Can someone tell me if there is something really wrong with my gear?

I have most of the important items for Skellie Mages but I am getting absolutely destroyed in higher tier fights. I die almost instantly in the Formed, sometimes even against basic guardians.

I made a pastebin to load into Path of Building: https://pastebin.com/T1Ckv8Qu

Please help, I don't think the build is supposed to be like what I'm seeing.


- You have no +Life on your Helmet, better a +2 Helmet with Life than +3 with
nothing imho.

- You have 2 Ghastly Eye Jewels with no +Life, aim for 34+

- You skilled "Minion Offense Mastery" which is useless with Fleshcrafter.
- Change to +100% Critchance for Minions.

With Ashes of the Stars you should be able to use Zealotry + Generosity instead of Skitterbots
I am now playing necro after several leagues. So far it is okay.

I just wonder two issues.

Firstly, does gem lvl of summon skeleton make sense in terms of dps other than number of skeletons?

Secondly, do zombies supported by meat shield gem take damages coming to me? Or just by chance make their job?

If you have 10 or 11 Skele Mages fireing their Missiles is a DPS difference.

Meat Shield

is used primarely that Minions take Less Damage, it has no negative impact to the Necromancer.

Thanks for your kind reply.

So, you mean lvl of gem just increases skele numbers, not its inherent damage!

As for the meat shield, deterministically it doesnt do meat shield for me.

Skeletons gain about 12% more damage per level. eg level 20 = 1387, 21 = 1553, 22 = 1739.

After level 30, it's 5%.

I'm strongly considering removing the Spectres/Golem altogether, but I haven't figured out, what else to use yet, those charges really boost the spiders' damage...


I'm still trying to figure out what to do.

I was thinking about life from death + phantasms. Swap feeding frenzy to phantasms.


Phantasms die really easily, so it should be good way to get 4% life recovery for minions. When a phantasm is replaced it also counts as a death so maybe level 1 support is better (max 5 phantasms)?

I took off all my gear from the spider build at the moment, so I can't test it now. Does someone want to try it?

It looks correct.

Need to get more block. Refund some minion damage (Righteous Army) and take mystic ward.

Maybe try using Aegis Aurora as the shield instead? It has a lot of attack block.

The main goal was getting to the point where I wouldn't have to worry about many dots or ailments, so my biggest concern would be just getting one shot. Here's what I've been working on https://pastebin.com/JFJmgmpy


I'm still new to working with POB, so hopefully most things are accurate. Not as much damage as your original build, but I think it's a good bit tankier with respectable damage. If you get a chance to look at it, let me know what you think!



Maybe I will retire the S&S build actually :\ It's hard to work with 45% mana reserve for HoP... so I'm working on a new Dominating Blow super tanky build.

It really is, and you can't really work with any other chest pieces because of the high multipliers on the gems to boost the sentinels. Was fun playing around with though, shouldn't be too hard to respec into a pure spider build from here.
Do you think it's possible to work in the Demon Harpy and Pale Saraphim into a spider build, or should I just opt for the typical Chieftan combo?
