Infernalist Frost Mages and simulacrum

Pretty much im 94 lvl frost mage infernalist. Mages have around 9k dps on sheet. Tried already around 8 times to make simulacrum (+0) and every time im dying to the same wave around 10-11. My minions dying from burning ground or simply they cant keep with mobs spawn, or even trying to run around and timer reseting, so i need to run around 30 sec (cuz dying one by one) before they respawn again, and mobs just keep killing me.

I have 8k ES (15k stacked) full res etc. Tried multiple gem combination

Its the only content i cant make. WTF ? What do i need to change.

Simulacrum tends to break for all occult skill builds other than maybe hexblast simply by the virtue of "no corpses".

Outside of absurd gear investment, the only thing I can think of is try to stack up heavily on minion defenses and minion respawn time, and pack a lot of extra clerics with ingenuity socketed to freshen their resurrect, and meat shield to push their ailment and stun thresholds WAY up.

Consider working in some extra crowd control sources if possible as well, like if you use corpse explosion or unearth normally to help with clear consider changing them over for bone cage for pins, or overwhelming presence to help your mages freeze things. Bone offering linked to pin could also help manage it.

Also, let me know if you sort out a way to get it done, because as a skeleton snipers build that relies on unearths for my battlefield control, I also haven't managed to clear a t0 simulacrum.

Well switched to snipers crit/phys scatter shot + fork, done to level 4 in about 1h

Frost mage absolute trash, sniper clear all

He probably wanted to say that there is a big difference between Frost Skeletons and Snipers.


I was playing from the very start as cold skeletons, and i found them godly vs bosses, but at juicy 16+ maps they were very frustrating and thier clear speed was kinda low. Some content like simulacrum/delirium was dead to me since i couldnt clear fast enough as cold. Ofc it might be skill issue, gear or w/e. Anyway since changed to snipers like i said before iv done simulacrums without any problem, tier 16 juicy maps pretty much faster by 50%, using the same gear, boss kill speed the same as cold ones. The one thing i changed is that i dont use spirits, spaming flamewall is clusterfuck, so using it only to detonate on bosses if neede.
