CasualDan's Minion Army Necromancer Gear (PoE Settlers of Kalguur)
The Gear
This a league starter that mostly uses cheap rare items with Life and Resistances. We are also using a few cheap unique items that you can add later.
Rare Pieces
For the Rare Pieces we’re gonna use:
| Amulet | Life, Resistances and Stats | Rare |
| Chest | Armour base with Life and Resistances | Rare |
| Gloves | Armour base with Life and Resistances | Rare |
| Boots | 30% Movement Speed, Life and Resistance | Rare |
| Wand | Trigger wand with a little bit of Minion Damage | Rare |
| Shield | Armour base with Life and Resistances | Rare |
| Ring 1 | Unset ring with Life and Resistances | Rare |
| Ring 2 | Unset ring with: Life and Resistances | Rare |
| Ghastly Eye Jewel | Minions deal xx to xx additional physical damage | Rare |
| Ghastly Eye Jewel | Minions deal xx to xx additional physical damage | Rare |
| Small Cluster | 2 passives with Increased Armor and Enduring Composure | Rare |
You can get 60 DEX from the tree by speccing into Agility and Expertise but spec out of them once you get some stats on your Amulet and Rings. Also don’t forget about Practical Application which gives 20 to STR and DEX, and 10% to all elemental resistances. Really useful at league start.

| Head |  Maw of Mischief |

| Ring |  Profane Proxy |

Do not skip the 2 Unending Hunger because these are gonna make your Specters attack really fast and you’re gonna fly though Atlas Progression. Once I get these 2 I usually complete all white and yellow maps in 1-3 minutes. They do pack quite a punch and are really important.
The Asenath's Gentle Touch and Profane Proxy combo is gonna greatly improve your clearspeed. Don’t forget to spec into Spiritual Aid! In the first few days of the league these items are a bit expensive at around 100 chaos each. Wait a little bit if you don’t have enough currency and go for some rare items with life and resistances. After a few days they usually go down in price to a few chaos orbs each.
Maw of Mischief is used to make the minions aggressive by default. It’s quite an expensive item for the first few days of the league, but after 5-6 days it usually goes down in price to around 10-20 chaos. Until that point, you can use a rare helmet with life and resistances.
!!! Be careful with Death Wish (the Skill Granted by the Maw of Mischief) since that skill could destroy your A.G. Take it off the skill Bar, and never use it !!!
