Is vaal skeleton gem mandatory?

Vaal skeleton 20/20 or 21/0
vs
Skeleton 21/20

Which one is the best?

Is +max skeletons on items really needed? Like in alberons warpath

21/0 Vaal > 21/20 non vaal > 20/20 Vaal

Alberons are good budget shoes when getting started.
But you should look into getting rare boots with brittle for the lategame.
if you're running Brittle boots on your AG it doesn't work very well. The AG will never run in a way that allows for the brittle to connect to a boss.

I dont know why, but when i checked in POB, the dmg from vaal version is almost half.

For skele mages what is better
5 link flashcraft or tabula?

Tabula is 8c
5L Flescrafter 30c
+2 Tabula 40c

Against pinnacle bosses 5L fleshcrafter with 20/20 Sniper's Mark is better because ignores res. (but you need 155 dex).

+2 tabula with 20/20 ele weakness and 8% pen mastery is almost the same DPS.

I think mapping is better with +2 tabula though.

if you went with the 5 link fleshcrafter, what gem would you take out of the setup? i would think either pierce or volley, but not sure which?

is 60 mana enough for skelly mage??

I dont think 60 mana is enough, personally, i have problems with mana on maps, so i always leave like 120 unreserved mana

I just realized the end game pob don't have determination mana reserve node in the armor mastery which made me have 60 instead of 100+ mana

Yeah it was rely on Ashes of the Stars because I didn't think ggg will nerf the drop rate so much :(

If you care more about mapping, take out Predator. 3b2g

If you care more about bossing, take out Volley. 4b1g

Most of the time you use the normal skele mages from casting the spell.

For big packs (harvest, breach, harby) and bosses you also use Vaal. It's an easy DPS boost, lots of projectiles and body block.

Level 21 skeles have about 12% more damage than level 20. 20% quality is 20% increased damage.

level 20 skele = 1664 damage
level 21 skele = 1864 damage

If you have 300% increased damage overall:

20/20
1664 x 1+(300% + 20%) = 6988
21/0
1864 x 1+(300%) = 7456


+1 max skele is better for mapping (extra projectiles).

Brittle boots is better for damage as Deadandlivin said it. But you need to run under the boss every 4s to make sure the brittle ground is under the boss. It's fine if you have good knowledge of boss fight mechanics. I didn't put it in the guide because my idea was to make the build easy to play.

For going from the minion army to melee SRS, do I just use respec points to remove the parts of the tree which don't get used in the SRS build?

Hey Kay loving the skelly build. Probably my strongest character yet and im "only" and Ashes of the stars away from completing it. Im getting super into bossing, any advice to make them bone boiz stronger against single target encounters

Can you please make a pob for non Ashes of the Stars end game pob?

Currently playing physical golem what would be the choice of the fourth spectra? currently using 2 frenzy chief and one power chief
