[3.9] Pure Phys Skeletons & Friends Necromancer — Beginner/SSF/Budget Build
" I thank you rly much. I just bought a kingsmaker ( got lucky with a few drops and got a few ex burning a hole in my pockets) Someone in chat mentioned, i should buy a Mask of the Stitched Demon because the guardian would be Invulnerable with this and a Skins of lords. But i tend to not believe people in the Chat, so i would love to hear the opinion of the wise necro's of these Chat. |

" WTF, where did you find this setup as advised lol, in a zombie build perhaps? Not in these columns that's for sure. Zombies do close to no damage, especially as they're supposed to be your meat shield and stay close to you. You can pretty much remove all the gems you have currently supporting your zombies to go with (Zombies - Meat Shield- Minion Life - Animate Guardian) as you said. |
|
" Yeah, it was not here, I just did it because I wanted to squeeze out more damage at the beggining when I had no money and bad minion stat gear, and I completely forgot that this was not the original setup from this build, lol. I will go with that, thanks!. Last edited by idkwat#6167 on Jan 10, 2020, 4:10:16 PM

Currently I have feeding frenzy in my gloves setup to make zombies agressive.
It really helps for blighted maps, but I would really want to try Animated guardian with a cheap setup not with the KigsMaker. Is the boost from Animated Guardian really that much that I could drop feeding frenzy for zombies ? How do the zombies really function, if they are not aggresive when they are getting hit they go and start doing damage ? Or with meat shield and feeding frenzy they just act normal, attacking when they are attacked ? Can someone please explain how my gem setup in the gloves work ? (meat shield + feeding frenzy ). If I drop feeding frenzy will my zombies just be a pile of meats just not to take damage ? Will that hurt blighted maps clear ( I leveled up and quality up melee splash just for blighted maps for skeletons in order to clear fast , but in hard times they seem to struggle). This is my first league as a Minion build since I started playing poe like 5-6 years ago when I had no clue what I was doing, mostly because even though Zombies do shit damage it is still damage done and helps. Still need some experienced person to explain to me if I should swap feeding frenzy with a cheap animate guardian. Also : Does Sirus gain more damage with +awaken level ? On the Atlas it only says life and map modifiers increase. And last question : How do minions cap rezistances ? They have native 40% , we get 15 from Indomitabile army and 10% from Sacrifice, were is the rest 10% coming from ? Never invite Vorana, Last To Fall at a beer party.

" Thanks for the heads up. I noticed in the end of thee video that it seems possible to take out the Animated Guardian gem, then put it back in, and recasting it. Have you lost your Guardian and how? Any rules for safely messing with it? |
|
" I noticed that in your edited jewel you have: Nearby allies gain 15% increased Damage 10% increased Movement Speed for you and nearby Allies Where do you find those numbers? Thanks |

Would really appreciate if someone experience could take a look at my above question.
Would really like to temper with AG , now that Sirus storms have been nerfed would like to take a guardian along to try and take him out on AW8. Already crapped on him on AW5 with my current build. Also note that I kept on avoiding to play necromancer builds just because of AG because I didn't want to keep on losing him and having to get items always from the market. But now I want to see the value of it and try it out. Never invite Vorana, Last To Fall at a beer party. Last edited by Vendetta#0327 on Jan 10, 2020, 4:39:54 PM

Thanks everyone for being super active on this build!
The guide says to use Ruthless when doing boss but i've seen you guys use Multistrike instead so which is actually better? |
|
" We use both, because we use normal Summon Skeletons. Vaal Summon Skeletons is good, but it's not consistent during real hard bosses, for instance on Sirus you can really only use it once. Not sure about Shaper or Elder, and also, we don't know how much damage they actually do, by using Impale - Multistrike - Ruthless the damage is consistant and you gain almost 300k dps per skelly . here is my setup: Last edited by idkwat#6167 on Jan 10, 2020, 5:03:32 PM
