[3.9] Pure Phys Skeletons & Friends Necromancer — Beginner/SSF/Budget Build
|
I'm late starting the league as I was on holiday, so still only levelling through the acts, but so far it's the safest, smoothest non twinked levelling experience I think I've ever had. Actually it's smoother than most of the twinked ones too. Kind of wish I'd started SSF as it has such low gearing requirements.
First time a summoner build has felt like the old Diablo 2 fishymancer build I used to play. I might even sub in some self curse action if I can spare a socket to feel even more like it (Even if not needed/efficient). Carrion golems do seem super strong/overtuned. If they weren't quite expensive atm I'd be tempted to run a primordial chain for extra golems for clearing. | |
" Just want to say thank you for this incredible build. It is among the most efficient and works very well with any gear as long as you follow the description. Just a funny story here: I was playing along very well without any special equipment and then, a couple of items dropped that just very much match this build (at least currently in act 6 without too strong resistance penalties): I know, the 2H and the shield won't go together, but still: thank you RNG! |

looking at some other peoples profiles, a lot of players seem to have ditched melee splash for Multistrike, at least for endgame. Anyone played around with this? I guess it covers some of the clear issues, while being more single target?

" Excactly! viperesque wrote it in the guide but some of his gems are just lvl 20 without %. I am just curious if there is a reason for it. Last edited by Steve_H on Sep 16, 2019, 5:50:41 AM

I don't know if it has been asked before but is it worth spending 4 passives to get +1 curses? I would probably be using vulnerability-enfeeble-curse on hit- storm brand.

The build is great, ty mate! I have question, is there any mob that generate undurance charges for my scpectres?

" Yes, exactly. If your skeletons are doing stupid amounts of damage, your singular hits end up being wasted on overkill damage. If you can instead split it into multiple hits you can essentially double the amount of mobs your skeletons kill, while not sacrificing any DPS for single target. Multistrike is a hair less than 60% more DPS as a support now, after the changes. El Psy Congroo. Last edited by Patchumz on Sep 16, 2019, 12:28:31 PM

Multistrike cannot support Vaal Skills, so you would have to lose Vaal Summon Skeletons.
If I switch, I have 12 Skeletons at the moment with Multistrike all doing 403k DPS each. (Shaper Guardian/DPS) Skeletons: 435k x 12 = 5,220,000 Zombies: 46k x 10 = 460,000 Carrion Golem: 46k x2 = 92,000 Spectre: 46k x4 = 184,000 Phantasm 23k x 10 = 230,000 Total: 6,186,000 Information just from PoB, so may not be 100% but close.

" It just doesn't work with the Vaal Version of the skill which means 6-Link Skeletons and 5-Link Vaal Skeletons if you use. Melee Splash VS Multistrike is less Area Damage while more single target DPS and Multistrike also attacks other valid targets in range I guess without investing into Area Damage for Minions Multistrike is the better " Hairy Bonecrusher for Enduring Cry or Oak's Devoted/Fists for Warlord's Mark (both Act 2) Last edited by kodosderhenker on Sep 16, 2019, 2:39:14 PM
