Is there anything else to improve?

Pretty impressive across the board. I'd strongly recommend the Animate Guardian in one of the zombie support slots as long as you aren't doing any special content where he would die. I still haven't ever seen him dip below 80% health.

A +1 intelligence skill gem amulet would probably give a boost.

Great idea, i already put

I had two goals. Add minervals to my build and use 2 curses and address spirit offering/flesh offering canceling each other out. If you want to keep spirit offering Obviously you don’t spec into commander of darkness and should consider what to do with flesh offering and your total gem slots. In a 2 wand setup this is prob the way to go either way. Ultimately I think the biggest things are getting pride in the essence ring along with the 2 curses including minervals is a huge boost to this build.

I get that. But they are not totally cancelling each other out if you keep spirit offering in the CWDT and flesh in the wand with "Trigger a socketed spell". I'm doing that right now and it feels pretty great. What happens is, I map along with flesh offering up all the time. Then suddenly I get a big hit, and spirit procs. Fine. And Flesh cancels. Okay. The important thing is not dying. I then cast more skeletons thereby activating flesh again and cancelling spirit whereby I get my normal doryani spirit shield without buff. But thats okay. Because the spirit offering took care of the immediate big hit.

I realise you can do this manually, but automating the proces without needing to cast flesh offering is nice. It doesn't feel like I need to juggle between the two. I just play and get the best of both offerings. That's how I see it.

if i want to put an AG into my zombie setup what items to put on him does any rare with life and so on work or are there spezific stats that i should look for ?

Depends on how much you want to spend really. There's a few different setups for various budgets. How much are you looking to spend?

Hey Guys, 1st very nice work here!

This is my 3rd build in Metamorph and i´m liking so much. But i have two questions abt this build, could you help me?

- My resistances are capped, but only when I raise zombies, do I have to cap without zombies ?

- On PoB the Total DPS shown is for all skellys or just for 1 ?


Thank you very much !

Thank you very much !

Most people just balance their resistances around the assumption that they'll have the extra 30% from Bone Armor. Just makes things easier and it's rare that you're without minions.

PoB shows the DPs of 1 skeleton so multiply that by your max number of skeletons.

Two quick questions. Firstly how to get Merveil's Retainer? Entering map with "Area is inhabited by Sea Witches and their Spawn" mode is the only option?

How "trigger socketed spell when you use a skill" craft excatly works?
For example if I use Vulnerability-Desecrate-Spirit Offering combination and cast curse manually - will 2 other spell cast as well?

Work towards getting a Kingmaker to replace the Dying Breath.
