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

Don't hesitate going for animate guardian (on zombi setup, remove brutality).

Even the cheap version is insane in term of QoL, dps and survivability.

Cheap version including gem (20/20) starts at 20 chaos.

I'm testing it in difficult map setup and bosses before buying the 150+ chaos items that boost it even more to be sure it doesn't die.
So far doesn't die on sirus 8,guardians,buffy t16, metamorph.
Even when sometime I get recked or even loose zombie boys.
What about the Doriyani Jewel? Does it make any difference which is the numbers of seeds?

Don't understand those at all xD
So decided to piss away chaos on my Animated Guardian which I have apparently been attached to :)

So he got a Gruthkul's pelt (160c) - 15% size increase=win
Bonehelmet with 20+20 minion damage - no more invisible face=win

Edit: on second thoughts I don't believe 20+20 minion damage on helmet does anything, since the guardian is not in a party with us. Bummer. Truely pissing away c...Lol

I think Summoner is the best budget build to kill him :D Now with new patch, the storm will not chase you anymore.

1/ Try to cap 4 all res >75% (fire,cold,light,chaos). Cap chaos res in this league, I think it's very important.
2/ Upgrade your item with more life.
3/ Your passive tree, near node "Righteous Decree". reduce mana skill?? Use these point to get more jewel socket or life
4/ Vaal Sum Skeleton 21/0 give more damage than 20/23.
5/ With my setup spectre (3 spec), I will use 1 frenzy, 1 power, 1 curse Enfeeble. When I use spec cast this curse, I will get free 3 socket on second wand. Then use aura : Flesh & stone ( stand for def, blood for atk) - Generosity - Dread Banner
6/ Your flask. Use 1 bleeding, 1 freeze please
7/ I think link Carrion golem with Culling Strike, instead of using Brutality, will help you to kill boss faster

So below is what I'm working with. I'm currently sitting on 6ex. I don't want to spend it all but I would spend another 2 or 3 if I could get some significant boosts. What would you all recommend.

So to get this right if you die the AG wont affect right? Its only when the guardian die

Edit:

@Solanales i assume you are have kingmaker in your AG how come you are still running culling strike on your golem?

I have a few questions:

1. If I can raise 4 spectres, what would you suggest I raise? The carnage chieftan is obviously one of them, what about the other 3?
2. Is 5.5k life "enough" for all content? I'm not entirely comfortable with my life, but I'm struggling to find more.
3. Would you make any changes to my build and gem link setups?

Anyone care to tell me what I should upgrade next?


Also how do I stop desecrated ground from removing the monkey that gives my minions frenzy charges for raise Spectre?


In order :

1. Get a better amulet and anoint Indomitable Army, that would be your easier upgrade.

2. To dust jewels.

3. Helm upgrade - For the easy 20% increased damage "Bone Helmet " would be a good upgrade.

4. Wands with +1 either minion / spells would be very good even without the damage boost. You could probably craft damage boost and if you cannot find a cheap one with whatever you need free you can beast craft cheap a prefix to suffix and viceversa. Of course you will lose the attack speed but it's the budget version.

5 . Better rings with either Chaos res or Minion speed.

6 . Gloves with minion damage enchant on them.

7 . A stygian vise belt could bring you the benefit of having a minion damage boost from jewel ( x% damage if you have cast a minion spell recently)

Also you are level 64. And missing To dust Jewels great damage boost.

Keep leveling up and worry about the gear once you hit maps.

I would take it in the order above , but Helm / To dust / Amulet , wands could bring you the best benefit.

Of course enchant on gloves would give you some damage boost there.

You are playing on PS4 do not know the market or prices there.

Also , why did you take 30 strg and 30 dex nodes on tree ? You don't need to level your CWDT from Level 1. It's there for a reason to always be triggered and having the spirit offering up.




Okay, I've upgraded some gear and I couldn't annount my amulet yet though. I will be replacing my boots soon. I'm trying to figure out why I have 3.4k life. I know life on my gear is kind of subpar but I feel 3.5k is particularly low. My damage is completely fine and in fact at level 72 I ran tul and got a pandemoniois, sold it for 6ex so I can get some upgrades now. Any advice? My psn is Scarlettsdadio and my char name is Arcsahoy. Thank you in advance. Still also need to get rid of the dex and str node as well.

Host Chieftans to give power charges (Act 7 Ashen Fields)
Ruins Hellions for taunting enemies giving extra damage and less damage taken (Act 8 The Quay)
Diabolist for cursing enemies with Enfeeble (Act 1 Upper Prison).


Buy Vaal Sum Ske 21/0 to give more damage
