[Ultimatum] PoE 3.14 Necromancer Summon Carrion Witch Budget Build
- + cheap compared to other Carrion Golem builds
- + fast
- + not so squishy
- + can clear all content
- + positive chaos resistance
- + 7000 ES
- + can play as STONE GOLEMS as well (if you wish)
- + NO awakened gems!
- + NO animated guardian (no need to worry if he dies!)

Is this PoE 3.14 With build really cheap?
I only started using Shav at level 85+ though and before that i used a 6L Ambu’s Charge which costs less than 10 chaos. Before that i used Cloak of Flame which was 6 chaos.
It can be even cheaper, but at the cost of Golem’s dps. I just wanted to achieve great balance and use only important stuff which gives highest necessary boosts, like clusters jewels and Anima Stone (i only added Anima stone at level 93). Shav is just the best option to reserve 2 more auras and get more damage without being wrecked by Chaos and poison degen.
I recommend buying shav from the cards and linking yourself. My total investment was 35c for cards and 400 fusings which i gathered while levelling and early mapping/heists. I recommend throwing all your fusing into shav and nothing else.
How does it work, in general?
Carrion Golems buffed with Impale, massive attack speed and different auras and buffs, like non-golem minions result in 6 deadly beasts with over 10 attacks per second and combined damage over 10 millions.
Zombies actually deliver about 500k DPS as well, despite being on 1L, just for Feeding Frenzy. If they die = you don’t care and bring them back. They are no meat shields.
Spectres are there for frenzy and power charges, as well as some protection.
Gems Setup

PoE CoC Mechanism
First of all, here's a great post explaining Cast on Crit Attack Speed and Cooldown Recovery breakpoints in detail: Reddit Post
The short version:
We get more than 12.12 aps because of Corpse Pact and so need at least 14% Cooldown recovery rate somewhere on our gear. The "easiest" (albeit expensive) way is to use an Awakened CoC Support of at least level 3.
Alternatively, you can get it on boots or belt slot.
I find that a 1.25aps staff (Replica Duskdawn :P) with onslaught and tailwind buffs will leave us with only a little wiggle room for extra increased attack speed stats with a maximum of 14% additional increased attack speed before breaking the 15.14aps limit. So try to avoid getting too much or your true DPS will suffer.
League Start
This build will be able to run maps very easily with just a tabula and rare staff.
Example of a SSF level 74 character: https://pastebin.com/ZMY4vfK5
Leveling with Stormblast Mines Orb of Storms until lv.24 get spellslinger
Leveling trees POB: https://pastebin.com/MdGD4wzc
This should give you an idea on how to progress the tree while leveling as spellslinger.
General Idea
For spellslinger you can start at 24 after the Tolman quest. Make sure you have alts to buy gems:
Spellslinger - Volatile Dead - Spell Cascade - Conc effect (4th Link)
Spellslinger - Desecrate - Spell Cascade
For wand attack you need to get a barrage from another player or after library quest.
Barrage - Faster Attacks
For extra damage:
Cremation - Combustion - Culling Strike
Spell Totem - Wave of Conviction
Make sure to have 2x level 20 wands from the vendor recipe. Ideally on Carved Wand bases (for higher attack speed, makes attacking smoother)
You need:
1x magic carved wand
1x orb of alteration
1x RARE Ruby Ring (make sure to pick up early essences to make a rare ring if no alchs available)
Make two of these, aug+regal if given the opportunity and then you can bench craft spell damage when that craft becomes available.
That should be pretty smooth sailing after that.
Socket Colors+Links to look for
B-B-B-G For VD
B-B-G For Desecrate
G-B for Cremation
R-B for Spell Totem + WOC
G-G-B for Smoke Mine+Flame Dash+Second Wind
Ascendancy: Commander of Darkness -> Plaguebringer -> Corpse Pact -> Mistress of Sacrifice
Pantheon: Lunaris and Gruthkul
Bandit: Help Alira or Kill All

Leveling Guide
1-35 - As witch we get access to a very good caster toolkit, so we will start off as a caster and switch to bow setup as soon as we unlock the library and get our first 2 ascendancy points.
Leveling spells below:
Option 1
Flame Wall + Kinetic Bolt + Holy Flame Totem // Dash movement or Frostblink
This is effective if you aim your kinetic bolts and holy flame totems through the flame wall
Add supports to the skills as needed
Option 2
Freezing Pulse + Holy Flame Totem + Raise Zombie // Dash or Flame Dash for movement
Freezing pulse is a great leveling spell as well as Holy Flame Totem as they do a ton of damage for little investment. Raise zombie with minion damage is fairly easy to upkeep as well :)
Level 35:
Trade League: Get a cheap unique bow, strongly suggesting STORM CLOUD, ROTH'S REACH, OR DOOMFLETCH
Non Trade League: Get the best bow you can, or craft a rare with decent damage
Complete Library quest to unlock vendor, and buy the following:
Burning Arrow, Lesser Multiple Projectiles, Added Lightning, Burning Damage, Elemental Damage with Attacks, Combustion
Link together BA + LMP + Added Lightning + Burning damage in a 4 link. If you dont have a 4 Link, remove Added lightning.
Buy Herald of Purity + Malevolence
Only put on one aura for now and use a mana flask to upkeep mana
(I would suggest malevolence)
Look for a pierce quiver or get a drillneck if you are trade league
IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU FINISH THE ETERNAL NIGHTMARE IN ACT 4, SWAP LMP OUT FOR IGNITE PROLIFERATION (vendor unlock from Petarus and Vanja)
Until you get awakened gems, your best 6 link (IN THIS ORDER) is as follows:
Burning Arrow - Ignite Proliferation - Deadly Ailments - Burning Damage - Elemental Damage with Attacks - Combustion
Ascendancy: Mastermind of Discord, Shaper of Flames, Shaper of Storms, Liege of the Primordial
Bandit: Kill all
Please take note that the End Game POB Bow and Quiver and some of the other pieces are END GAME, meant for after you have a ton of currency. you will not obtain that level of DPS until you build currency. There is a "budget" gear swap with Doomfletch and Drillneck, all you have to do is click the dropdown box where it says "Item Set" and click "Budget"

Leveling With No gear
If you are new to Path of Exile and/or starting with thousands of other players in a new league, you're starting with no items and no currency. Luckily for you, the build requires nothing to get going and is absurdly cheap even if you're switching to CI. Don't worry about unique items! My biggest recommendation is simply to save as much currency as possible for future crafting. Just move down a couple of sections and start with the Full Leveling Guide. Take your time and enjoy!
