@shaob - Two +1/+1 is really strong. I'll be going for one of those expensive ones in the PoB as my next major purchase.

@Imiona - I turned off sound just for that dumb spectre lol. Now that it's gone I have sounds back and it's pretty glorious.

Those frostbite/life/minion damage rings don't come cheap on a good base. But oh man there's a beautiful 25ex ring with life, dex, frostbite, curse, rez, and then a free suffix.

Mine cost 15c I think early on, but doesn't have a lot on it. Still, I don't think pretty much any ring is worth 25 ex ever.

OP I picked this up today for a low 50C.


Unavailable



Got the 1500 vaals / fusing. I just DON'T WANNA mess this craft up as i've never done it before. Just to be clear -

I color the 3 red and 3 blue FIRST then i do the "Six Linked Sockets" So...



STEP 1 = At least three blue slots (and hopefully get 3 red too as it'll be easy probably due to the base)

STEP 2 = Six linked sockets


I'm 99% sure this is fine ^^ just wanted to be clear. Also I got this beauty today :D

Unavailable




EDIT 1 ::: Done with it
Unavailable




EDIT 2 ::: Ok - this is insane. I finally refuckulated my resistances to 75 all ... with 6k HP / 1.7k ES still. Happy as hell with this - my vaal skeleton is LEVEL 30 NOW!!!!!! Is there a way to GO HIGHER? This feels INSANE!


Edit 3 ::: - Question for OP or anyone. Is avatar of fire worth keeping solely to use frost bomb? I was thinking since i replaced my old wand which actually gave cold adamage requiring me to path avatar of fire...That I could now remove the notable and put it in 10% more health. I'm considering it - but to my knowledge frostbomb is better than armabrand for applying EE?

Nice chest and nice wand. There's a couple ways, but it's either inefficient (empower) or expensive (+2+1 chest, or even +1/+1 corrupted with +1/+ chest). Past 30, each level only gives 5% more damage, so it's not really worth it.

Your choice - EE is easier to proc with arma brand due to it being an instant cast, but frost bomb + avatar of fire does more damage (bigger exposure, 25% vs 10%).

I never, ever see a Thread of Hope with medium range in the market. Do others work?

Not for the main use (ravenous and cruel). There should always be a ton on the market - I’ll drop you a trade link after work. (10h or so)

Medium ones are 2-3x more expensive compared to small ones, but still quite cheap (~30c). I would recommend buying one of these directly, but I think you could also buy a small one and then use divine orb on it (1/4 chances you should hit 'medium'). The benefit of buying a medium directly is that you can see what's the res penalty (the smaller the penalty, the higher the price). With divine orb you would re-roll res too (and pray to RNGesus).

Damage Improvement: Skitterbots+bonechill recommended now, with frostbite coming from a ring. Needs the mana problem fix below.

This change (got a ring with both frostbite & minion damage) brought a large damage increase to my skeletons (from 550k to 750k).

Mana problem fix: removed Redemption, and Pathed to Sovereignty instead. Added "From Dust" unique jewel, and added the main recommendation to get this specific boot enchant

My two cents here after experimenting with this:
1) Sovereignty definitely makes an important difference, but only if it allows you to summon skeleton twice in a row without waiting (i.e., bring your mana to around 90-120 - depending on your mana regen)

2) I am not a big fun of "From Dust" for fast map clearing. Usually, I run fast in maps and summon 4 skeletons on each horde of enemies. In this way, I am able to clear most t16 map in less than a couple of minutes. However, with "From Dust", the summoned 8 skeletons often overrides the previous ones that might not have cleared their horde yet (mostly where there are 3-4 hordes very close to each other). Plus the 1 second penalty is also pretty bad, as I can no longer run fast all the time (the wait is short, but still non-negligible).
Finally, "From Dust" also "steals" a gem slot that could instead be used for more functional attributes (e.g., life / minion attack speed / etc.)

They are expensive, but not too much. I got this a couple of days ago for 50c (not the best, but definitely worth it):
