💀3.15💀 iLL3aT’s Cold Skeleton Warriors/Archers/Mages ❆ League Starter ❆ All Content ❆

cool chest i got today that was 6L'd already. Vaal'd it and got +2 duration lol
@dmodolo87 - There is the option to go down the other side of the left side of sovereignty instead as well - should free up enough for a third cast.

Fair enough on From Dust - I know it's not everyone's cup of tea hence it's a recommended but not required. Personally despite knowing I lose a bit of damage, I like it. The trade off is a generic ghastly so maybe 35 x 3 life, and a little attack speed.

@shaob - That's pretty funny - someone liked that chest before - certainly solves mana problems entirely haha. With the 300 ES and life roll (probably 200 life for me?), it's really not a bad choice at all.

Hmm, a non +2'd one might actually be the best choice for an iron mass build.

I've listed it insanely high doubting anyone buys it because I've contempted to use it ... not sure yet. I'll maybe build around it - the blood magic shouldn't be an issue at all and you're right will solve major mana issues. Plus more survivability out of this bad boy - honestly sad I spent 1500 fusing / vaal on the one I have now lmao.
Do the Spore Pods from Breathstealer also effect my Minions?
@shaob - Check out the new PoB - I moved a few points to sovereignty to make mana easier. I also recommend a boot enchant for mana regen; the two of those will solve all mana issues from my experience. The new chest doesn't add that much to be honest - the chaos damage is pretty negligible last I checked, and if you solve the mana issues with the above, that's also not amazing.

@Imiona - Never used it, but per the Wiki it should affect allies (which include minions).

i don't feel like i've had many mana issues with the build . I'm currently looking to replace my +2 helm with a +3 as a final 'big' upgrade. Rings could be done I suppose to. A friend of mine quit today and gave me his things so I will be able to craft something nice or buy probably.


so to be clear if we find something like in this

we want to socket our skeletons in it and then socket t he other minions in the chest?

Edit: is there a guide to craft this helm?

No, skeletons have to stay in the chest, as 5 awakened gems linked to them is by far the best way to boost their damage.

For the helmet, you want minion life to support AG (especially when you equip it with expensive gear), but you don't need minion damage for socketed gems, as your main damage comes from skeletons.

Instead, I would look for generic minion damage and minion life:

Also, make sure you can craft +1 zombie/skeletons on it, otherwise you'll lose a lot of damage (for this, you may need to drop some of the attributes listed above, finding one with all is super hard and extremely expensive).

I was running 100% chance to impale skeleton archers, then i switched to cold. Mind you im running a 7link via Lioneye's, and the 100% impale version has better bossing damage. But your post says end game cold would be better




Uber Elder deathless pretty fast.

Updated helm and ring for a touch more damage, think I might pick up a 2nd cluster jewel next, feel like I need a bit more damage for these 100% delirium map. Is awakened multi-strike a big improvement for this build?

Well I went with the helmet today


I decided I want my carrion golum badly and noticed my zombies die in 100% delirious maps when not linked in the helmet - so I remove feeding frenzing and throw carrion in place. I orginally had spectres in the helm...but they seem to survive in 100% delirious so I put those in my boots and the zombies in the helm. Working out pretty well.

it doesn't have room for +1 skele and +1 zombie unfortunately
