Learned a whole lot over the last few days, from this thread, other forums, the Build compendium to name a few, and am thinking a whole new route of a basically same idea, and was wondering if anyone of y’all might know an answer, point me in the right direction what not…
So the Ritualist Idea is at heart what I am looking for in the character, has access to that Lightning build, even if it drops off by late game, and I must go savagery, that is fine. but I think the heart was the my character as a Melee fighter with Minions. So Minions from the Devotions Revnant and Unknown Solider have caught my eye. In Fact this trickster build here ( [1.1.4.2] (2H Melee) The King in the North - 2H Melee Trickster, superboss killer [c+] [sr] ) I think hits the nail on the head for what I am trying to accomplish, with some 8 pets that are based off my character and not “pet stats”, keeps that necro fill by raising 6 skeletons, all be it temporarily, and is all about the lightning and cold 
and will most likely be the build I am going to follow, but before I sink my teeth in and run with it, there was a set of Gear I came across, the Blood Knight set ( https://www.grimtools.com/db/itemsets/140 ) granted I know this set is built for a Death Knight ( a class I seriously considered, but lacks access to Lightning build) What I love about this set is how many more uber pets it would add.
My question thus is, is there a class build + item set that has either the Revenant and or Unknown Soilder, the set itself adds more summons, and keeps that Shaman part for lightning?
I guess what I am trying to accomplish is that trickster inside the blood knight set with the Unknown Solider devotion :P. Is there anything like that I have overlooked or is the King of the North my best option for a Hard hitting, hard to kill, pet summoning, lightning cold death knight like guy?
Oh and 2 other side questions, can anyone wear Blood Knight Set, or do you have to be a Death Knight, like is gear class specific? And which is better, reverent or Unknown Soldier as far as pets are concerned? It looks like U.S. shadow pets will heal you, so I am likeing those guys more o.O
Million thanks in advance, finally zerioing in on what Ima chase down in this game. Y’all fantastic!
