" Malevolence + Aul's amulet is the last upgrade. Before you get Enlighten 3/4, use mana efficiency amulet so you can have Determination + Tempest shield. You can get 10% mana efficiency for 5c: https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/mb0anXzT6 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" Just to make this more clear for Morále, Determination and Malevolence don't have the same mana reservation because we take an Armour Mastery node to reduce Determination's reservation. We have no such option for Malevolence. As a sidenote, I have 67 free mana and I never have any issues. I don't have Aul's yet and can't use Malevolence. I have a level 19 vitality gem and no Enlighten Support, some extra mana from gear and 53 mana regen/s. So there is plenty of room to mix and match stats as you work your way to optimal gear. Just try to not rely too much on a single piece of gear that will make it hard to balance the rest. Keep in mind that we rely on our boots and rings for stats in the end. |

I am playing the srs build in ssf and now I am searching for Pale Seraphim Spectre. Did plenty beyond maps, didn't saw a single one. Bad luck or not possible anymore? Could you please tell me which spectre I could use as an alternative until I get a Pale Seraphim?
Thank you :) |

" Ah! I forgot about the determination talent. makes sense. I also have everything but the auls (and the crazy expensive eldritch jewels.) the only thing im not using is malevolence. I have 90 unreserved mana and its working fine. I only have a level 2 enlighten atm. its close to leveling up, but even with a lvl 2 it works fine. |

" I fixed the mana problem. Forgot about vitality efficiency! Body: Molten Shell, Awakened Generosity, Malevolence, Skitterbots and Enlighten. Boots: Determination, Vitality, Tempest Shield. Swap Determination mastery > Vitality mastery. This will give you about 200 free mana (260 with original build) 160 free mana with Enlighten 3. Lose 1.5% dps and extra area on malevolence (doesn't really matter). you get 2 free sockets though. 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶 Last edited by kayella#0845 on Sep 8, 2022, 11:01:49 AM

I've made an updated build for skele mages in 3.19. A lot less DPS compared to 3.19, but still viable for all content except Uber bosses. So it's just a medium budget build.
But, you can definitely do Ubers if you have higher budget: https://youtu.be/V_XMdyhyKts (uber shaper)   >>> Watch 3.19 Skeleton Mages Necromancer & Guardian build guide video on YouTube <<< About the Build
Skeleton Mages
ABOUT  This is an easy to play minion build with good DPS, clear speed and survivability. The build cost is medium, depending on the market. Note that skeleton mages require the Dead Reckoning unique jewel. The build also uses the Fleshcrafter unique armour.  SKELETON MAGES The build uses Dead Reckoning to summon skeleton mages, which shoot enemies with fire, cold or lightning projectiles. And the Fleshcrafter unique body armour allow them to completely ignore all enemy’s elemental resistances.
Difference between Necromancer and Guardian
NECROMANCER MORE SURVIVABILITY Both has 75/75 block, but Necro has 100% uptime for both block. Guardian have 75% attack block for 2s every 5s (Bastion of Hope) so sometimes his block is about 35%. GUARDIAN MORE DPS Guardian's ascendancy gives 40% cast speed and unnerve (enemy take 10% increase damage). Passive Tree & Jewels, Ascendancy, Pantheon and PoB Pastebin

Gear, Gems & Links, Flasks
GENERAL Here is an overview of the gear, including gems, links and examples. You will need to self-craft some items with fossils and essences. Also make sure you have 75% elemental resistance, and positive chaos resistance. The gear is the same for both the Guardian and the Necromancer. The two differences are the offerings and the amulet anointment. HELMET For the helmet, you want +2 to all minion gems and reservation efficiency. The enchant should be Skeleton damage. And add +1 skeleton with your crafting bench, if you can. The gems are: Raise Spectre, Stone Golem, Anomalous Feeding Frenzy and Minion Life. For the spectres, I’m using 2 carnage chieftains and 2 pale seraphims. Buffs are more reliable if you have two of each spectre. BODY For the body armour, use Fleshcrafter so your skeleton mages can ignore elemental resistances. The gems are: Vaal Summon Skeletons, Awakened Minion Damage, Spell Echo, Predator, Phantasms and Pierce. The phantasms help with damage and map clear. And your other minions recover 5% life when they die because of Life from Death. You can swap Pierce to Hypothermia for more DPS in boss fights. GLOVES For the gloves, I recommend Breathstealer for the Blighted Spores, and to get Charisma anointment. The gems are: Tempest Shield, Sniper’s Mark, Determination and Defiance Banner. BOOTS For the boots, I like regen per Endurance Charge and Brittle Ground. The gems are: Zealotry, Generosity, Raise Zombie and Minion Life. You could replace the Zombies with Animate Guardian if you’re not scared of him dying. WEAPON The wand should have +1 to all spells, +1 to minions, and trigger. Guardian gems are: Desecrate, Flesh Offering and Life Tap. Necromancer gems are: Desecrate, Bone Offering and Life Tap. SHIELD For your shield, I recommend +1 to minions, and life recovery on block. This might be too expensive to buy or craft. So, just choose either life recovery shield for survivability, or +1 shield for more DPS. The gems are: Molten Shell, Flame Dash and Convocation. AMULET The amulet should have at least +1 to all skill gems. For Guardian, the anointment is Arcane Guardian for extra spell block. For Necromancer, the anointment is Testudo for extra attack block. RINGS Use your rings to get lots of life and resistances. I also used my rings to get enough Strength and Dex. BELT For the belt, use a good Stygian Vise with a nice Ghastly Eye jewel. You can also use a Darkness Enthroned if you want more DPS. RECOMMENDED FLASKS • Life with bleed immunity • Basalt with extra armour • Quicksilver • Quartz with remove burning • Rumi's Concoction
Trade links / Upgrading from starter
Most important is Blessed rebirth on your cluster jewel. Can buy or craft it yourself. 15c https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/mv6G2grH6 Then get Fleshcrafter. Ignore ele resistance is a big dps boost. You can start with 5L https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/XmaJwE4TP Next look for shield with +1 gem and life recovery. Usually need to craft yourself. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/b7pX0laiL +1 wand. Should be pretty cheap. +2 wand can be later. Maybe helmet next. I think it's best to get the crafting base and make your own +2 helmet with Bound fossils. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Kalandra/q4Q9P5pSg 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶 Last edited by kayella#0845 on Sep 9, 2022, 1:20:24 PM

" Thank you so much! I lost interest in my non-summoner build that I started the League with, while waiting for the summoner changes to shake out. I'll now start a Skeleton Mages build. |

|
Thanks Kay.
For Skeleton Build, you start with SRS then transition to it later, right? |
