[3.15] SKELEMANCER (Skeletons Summoner) 2021 Necromancer Build. 15M DPS. SSF + VIDEO GUIDE
|
It's the project that i've started in Flashback Incursion Event and then finished during Delve league.
Then during Ritual i started rebuilding it to qualify to the "high standards". STRONG, pretty FAST and EFFECTIVE! Also incredibly cheap to start!  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ With over 40+ active builds it is becoming hard to keep up with replies and comments, so make sure you follow me on discord, twitter and more importantly = twitch to ask for anything! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➤ All here: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► TWITCH: https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► PATREON to be real BRUH: https://www.patreon.com/angryroleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/angryroleplayer ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► TWITTER to keep notified on shit: https://twitter.com/RoleplayerAngry ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ► DISCORD to chat offline: !discord on stream ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ VIDEO BUILD/GUIDE: https://youtu.be/J2VKrAwlcd8 V 1.9 Update (23/07/2021): -Pob updated for 3.15 V 1.8 Update (06/03/2021): -Major build update and rework. New build guide and video. New pob, new items! New everything! V 1.7 Update (15/01/2021): -POB updated for 3.13 V 1.6 Update (01/07/2020): -POB updated for 3.11 V 1.5 Update (13/03/2020): -POB updated for 3.10 -fixed a lot of gear. Skeleton craft on chest is gone in 3.10 as well as -1 skeleton on a skill gem. So -2 skeletons in total. -Skeleton damage went down by 40% (numbers in pob will update later) -minion damage on a 1H went down to 66% max. V 1.4 Update (13/12/2019): -POB updated for 3.9 (added Pantheons so make sure you use FORK for POB) -added Gravepact anointment V 1.3 Update (11/09/2019): -3.8 PoB link updated. Levelling tress added! -Feeding Frenzy is optional instead of Fortify for Skellies. However it's not mandatory. -Carrion Golem added and is 2.5% more damage. -Added a DEFAULT Feeding Frenzy support to Spectres/ Animated Guardian. This way you don't really need Frenzy on Skellies for a buff. V 1.2 Update (05/09/2019): -3.8 PoB link updated. -Skeletons were greatly buffed, giving them more skeletons per cast, From Dust got better delivering more Skellies, all extra skellies moved over from the tree and into the gem itself. -Maim chest added as an end-game base chest, replacing Belly of the Beast -added new 6L in end-game section considering new chest V 1.1 Update (06/06/2019): -3.7 PoB link updated. No visible changes for now, just fresh! ====================================================================================== http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/skelemancer-skeleton-summoner-necromancer-build-for-path-of-exile/ ====================================================================================== How does it work, in general? You summon around 12-14 skeletons and they kill monsters with their CRAZY ASS WEAPONS while you are zooming through the map with Shield Charge. Ohh.. and you also have Spectres for Frenzy a Power Charge generation as well as optional Animated Guardian for more damage and defense. Skeletons are immortal during 4 seconds after spawn and cannot be damaged. ====================================================================================== 1) PROS
Spoiler
+safe across most content. Bosses offscreening. +high effective HP: can reach 8500-9000 HP. 75+ Chaos Resistance. +around 70% potential Phys Damage Reduction (Basalt, Taste of Hate, etc) and over 10000 armour. +great single target damage (around 20-30 million). +actually good for mapping +much better than Zombies as you don't need corpses to summon, also you don't care if Skeletons die. ====================================================================================== 2) CONS
Spoiler
-Mediocre clear speed because SKELLIES are not SPECTRES. Still faster than Zombies, for the most part. 3) Skill Tree Progression / Path of Building / Ascendancy / Bandits For the levelling tree please watch the video guide!

Path of building:
https://pastebin.com/Sd5Dusqc IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHILE IMPORTING OR ANY OTHE ERRORS, IT MEANS YOUR POB IS OUTDATED ORIGINAL VERSION THAT IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED. YOU NEED A "COMMUNITY FORK" ONE TO MAKE IT WORK: https://github.com/PathOfBuildingCommunity/PathOfBuilding For Ascendancy: Mindless Agression, Unnatural Strength, Commander of Darkness, Plaguebringer / Mistress of Sacrifice (if you feel you need duration) Bandits: Kill All ====================================================================================== 4) Early Levelling Gear / Skills
Spoiler
VIDEO HOW TO CRAFT A WAND: https://youtu.be/ho2IlQ0AWlo Get Explosive Trap after the very first quest, use it along with ZOMBIES. Once you get Multiple Traps, attach it to the Explosive Trap. Also start using Summon Raging Spirit if you wish, but it is not necessary 3L Zombies: Zombies-Summon Phantasm on Kill-Minion Damage 4L Zombies: Zombies-Summon Phantasm on Kill-Minion Damage-Melee Phys.Damage After killing Brutus you can get Skeletons as a reward gem from Nessa. For the gear, i recommend 3L Lifeprig for +1. Then buy Incursion/Bestiary Staff or a 1Hander with a lot of Minion Damage: These can be bought at level 40. Save all your chaos to buy these. Start using Hatred at level 24 (you will drop it later when you can more physical gems and damage). Buy a cheap Vaal Summon Skeletons gem with high quality. Buy a cheap https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bone_Helmet and use Blessed Orb on it when you can. Start levelling Animated Guardian and Spectre gems, but don't use Animated Guardian yet because he will die anyway. He should only be used in the very late endgame when you can buy good gear for him. Then just progress to the maps. There are many cheap uniques that you can use: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sidhebreath https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bones_of_Ullr https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Alberon%27s_Warpath https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Wraithlord https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Skullhead https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Mon%27tregul%27s_Grasp https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Severed_in_Sleep ====================================================================================== 5) My Actual Gear / End-Game Skills
Spoiler
For Uber Lab enchant: 40% increased Skeletons damage on a Bone Helmet Summon Skeletons 5L: Vaal.Summon.Skeletons-Awakened.Minion.Damage-Awakened.Melee.Phys-Awakened.Multistrike-Impale Summon Skeletons 6L Mapping: Vaal.Summon.Skeletons-Awakened.Minion.Damage-Awakened.Melee.Splash-Awakened.Multistrike-Impale-Brutality Summon Skeletons 6L Mapping: Vaal.Summon.Skeletons-Awakened.Minion.Damage-Awakened.Melee.Phys-Awakened.Multistrike-Impale-Brutality Jewels are very important. Get TAUNT and BLIND jewels as fast as possible. ====================================================================================== 6) Flasks
Spoiler
These make you safe. Use Forbidden Taste only if your chaos resistance is capped. ====================================================================================== 7) Pantheon Gods
Spoiler
Major: Arakaali Minor: Ryslatha ====================================================================================== 8) Hardcore Viable or not?
Spoiler
Indeed very viable. Just don't Shield Charge into death! ====================================================================================== 9) FOR THE RICH GUYS
Spoiler
GG high life jewels. Convoking Wand with high movement speed. Corrupted Gear. Skeleton helm enchant. ====================================================================================== MORE VIDEOS:

Spoiler
Start using Animated Guardian when he gets to at least level 19. Better use him in a +1-3 minion Helm or helm with Minion Life. These items make him last the most and be most useful/effective: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Southbound https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Dying_Breath https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Leer_Cast https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Victario%27s_Flight https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Bloodbond you can also use https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Ambu%27s_Charge, but Bloodbond. Drop them all on the ground and click (in a map on in lab) on Animated Guardian to let him use these items. If he dies = all will be lost and you have to rebuy/restock/reequip again. If you LOGOUT or quit the game you don't have to rebuy/reequip everything. Just resummon him. The best items are Garb of the Ephemeral, Kingmaker and Mask of the Tribunal with minion damage implicit. 2) Best Spectres for Defense / Offense
Spoiler
For defense i prefer Undying Evangelists and Heretical Guardians for their Proximity Shields http://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Heretical+Guardian https://poedb.tw/us/mon.php?n=Undying+Evangelist If you lose them - Desecrate the ground till you see a corpse of your spectre. Press and hold "A" to target corpses to check. Once you see the needed corpse cast SPECTRE on it. Better do it in hideout, otherwise you will have too much corpses to select from. For offense: Carnage chieftain, Host chieftain. Both can be found in Act 7 Ashen Fields. Also Arena Master for Onslaught. He can only be desecrated from the Drox, Warlord influenced maps. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer All builds: http://www.angryroleplayer.com/path-of-exile-builds/ https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2143469 Last edited by Angry_Roleplayer#6657 on Jul 23, 2021, 1:25:23 PM Last bumped on Sep 22, 2021, 11:19:16 AM

Maybe this is a stupid question but what passive nods should i strive to get early on, with the first PoB link?
Kinda interested to try this out for the flashback league as well x) But we arent using queens escape for this build though? Thought that sword was almost mandatory for skellies. |
|
" get Lord of the Dead and Grave Intentions first, then start grabbing life and go down to fat life wheel and Grave Pact. This is it. You can can grab Skill Effect Duration on the road as well for SRS and unspec later. Queen's Escape is kind not necessary once you get minion speed rings. And you loose a lot of damage and utility from not using 1h+shield https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

Hiya!
I'm doing a really similar build to this in flashback. I took the mana reservation nodes in the top left to run both 50% auras. I don't have the incr mana nodes and I have a slightly different path in the south to get more dex but otherwise very close. I'm finding flashback just murders my minions. Even AG gets mowed down before I can disable him if I hit a double perandus pack. I see you have a minion resist gem linked to AG, isn't he res capped with just the ascendancy and the node on the tree? I really want to find a way to make the skellies tankier without having to swap to femurs. Right now all I can think of is to maybe max out their block with bone offering and necromatic aegis. Have you run into similar issues at all? |
|
" What's your gem level of AG? Generally he should not be used till lvl 19-20. He's just a squishy bag. AFAIK he isn't res capped, but not entirely sure. What's your equip on AG? Skellies are kinda crappy in general, very low HP pool. Another reason why in most cases you need to use Empower instead of Ruthless in a 6L. THey might simply not live long to deliver 3rd hit. Empower lvl4 is what you need to aim for as it also increases their life. Bone Offering is a great choice btw. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

Hi I'm looking for a good end-game summoner build and wanted to ask if it is possible to integrate zombies to this build in terms of helping with map clearing via slam and survivability as constant meat-shields. I like having the persistent minions around and specters aren't my favorite to use.
I understand that zombies would probably not be great for bosses since they require corpses to resummon so if it isn't viable then that makes sense too. |
|
" I used zombies up till maps and then gave up on them entirely. For a couple of reasons 1) they are just very squishy and outside of Baron builds are pretty worthless. They will die instantly to ele damage no matter how minion resists you have. And without 6L their damage will be too poor to leech 2) they need corpses 3) it's not possible to invest im both skeletons and zombies at the same time. Zombies are absolute garbage DPS-wise without 2 slam jewels and a 6L https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

Hello Angry_Roleplayer,
Thank you very much for your builds! Would it be viable to use Summon Holy Relic and Scourge? |
|
" Hi! Scourge yes, you need to shield charge and hit every 4 seconds. Holy Relic might be useful at first, but in the end it;s pretty garbage. Dies all the time, as well as regen is pretty poor. https://www.twitch.tv/angry_roleplayer

Alright, this is what I'm going to use for league start. Love the build, though I would personally like to have more written down instead of just linking to the video. A lot of times I like to read the build while playing and it would make it more accessible. Though I will say that the video was well down and I look forward to more of your builds.
