Can the warrior skeleton warrior build be used without a +2 tabula?

I am very poor right now and im in act 4. Some dude was giving out free tabulas and i got a tabula now but no +2. I am thinking about using that build until I can get a 5 link fleshcrafter. Also I could just keep on following the pob for minion army for the skeleton warrior build right?




Edit: Okay never mind, some nice dude bought me the dead reckoning jewel and now I can do skeleton mages in act 4. So which pob should I follow now? Like I said I got a regular tabula and dead reckoning jewel

Yeah it's fine to use tabula without +2. Just cast Elemental Weakness. Save up for 5L fleshcrafter.

Which pob should I follow? The regular skeleton mage build? Should I follow the suggested gear in the pob too minus the body armor?

To get demon harpies do i need phantasmal desecrate to a specific level or level 1 is enough? Can you desecrate it in hideout?

I just found this... I am pretty sure that it isn't damage reflect that is killing my minions though, unless harbingers always have that? I guess it would probably be very expensive and risky to try and craft for life and resists anyway.




I tried Meat Shield support and minions are dying a little less, however I don't know if this is because of the damage reduction or simply because they stay near me and dive into packs less.

The main difference is that when I see a harbinger I can stay back and let the spiders kill the packs while my supports are near me and out of harm's way, usually. As soon as I get a few more exalt shards, I am speccing out of harbinger nodes!

What do I get first for skelemgaes: 6 link (currently 5 link without critdamage support) or cluster jewels or ghatsly eye jewels?
Currently able to do shaper's guardians, takes about 3min at Minotaur, so what would be the better choice?

If you can go for the 6l go for it , its a lot of damage , although I would recommend to also buy a medium cluster with Blessed rebirth, they are really cheap 25c~ and make your minion tank the initial hits before they start hitting

Great advice about medium cluster actually, somehow never occured to me I could just get it and gain free elem pen with fleshcrafter

I might be blind, how are you generating endurance charges with poison spiders build? I see you take +1 to max endurance charges but I'm not seeing how you are generating those.

Hello!
How did u get onslaught with your skelly mage build?

PSA for fellow spider users: if you are going to fight any archnemesis that includes Invulnerable, consider using Predator Support even at the cost of losing a lot of dps. Some combinations of elite monster, minions, other archnemesis mods, and even terrain can make it almost impossible for your spiders to kill the elite.

Melee Splash Support is enough to overcome this in favorable conditions (open terrain, no weird monster behaviour, no other mods that require you to move away) but sometimes you are going to want to manually target the elite. The build does more than enough damage to easily handle anything in t16 anyway, unless you specifically create an extra resilient monster on top of the Invulnerable mod.

Edit: I just tried Predator against an extremely fast, very deadly, Maven-buffed Titan of the Grove and it worked fine.

Enduring Composure one one of the small cluster jewels.

Hmmmmmmmm!

Are you using Anomalous Controlled Destruction? It makes linked minions 100% reduced chance to critical strike. (completely 0% crit)

You need this because Ancient Skull gives a 20% chaos degen on crit. The support minions will die very quickly without it.

Of course! I noticed that very fast as I was putting together the build.

When it comes to harbingers, I now just flame dash straight into the pack so that everything is debuffed from my auras and everything is close together to explode - even more with Spiritual Aid ;) A lot of the time this kills both waves before my supports die.

Apart from the harbingers, which I meet very often because my atlas is set up for them, my supports don't die that much. Once I get a jewel with Renewal and Feasting Fiends, that will make a difference because now with Meat Shield they usually don't get nuked instantly so sustain should help a lot. I will remove the harbinger nodes soon anyway.

The covenant jewels are also great and I can get them, I am just not sure how I can fit them in the passive tree with just one large cluster jewel. I will experiment some more.

Lastly, I can get a level 3 Empower Support as mine is level 2.

My build is nowhere near minmaxed yet but I am clearing t16 maps easy and fast with or without support summons. I generally resummon only the golem if it dies - I don't bother with the spectres unless I get killed or I have to go back to my hideout to unload loot. And my damage can get a lot higher with some more investment!

Do the skills in the wand need to be in a certain order?
