I'm considering switching my Skin of the Lord on one with a useful keystone. Which ones can be used except Eldritch Battery, EE and Solipsism ? And what combinations of Blue and Green sockets are OK to use for SO setup ?

hey, deadandlivin first off love the post and the time u put in to. So I got a few questions now I say that I'm on standard first. so no new spec for me. I only play a few times week being older gentlemen lol I don't have time to sit behind the computer all day wish I could. lol, I try to upload my pics here can't do it. my profile is on here if u don't mind looking at it. I started with your Intermediate Budget build guide

first, the question is what colors and what gem/sockets should I run with. don't mind the skin of lords I have on now. I'm getting one with the ee on it I want to buy the right one I don't care as much about clear as the boss damage and so after reading your post on spec's ill probably go with crushclaws for specs or?

sec, the question is can I run that assassin mark on my ring instead of frostbite, or should get a ring or item with frostbite on it here is my ag set up

the helmet has a lot of armor on it and has -9 cold resist and life regen per sec and some res's
chest doppelganger
boots windscreen
weapon kingmaker
gloves is an armor base with curse elemental weakness on it and armor life/regen on it

that's about it for the questions any feedback be nice and or any info on my gear be nice thanks. sry for a long-winded post thanks

Hey, love the post, I just got my skin of the lords with ele equilibrium and trigger wand with added fire damage to spells. However there's one problem: My animate guardian has a helm that adds flat cold damage that is greater than the fire damage I'm adding to spells. Any solution other than changing helmets on AG?

Few things. Have we looked at putting Carrion golems in our Chest? +2 on all gems. Awakened minion give +1 to Carrion golems. Wouldn't it make sense to put our Carrion in our chest unless we have a 8 link helm? Its +3 to Carrion and 22/23 lvl support gems.

I'm surprised people feel the need for Auls for Grace. I'm running T14-16 deathless and only dieing to Conquerors when I'm being lazy. I do have Bone offering and vaal grace in my setup though. Im just running a basic stat amulet and pretty sure I'll get a +2 gems. The only thing I feel lacking is bossing damage. Then I need to upgrade my wand from +1 to +2 and get lvl 21 gems/awakened.

Since you're playing on Standard I'm gonna assume you have more money to work with than other players so I'll link the new Intermediate budget I've been working on here:

https://pastebin.com/NgSaTn6x

With higher budgets we will be going all out on crit stacking because it's the best way to scale the build right now. This includes replacing Frostbite with Assassin's Mark and just getting as much crit multiplier as possible.

This means that a 4blue-2red Skin of the Lord will be BiS for lategame purposes of the build.
3blue-3red and 3blue-2red-1green are also somewhat competetive choices but don't really come close in terms of raw damage. Simply put, we're getting close to 100% chance crit chance with Assassin's Mark and Brittle so 150% extra crit multi can't be competed with.

If you want to be strong at bossing I would go with Crushclaws. They don't have any rampup and don't need to spawn phantasms like the SO version does.
The SO version technically does more dmg, but in endgame gear, by the time the SOs has spawned all phantasms and starts going at it the boss will already be dead.

Assassin's Mark level 12 vastly outperform Frostbite if you have a brittle shield. At lower levels, Frostbite is better. If you have a good Assassin's Mark ring already, use it.

Your AG gear is perfect.
