[3.9] Pure Phys Skeletons & Friends Necromancer — Beginner/SSF/Budget Build

How does this build compare to Cyclone Holy Relic with zombies and skellies in terms of damage, clear speed and survivability?

I swapped out the 6th gem (Multistrike, Melee Splash, Ruthless) for Impale to try it out. The obvious issue is the Dex requirements for the gem. Almost all your gear has ancillary +dex mods. I can't even level it above 1. Ran it anyway with a Dread Banner/Generosity. Still felt pretty good at level 1.


level 20 impale requires only 70 dex, that isn't that bad, you can get away with pretty much 1 good dex roll on one piece of gear.
Couple of questions :

How much does a +1 gem wand affects dps

Is multistrike better then melee splash ?

I have 2 exalts burning a hole in my pocket, where would be the best place to spend them?

Hi, best build I have played so far (done about 5-6 leagues on console) so thank you for that.

I had a weird thought and wanted some feedback on whether it is a good or bad idea.

The Matua Tupina (Tarnished Spirit Shield) is very cheap, and if it can be found The Mentor prophecy will upgrade it to +3 socketed minion gems.
Would this be a good option compared to rng/time/etc of a 21 spectres gem and a pair of +1 convoking wands?

Assuming yes, what would you suggest as a weapon to compensate for the lost shield mods ?

Hello everyone!

Thanks a lot for the guide, I'm currently following this and as a new player, it's nice to just have a build to follow, considering I'm still "learning" all the other mechanics and stuff (and there's so much of it oh god).

Anyways, could anyone be so kind and check out my character for any major "flaws"? I know I am still missing Enfeeble; I'm currently trying to figure out convoking wand crafting, so I'll add that as soon as I figure that out.
Also, any tips on what to upgrade next are very welcome.

Thanks!


Here are some of the simple things that I see

1) Replace your sword and shield with two Convoking wands. Don't worry about the +1 gem attributes yet, just make sure that they have Minion Damage.

2) Get 'Enfeeble' on the CWDT 3 link.

3) Get the 'Mystic Bulwark' node. It is easy to miss in the OP's leveling plan.

4) Make sure you mana flask has 'Enduring', it is a great help when you use the flask to replenish.

5) Get the 'To Dust' jewel and another with both 'Minion Taunt' and 'Minion Blind'.

6) Change your Seething Eternal Life flask to a Divine

7) Anoint your Amulet with 'Indomitable Army' this is not cheap, takes around 45 chaos worth of oils, so make sure you anoint a good amulet.

8) Run Uber Lab and get 'Bone Barrier', it makes maxing out your resistances very easy.

Bottom line is take a look at the OP section on 'High Budget'


Thanks! I've changed most of that, will check some other points you've mentioned right now.
The Carrion Golems seem extremely squishy or is it just me?

@OP, fantastic build. I've only previously run Enki's Arc Witch build but I'm having a blast with this.
what do you think about a cyclone CwC desecrate spirit offering setup? im dying a lot in sirius fights so I think it'll be good for defense

For those who have crappy gear (20c or less total spent on gear) how fast are you mapping with the build? How far are you able to get on the atlas before you slow down and or keep on dying (if you even die)?


I'd like to know how fast people are going as well. Thinking of making this but worried about it being a slow mapper with bad gear.

it's you, mine never die, have you enchanted your neck properly?

QUESTION: why Blood Magic on Spectres?? I can't figure out WHY; would DPS gem be better??
