Hi there,

I'm really having fun with the Carrion Golem Build.
With the Cluster-Setup the Damage goes up, but defenses, especially player life goes down.

I'm currently working on getting to Elder, Shaper, Maven and Sirus.

But I'm not sure what to do to improve my defenses?
More block? More Life? More Armour?

Is this build boss-proof?
Any tips are appreciated.


You can try this version. There are a few gem changes to make it more defensive.

Pride -> Purity of Elements
Defiance Banner -> Divergent Dread Banner (nearby enemies deal 5% less damage)
Enfeeble curse (nearby enemies deal 30/15 less damage)

It stacks so when you curse enemies deal 35/20 less damage!

Hey there,
why are u using anomalous boneoffering on the setup, if its not working on yourself anymore, due to ashes of the stars?

I try to figure out the trick here.


The original build uses Anomalous Bone Offering, +1 gem/+1 skele amulet, 5% life on block rare shield.

For the updated build, it's Ashes, Divergent Bone, Aegis Aurora.



Got it. Thanks alot :)

What's the maximum number of skeletons (non-vaal) possible with the skeleton mage build? I'm at 12 skeletons now

14 I think.

You can get 8 from skill gem (lvl 25). It's possible to get 9 but you need lvl 39 from skill gem which sounds kinda hard.
You can get +2 from skill tree resulting in 10.

The rest comes from:
- +1 from Boots
- +1 from Helm
- +1 from Chest (Delve mod)
- +1 from Amulet (Delve mod)

Showcase for updated Bleed-based Summon Reaper build for 3.17. This build is based on Pr3vie's build from 3.15. I updated the passive tree to 3.17 and made some changes to match my usual passive tree. I also changed the cluster jewels and some of the gems and links. I’m not sure what the build costs because the gear was donated to me in 3.15.



>>> Showcase: Eater of Worlds, Searing Exarch, Infinite Hunger, Black Star, Mapping <<<


Passive Tree & Jewels, Ascendancy, Pantheon and PoB Pastebin

HELMET

For the helmet, use an Elder Bone Helmet with nearby enemies take increased physical damage.
Can also get +2 or +3 to minion gems or Minion damage.

Enchant: Reaper extra dot multiplier





BODY

Victario's Influence is used to boosts auras for more damage.



Herald of Purity is for the medium cluster jewels which give 110% increased damage.



GLOVES

Asenath's Gentle Touch gives a lot of clear speed because of the temporal chains explosions.

Enchant: Spite. It will hit a lot of monsters and proc more temp chains from Asenath gloves.



The offering here is to help increase clear speed (and bossing DPS).



BOOTS

Shaper boots with Ballista totem mod. Ensnaring Arrow makes monsters always moving (210% more damage with bleeding). You can cast 3 totems.





WEAPON

A bow with +1/+2 support will give Empower 7 (+6 levels) as well as boosts all support gems. The combination of gear gems and links gives level 32 Summon Reaper.

You can craft this with Essence of Horror to get the minion damage mod. Keep spaming until +1 gem. Then clear other mods and craft multimod, +2 support and minion ias.



Divergent Summon Reaper has increased cooldown recovery. It's very important for the Ultimate Slash.

Swap Predator for Phantasms for mapping



QUIVER

Rearguard is basically a shield for bow characters (gives a lot of block chance!)




AMULET

For the amulet, use Ashes of the Stars.
The most important stat is gem quality.

The anointment is Whispers of Doom for double curse.





RINGS

Profane Proxy lets you curse Vulnerablitiy automatically. It should be on the right side so you can still get shock aura.


Also need an unset ring




BELT

Use a stygian vise to socket a ghastly eye jewels.

I built these gloves for my AG and you can do some really neat things with these new implicits. Not very cheap but super strong once you starting hitting that point where you have currency really explore what you can do with your AG.

I didn't think about exposure mod! That can free up one gem slot from Elemental Army.

Synthesized explodey 1-hands only costs ~10 chaos each though so it's not too bad. They're 15% each so you can get 30% from two one hands.
A two hand synthesized weapon is like 5 chaos.
(Not sure about the prices during league start though, but I don't think explodey synthesized implicits are a thing)

What's nice with the synthesized versions is that you can convert the explosions to any element you want, including fire. So if you stack them with a crusader chest you get 60% chance to explode which is enough for it to be really consistent.
If you also run Legacy of Fury on him he'll basically have a 100% chance to explode dealing fire damage which should be insane. What's nice is that you also can spend some time crafting them for huge damage mods.

Explode mods scale with added flat damage and % damage, in your case %phys and %fire. So you could just alteration roll for a high %phys increased roll(179% is the highest mod but very rare) since non caster weapons can't roll elemental %mods. Then craft 65%% fire and 25% chance to ignite from Bench.

From Alteration spam alone you could get ~360% increased phys and ~130% increased fire damage pretty easily which would make his Explosions deal insane damage. With some damage links and most minion nodes in the tree you're definitely looking at the explosions dealing more than 100% of monster life up from 10% which is the base.


So, actually I bought all the gear for making explodey AG last week :) 30% explode body was 3ex. I also bought 20% explode for 1ex.



My idea is to use Triad 4R so everything is fire damage. Not sure which permament minion to use yet, though! I'm levelling up a new witch to test this kind of build.

Btw are you sure about phys% on weapon for explosions? phys% is an 'attack' mod and also 'local' mod. So it should only work if it's a melee hit from the sword does damage.

I was thinking of just using essence of fear for general minion damage.

I also though it would be funny to use Vaal Breach for explodey AG could be main DPS for bossing

Edit:
Spoiler
extra crafts


changed shield to this to get endurance changes

I guess 13 is my limit then because this build needs the Fleshcrafter on the chest and I don't want to use wands that reserve 30% of my hp.
Man I hope in 3.18 they either don't nerf Skeleton mages or they nerf it very little. I tried like 5 builds this league and I always come back to this build. It got decent clear, very tanky, easy and relaxing gameplay, killed all guardians, sirus and shaper with ease. I am scared of trying other bosses but I am sure it can do well vs them too
