do you think the sergeant’s mail set would hit better dps? I honestly was theory crafting this build but instead of using necropotence I had thought of using sergeants. Still thought of using oakensoul (my favorite mythic) and maw of infernal. Did u try it out on this same setup with sergeants before deciding on necropotence? Again I’m a console only player so I don’t have access yet.

plainluke722: Nice build man

I would push it even further by not taking the Warden class but instead taking Nightblade; swapping bear ult with storm atronach and taking the nightblade tree for the shade summon. In essence, swapping a permanent summon for two extra combat pets.

I'd also use any combination of the following sets Defiler/Unfathomable Darkness/Mad Tinkerer

klissattack: I think theres a special event going on for the Maw so for anyone who doesnt have it, now is literally the perfect time

eddardstark3774: perk wise i liked it but for sets i am using slimecraw pillar of nirn and orders wrath

what do you think? should i change it

umberbeast8345: I didn't think about the Betty Netch. Thanks, Spopes.

roberthardin5944: Personally on my zoo buil I'm doing Velothi Morkuldin(backbar) Unleashed Ritualist(frontbar) Maw of the Infernal. For skills it's cliff racer(spamable), blastbones, and mage on the front bar. While the backbar is wall of elements(for the enchant proc), betty, fetcher. And, the last three skills on both bars are scamp, matriarch, and bear.

OreoTheDJ: oaken soul holds this build back.

elaineauslander6282: Hi! I really enjoyed this, I'm definitely giving this a try! Probably a silly question...but how did you change the color on your pet to red? Thanks!

MatthewMehren: maybe Defiler instead of Necropants? I mean, it'd be one more pet appearing during a fight

clarkj3396: I'm doing a deadtric magic, animal companion, assassination build. Assassin for the crit/heavy attack. Personally dont like necromancer theme

jasonsnow1327: Defiler set also.

elifuenmayor8359: for the "combat rotation" can we actually see it on a dummy or some sort of gameplay next time please.

alanmccoal: exactly what im looking for lol

AlgorithmicHearts: Will people want me in dungeons??? Lol

TheAtlantaThrasher: I know it's not the most damage heavy build. I did virtually the same thing. But, I'm decked out in heavy armor to protect me. Me and my companion are both decked out in restoration staffs and the companion's skills are set to heals. It's gear is set for minimum cooldowns on skills, so it can keep pumping out free heals. I'm also an orc for the free healing on attacks. This way while me and my companion attack, we're also healing ourselves and the pets, while they're on the front row busting people up. I replaced the blast bones with Regenerative Ward, so that we all got shields for the longest time, while feeding me recovery. Hopefully, this leaves me just hitting people with heavy, healing attacks and just using matriarch in emergencies. I'm a noob though.

RevolverOcelot1976: How to get more pets out: Mad tinkerer set and defiler, infernal maw, morkuldin, chaos pure.

1848revolt: Why not a three piece set and one of trainee for the leftover 4 slots

knightzix_01: I want a companion we create as a character related to our character to enhance the role play like one you can. Create is a spouse another a sibling or a parent more creativity in the game the better

WintersFinalstand: Isn't oakensoul like..really hard to get?
