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

So, I was drunk and figured why not craft shit and then this rolled yay



Also woke7 Awakener down, he dropped

2 watchstones to go for full woke.

Hey guys, I'm somewhat new and starting to feel the struggle against red maps. I'd love some help if someone can tell me.

I believe that someone said they can summon 14 skeletons but I'm confused as to how. I can currently only hit 11, including two from passives. I am missing one from chest enchant so i could have 12. i also use From Dust in tree

my vaal summon skeletons is level 25 with bonuses - but zero quality.

You can get up to a +3 Level of All Minion Skill Gems on the convoking wands.

ah

I'm going to have a to make a document so I remember everything if I make this build again

All my gems hit 20 tonight, I'm not sure which ones to quality to 20 nor what order. I'm afraid if I just do them all I'll be worthless for weeks trying to re-level. Can someone give me tips on where to start first and a game plan? I have followed OP's build almost exactly.

So... I have a few upgrades to make:

Vaal skellies 21/23
Awaken minion dmg and other gems
+1 minion wands
+1 to socketed active gems on chest

What's the most important here? Have around 8ex sitting on the stash

Someone else may correct me, but the wands would probably be my priority here. Alternatively plug each in to PoB and see what gives you the biggest change vs. bang for ex buck.

does impale / dread banner set up more dps? and is multistrike better than ruthless on skellies?

Pretty fun build, never played skelies before


Doing all content with ease

Thanks for the guide

Managed to annul and craft that, pretty nice :D

Someone asked how the build plays with no gear: pretty well. I have 60c invested in my character atm, and I'm doing low tier red maps very easily. I originally hit a 'this feels a bit slow' in t9/10 maps, then I bought a cheap 6l. It felt a bit slow in t11/12 again, then my gems hit 20 and I turned them all into 20%q. Now the damage is fine in t13. I've a lot of t14s and some t15 and 16s, but I definitely felt the need to upgrade my gear in t14.

With really minimal investment getting into red maps is pretty good.
