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

So I got this enchant on the gloves this morning.

It seems good but Commandment of the Grave states that "Minions cannot Taunt Enemies" Does this apply to the minions that pop up from the grave or ALL minions.

Is this a good enchant to keep for the build? Or a waste of time.

How do I even go about crafting +1/+1 wands like those I see in this thread? Is there some combination of fossils that I am unaware of?

I tried 6 times. Only got +1 to minion gems. Remember to use af lvl 84 Convoking wand if you wanna try.

Thanks. I have exalts to burn.

Just made this :=)



7th try...

Hey. First of all: nice craft there varmemester. I wasted so much fossils and never had something like this.

I just failed my first Sirius fight. did somebody already managed to kill him and got some tipps for me how to improve my build? Maybe go with a shield for more defense?
I know i dont have all gems at level 20 because I switched to this build. But besides that and the +1 craft on my armor, can i do anything else?

This is my current gear:


Thanks in advance and good rng :)

Killed sirus 3 times now...first lvl 6 second and third on lvl 8.The fight is pretty easy.You just need need to swap out a few gems like ditch enfeeble for convocation and swap feeding freezies from carrion golem and put meat shield bcs the golem will die if he gets to aggresive...will suicide into the chaos storm.Get the diabolist spectre as well so you can ditch cwdt+enfeeble setup.Diabolist will always cast enfeeble so you can swap the enfeeble gem to convocation.Btw always recast your skellies bcs the skellies deal so much damage...btw my setup is even worse than yours too bcs i dont have +1 minion on wand.

Easy upgrades are minion speed on rings (18-22...requires empty suffix).
And crafted +1 to max zombies and skellies on body armour (requires empty prefix).

Oh yeah one more thing, get smoke mine as well.Smoke mine will help you during storm phases.Just throw the mine somewhere further than the storm that sirus spawn and kite the storm to the corners.Then detonate the mine to teleport to the mine location.

Thank you for your help!
What should i swap for it? or should i just get a ring with a socket?

@varmemester the minion speed on my rings are gonna be my next upgarde than :)

Tbh i just ditched the cwdt setup on the offhand bcs i have a taunt abyss jewel so my minion are always getting the aggro from sirus and i rarely got hit by him.So just put convocation and smoke mine there.If you're too lazy to colour the socket everytime you fight sirus just get the vorici 3 white socket bench.You need to have vorici in research lvl 3.

Brw this is also important.Make sure you have capped chaos res or atleast above negative chaos res when fighting sirus..will helps out a lot during storm phases.Im not saying it will help you stay in the chaos storm for long time but atleast enough time for you to get out of the storm without getting instakill when you are near the chaos storm degen.Get more life as well, i suggest getting the vermilion ring and try to roll high life with it.So far i managed to get 6.2k life/2.5k mana and i still can push even further.

I'll do that. I still have to upgrade my jewels too. So i have a few things to do before my next awakener fight. But im happy that this build is strong enough for the new endgame :)

My Chaos resist is something around 60% and will be at maximum soon i hope. Now its time for min-maxing this

thanks again for all your help! :)
