[3.16 updated] BRO, DO YOU EVEN SUMMON? Life/ES Dark Pact Skeleton Caster League Starter
|
Hi,
If anyone's interested in giving this build a shot in Standard, I'll be selling full equipment set (can include gems). PM me if interested :) |
|
" " Thanks a lot guys, it helped a lot and I believe my char developed much since then. It's very tempting to run this build for 3.6 too but let's see if its core mechanics remain strong enough. " What I'm interested the most is how the bloody #&@! could you accumulate this much wealth to get multiple ex's items with this char? Yes I'm probably not running enough maps but I feel like there's a secret sauce somewhere I did not discover just yet to even think about such expensive gear. |
|
" There's a simple answer to that question - I've built it in Standard in the first place. I don't really have time to play leagues :( Last edited by maniard#6014 on Feb 20, 2019, 2:06:11 AM

Hi thanks for the guide.
I tried this build as ssf char and already had a trouble killing dominus (act 3) with SS+DP (I don't have the SS jewel) and have only 3L DP (DP+c.destruction+void manip). Should I farm a little bit more for better levelling gear? Level 29 atm and otw to doomcast node tree. Thank you |

i've played this build at end of this season, i've really enjoy to play it , thx for the guide who was very helpfull.
i have just a question for the next league synthesis , i'm looking for the curse mecanics so the question is 2 ( or 3 curse if i get the gloomfang corrupted amulet) curses with blasfemy support , or the new skill Bane who apply the curse linked and damage over time on target , and the area looks like great , so i'm hesitate if someone can advice me for next league about that :) yes my english sucks |

Hi,
As the league ends, I would like to thank you for a great build. It is really "as advertised" - great dps, moderate cost, and not to forget "not so tanky". The latter made my character being constantly obliterated while trying to do uelder solo, but it is more about my skills/lack of experience than the build itself. Other fights than uelder were piece of cake (maybe Caterina was tougher - but who on earth fights Caterina?!). I will still play this character on standard (time gets very limited) to improve its tankiness (like buying atziri's acuity, if I ever make enough currency), but I would like to share some of the build variants that you one may find useful. It is not something particularly special, but I hope it helps newer players. Boss killing setup:
Spoiler
This is a setup that I used to kill the bosses. Nothing fancy, but I changed the +1 curse gloomfang for purity of ice + "cannot be frozen" watcher's eye (80c). The reason for that was simply that I could not afford the gloomfang - the moment I was looking for it, the prices went to over 10 ex, which was more than on standard. Anyway, purity of ice provided me a nice QoL. I also managed to fit aspect of spider, so this is a nice substitute for temporal chains. With this setup, I have almost 6800 life and around 9M shaper dps, which is not that bad at all. General mapping setup:
Spoiler
The majority is the same as for the bossing one, but this time it is optimized to give more AoE and movement speed. I was able to self-cast dark pact even on t16 rares. Magic find setup:
Spoiler
This league was particularly easy for magic find due to cheap white-color pariah rings. Actually, this strategy brought me a nice pile of early currency as I was one of the first ones to color pariahs with Vorici. The only issue with pariah was that I had to use purity of elements instead of purity of ice to cap missing resistances. I also had to move warlord's mark back to gloves. The other items are pretty standard MF setup. The rest is like in the general mapping setup. With these items I had still decent dps, around 5k life, and 216% increased move speed. Thanks again, and good luck with a new league!

3.6 Update????
|
|
" I'm waiting for PoB to be fully updated but so far it seems there are no major changes to this build and so it could be played the same way in 3.6. Also dps should stay basically at the same level. |
|
|
How do you see a CI version of this build going? I know its technically possible but do you think it would be any good?
Ive made a tree and it just feels like its 5 points short of being good. |

To me 3.6 seems like insane buff. Not only you get zealotry, bunch of damage on tree, es leech as CI or hybrid, but possibly the biggest increase of power would be intensify (if it's compatible) with increase of base area of DP you change this support for inc area of effect and you get even more area effect and possibly insane damage boost (depends on number of achievable stacks) for single target (not like you would need that)
correct me if there is something wrong about my asumptions. Will deffinitely try to recover build at least in standard. And i almost forgot, Kingmaker on animate guardian will be enormous defense boost, the crit multi is handy too. Possibly as a CI you could use chain support instead of gloomfang chain and get ES and crit multi on amulet. From my PoB it had roughly the same damage, no losing life on hit and more ES. It may be even worth trying as life based. Last edited by Nirdana#5204 on Mar 7, 2019, 8:54:29 AM
