To start off with I would highly recommend trying to get a full stack of divination cards that grant you a 6 link and then craft from that, essence crafting is a good cheap option.

This is a great point. Divination cards for 6-link chests can be farmed or traded. It's much easier than using fuse orbs.

I'll add it to the guide!

The gems also seem like a while away as even my main gems are not lvl20 yet let alone 20/20..

Back to the grind..

Always pick up 'superior' gems and keep them in a stash tab. Sell to a vendor when you have a total of 40% quality. You will get 1 gcp.

I think most people get level 20 gems around character level 90. Sell the level 20 and the gcp to get level 1, 20% quality.

Re-levelling to 20/20 won't feel too bad because you will be doing higher level content and killing more/faster.

My variation of this build includes Kingmaker/Gruthkul Animate Guardian and Queen's Hunger as a mean of offering spam. Done everything including UE. DPS and Tankiness is great.

Queen's Hunger is very nice because it triggers the Offering and applies it to the necro.

I'll add it to the build as a 'build option'.

What do you think about Breathstealer gloves? In particular with Righteous Army?

Edit: Tried it, feels like a mini-HH. On top of that improved minions.

The only problem I can imagine is Wrath aura because that will give the necro lightning damage and cause a problem with EE.

Another possible issue is there is no life roll.

Apart from those things, it looks like an interesting choice.

From my experience the only posssible auras are: added ES, mid/greater added physical damage, life regen, attack-cast-movement speed, accuracy, allies cannot die.

I always struggled to cap my resistance when starting to map if I wasn't running a crit elemental build (35-40% passive tree/bandit all res). So would you just count on your minions to cap your resitances or do you overcap it (Bone Armor Ascendency)?

Regarding spectres, would you recommend just sticking to Slave Drivers? Their Aoe on a 5L is kinda meh, I guess inc aoe will help alot? Or should i still go for solar guards for mapping?

1) I usually go through three stages: first I cap resistances, second I overcap for high tier elemental weakness and thirdly I revert back to normal cap because I try to squeeze as much relevant affixes out of equipment as possible (life, elder affixes, minion affixes, etc)

2) I used only Slave Drivers and they were awesome from start to finish. Save ~40c and buy yourself 6B 6-link and go to town.

Ah OK, I wasn't sure because I just checked on the wiki.

I'll have to buy a pair and test it out when my Internet is fixed...

In the early game, I generally just get enough to cap rather than over-cap, so around 75-80%. Your minions will give you 30% res from Bone Barrier, so you only need about 45-50% from gear.

I recommend Goatman Fire-Raisers over Solar Guards. I actually never use Solar Guards. GFR use both fireballs and magma orbs. Magma orbs come with pierce, so do you don't need to link it as a separate gem!

For Blight, you can link Feeding Frenzy and stand near the pump and go make a coffee :)

Edit: I've been using GFR for the past 2-3 weeks for the Blight resource grind and encounter 2. I'm also using GFR for Aul carry service.

Did this build in SSF, it's really fun. Thanks Kay! As others have said, this is a really well put together guide. I especially like the crafting recipes you provide. My gear:



Note: my animate guardian RIP'd and I have no gear for him any more so it's gone from my setup for a while :'(
