Thanks for the build, I really enjoy it! Is there a way to increase the skeleton survivability? They would last 60+ seconds but die almost instantly :x Thanks!	Posted by romaen#0798 on Dec 27, 2019, 2:52:16 AM Quote this Post
Hi guys! I just stumbled upon this build today and I was wondering if I could get some insight. I've been using Kay's Spectre build (Pledge of Hands version) but I feel rather squishy even with closer to end game items. I was watching Brunowa's videos in this guide and he looks super duper tanky and seems to do more dps than the former build. Since rerolling passive tree nodes and items to use this build will cost quite a bit I wanted to ask those who have tried Kay's build, how does this build compare in terms of dps/survivability if you've tried both?

Could someone take a look at my build? I just do not feel like I do damage. I believe I killed a T14 boss and metamorph but it felt soooo slow. Am I screwing up something major?	Posted by DeadExcuses#3431 on Dec 27, 2019, 3:18:24 AM Quote this Post
Felt a bit bored this morning and tried my luck again, 100 jewelers and fusing alter... 2nd time this league! Mittens is your new god! worship Mttens! Now if I could somehow get over this random and Constance disconnected to main menu...	Posted by snowmittens#5923 on Dec 27, 2019, 3:18:36 AM Quote this Post
I find I am getting nuked pretty hard by some packs and metamorph bosses. I've taken the more defensive stance. What can I do to increase survivability?	Posted by the_dankh#1611 on Dec 27, 2019, 3:33:49 AM Quote this Post
THIS NEEDS TO BE SAID: REGARDLESS of how you build this setup auras or skeletons, this skill or that, once you have about 20 watchstones and are running t16 maps you will still get fucking one shot even with 6k hp, 5k shield, shit tons of health regen and leech. Your minions will also get one shot by certain bosses regardless of everything. This build can only go so far and what and it's limits come fast. The conquerors at about 20 watchstones will just one shit you even through a 70% dmg reduction, baron life leech, extra life leech, more mitigation, it won't matter. They're doing nearly millions of dmg (true one shot). ALSO Your AG will die, you shouldn't even be using one. I'm not saying this is a bad build, but it has issues dealing with many differnt bosses and modifiers.

Although skellies show higher DPS in POB, that's just an indicator. Calculations for minions can also be so varied depending on what is selected. Whether your calculations include every buff the zombies get I am not sure. Actual gameplay is the real test. And my experience is that in game it is so much smoother and you constantly have zombies up without stopping and resummoning. Your minions run so much faster so you can speed through maps more. Boss damage is amazing... I literally have no need for skellies as I see no point in trying to shave off another 0.5 seconds off a boss. In saying that, again, it's all personal preference. But in my testing, zombies far outperform any skelly setup I have done for both speed and bossing. why u think that u need to summon skelles during mapping? im running t16 with zombies, and summoning skelles for boss/morph. switching from geofri is good idea in terms of dps or if u stick to standard league with bunch of exalts u got. maybe in standart u just doing sonic adventures to boss area, here in metamorph league we are running map all around to get organs, and summonong a boss which is more powerful than any map boss we've ever seen. since i felt lack of dps at t16 for bossing (mobbing for me was fine), i bought 6L queen, and placed there zombies+skelles with frenzy/multistrike/melee phys/impale(probably minion dmg is better, but 4blue sockets is pain). with this i have zombies and skelles in my build, and i free up 5L chest for auras. because running zombies in weapon with frenzy/multi/phys/minion dmg and skelles with frenzy/splash/phys/minion is stora weird idea, i was just duplicating support gems. 3 of them. im mobbing with zombies only, and firing skelles for boss+morph. in my 5L i placed hatred/war banner/vulnerability/blasphemy/generosity. using geofri, its 5khp+4700ES under offering buff, and i wouldnt say that im immortal, im tanky enough to facetank all packs of mobs, but at t16 130% some rare kitava guardian can shot me from 9k eHP, running victario makes shaper gloves unefficient, i assume ill end up with 2k ES at best case. i dont think that 7k eHP is enough to to stay alive. maybe if i had watchers eye or random kalandra drop, i would invest to watcher's eye to get ES from it, pick some HP/ES nodes and after that grab victario for auras, once ill have enough ES without geofri, but well not now. also u seems really underestimate skelles, they are really useful if u know how to use them effectively. at any delve encounter they are useful, u just summon them while mobs are spawning and they with couple of zombies melting everything. skelles are also EXTREMELY useful at blight/legion encounters. at blight u can spam skelles at one spot of blight portals, while u with ur zombies can go to opposite side. legion can be cleared fully just by summoning vaal skelles at right place, u just need only to run at outer ring to kill rare mobs by using convocation to teleport zombies and then go to next spot. after all while morph is spawning from bottle, u have like 2-3s to spawn all those skelles. i just think that 50skelles will give u more dps than any support gem for ur 6L zombie setup.

This is actually a good idea. Run both your zombies and skeles on weapon and then auras on your chest. I'm gonna give this a shot.
