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

Yeah that's a solid option if you're having a rough time in delve. I haven't delved very deeply (164 is my lowest currently) so I haven't run into that wall yet.

For me when I noticed I hadn't pressed Vaal in like 10 maps I figured I might as well just get a big boy regular one. It worked out for me but it may have just been my error in not knowing how to use it properly.

I started to give the CwC setup a shot and then remembered I'm using wands lmao

hey guys,

first thanks for this great guide.I am relatively new to the game ( frist time endcontent).

Chaos Res my dude. A lot of Sirus' damage is phys converted to chaos so if you're at -30 chaos res you're going to get one shot by that.There's a lot of stuff in maps now that kind of puts forth a lot of damage including chaos. It's more important than ever to at least be positive on it. I have 55% and that feels pretty okay.

We can't tank a "die" beam. The best advice for that I have to offer is actually staying close to him and looking at what he's doing. Look where he's targeting and constantly be circling around behind where he looks.

When he teleports away, flame dash in the direction he went but at a slight angle to avoid an incoming beam. It's just better to stay close funnily enough.

Had that same moment a few days back...then sat there feeling like an idiot for awhile after I realized.

Hello guys, following this build and Im loving it so far, havent died at all but just finished the acts today, and did up to t11 maps, I will try higher tier maps and some conquerors tomorrow, but I-m really lacking some HP. Any advice? That's my current setup. I'm at 4.4k HP right now and a 400 ES, but I want to get to at least 5.5k HP for Sirus.

Will a shield help me get more HP? What would be the benefits of a shield and/or dual wield wands

Ok here are my recommendations

1) Drop the skill 'Ravenous Horde' (we will add it back in step 3) and the path to it, this will give you 7 skill points to play with.

2) Apply your newly gotten skill points to the life skills on the lower left side around 'Warrior's Blood', this will pretty much match the OP guide.

3) Replace your amulet attunement with one for 'Ravenous Horde'. This will put you in line to what Solanales did for his changes, which is what I think you were trying to do by taking 'Aligned Spirits'. This will give you more DPS at the cost of minion survivability, but they are not going to die anyway.

4) I was having survivability problems myself and the root of the problem was that I was not casting the 'Bone Armor Skill'. Not sure if you cast it or not, but it greatly upped my chances of not dying. I am sure that you are probably using it, but wanted to bring it up just in case.

5) It seems in this league that you need more chaos resistance than normal, I am currently at +35, but I think the recommendation is to go higher than that (bottom line is the more the better).

The only sad thing with this would be abandoning my Ahn's Heritage shield. I love the fucker. +100 life, 1400 armor (great in a setup where we don't have that much armor otherwise), 29% block, +3% all max resist (even chaos!). Shield Charge for ultimate mobility (on open areas, in dungeons it gets awkwardly stuck on any corner or pebble)...

Which gems are you skipping when running Shield charge? Would love some more mobility and benefits of Ahn's Heritage, but don't like to loose spectres as suggested in the build guide. Or are you somehow able to fit spectres in as well. And are you running a shield charge, fortify and faster attacks setup as suggested in the build guide? Thanks for you inputs!!

Vaal Skellies refill super fast though, especially when your minions are running around destroying everything, you can use it like twice or thrice in a map before the boss and then you can keep them for the metamorph at the end. Just make sure to pop it for the boss at least since it will last for the metamiprh

What minor Pantheon is everyone using this season? Gruthkul seems meh atm

1 question, why are we not raising CWDT to at least 1500-2000 hp, in order to get a higher spirit offering ?
