Traditionally zombies are your meat-shields, so you want them to be linked with tanky things (though getting high levels on them is generally a priority, so you want to work towards a +2 minion helm and setting up a 4l ). That said, early on before you really get your other minions going you can link them with damage stuff like minion dmg, melee splash, added fire/faster attacks/multistrike etc. If I do summoner shenanigans I like to go oldschool and do a spell totem, summon skeletons, faster casting 3-link tho and use that to soak up damage and occupy big mobs  .For damage going summon-raging-spirits(srs) is probably the best. The links for srs can be messed around with quite a bit, but I think you do spell echo (to summon more of them), minion damage, multistrike, then I think melee phys and added fire??? Could be wrong - others might be able to suggest better~ Also for SRS it is fairly important to get the increased duration wheels near the scion starting area. Other important things for your summoner are to run desecrate (can leave it at level 1 and link it with spell echo and faster casting, to create more corpses) and use flesh offering on the desecrate ground (for flesh offering link increased duration). Also run wrath aura, linked to generosity if you aren't self casting dmg spells, just unlinked if you are self casting as well. Final thing, as sort of a luxury, run as many vaal hastes linked to increased duration as you can and use them when you fill up on souls. That should give you some things to work towards :D! Awesome thanks! Yeah, right now I pretty much 2-3 shot normal packs of monsters with freezing pulse, so I've primarily needed to use my zombies as buffers/ distractors against the occasional huge pack of stronger mobs to buy me an extra five seconds to mow down everything (and I've really only bothered to summon skeletons during the act bosses). Basically, I'll shoot a frost bomb as a countdown timer to see if I can clear the mob with freezing pulses before the frost bomb explodes, and I pretty much always can lol. I have extra unused blue slots in my gear though, so I'm leveling up my minion support gems even if they don't all currently link in nicely. I'll definitely look into those other gems/ spells you recommended; thank you!  | ||

But what he said is pretty much true for normal summoners who tend to go full summoner nodes with the rest in aura nodes and defensive stuff (Life or hybrid Life/ES or CI). | ||

Is there a penalty for dying? I just beat Dominus, and had no idea what to do during the final stage of raining blood... I died about five straight times but still killed him. Then I checked the forums and there's supposed to be some sort of safety bubble/ shelter where your life doesn't deplete during that fight? I never saw one ::shrugs:: | ||

Gladiator's bleed explosion thing among others apparently also has a loot bug.... I'm not surprised, I felt like that sometimes too. Well my Gladiator is history anyway, yesterday I was doing Izaro like 20 times and it had to happen: He one shotted me. I usually tried to evade his slam, and even when he hit me with it a few times, I survived. But this time he got me. Very strong character though, would play again (though not with the bug above). | ||

I'm of the understanding that a specific map area resets within 20 minutes or so of not being in the area anymore (and becomes newly unexplored), but when does the PoE "day" reset, with new labyrinths, etc.? In Eastern time zone, if possible | ||

I think it would be easier to look for the vaal side areas where the boss that you need appears. There the spawn is fixed, isn't it? Like Docks always has the same boss and I think the same goes for every other zone as well. | ||

For instance, in mud flats you can get the spectral throw guy with storm call or the crab with other allies cannot die aura. I have all but one of the boss (wiraq the impaler) mostly from farming sac fragments in the map device. If you stack some MF it's kinda okay in terms of loot too. Does the frametime trick still work when loading into a zone to check for corrupted areas? | ||

If you just need one boss (wiraq), I think not farming the zone for it (in your case Upper Sceptre of God) would be no good idea, but at least you occasionally get Midnight Fragments or decent Vaal Gems from the map device method. | ||
