@shaob - Two +1/+1 is really strong. I'll be going for one of those expensive ones in the PoB as my next major purchase.
@Imiona - I turned off sound just for that dumb spectre lol. Now that it's gone I have sounds back and it's pretty glorious. 3.15 ❆ Cold Skeletons guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2774965

Those frostbite/life/minion damage rings don't come cheap on a good base. But oh man there's a beautiful 25ex ring with life, dex, frostbite, curse, rez, and then a free suffix.

" Mine cost 15c I think early on, but doesn't have a lot on it. Still, I don't think pretty much any ring is worth 25 ex ever. 3.15 ❆ Cold Skeletons guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2774965

OP I picked this up today for a low 50C.
Got the 1500 vaals / fusing. I just DON'T WANNA mess this craft up as i've never done it before. Just to be clear - I color the 3 red and 3 blue FIRST then i do the "Six Linked Sockets" So... STEP 1 = At least three blue slots (and hopefully get 3 red too as it'll be easy probably due to the base) STEP 2 = Six linked sockets I'm 99% sure this is fine ^^ just wanted to be clear. Also I got this beauty today :D EDIT 1 ::: Done with it EDIT 2 ::: Ok - this is insane. I finally refuckulated my resistances to 75 all ... with 6k HP / 1.7k ES still. Happy as hell with this - my vaal skeleton is LEVEL 30 NOW!!!!!! Is there a way to GO HIGHER? This feels INSANE! Edit 3 ::: - Question for OP or anyone. Is avatar of fire worth keeping solely to use frost bomb? I was thinking since i replaced my old wand which actually gave cold adamage requiring me to path avatar of fire...That I could now remove the notable and put it in 10% more health. I'm considering it - but to my knowledge frostbomb is better than armabrand for applying EE? Last edited by shaob#4892 on Oct 14, 2020, 12:42:34 PM

" Nice chest and nice wand. There's a couple ways, but it's either inefficient (empower) or expensive (+2+1 chest, or even +1/+1 corrupted with +1/+ chest). Past 30, each level only gives 5% more damage, so it's not really worth it. Your choice - EE is easier to proc with arma brand due to it being an instant cast, but frost bomb + avatar of fire does more damage (bigger exposure, 25% vs 10%). 3.15 ❆ Cold Skeletons guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2774965 Last edited by iLL3aT#4109 on Oct 15, 2020, 12:30:11 AM

I never, ever see a Thread of Hope with medium range in the market. Do others work?

" https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Heist/G6Xrz59Fb Medium ones are 2-3x more expensive compared to small ones, but still quite cheap (~30c). I would recommend buying one of these directly, but I think you could also buy a small one and then use divine orb on it (1/4 chances you should hit 'medium'). The benefit of buying a medium directly is that you can see what's the res penalty (the smaller the penalty, the higher the price). With divine orb you would re-roll res too (and pray to RNGesus).

" This change (got a ring with both frostbite & minion damage) brought a large damage increase to my skeletons (from 550k to 750k). " My two cents here after experimenting with this: 1) Sovereignty definitely makes an important difference, but only if it allows you to summon skeleton twice in a row without waiting (i.e., bring your mana to around 90-120 - depending on your mana regen) 2) I am not a big fun of "From Dust" for fast map clearing. Usually, I run fast in maps and summon 4 skeletons on each horde of enemies. In this way, I am able to clear most t16 map in less than a couple of minutes. However, with "From Dust", the summoned 8 skeletons often overrides the previous ones that might not have cleared their horde yet (mostly where there are 3-4 hordes very close to each other). Plus the 1 second penalty is also pretty bad, as I can no longer run fast all the time (the wait is short, but still non-negligible). Finally, "From Dust" also "steals" a gem slot that could instead be used for more functional attributes (e.g., life / minion attack speed / etc.) Last edited by dmodolo87#1680 on Oct 15, 2020, 2:51:34 PM

" They are expensive, but not too much. I got this a couple of days ago for 50c (not the best, but definitely worth it): |
