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

Hello everyone, updated everything as the forums have suggested, however I feel like I am being one-shot more now, than before the changes. I have about 4-10 ex to throw depending on what I sell next, any expert advice would be appreciated.

Resistances are 80/79/79/57.
Next thought was to find another vermilion ring with T1 life and T1-2 Chaos res to cap that also. After that to find a pair of Armor based boots with Warlord influence to craft +1% Max fire res. I could also spend and go for a +1 all int gems, but I don't know if it's worth it.
Damage seems fine, no idea what I'm sitting at. Some Metamorphs and T16 Elder guardians take over a minute, but the rest don't usually.

Edit: I have a kingmaker in my stash for my AG when I feel more comfortable with it not dying, although I echo everyone else that says it's health has not dropped ever after equipping it with Southbound, Belly of the Beast, Dying Breath and Leer cast.

Question:

When a text says '#% increased physical damage' does it count towards minions physical damage?
What about '#% increased damage'?

Can someone point me on which page is the Animated Guardian debate?

Thanks :)

Undisputed kicked it off around the bottom of page 197. Then it went for... quite a long time. Probably up to and including page 215

Sadly not. It would have to say "Minions deal #% Increased Damage"

Thanks for the great guide, however I am running into something really weird. My Skeleton's do Zero damage. I switched from a Spectre build to this one and with that build my skeletons were doing a ton a damage.

I thought maybe the game bugged out on me, so I restart my game, and still nothing.

I do have a Vaal gem at level 20 with +3 global modifiers, and the gem setup you suggested. I am lvl 87 myself and have most of the passive tree filled out per your guide. Still, even if I had a level 1 gem, they should still do damage I would think.

Any help would be great. I will continue to see if I can figure this out.

Thanks.

hello I have put the doryani and I have left 3 corrupt souls. I should put them all or only one?

Triad Grip + Brutality is probably your problem. Triad Grip is converting your minion damage with 3 blue and 1 green socket to 75% lightning damage and 25% cold damage.

If you had Brutality socketed, that will force skeletons to do no elemental damage thereby giving them literally zero dps. Triad Grip is not recommended for this build. Hopefully that helps.

Hello, since i am mostly following this Guide and it comes nearest of how i like to play Summoner, i like to share Mine!-)

First off English is not my native Language and there might be some Misstakes in use of it. I play Summoner 7-8 maybe 9 Leagues now and started with SrS, these is my second attempt tp Skellis and first Time it feels Great. What i really liked in my SrS Builds is high Life Regen (800-1600 per sec) and Haste instead of Pride. That does never mean it is better or something in that Direction, i really like it, thats all. Haste is QoL for me pure, more MS for all and on Top something i never like to miss since Incursion is introduced. An Watchers Eye with perma Phasing as long as i am affected by Haste. I run no Curses cause i am to lazy or better told already to much in use of other Things and its really not needed for me. Even Flasks, i do not like the Style PoE has now in Case of Flasks. So more Defense was much needed and perma Phasing is so huge, better try it yourself!-)

Now my current Gear;



My Profile is open if like to take a look at my Jewels. I looked to get over 10% with Taunt and Blind with 2 Jewels each and grab MinionMS therever i can and after that MinionDamage. Life is most importent Stat for me on each Piece of Gear as maybe seen.
I do not use Spirit Offering-Cast then Damage taken cause of lack of Soxes, if i had em more, i would really like to use it. I use my Zombies and an Animated Guardian in Helmet, my really helpfull Spectres only as 3Link (RaiseSpectre-MeatShield-BloodMagic) and CarrionGolem is only linked with Maim. If anything dies, its my CarrionGolem and that does not happen often.
These League, Garb of Ephemeral is much cheaper as ever before and on AG its a big + in Defense. Helmet is selfmade with Pristine+Jagged for these "nearby" Delve Mod for Physical Damage, Weapon is an Singularity which i really like since Blight League for its "nearby Enemies are hindered" Mod, Shield is an Oak cause of its high LifeRegen and BaseLife (could be improved with an Rarecraft but its really not needed), Gloves is typical Southbound (i look for corrupted Ones with Life% Implicid) and Boots are Victario's Flight. My MainSource of Damage are the Skellis and thats really enough for me. An Amu with +1 to Int Gems pushes all really good. Combined with Ascendancy´s +2 and 2 from each Wand i do not feel i am in need for 21er Zombie or AG Gem. Spectres i have already 4 and choosed 2 CarnageChieftain- Host Chieftain and an Temple Guardian for its ProximityShield (Undying Evangelists irritates me to much while playing with there Attack). These ProximityShield was not intended but worked out nicely since Spectres have MeatShield support and look emselfes to be near me.

One Thing i like to keep each Summoner in Mind is



In an blighted Map or an Delve, Rampage brings much boost for All and mix some Fun into Gameplay. All really need to do is put Belt on for 1-2 sec and switch back to normal One. As long as Mobs do not End, Rampage will also not End!-)

Hi guys, this i think is the final build for me as i tested pretty much everything on those forums. I went for the animated guardian with kingmaker and the doryani jewel. I gave up MoM so i dont have to sacrifice 500 hp (because of essence worm) to keep pride. Also went to 50% chaos res. Impale, generosity and pride, casting vulnerability, swaping mutli for splash on mapping. 7500 life with 2k Es that goes up to 3.5k when spirit offering pop up from the cwdt setup. 1.49 million shaper dps per skellies.

Btw thanks for the whole AG kingmaker thing it's great! Shaper, uber elder and sirus 7 all down (that was before AG kingmaker lol). Gonna try Sirus 8 later on.



Let me know if you have other greats ideas to improve this! Next ill be leveling and finishing to buy awakened gems and also might buy a bone helmet with the 40% skellies damage though at this point increasing dps is starting to be overkill!
