Thanks! One more question why Ahn's Might?

Edit: I meant ahns heritage, not ahns might. I liked the +3 max resist and thats what I happened to be using at the time. No real reason really.

For those running impale: Do you swap out a red gem for melee splash while clearing maps? Melee Physical Support?

I swap melee splash with multistrike. Melee physical stays, it adds same damage as minion damage blue gem, they provide exact same damage difference in pob.

I have 3 exa or so right now currency, but looking for upgrade advice past that, i've been making currency pretty quick i'm not even lvl 90 yet.

- Awakening gems?
- Shaper helm
- Rerolling convoking wands for better rolls. I already blew basically 2 exa trying to roll a nice wand and gave up and just bought these for cheap. I think i'm going to start buying bound fossils and trying that way.

Thanks!

Imo helm is waste of money. You want life on helm and good enchant, thats it. It doesn't matter that you have +3 minion and 2 free links that add damage life to your zombies or golem. +skill could help you reach 4 spectres, but you can just buy level 21 spectres without quality, get +2 from wand, and call it a day. They never die even in random 3 link, killed multiple awakeners with it, none ever died.
Buffing either zombies or golem via helm is imo pointless as it will provite tiny % of your total dps, compared to skeletons. If I put zombies in a perfect helm, they deal ~1/6 of damage of skeletons. It is even worse with golem because you only have 2 of them, vs all your skeletons, their role is diminished even further.

As for upgrade, check in pob whats better, a good wand or awakened melee splash (adds intimidate) that currently costs 9ex. I think gems will drop in value as more and more ppl will be farming endgame.

I have a noob question. For the final ascendancy, am I taking Bone Armor or Essence Glutton? What's written and what's posted on the tree are contradicting each other. Thanks

I running this build and its feels good! I try run this at budget, but I have some items there which not cheapest, anyway what I should upgrade/buy more, cuz now I have 1 exalt to spend..



(Yeah I have double flesh offering cuz I levelling enlighten, I change it tomorrow to raise specter setup :))

Thanks for the build guide. Started the season with a storm burst build, but channeling is really brutal. The damage is there, but with this build, less buttons to press, and not as dangerous as sitting there trying to hit things. Appreciate the faster clear too.

Had 16 watchstones before I started with the skel build, so that halted map progress a bit. Working my way towards unlocking awakener, etc. No issues with t13 and t14s; but I could always use more damage and hp.

When looking for at wands, what stats are the most important other than gem levels.

IE.

How much minion damage is better than minion attack/cast speed, and is movement speed worth a lot for skeletons?

Also, does Accuracy play a big part and should that be searched for?

On a different note, other than Vaal Summon Skele's - Which gems benefit the most from being 21?

Thanks

Have 5ex, what should i improve next? Any idea?

The Ahn's Heritage is a fantastic item as if you put in 2 jewels for -1 End charges you can also permanently get the +20% attack/move/cast speed while still retaining the +3% to max resists.

Probably only worth switching out for a Fated Atziri's for full curse immunity.

What is this build? :D

Hi,
Could someone post high end min max gear or POB? I want to see what I need to work toward.
Thanks
