Hello,
This is my new build, a super tanky caster (summoner):

A short snippet:
Introduction
This is a guide on a strength-based, tanky caster (summoner: Earth + Nature) build. My goal is to build a super tanky caster and I had a lot of fun playing this class.
Why Nature and Earth for a super tanky caster build:
- Nature provides Heart of Oak skill tree which provides 85% health increase and 31% elemental resistance
- Nature has Plague, one the best debuffs in the game
- Earth has strong spells that do physical damages (Eruption and Volcanic Orb) which can be boosted by Strength and +% Physical damage, which means we can use Hale gears (+% Health and +% Strength) and other Strength-based gears that makes the character more tanky
- Earth has skills that boost physical damages, and Nature has Wolves which can boost physical damage that works well with the above Earth spells
Pros:
- Super tanky: easily get 20k+ HP and good resistances while having a very good debuff
- Very good AoE
Cons:
- Not the fastest boss killer

Looks interesting... out of curiosity, can I have a look at the gear of yours?
Among other things, I was wondering how high was your DA in the late stages.

lol i just wrote my mage summoner just recently

but mine is more balanced for offense and survivability.. yours look like super focused on tankiness.. hard to get 80% CDR for that without sacrificing something

@WNG: my gears are nothing special, here are what I was using in Act 5 Legendary:
Head: Hallowed green. Relic: Amun-Ra

Rings: Hale x2. Relic: Dionysus
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/incarnation-of-dionysus-wineskin
Weapon: Hector's Spear
https://www.tq-db.net/equipment/hectors-spear
Shield: Crest of Taurus

Chest: Armor of the Phantom

Arms: Stonebinder's Cuffs (with Amun-Ra relic)

Artifact: Symbol of the Polymath

Amulet: Myrmidon's Pendant

Leg: Athena's battle greaves

My DA is just 600 - 700, but I don't find it a problem for survivability, given very high HP and Plague debuff.
@botebote77: interesting build of yours :) yeah I didn't build a summoner specifically, I wanted to build a super tanky caster and this summoner build is what I found most tanky.
