[3.14] Odif's Old Obsolete Skel Mage Guide, New one is in a new thread

Hello guys, I am new to the game, just almost 2 weeks, and this is my first build in game, so this may be a stupid question

I got the Bone Barrier in the Ascendancy, which grant me the 20 level Bone Armour, while it shares the same cooldown with Immortal call, should I remove the immortal call for other skills please?

Just wanted to say thank you for this guide, lucked into a few raw Exalted drops today and splurged on the Breathstealer gloves.

Holy cow it made such a difference. Yeah, my screen is just a vomit mess of colors and graphics during Ultimatums but the sheer # of buffs you and your minions are getting is insane.

I was wondering though, are there any suggestions on what your 2nd annoint should be after Death's Attunement? Or just go with whatever feels good for each person's build?

Looks good on paper,

would say if it feels nice to you then it is perfect! Some of you guys like boiled brocolinis


Tried similar combo last league, I don't like to get stuck channeling if not necessary

Unnerve is nice though


As the post became fairly confusing with noob and pro tips
confusing noobs in the way wich his not nice
Are you guys interested in another thread to discuss about MOM/Agnostic, hight end clusters, Animate guardian setup, craft and such?

Hello, I want to thank you for the guide, really thank you. The build is great you can advance without any problem during the campaign, I just reached the endgame in ultimatum and for now it is going very well. TYVM

Spoiler

If you want to auto apply unnerve a pretty expensive late game combo is to equip Animate Guardian with Unnerve mod rare hunter gloves, maven orbes to get to 100% appliance. It's not good vs packs of mobs but shines on bosses.
don't do it unless you have currency to burn!!

Yes please!

Also update on my situation, I grabbed some cluster jewels with blessed rebirth and life from death and my minions aren't dying anymore. I still feel like I could do more DPS but I gotta put more investment into it.

Im trying to add spectres into the build, any good spectres for skeles dps boost?

So im a bit confused. How to get the Skeleton Mages. Do they only get summoned when using Vaal Summon Skeleton after getting(andsocketing) the Dead Recdkoning Jewel?

The Vaal version has a special one shot skill that you need to remap to another key. It's a normal Skellie summon. Then once you gain 50 souls of killing things, it will glow and you can use that skill for a massive summon of loads of special skellies.


The Dead Reckoning gem makes both summons skellie mages.

Maybe I'm missing something really obvious or the guide hasn't been updated fully, but Spell Echo says it doesn't support vaal skills so doesn't work in the linked sockets listed.

Edit: Otherwise loving this build. I just got lucky enough to have a Vaal Summon Skeletons drop fairly early on.

That just means it's not going to Echo a Vaal skill twice. One click will bring six skellies instead of 3. It's not going to give you two Vaal summons of 50 skellies :)

That's all that is telling you.

Hi
Why We use Death Attunement annoint ?
Does Lord of the Dead won't be better with damage boost?

Hi! Thanks for the guide, first minion build and going nice so far.

I have a question tho, i can't proc EE for some reason and don't know why, i don't have any added elemental damage on wands and on rings either.

What could be causing that? My profile is open to public to see

Thanks a lot in advance!
