The CovenantGreat offensive option that completely negates the need for mana regeneration, since we use Blood magic to cast SRS.
Gloves
Grip of The CouncilThese are really good gloves for most summoner builds, although they are not that cheap.
Alternative would be rare gloves with high life and resistances.
Boots
Rare BootsLook for generic boots with high life, 30% increased movement speed and some resistances.
Left Ring
Rare Coral RingLook for rare Coral rings with life and elemental resistances.
You could also use Essence of Fear to craft rings, giving your minions extra movement speed, but it will be more expensive.
Amulet
Rare Shaper AmuletLook for rare Shaper amulet with life and %reduced mana reserved. Resistances and attributes are great stats to have as bonuses.
1Hand Weapon
Crafted SceptreYou should look for rare sceptre with “%increased minion damage” mod as a primary one, and craft “Trigger a Socketed Spell when you Use a Skill”. That way your Offering skill will require no maintenance.
Later you can multimod it to also craft minion attack and cast speed.
Offhand
Victario's CharityGreat shield to boost damage of our minions even further with Frenzy and Power charges.
Jewel
Jewel SetupUse rare Abyss jewels and look for following stats:
1.) Minions deal #-# additional Physical Damage
2.) x% Increased Minion Damage if you’ve used a Minion Skill recently
3.) +x to maximum life
4.) Resistances / Attributes / Other minion damage stats
This build also uses unique jewel Careful Planning. Put it in socket which is located between Quick Recovery and Aligned Spirits nodes in the skill tree.
Flask
Flask Setup1.) Divine Life flask with instant recovery and bleed removal
2.) Basalt Flask with freeze removal
3.) Quicksilver Flask of adrenaline
4.) Blood of The Karui
5.) Silver Flask
