Build Guide

i've tried some of the "best builds"' i could find around, but none has matched this one, when you end up with 3 Gargantuas, 5 dogs, 8 fetishes and 15 sycophants, with Jade lvl 2 and Zuni lvl 6 combined. that and 7 ancient items augmented with the cube (+260 intelligence each).

oh one last thing: my pets never die (except the sycophants, of course)
