[3.9] Discomancer - Skeleton Mages | SSF HC viable | All Content | Budget

Wanted to say thanks for the detailed build walkthroughit has taken me safely and cheaply right up to t16's but must admit i had to tweak a bit with zombies + steelskin + MoM to survive the metamorphs. Would be interested to know how you and others are dealing with Sirus ? Thanks again for the exalts :)

Sadly have no reports of Sirusfights yet. But probably, like for every boss, GMP <-> Slower Projectiles with Tukohama Vanguards to reduce Sirus' fire res to oblivion.

Good thing is, Sirus is more a movement encounter than a damage one, so it should be quite "easy" to do with the skeletons once you know his mechanics and are not unlucky with tornado placement.

Just had to make a post to say how much I adore this build and am so glad I stumbled on it.

However, I did tweak it:

-I run a Spectre/Skelly Mage hybrid. The combination absolutely decimates everything on the screen and bosses drop in seconds
-I use Arc to spread Elemental Weakness to provide consistent cursing and allow me to utilize ALL spectres offensively
-I spec'd into Sovereignty to allow me to use Haste + Zealotry/Anger. The cast benefits from Haste are noticeable and so satisfying
-I prefer Meat Shield with golems (just a preference)

Gear is below. Im still grazing through the story and this is my only character this league so I still have a bit to go:


I have the following items that I will incorporate once I've 5/6 Link:

Interesting Take-on on the build.
How well does the PS4 run the disco ?

Truth be told i already tried him and the dps and survivability was fine up until my run got bricked by black holes everywhere, so i guess it wasnt a once off and ill have to wait till they fix it. I honestly cant be bothered going through all the conq spawn shenanaigans again so i guess ill just have fun with trying things out in maps as im too scared to try leveling past 95 with the amount of random oneshots are possible this league. Ill post what happens if i try him again and thanks again for the fun build.

Update:
Sirus down, not dealthless but doable, just gotta watch his aoes and ALL the beams. The nerf/fix also helped alot :D

Perfectly fine. Occasional crash when i spawn Vaal Skellies, but it's rare.

I think I'm gonna eventually switch to ES focused build once I've acquired decent gear.

Downed Sirus with this build, ez pz. Got more than enough damage to do it, just need to move your ass a lot more and keeping EE + flesh up

Awesome! Thanks for the info. If you want, share your items and stuff with the thread, so others can see how manageble it is :)

Amazing build, but I have some questions.
1) What order do I ascend in?
2) Any gear I should look to get to help me level?
3) … I'll get back to you once I remember what I wanted to ask.

Thx for your time!

Sure, just a slightly different variant using zombies and winterorb to proc EE.

Took the "Whirling Barrier" keystone to add to more survability, works like a charm. Zombies would help to draw agro away from you via proccing meatshield taunt. Rarely die to metamorphs now, thanks for the build btw.
