Hi, Ghazzy. Why is clarity being used? im assuming for commander of darkness but i don't see it being used in the guide.

Clarity is an option if you run CoD if not, then it's wasted :)

I been looking for summoner build for 3.5 but I fear that the syndicate members just obliterates all minions? anyone have experience against them with minion builds?

What would be some good uniques to look for for this build until i get end game rares. Is there a variation if i do a 6L stafg instead of a mace and shield

NOTE - REMINDER - NOTE

Due to not being a full-time streamer it's impossible for me to keep up with answering all my guide threads, youtube, discord, pm etc etc so I will always answer questions on my YouTube videos but will not always be available via the forums!

Never heard of this issue before, could you perhaps pop in to my Discord or stream or comment on youtube and elaborate where/how they die, everyone I've talked to playing this build is saying that the minions are owning every Betrayal they come across.

This build is basically the Lich Queen but using a 2h staff "Soulwrest" :)

I found using build you post you will have 10 skel at the end(mage build)
But you said it should be 9 skel to only have mage skel is that right?

basic - 5
gravepack -1
death att -1
Lord of the dead -1
Bone sculptor -2

total of 10 skel

which node should i not take?

This build is confusing for mage skellies since you list:

Mage Skellies:

- Summon Skeletons, Minion Damage, Spell Echo, Greater Multiple Projectiles, Pierce, Iron Will
(If you don't have the Baron helmet, use Controlled Destruction instead of Iron Will)

Zombies & AG:

- Raise Zombie, Animate Guardian, Minion Life, Fortify


Spectres:

- Raise Spectre, Minion Damage, Increased Burning Damage, Elemental Foc


Solar Guards:

- Raise Spectre, Minion Damage, Spell Echo, Elemental Focus


Utility:

- Flesh Offering, Vaal Haste, Vaal Lightning Trap, Increased Duration

Utility:

- Convocation, Desecrate

Aura:

- Generosity, Anger // Clarity lvl 1 (can use higher lvl clarity when you're lvling)

Mobility:

- Leap Slam, Faster Attacks, Fortify





out of these 8 which do you have?

Video was made before they FINALLY fixed a bug which caused 10 skellies to be highly ineffective, the mechanics surrounding the bug is this:

Basically, the game calculated you to have 10 mage skellies which is the cap with that amount of those jewels. However, when you summoned again (hitting 11) which would replace the oldest skellies, the game basically stated that you already have your 10 mages on the field, so the next skelly you summoned would be a melee one, making the whole point of having 10 max skellies completely useless as you would "rotate" in a melee in the bunch which would be highly ineffectively supported by the build.

Since this has been fixed we are now able to kick ass with 10 mages :)

The guide does state that you should be using "Tukohama Vanguard" spectres instead of Solar Guards, I've gone ahead and made this a bit more clear in the gem link setup in the guide replacing the "Spectre" header for "Tukohama Vanguards (Spectres):" instead:)

Mage skellies + Tukoahama Vanguards = mage version
Melee skellies + Solar guards = melee version

Hey Ghazzy,
like ur build, wanna try the melee skeletons version mainly for bossing, especially uber elder but have some questions mostly about gear. Also watched the high budget video.
1. About 6 link skeletons, do u think empower lvl 4 would be better than added fire? checked in pob, gives more dps.
2. Do u think SGs would be good for uber elder fight instead of TVs? Cuz still want to do maps rly fast. I understand that TVs deal more boss damage.
3. About elder helmet. Does horror essence mod even affect spectres? Also, for TVs we need minion damage and burning damage and for SGs only minion damage right? And what are the links for pseudo 6 link helm for TVs?
4. Would u consider using incursion sceptre with minions deal increased damage and attack speed mods?
5. Do u think elder amulet with +1 skeleton necessary?
6. Do u think fossil crafted boots with +1 spectre would be better cuz more life, ms and res?
7. Do u think that empower lvl 4 would be better than zombies for AG to survive on uber elder?
8. Kaom's roots important for this build on uber elder fight? Or just personal pref?

also why u didnt include vis mortis in pob?
