I regretfully have to record the end of my dual Arc totem summoner witch's time in the Hardcore league. She died to me panicing under an unfortunate fact of life for summoners, you just don't have enough buttons to do everything you want. I decided that I would try to kill Piety before switching back to my low life Witch. Everything was going fine until I got to the bottem level of Lunaris. I had just gotten started when a rough fight with Tentacle Miscreations had wiped out most of my zombies and spectres. I switched action slots to revive more zombies when more Tentacle Miscreations attacked from the other direction. When I tried to move out of the line of fire, I went nowhere because I foolishly used my move button as a temporary home the Raise Zombie skill. Then I hesitated about what to do. If I had immediately lightning Warped, or immediately gone for Alt-F4, I probably would have been fine. Even summoning skeletons to use as cannon fodder might have given my a moment to collect myself. By the time I settled on Alt-F4 it was too late, but probably not by much. I thought I saw the Resurrect button, but I wasn't 100% sure until I restarted the game and saw my character listed in Standard League.
I'm really torn about what to do next. I wanted to see how the character would do mapping. While it wasn't a super strong build for leveling, I think it should start to do better as the minions come much more into their own at higher levels. An idea occured to me while writing this which was to grind out a level in the docks, then try for a Piety kill again. Assuming I survive that, move into mapping with the understanding that the character is going to be deleted if she dies again. It sounds like there should be some substantial improvements for summoners in the POE 2.0, so I'm OK with trying a new summoner after that goes live.
