[3.9] Pure Phys Skeletons & Friends Necromancer — Beginner/SSF/Budget Build

I need some advice.

I've got a spare slot in a 4L and I'm wondering what to use it for.

I'm running my skeletons on a 6L tab. I've got my zombies and golems on 4Ls. I've got CWDT setup on a 3L, same with Flame dash and spectres.

Should I 4L spectres with something, if so what would be good for the chieftains? If not would it go to CWDT? And if so, what should I slap in there?

So it seems like a lot of people are running Impale and Dread Banner, both of which are new to me since I haven't played in a long time. Is it worth it to give them a shot? What needs to change for them? Also is it worth taking Brutality out of Raise Zombie for an Animate Guardian setup? I feel like maybe throwing the animate guardian craft mod on a chest and saving for a kingmaker could do some real good work?

Slammed six Prime resonators with Jagged, Metallic, Corroded, and Shuddering onto ilvl84 convoking wands tonight and didn't get dick out of it. Why do I do this to myself?

Hard to figure out the build and real dmg because of all the skill dual imports.
Try importing again and tick "delete skills" and delete "equipment" when doing so.

Should be fixed now :O

First off. Your dmg is pretty good.

These are the imidiate upgrades I see.

1. Getting rest of gems in 6-link to 20/20 gets you to 177.000 skelly dmg.
2. Adomitable army on Amulet (or else your minions will eventually start dying in harder content - especially Golems).
3. Minion speed (22%) on rings and amu. Doesn't translate directely to more skelly dmg, but it makes you a faster killer, hence less chance of dying.
4.Another dust for your Ghastly eye jewel. Again, no dmg increase. But a faster killer.
5. Awakening Splash gem is pretty cheap if you use that for clearing (about 80c). So start levelling that.

Besides the above, it looks good. Good luck!

Can you guys check out my gear and tell me how good/bad my gear is and see what my next 3 big upgrades should be? Right now I did all maps from T1-3 with ease.

4.7k life, 315es, 1.7k mana

That sword is useless for minion build, it doesn't give anything to the minions. That's the first thing to replace. Get a minion wand or at least some cheap substitute with +1 to all spell gems.

Also - I've noticed that you don't have a Spectre gem.
2x Carnage Chieftains (frenzy charges generator for your minions) + 1 Host Chieftain (power charges generator for your minions) give min. ~30-40% MORE damage. So that's a must for this build.

Also you're not using Desecrate to generate corpses before cwdt triggers spirit offering. Get rid of Enfeeble, get Desecrate.

What about Cyclone/Spirit Offering setup that everyone is running now? Could be worth a try?

Hey Guys, Happy New Year!!!!

I started this league using this build and its going quite nice however i was hoping to get a bit more dps out of my minions. I've hit 92 so i've surpassed the guides Tree do the extra points i get go into minions dmg or similar or should i be aiming for another jewel node or life/mana? (Currently @ 5429HP and 2894Mana)

Some of my gems still need Q% and im working on leveling up some summon skele to try and vaal into 21/20 or 20/23 whichever is better

I have a mediocre budget i can work with nothing to flash i've listed my current gear below for you to ganger at. Cheers guys.

Crafting question: Is it possible to roll the Shaper's +1 active gems and the Warlord's +1 active gems together on a chest, resulting in +2 or are they mutually exclusive?

How do I even go about crafting +1/+1 wands like those I see in this thread? Is there some combination of fossils that I am unaware of?

I tried 6 times. Only got +1 to minion gems. Remember to use af lvl 84 Convoking wand if you wanna try.
