Thanks for that Deadanlivin.
Unfortunately hopeless at POB so i come here for expert advice.

Yeah, checking Phantasm dps on PoB is a living nightmare.
If you link your PoB I could put in the correct configurations to see what your numbers are.

(Btw, what spectres are you running?)

Phantasm DPS is a bit tricky. When the gem procs a new phantasm it will replace the oldest phantasm. So if you are killing a lot of monsters quickly, then you get replacements quickly too! The replacements won't have full charges and maybe no charges until chieftains use their shout again.

Sorry to keep bothering you guys but i really need expert help with my build.
Deadanlivin suggested i use Phantasms in my helm, the idea being having 11 x lvl 24 phantasms outweighs having skeleton mages with 1 extra gem support in my helm.
That support would be a lvl 5 awakened GMP.

Also am i better off having my skeletons in my helm rather than in my chest?

Depends on the helmet.

6L Fleshcrafter is about same as 2mod helmet with +3 (can use awakened minion damage in body).

If you can get 3mod helmet with +3, it is better, but almost more expensive.

+2 duration Fleshcrafter is next.

After that is 4mod helmet with +3 ("mirror tier").

2- stay away from the bosses, always keep moving and just keep an eye on the skeleton count so you can summon more as needed, make sure the bosses are cursed

I like to kite the bosses to a corner or something too.

But I've only done Sim 21+ once (for AW video). I don't like doing it because it's usually takes a long time to finish and the rewards are not good.

Hi Kay, thanks for the help.
I am officially dumb, i simply cannot get POB up and working correctly.
My info is public, my account is EDMOSES and my character is Ultimate_Daryl.

I think my helm is pretty good but i certainly didn't pay anything near a mirror for it.
I am using 2 carnage chieftan and 2 frost auto scouts spectres.

So now that we know there are going to be no balance changes in 3.18, which build from this guide ended up being the strongest this league?

You have 420k per skele x 11 and 33k per phantasm x 11. About 5M totals and lots of projectiles. But phantasms probably won't have charges because they get replaced quickly. The phantasms base damage is 22k.

You could use Faster casting instead of phantasms though. 520k per skele and about 5M total. I think this is more reliable.

For dps. you need host chieftain for power charges and use increased crit damage. 930k per skele.

Not sure why you use FAS...

Best allrounder is probably skele mage. Tanky, good damage, easy to play, not too expensive. but kind of slow mapping (move speed + resummoning).

Edit: I shared an updated POB that's much stronger than the original build. I also theorycrafted a better no fleshcrafter build (cheap). I'll make a new guide that has the updates!

Other builds have different pro/cons. Like spectres are fastest for mapping, but bad bossing dps.

Thinking of trying to make Popcorn SRS work again in SSF this league - Had absolutely terrible luck with getting Tavukai last league (over 50!! araku tikis and didn't see Tavukai once) - I'm guessing the best way to farm for one would be to cheese heists at level 67? Could also farm random unique jewelry card but that's probably not nearly as efficient. Any thoughts?

You can increase drop chance if you only do level 54-59 heist (tavukai is 54!). Next droppable amulet is level 60.

And pick up every coral amulet for chancing!

Thanks Kay, using 2 Host/Carnage chieftain specters now.
Replaced Phantasms with faster casting.
