Update - Added videos with new setup, chaos + bleeding hybrid, it has higher damage than pure bleeding.
Hello, it’s time for some pets now, with bleeding damage - I never fully made any bleed build because I am not fan of this damage type but for summoner it is working excelent. It even worked way better than I have expected. Main build use many buttons so I made setup for lazy players too.
Build
Bleeding
Main: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/4NOXaDO2
Lazy setup: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/M2gQ5GYZ
Hybrid
Main: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/qNYqlJWN -> slighty more damage than pure bleed due to skipping armor. Changed two rings, some skillpoints and devotion route. Totem can be taken instead of some points into Hellfire. It can do everything main build do, has same defense mechanics and pets configuration.
Lazy: https://www.grimtools.com/calc/1NXQGY82
Totem is no needed outside of very deep SR in practice so if you want one button less - take points into Mogdrogen’s Pact. Every build got own devotion route.
On lazy build I get rid of 3 active skills.
Itemization:
Armor + Helmet + Shoulders + Medal - full Beastcaller set, nothing to explain.
Weapon + Offhand - Salazar dagger because of additional pet which do a lot of damage. 2 Offhands choices are good but from my tests Bloodsworn Codex is bis due to 35% modified damage to Briarthorns and -8 sec recharge which is very helpful on deep SR and vs Callagadra. Second choice is Bound Wraith, I even made 1 second faster crucible run with it but due to better RNG, everywhere else it’s little slower.
Rings + Amulet - bleeding damage for our summons. Hybrid version use another rings for converting physical damage and skipping monsters armor.
Boots + gloves + belt - just bonuses for pets and additional survivality.
Pants - best damagewise pants excluding some godly double rares with pet stats. Mythical Runebrand Legwraps can be safer choice due to all CC resistances.
Relic - Swarms do more damage than anything else, absolutely BiS from my tests. Another choice can be Mogdrogen’s Ardor or Bysmiel’s Domination. Even Dirge of Arkovia if you wish to have huge skeleton.
Performance
Crucible 5:19 (bleeding) and 4:49 (chaos+bleeding)
SR 115 - bleeding and chaos+bleeding
Crate 23 seconds on pure bleed and slower run on hybrid setup due to bad rng
Ravager 1:22, similar time on hybrid but worse rng
Callagadra 3:27 on bleeding and 2:53 on chaos/bleed (gloves change for Everlivings for pierce res but no totem)
170ex naked 8:12 with hybrid setup
