Hey guys, really looking forward to use this build, but I just cant figure out where to place the 2 Dead reckoning Jewels.

I would place one near Quick Recovery. Should the 2nd one go above Lord of dead? If so I need to unlock one more int node, right?

You don't need to have the intelligence in radius allocated, but yes those 2 spots are correct! :)

This is my first time playing and I'm having some trouble with what items to get. I've cleared T12 maps but I just don't have nearly enough single target to kill the bosses higher than T12 white.

WizTheLychee is my necro. I'm just not sure what else I can do at this point to keep pushing.

Problem with Mage Skellies is the lack of damage in red tier maps for bosses. This is where Melee skellies shines if they can be kept alive. Sadly, the only thing I can recommend at this point is to run Shaped maps which should be t10-11 highest in the current meta.
Or invest in more dust jewels for higher efficiency of your skellies, bosses in higher tiers are a problem for almost every build in the game at this point since they buffed them beyond by abnormal numbers.

can u do guardians with this build or is it to squishy :P?

"Should" be viable, since I haven't tried it I can't confirm.

Thanks for the guide! Quick/dumb question. I'm reading the guide and watching the video, which I understand is for 2.6. To clarify, this build no longer uses Queen's Escape? Is the move speed on skeletons not important anymore? Just re-casting skeleton mages while on the move now, kind of like SRS?

Cheers!

Correct, it no longer uses Queen's Escape.
We are using Mage skellies so movement speed is no longer required.
Exactly! :)

All the items are listed in the guide, I will try to make time to play all of my builds to update gameplay footage and include a better showing gear section in the PoB later on.

sadly the queen's escape is over for now but damn but the evangelist/mages combo is so fun

hey just wondering. cam this build be run on low budget?
since as i noticed the baron is a big deal. and it costs like 180c.
is it mandatory or can i forego it?

You don't need the Baron helmet at all. The Baron is only for leveling ease with SRS. The actual skeletal mages do not benefit from the Baron

As Ghazzy said "Switch from SRS to Skellies once you have a 5L and 2x Dead Reckoning Jewels, this also allows you to remove the Baron helmet."

Hey,

It is a low budget build so yeah :)
Baron is only a lvling unique and is removed later on. However, I will be updating this as the Baron increased in Tier rarity & costs a fuck load!

Will update the lvling section right now.

I got a quick question about the build. Never played seriously before 3.0.0, so what really changed and made the Queen's build not viable over this ?

Also do you plan on releasing a 3.0.0 video anytime soon ? :)

Anyway thanks for the build, really enjoying it.

Rough that Dead Reckoning Jewel's price increased a bit recently :D

Been playing the build with Queen's Escape at the moment; and from what I feel with skele's at the moment, the build doesn't seam that viable. Once you hit T10+ Maps, your skele's just insta slaughtered; even when doing breaches its tough too.

Hey,

We went for Mage Skellies for higher clear speed which means we no longer needs movement speed! :)

Glad you like it bro!

Queen's Escape shouldn't be used according to the guide though? :O
Is everything else according to the guide? Cause you shouldn't have big problems running shaped maps with this build, at all.

I used it with and w/o queens. While the damage does exist, they can't survive against t10+ bosses.

Albeit I've been using melee skele's due to not being able to buy a Skin with the right sockets. I just feel that keeping the skele's up long enough to deal some damage is tough.
