Should I go for a +1 ammy? Can't decide what to buy.
Can't see your tree, but I'd recommend a Doryani's Glorious Vanity - it adds a big ES buffer to prevent one shots. Otherwise it's about playing fast. With 6k life & Doryani's, bone barrier, instant enduring cry and good chaos res, it's relatively good survivabilitywise.
One of these wands with trigger would be better than your current +1. For your other one, pick up a +1 wand with an open prefix and craft minion damage on it. Total should be maybe 20-25c, but a huge damage increase.
If you can give up the resistances, then yeah, a +1, or even a +1/+1 skeleton necklace would be a nice upgrade for damage.
Is elder the best influence for a minion helmet? As I understand it that's the gem-as-affixes influence.
When fossil crafting are bound fossils not that important? I didn't see them in section 4.
Would you put a +1/+1 wand over a +1/high roll on minion damage wand or below?
Are there any corruptions I should target first? I'm running a lot of Alva and thanks to the new passives in Glennach I have a lot of corrupt rooms.
Not a crafting question, but have you ever tried farming phantasmal skellies yourself? I'm weighing farming grand heists vs gambling my lens. I will likely end up using the lens anyway, but if you have experience I would appreciate it. Thanks again!
For a helmet for minions to be slotted in, it has to be shaper + elder together. You use bound fossils to get +3 and minion dmg. For regular helmets, just a non-influenced one is fine.
Think of +1 as 10% more damage. If you're comparing naked +1/+1 to +1 & 50% minion damage, the latter will do more damage. But the former may provide a bit more utility buffing other gems as well. You have to play around in PoB for exact numbers based on your character (as each has different +minion dmg already).
RE phantasmal - I tried four lens last league with no success. I see you're in SSF, so that might be difficult. Warriors or mages may be better for you.
Nice! How many mil dps u will need for that? Has been a little bit afraid to do it.
Also do you have an idea what to use for chest after moving to hat? I am content with saquawal now, just curious what other options might be (aside of saquawal and belly which are quite obvious). Looks like you get hunter with %max life and offering?
Eleven mil or so in the video I think. The mage one was...six mil? You don't need a lot of DPS on Maven as long as you can do the mechanics. The hardest part is the final phase with the moving beams, but you can save vaal summon skeletons and take off a big chunk of her health there.
Something like this - this one only cost me 5c, a few jewelers, and one ex to slam +1 curse on the TFT discord (if they scam it...it cost me 5c lol). I'm running 3x curses right now.
Would that be more dps than saquawal..? 40% chance to double damage half of the time is cool
Anyway no place to run a lot of curses with trioffering.... but max life and increased offering effect would indeed be nice esp with trioffering. Need to play with pob a bit more.
Hi im a first time cold skeleton player, i have seen that it can deals a lot of damage but there is one problem im struggling with is i'm too quishy. Here is my POB can u take a look and tell me what im i doing wrong and what should i buy to progress

The first thing is to get your life up - you're at 4k, but you should ideally be aiming for 5.5k-6k. You're missing the "Devotion" node and the two small life nodes around it - that would bring you to 4.6k. By adding life to your other pieces of gear with under 50, you would likely hit 5k. With that boost in life, you should be able to level a few more times to get some more life too!

I believe it's 10% to do double...x2. But then half again because half the time it's the other one, so in total about a 10% more multiplier (more or less). Not a huge deal, but it's definitely a good option too since you're playing triple offering and yeah, no sockets lol.

At least pob tells me it double dips from 100% inc effect and grant effect to nearby allies (since aspect itself already give the effect to minions). Dunno if its true tho
Upside of inc offering effect is that mistress of sacrifice is reduced offering effect for u not less, so 9% block and 7% ms from 25% inc offering...

How do I link my tree? How does Glorious Vanity work exactly?
I'm at 5k life, maybe 5.1k, and I'm decently tanky. Not sure whether I'll be able to take on the conquerors as I clear the atlas/maps.
The socketed cast spell craft wand is super convenient and I won't change it until I can afford something better. I might get a +2 wand, but that's like 1ex or 2x. Think it's worth it for 1 gem level?

Oh not sure on the aspect then. If it is, then that's almost 20% more damage which is very excellent.
Offerings - yep, it brings it to 75% for mistress. Or 85% if it's elevated.

Check out my PoB in 6(2) or the picture version from 2-3 pages back. Glorious Vanity gives 20% of life as extra ES, giving you that nice extra buffer of life. I have it going down the right side for I believe five points.
5k life is enough for all content to be honest. 6k is safer, and 6k with a 1.5-2k ES buffer even better yet (I'm running 5.7 + 1.8 right now). Conquerors is more about damage since if you can burst them down before they even move, then it's super easy.
Yeah you need the socketed spell one, but what I mean is buy the temple mod with socketed spells crafted already onto it. You'll get maybe ~20-40% more damage rather than the 10% more that a naked +1 wand gives.
+2 wand is only good if you can get supplementary stats on it too.
The tree link works. If you have funds, consider some cluster jewels like the ones in my skeleton mage PoB and a thread of hope.

I'd like to get some cluster jewels for renewall/call to the slaughter/rebirth, but I'm not sure I have the points left at my level (85).
So, you think I should get a wand with a lot of minion damage instead of a +1 wand for now?
