Hi, sorry for the noob quesion. How or where do I get the vaal version of phantasmal summon skeletons?

You either have to buy one yourself (low availability), or corrupt them (I'd recommend the temple double corrupt).

Can someone tell me why is this important? "Helm – Animate Guardian, Auras - Be sure to keep this as 2 two links and not a four link!"

and second question - what skill can i swap for blood magic, cuz i run Carnage Chieftains atm?

If you're running chieftains, I'd suggest putting them into your hat linked with blood magic. You want it to be a different link from hatred since otherwise hatred reserves life instead of mana.

Put carrion golem or another supporting minion into your boots instead.

Major PoB revamp for the general PoB, and the level 4 skeleton warrior & archer endgame PoBs!


I both love and hate PoB. It's super fun to play in...but only when I'm motivated to. It took three weeks of procrastination to finally want to update them, and then three hours just flew by. These three PoBs are updated with my learnings from playing 3.13. Now to update the mages, phys, chaos, and other PoBs...

Level 1-3 gear & general use PoB in 6(2)
PoB: https://pastebin.com/58kG59yL

Level 4 gear for warriors: 6(3) - 3 seperate options for life & DPS
Pastebin: https://pastebin.com/VJV2GC0N

Level 4 gear for archers: 6(4) - also the one I'm currently playing.

Level 1-3 Gear for physical skeletons
PoB: https://pastebin.com/yResXfKF

Level 1-3 Gear for skeleton mages

I'll try to put up an end of league video for my 3.13 skeleton archer character since I'm unlikely to improve her further. As a preview, the current character deletes Maven invitations & Sirus never moves from the middle at A9.

Hey folks, level 80 currently and climbing doing the archer variant. How are people managing to have even dex? items we need that also have +dex cost an arm and a leg. I've just been running an Anstramentis but can't imagine a time I can drop it without spending dozens of ex per item

Archers need 111 dex assuming 20/20 green gems.

Base dex: 14
From tree: 20
Recommended Amulet base (turquoise or citrine for Jinxed Juju): 24
Total of the above: 58
111-58 = 53 dex needed from gear. That's "just" one tier 1 roll on any piece of gear. Since we potentially have an excess of resistances, some can be given up in favor of a tier 1 dex roll. Alternatively, give up one point to pick up "Expertise" on the tree, and have a lesser dex roll on one piece of gear.

For the level 4 setup with sniper's mark, a second tier 2+ roll is required.

iLL3aT, can you tell why we need to keep helm with 2 2links and not 4 links, when running AG, Generosity, Minion Life and Hatred?

and second one:

why predator is better than elemental focus when mapping?

Depends on what you put in your helm. You can keep a four link if the two supports don’t affect each other (some cause hatred to reserve too much mana). For Ag and hatred. Four link is fine

Elemental focus doesn’t let us freeze and chill - which is a huge defensive layer. A small amount of damage is not worth it in my opinion since mapping is typically easy anyways.

thx man

150ex let's try out this build!

How effective is the archer variant without vaal version? I have a hard spending 4ex for a chance to corrupt it to a vaal.
