I just got them from a nice dude in his hideout from desecrate and now I got them in my desecrate pool as well. Pretty nice, they spawn at least once in every cast of desecrate.

If one needs, just pm.

I posted about my skeleton build earlier this morning, check a few pages back. 5-8m DPS 19.5k ES (now 23.7k with watcher's eye)

I will create a new experimental section with Animated Guardian, Skeletons and Herald of Purity.

I think storm brand or tempest shield will be the best way for you to trigger elemental equilibrium. I guess flame dash into groups works too. Frost bomb will reduce your damage by a lot.

Punishment is way too overstated as the bulk of the damage buff happens when your skeleton takes a melee hit from cursed target . . .

Yea I took out frost bomb based on your comment, totally made sense. I added clarity to the build now though since I got a watchers eye, not really sure what I could dump for one of those options. Mapping I don't worry about EE, I only use it for bosses.

Edit.. could remove CWDT, I manually cast Vaal molten shell for bosses anyways. Hmm

Hi any ideas what I should upgrade next? I have no issues getting awakener 6 and 8 to the last phase but fights get too long due to a lack of dps and I lose the portals.

Likely due to me not being familiar with the fights but are there any changes I should make?

Most common mistake is to NOT face tank him in last phase. Just pop vaal molten shield / molten shield / all flasks and face tank him.

Empower 3/4 will help a lot as well.

Killed Uber Elder today, was pretty easy, did die once due to a stupid mistake.



Drops, not too shabby at least, could've been better, but eh.

I am sure there is consistency in this fight and that the stupid storms follow some fancy mechanic. But on my very first attempt to the fight with this build (my fourth in total) I had him almost down but gut stuck for some reason in his bone circle or what ever that is and died to the damage of that and his beam afterwards.

The build is tanky af (just got my leathal jewel a few minutes ago). If I did not die to those storms (I did not figure out how to delegate them so that I can find sirius again). I constantly die to them, not to him. He is just an ez boss, especially with this build. Deadeye (ice shot/barrage) and Hierofant (ele hit totem) need way more movement (my gear on those builds was not even close to the level I have for guard).

In summary I think it is pretty poor implementation.

Can someone point me in the direction to reach around 16k ES?

Other than levels, am I missing anything?

I plan on going the rare boot + unique belt eventually.

Yes.

You can also grab them from your desecrate in your hideout, but if you happened to kill them (like a weapon swap) and log out you can always return to the primeval ruins and get them again even if you cleared out all the nodes in the area. You just have to go there and desecrate.

You should be able to hit about ~15K once you get more points from leveling. A good crystal belt upgrade with defense catalysts will probably push it up to ~16K. Watcher's eye will give you another ~3K.
