OTHER


Defensive skills: Molten Shell, Tempest Shield, Immortal call, Bear Trap etc. - all defensive skills are okay

Skeletons: Because of Summon Skeleton's unique interaction with Dark Pact, you can use a 4-Link Summon Skeleton NOT Vaal Summon Skeleton, with any of the following support gems (Fortify, Minion Life, Minion and Totem Elemental Resist, Spell Totem, Empower). With or without summon skele, Dark Pact use is very low.

Golems: You can use any of the three golems listed above in any way you choose. However, Ice Golem and Flame Golem may only be unlinked, or linked to defensive support gems (like minion life) or CWDT.

Heralds: This was a big oversight last time! You may use any heralds so long as they are unlinked (Enlighten Support being the only exception). Banners have the same rule (you can use Generosity with banners).

Other Exceptions: corpse creation skills, offerings, auras, curses, support gems and skills (molten shell, warcries, blood rage, arctic armor, etc). counterattacks (these CAN be linked to damage supports if you choose), non-damaging totems, and movement skills (except cyclone, consecrated path, and flicker strike). You can use Ancestral Warchief totem for the buff only (i.e. unlinked).
