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

Holy shit the acid caverns boss with the "enemies fire two additional projectiles" mod is absolutely batshit crazy. I don't have kingmaker and my AG is in the zombie link together with a minion HP gem and a belly of the beast, and it's the only time where I saw him dip dangerously low. I wouldn't have cared that much if he died because he has budget items but holy crap the ability spam on that boss is unreal. I played that map multiple times, corrupted with other nasty mods and the AG didn't even flinch, but give that dawg multiple projectiles and he wrecks your army.

Also, for whatever reason, I had humongous lag during the last phase of the Sirus fight. I never had that happen before. Could it be because this time, I fought him with 2 extra minions(A skelly and a zombie that I got from increasing my gem levels through buying a +1/+1 wand). My brain refuses to accept that two minions on the screen make a huge difference but my frame rate was murdered and so was I. Whereas in my previous 5 Sirus kills I had nothing of this sort happen.

About the Doryani jewel, does it matter which one I buy? Different jewels have different "stats", for example:

Bathed in the blood of 4626 sacrificed in the name of Doryani Passives...
Bathed in the blood of 6718 sacrificed in the name of Doryani Passives...

Are they all the same?
Greets all!

Hoping somebody can answer a question or two from a newbie summoner. I'm playing HCSSF so all this fancy stuff is currently out of my reach heh. When you don't have any of the nice stuff and just basic rares and self made lower tier stuff I'm curious which auras are best, I see everybody is using Pride. I used pride for a bit but switched to Hatred/generosity as I didn't feel confident enough in my survivability to sit on top of mobs and could easily see the radius of hatred etc. Also I am using War banner vs dread.

I guess my question is: Is pride/generosity significantly better than hatred/Gen? Considering not having any of the top kit, if it matters. Sometimes some buffs are more effective than others at different gear levels. I'd swap back if so. And is the dread/impale setup quite a lot better as well? I guess it must be if everybody is using it hah.

Thanks all!

The sacrificed number indicates the changes the jewel does to your nodes that it converts. Basically, every jewel changes those nodes in a different way. What is always consistent is the keystone that you get from the Doryani jewel but no two jewels will be alike when it comes to the other stuff they change. For example I may have some useless spell-related nodes, while somebody gets cool resistances or minion-related stuff. So yeah don't worry about that number too much. There is no real way to know what you are going to get.
i used this guide last patch and start playing with this this season. now i look into this thread again and WOW so much going on... can someone pls give me a TLDR what is now the main build and what is side specs? the thread is a mess to follow. the forum needs a better search function

"standart" 6 link is now with impale? what are the single target and aoe gem setups?
we still use spectre with frenzy and power charge buff?
how come dreadbanner etc come into play? any other offensive defensive auras?

what is this 3 offerings setup?
i saw animated guardian somewhere, sounds interesting which build uses it?

It's overwhelming to see all thoses pages right? lol

But don't worry, there is a very good resume at page 270.

Good luck!
So i am a bit confused here and am hoping someone can help me out.

I have awakened generosity linked to dreadbanner but i can't see any change to the impale effectiveness when i put it in.
Impale effect stays the same regardless of generosty being slotted in or not.

So are we using generosity purely for the increase to dreadbanner area of effect or is it actually bugged?

First thing you want to get is a six link chest piece. What your looking for in a chest is 6 link with 100 life at a a minimum. If you can afford it also on the chest look for a % maximum life roll for even more life and also a open prefix for crafting +1 to zombies and skeletons when you unlock the craft.

Then you want to get new gloves for a at least 70 life roll. Don't forget to max your resists at 75 also.

Then if enough currency left over look at get a +1 minion skill wand to replace one of your wands.

Get those taken care of and it should last you into red maps where you will want to save even more to buy the higher priced items.
Loving the build :) My AG has died twice today to Metamorph!!! Using budget gear. Second time out was first map out with new gear :(. Watch out for the metamorphs. Using MOM but not seeing much desecrate from AG. Might try the other chest instead.
