I'm looking to try this build out in SSF standard (finally got an Aegis after a few years). Do you think I should update to rare boots, or stick with my legacy +1 max skeletons Alberon's Warpath boots?
Also what are the current thoughts on Breathstealer gloves? I see only 5% of people use it nowadays and I thought it used to be more popular for skele mages.
Thanks.
Legacy alberons are great. You can use breathstealer, many people use it to clear content where you have to stand and just cast skellies such as delirium or blight.
trying to craft the +2 minion skill helmet right now
just thought I should ask before I screw it up
the helmet is currently full with prefix/suffixes
what best should I do now to open up the prefix for the +1 skelly/zombie craft?
(or should I actually go with it for now given i'm a little low on budget e.g. around 20 divine on standard)
many thanks in advance!
Sorry can I get some advice on this please?

You need to lucky annul remove minion damage and then craft +1 zombies +1 skellies then corrupt to 30% and then try divine teardrop it to have +2 level of all minion skill gems.
You can not use eldritch annul on it because it has influence, only non-influenced items can have eldritch implicit and thus can be crafted with eldritch currencies.

Thanks for the reply!
ended up with this which I'm happy with for now (will save up for divine teardrop)
I've just put together the character but feeling a bit low on damage
could you take a quick look and let me know if I'm missing anything? https://poe.ninja/pob/Zgh
I notice that you use 2 large cluster jewels in your build but somehow I just don't have skill points for another one?
Many thanks in advance!

Hello! I've been leveling this character to try and make this build, but I was wondering, when do you think it would be a good time to switch to Skellies?
I got myself the gem for mage skellies now and have about 2 div of budget but do I need a certain amount of crit on minions before I stop using Absolution/Srs? Should I try buying the cluster jewels immediately and all that or can I run the skellies without them? Any other pieces of gear are needed for it to feel good? I am still in white maps as I am very low level still.

Thanks for the guide btw!
I would say once you get your 6 link fleshcrafter you could swap into skellies.
Then from that point on you would want to improve the items slowly.

Thanks for the answer! I did that and has been pretty smooth sailing in the maps, except maybe some single target monsters like essense and such, where I think I would need to switch for the hypothermia setup, but very fun build!
I just re-created skellies in cruicble, it took 100 divines but it works well, if you would like to do a version without mageblood I would suggest darkness enthralled with extra small cluster jewels for suppression on tree.
