Hopefully not presumptuous of me to answer but I was unable to get double rare on the amulet and also on the belt. Build did fine winning all Act bosses in Ascendant mode, beating Dread, and beating Mogdrogen 2.0 (in Ultimate). No problems whatsoever.
Reason for lack of double rare is that I burned through all of my Ashes and never could get that second affix on each item. I crafted the belt until I had one affix already and the amulet dropped with one of the affixes already. Probably the best way to go is to start out rerolling with one of the affixes if possible.
Yeah, I came up to that conclusion as well. You farm the item with one of the affixes that you need, and start rerolling the other one. In the rerolling process, your item (if it’s not already) should become a double rare just through rolling. And then you just keep rerolling it until it gets too expensive, then if you didn’t roll it, just sell it and start farming again. That’s how I got all the affxies and double rares I wanted but it burned through a lot of iron bits.
At the minimum, you want to farm up a Korvaak Burning Blade to convert Briarthorn damage into fire. Other than that, you should be able to more or less respec into the setup from the get go since the idea is just fire pets. May want to get Familiar as well though since without Beastcaller set, you will be low on pets.
That said, this is still going to be my recommendation for any pet conjurer before you have an endgame set - Dark Rose - Lazy Dark One’s Set Budget Pet Conjurer (but that has to do with my obsession with laziness)
It does not need the double rares per se, but the build was created just for Uber Nerfatal and without the bonuses from those MIs, that particular boss will be harder.
But if you ignore its existence, can even do without any MIs.
The difference is that GT shows Poison Resist as 25% because it only has 8/21 buffs up and running, not 21/21 and 75% over capped as on the screenshot.
Is mostly like flavours of ice cream.
They are all strong and will perform fine. In most cases, they even play the same. For example, a bleed beastcaller vs fire beastcaller vs cold beastcaller is essentially the same pets and same playstyle with just different damage types.
What you want to look for however is the exact pet used, the class combo and things like devotion setup.
For example, a Chaos Skeleton Cabalist plays differently from a Fire Hellhound+Briarthorn Conjurer.
