👻3.20👻 Kay's Summoner💥SRS Bomber💀Poison SRS💀Melee SRS🕷️Spiders💀Skeleton Mages

Prob a dumb question but we don't use the death wish skill from the helmet right? it kills all my minions. But I see in PoB it's applied as a buff in the damage calculation.
Hello everyone. I've been in an hours long discussion with someone who's running Kay's skelly mages build, theorycrafting further improvements towards it. I've come up with a different variation.

https://pastebin.com/qds4y4pb

Modifications made:
- Replaced Maw of Mischief with a god-tier helmet (+2 to socketed gems, hypothermia, minion damage, +1 skeletons)
- Moved the skeletons to the helmet and the auras to the body armor
- Used the remaining two slots on the body armor to add Animated Guardian and Minion Life, AG has Kingmaker
- Replaced amulet with something similar, but has +1 skeleton cap
- Replaced boots with Alberon's Warpath

The resulting build has 5500 life (from 6k), 49m max DPS (from 32m), and the res isn't capped (could probably be fixed using empty suffixes on helmet and further optimizations in other gear).

I'm not a good theorycrafter. I simply replaced a couple items with no thought or care as to what the price of the build is going to be, plus I may have missed some calcs that could potentially be fluffing up the DPS values. I'd greatly appreciate some advice for improvements to this build if possible.
PoE players: Our game has a wide diversity of builds.

Also PoE players: The [league mechanic] doesn't need to be nerfed, you just need to play a [current meta] build!

MFers found strength in their Afflictions. They became reliant on them. I am not so foolish.

I think we can safely exclude the shield as an option for the spider build. It seems to be as rare as pre-dropnerf HH, currently at 55ex, trending towards 60+ex


I wonder if Arakaali's Fang will jump in price when I update the guide. :P


Got mine already stashed. Waiting for the guide ^^

Does anyone else have trouble spectring influence mobs? I just tried to raise arena masters, got random regular mobs instead. Same thing happened to other influence mobs in that map. No spell echo or bad targeting, any other corpses raise just fine.
I've made a bug report just in case.



Corpse targetting is really terrible in POE since the begining! It's easy to miss if you move your mouse just a tiny bit. I recommend setting the raise key to a keyboard button instead of mouse.
