Summoner and Poison Frog Servant

Necromancer
1

The summoner builds I have seen say to use the Poison Frog Servant but I really hate this frog. It sits behind me and keeps grabbing enemies from the front of my line and brings them to the back and half of my summons then follow.

I’m trying to decide which Witch Power to use instead of it. I currently have equipped:

Vengeful Spirit Servant
Aura Specialization
Aura of Siphoning
Grow
Soul Harvest

Any suggestions to replace the frog?

Yes I got rid of my frog for the same reason. Go with Hex of Whispering. Having the ability to ignore the Shadow Bosses in The Pit because HoW removes all debuffs is a godsend. I’ve always wished Blizzard would eliminate the Shadow Bosses; this is the first season where they can at least be ignored.

You could use Hex of Whispering or Twilight Warding.

I went through a few iterations, mostly with the unique witch power, the frog seemed crap to me while leveling as it just yoiked monsters out of my stack. I trialed it and dropped it.

Currently running:

  • Piranhado, I would run vengeful sprit if it did good damage or the circle if i needed healing
  • Grow - obvious
  • Soul harvest - obvious
  • Aura of siphoning - required for Friend of the bog and Piranhado
  • Aura specialization - additive crit damage and quality of life
  • Hex of shattering - required for Piranhado, could be switched out for Hex of whispers.

Gems are:

  • Toadling’s Wish - Grow goes from 45%x to 61%x, Soul Harvest can gain up to 64 stacks.
  • Friend of the bog - obvious, the int and life is huge
  • Moonlight ward - I’m not interested in pit pushing, this helps me to farm pit 100 and stand in all boss mechanics.

My picks are based on performance and quality of life, so if you just want to push damage you would probably be best off changing a few things like dropping moonlight ward for pointed finger or taking hex of whispers over hex of shattering.
