pvp summoner question

Im gonna duel most high defence chars in the area of 60k def.
My question will lvl 47 skellies + how from whisp + infinity merc (blessed aim)
be enough to make my skellies hit a char with that high defence ?.
Also.. wich attaks exactly does minion stack "absorb", i know hammer and physical attacks, but what about tornado, ib, lightning, blizzard, charged strike etc, pls tell me about ur experiences with this.
thanks in advance.

Doesn't sorb tornado,fireball,light?
I witness it sorbing blizzard and lightning? and charged strike

You are naturally weak against splash damage and assassins with mindblast(Ghosts mainly)

Summoners in pvp are bm so expect some responses after

youll like get bmed by summoner haters.

the only class that can reach 60kdef is smiters built around exile and etreks etc and i dont know why youd want ssummons to fight smiters.

 

[battledroid]

its both smithers and barbs ill try with, both with 60k def ( barbs with lvl 53 bo and eth sacred stone etc)
and there is no such thing a bm since i play hc

u sure it dosnt sorb tornado, i mean when u can block tornado i would think that summons would take the damage for me too, but u could be right

Minion stack can sorb nados, bone spears, lightnings, etc.

Your minions won't ever hit 60k def people with any regularity. Just pretend to be retarded and let them start zealing or smiting or whatever and cast some maiden on them real smoothly . Works in softcore at least. My summoner also had nova + fg, that works decently also.

i know they wont hit 60k def chars, that is why i added infinity + blessed aim merc + how, since infinity lowers defense and the 2 others increase minions ar, but im still not sure that its enough to get them to hit :
that is why that i hoped that someone tried simular set up vs high def chars

 

[battledroid]

I just checked and see that infinity with lvl 12 conviction lowers defence with 83%, so a char with 60k def will have 10k while under the effect of conviction.
Will my skellies be able to hit then ?
just used the necro pet calculator, and see that my skellies will have 11300 ar, if that helps u to tell me if they hit

 

[DayDream]

I'm pretty sure it doesn't sorb nado because I just died a few seconds ago by a telestomp when I had udar revives.

Tornados are just like lightning bolts from souls. They penetrate through minions.

 

[battledroid]

as a follow up, ill say that my summoner got lvl lvl 49 skellies with a total of 72 minions.

your "best" bet vs phys damage chars is to just Iron Maiden the opponent and watch them instagib themselves on your minions.

it's only if they manage to namelock YOU with a single-target attack (smite/conc/'zerk) that your in trouble.
