At first I assumed that maybe mine were squishy because I didn't have god-tier gear, but it seems that many people playing spiders have the same issue.

Right now I switched to just golem and Victario's Charity as I said in another post. Any other suggestions are welcome!

I added this in edit of my other post!

If you just use Carrion Golem, link divergent withering touch. and in the dagger swap withering touch to awakened phys damage. This will give you more DPS.

For faster mapping, you can also try d.melee splash + minion speed + melee phys (this is the old build's dagger links)

Can this go on 6L armor and also cast Carrion Golem with Feeding Frenzy all the time? That would be fun! If mana cost isn't too high.

Maybe too expensive :(

Withering Touch on golem is just to help build Withered stacks faster, along with Occultist Withering Presence, right?

Hey guys!

So I finally got everything to switch from Melee SRS to Kay's Carrion Golem build.
I found out that there's very little defense for my golems, zombies, spectres, and AG.
So I bought a "Very Large" Thread of Hope and socketed it in the Jewel Socket that's right above Lord of the Dead.
And it gives me access to both Indomitable Army and Ravenous Horde, which the former one gives some defensive layers to all my support minions and my golems.
The sacrifice are the 2 points to get Mystic Bulwark, in my case.
Unless the map has unique Harbinger bosses and Beyond (or anything with similar difficulty), I haven't notice my minions die at all.

For anyone who's also playing this build and want to have some layers of defense for their minions, that's my solution.
Hope it helps!

hello, this is my first time playing with this build. Which gems should I use for 5 links?

For Skeleton mage I have fleshcrafter 5 link :)

In addition to the first reply:
As far as I can tell from PoB, with assassin's mark and power charges from monkes, increased crit damage support is better than minion damage (and in fact, better than anything else).
Also, volley has lower damage penalty than GMP while still providing decent coverage. I use lesser volley and have no issues.

hi, awesome build! atm just finish all the acts and doing some small maps to get to lv 73, but i wanna ask if there is any option for swapping animate guardian i hate that mechanic :/ can i put in the helmet something like a carrion? xd

edit: i play skeleton mages xdd

Carrion doesn't really help mages (he adds phys damage)

I recommend Stone Golem. He gives you extra life regen.

:D thx, i switch to the golem atm, mmm going to try equip my animate guardian with the kingmaker thing xd and see


One more thing :D idk why i cant have more than 3 spectres and 12 skeletons o,o i have +1 in the helmet, +1 amulet and my raise spectre is lv 18 (total 24 with items and global modiffiers) and says i can summon 2 spectres o,o but i cant manage to raise more than 3

When you get level 25 Raise Spectre gem you will be able to summon 4.

So I've got a question concerning my minion wand. (Running skeleton mages, with zombies,spectres, animate guardian in chest) I've been rerolling suffixes with veiled chaos for minion cast speed, but landed a T1 minion res roll trying to clear a roll with three suffixes. Does the T1 res roll have any value to the build, or would continuing to roll for cast speed be better? I know with the cluster notable they're invulnerable on summon for a few seconds, so I didn't know if it was worth it for my minion army, and I'm planning on leaving this as my wand for the remainder of my time on this build. I plan to craft trigger socketed spell on it and slam influence in the hope of hitting % increased effect of zealotry.

Any insight would be appreciated!

I reckon it's pretty good! It helps the support minion's survivability.

Thanks for the feedback! Another idea is pathing to Decay Ward. It's 5pts but should get block cap and 2% life recovery on block.

Kind of!

I linked it with the spiders to stack withered quickly, but the more chaos damage is not as strong as melee phys. It's actually better to use it on the support minion.
