How do your skellies follow you guys around? Mine stand around like idiots once everything is dead on-screen and do not follow me off-screen, even if I pull aggro.

They never follow, they only agro nearby enemies or stand still.

So you have to resummon them within agro range of the enemies.

So I'm playing almost exactly whats in the guide now. I have 5 link with Summon Skelly, Pierce, LMP, Minion Damage, Spell Echo. And I have Victario's Charity equipped.
I'm wondering because Victario's Charity seems unnecessary with spell echo (and Controlled Destruction once i have 6Link). I mean... aren't the Frenzy and Power Charges the only reason why we even play Victario's Charity?
With Spell Echo the Cast Speed increase from Frenzy Charges don't matter at all. Same goes for Power Charges + Controlled Destruction, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong please :)

Yes, the charges are the only reason we use Vics Charity :)
It increases damage output by your minions as well as general clear speed thanks to you being faster in casting & moving with Shield Charge.

Power Charges grants minions 200% inc critical strike chance, CD reduces that by 100% so you still give them 500& increased critical strike chance. Though we don't really care for crit tbh. The Frenzy charges grants TONS of damage for minions.

Minions are affected the same way enemies are with charges.

Okay! Thank you for the fast answer. Seems like I am still not deep enough into the Mechanics of PoE :D

When I read "100% less critical strike chance" I thought like: Okay, so it's impossible to crit. Forgot that it is a little bit different in PoE than in most other Games.

@Taaawm:

No worries :)
The game is more complex than any other ARPG on the market atm which makes it imo more intriguing :)

Hi,

What are the desired sockets (how many?) on the Victario's Charity and Brightbeak?
Also are you going to make a new video for this build? I think the 2.6 video is super different compared to the current build.

Thanks

Hey,

The differences between the 3.0 & the 2.6 versions are huge indeed. As I'm not a fulltime streamer I try to make the most out of the time I have with the stream & youtube. After each build is done I have a strawpoll running where you guys get to decide which build to do next, in those votes the non-updated gameplay footage builds (like this one) is included where I would do the build and then update the gameplay footage with a quick video guide as well as looking in to upgrading the build towards a higher budget if possible.


Regarding the socket question:
Only get as many sockets as you need for your gear to avoid wasting jeweller orbs, however, seeing as you might want to use those 2 pieces for the end-game I would recommend getting 3 sockets eventually if not directly :)
I personally prefer to fully sort the items I get that I know I'll be using for the end-game or even for a long time.


Hope my answer is sufficient! ^^

Noob question but I'm curious, why replace queen's escape? was it nerfed or sth? is it also an option besides brightbeak and charity? :)

hi ghazzy,

great work on this like every time :)

got some question i´m new to summoner :D where do i have to place the 2 reckoning jewels ? and probably i can play it only if i got the two jewels into my tree or is there a faster way to play this ? i mean you can use Echo at lvl 38 so can you play it right from there if i got a tabula or something else or have i to follow the skill trees into the last to use the jewels?

my english sucks so sry if there are grammar errors :D

keep on doing great things and stay safe !

In 2.6, Queen's Escape was used to give melee skeletons more movement speed so they can close enemies down quicker.

In 3.0, OP switched to skeleton MAGES as his main skill. Mages attack from range, so they do not require the movement speed bonus. Hence, Queens' Escape is now no longer relevant to OP's new 3.0 build.
