Guide Updated for 3.9
Still kicking ass!

What are the changes?

The only change for this build is, if you want to play with 3 spectres to have Power- and Frenzycharges and a curse, you need a +3 Bone Helmet, a rare weapon with +1 to all minion gems (not advised) or use empower instead of an Animated Guardian.

The is the same as before, except that you will swap out the normal gems for their awakened versions if you get your hands on them.

Probably a bit damage down but as this is mostly just a farm build and not a boss killer, you won't feel that one bit.

Do I follow the pastebin or the text in the first post? I see Arcane Surge (Lvl 7) in the post, but it's Summon Skitterbots in the pastebin.

Not very knowledgeable hence I'm trying to follow as closely as possible. Thanks! (Why level 7 btw)

Use Skitterbots, brings more utility.
We used Level 7 so Arcane Surge gets procced with every single cast.

I understand that we are using Arc to proc EE, but can you help me understand how we benefit from it?

If I am not wrong, the skelemages shoot out all 3 cold, lightning and fire projectiles so the lightning ones will do lower damage?

How does it all balance out?

We make enemies stronger against lightning but weaker against Fire and Cold.
If you go for a Tukohama Vanguard Spectre you boost fire projectiles even more. You can play without, but EE is a huge buff you don't wanna miss.

Is this a build that can carry me in red maps and kill the map bosses with the metamorphs?

Hi,

as written in the guide. This is not meant to be a bosskiller build. Especially with the boss buffs. If you want to be able to kill bosses you will need more investments in your gear and definitely go for Tukohama Vanguard Spectres. Exchange GMP for Slower Projectiles for Bosses.

It can kill big stuff, but needs gearing towards it.

hi, thx for the build im having fun with skellies.

im trying to improve some things, testing some gems but i have one question, proyectile weakness curse affects our mage skellies?? because in POB pierce gem % more projectile damage increase damage but curse seems like has no effect in damage, only the knockback.


im trying freezing pulse (POB says that light dmg is higher than col thats beacuse im trying cold instead of lightnig for EE) GMP curse on hit and proyectile weakness and swich pierce for elemental army on skeletons, bot idk if try other curse (maybe defensive) and keep pierce.




thanks and sorry for my english.

Hi. This build is SO fun! I'm having a blast this league with it.
I was wondering what gems you recommend getting to 21 first? Looking to spend some money and figured I'd replace my level 20 gems.
I already have Summon Skeletons. Threw a 20/20 into temple gem corrupter and got a 21/20 vaal summon skeletons. So lucky.

Glad you like it!

Always 21 the active ones first. Supports are very nice to have 21/23 too but active get the biggest boosts.
