Skellies is just for meatshield, dmg comes from totems/spectres/traps. MI would make your precious spectres die when u could maybe save them via poting + you want ranged specters with projectiles meaning MI wouldn't contribute much to your dmg output.

thanks gonna add the spectres and try it without skellies and see how it works, hopefully they arnt needed becasue it seems a like a pain to use them.

holding down a button and standing still is hardly considered painful considering how much defence it gives you.

Selling the best caster dagger on default if anyone wants to bid.

Sure to skyrocket your totem DPS.

Ok i took Lord of the Dead and bought Bones of Urrl, they cost my 3gcp and then about 1gcp to make them 4L (most i've ever spent, i'm broke now lol). But wow is it good, my dps just sky rocketed!

I kept Elemental Weakness obviously but switched out Frostbite for Projectile Weakness. I just can't bring myself to take Flammability and lower the dps on the spears, i mean they have been good to me, i owe it to them.

How would Frost pulse instead of ice spear work? Frost pulse + spell totem + LMP + cold to fire + chance to ignite + faster casting

dont do that sht here.

I know this is a really good build end-game and all, but for someone's first char would it be a good one to start with? Say I'm really bad at finding parties, should I still stick with this and suck it up or just make a ranger? I'm still eventually going to come back to this one, I've always been biased to the original "Mage" classes.

I want to ask with ur build, about Cold Penetration with Faster Casting. Should i use Cold Penetration instead of Faster Casting (4L: IS + GMP + Spell Totem + ???)? -32% Cold Resistance will make more damage or 36% casting speed will be better?

"penetration only ignores mob's resist if it has any, therefore cannot go below" <-- did you test it? I'm confused..

"Let's say mob has 100% cold resist. Cold pen ignores (not remove) 30% of resist, for example, so your damage will be done to mob who only has 70%. penetration only ignores mob's resist if it has any, therefore cannot go below 0 (if mob has no resist, you ignore nothing)."

i have mana issues and it slows the game play down. I dont have the links to use reduced mana yet.
I will try it both ways gonna level the gems either way thanks for the guide love the build.

I've been working on an Eldritch Battery/Life version of this (basically a mixture of yours' and grrumbles' builds) and was wondering if this would be an effective alternative to the CI version?

It would have enough buffs to mana from EB, etc. to have more auras which should improve the quality of our spectres and skeletons as well as allow us to still be extremely helpful in team play without summons (in case others are getting lagged)
