Looking for build help (duo'ing with an invoker)

Pretty much the title. I'm trying to plan ahead (have a few choices in mind just in case builds get nuked or what not) for 0.4. If something looks intriguing with a druid ascendancy I'll pair that with my buddy who is going Invoker. Otherwise, I'm trying to see if there are any particular builds that would pair well with a monk. I do prefer ranged over melee in general, and nothing involving minions. I despise minion builds.

I do have a few ideas so far, but I'm not sure how they pair with monk and/or scale as you get into maps, T15s, etc.

- ED/Contagion Lich
- Poison Pathfinder
- Frost Stormweaver (is there any way to improve visual clarity, frostbolts fill the screen once you get really going it seems like)
- Tactician (never played one, but I've been told they have some support skills that can benefit a party)


If anyone else has any ideas, I'm all ears. He will end up going flicker in higher tier maps, so I know I'll need some good boots to even remotely keep up.

Class means nothing, build matter. You can have caster invoker, 2 hand melee invoker or ranged invoker...

Planning for 0.4 doesnt make much sense as we will have again wild changes.

You can try make some "aurabot" summoner build that could support practicaly any build.

If he end up with flicker, you can try go for lightning warp with increased culling treshold that could keep up the pace by targeting/finishing enemies he wont kill. It might be intetesting duo.

Oh you're 100% right. Once the patch notes come out for 0.4, builds are just then theories. Some might be obviously good, but most are just a guess or speculation. So if I can have a few build ideas ready just in case then even better.
