For BM damage. Best is Minion Damage or Increased burning damage. Fire pen doesn't work with them (quality'd firepen works but only because of the quality effect of inc burning dmg). I believe Minion life also increases their damage as unrighteous fire is similar to righteous fire minus the life loss. Increased AoE is nice too, I've read that Concentrated effect also works. Frankly I do a 4L Spec+Min dmg+Inc AOE+Min Life. They already do so much damage, I still want to try cull shit with my zombies. You can also run vulnerability and/or elemental weakness to boost their damage, though i sitll prefer defensive curses.
I wouldn't recommend using a searing touch either because frankly, focusing on your own tankiness is better. Not to mention you can trade some tankiness for IIR/IIQ on rings/amulets etc when you have a good shield and decent defensive weapon.
Levelling will always be slow until you hit high level zombies and spec/support gems. But now that everything I have is around lvl 19 (and a montreguls), I only get slowed down at boss fights on high level maps. Most creep mobs just die in a few seconds to BMs/Zombies.

How do you build that guy? Can you farm Dominus with that character? I'm trying to level a summoner, but its really slow. I've got a 5L Searing Touch-- does linking Spectre + Fire Pen + Burning Damage make the Burned Miscreation do more damage?
I run like 150iir on my Templar (and he's tanky as heck already), plus I get the extra iir+iiq (like 50/30?) when I cull bosses. I'd like to really crank up my MF to the point where when I kill a boss it looks like the Vaults map.
Also because I am a huge lore geek, I want GG to release a sword for Daresso because he's a badass, but it would probably be super GG and cost like 200 ex.

I personally was running an EK EB MFer; the gear requirement for EK is really low so it's easy to stack on MF, and I find it more fun than playing a summoner. I got to 200 rarity/43 quant pretty easily, and my clear speed on Piety was good.

I guess you shouldn't play the game for the first time with a Nemesis char, right 
. A small tip. Read up on how to do Act3 endboss. He is the real deal.
