[3.14] Odif's Old Obsolete Skel Mage Guide, New one is in a new thread

Really not sure how to add more survivability...

This is my current gear.



This is tree:



7818 HP.
Max glancing blows block.
Soul of Lunaris and Gruthkull.

Get randomly 1shot in Ultimatums, I feel like any damage roll on the map forces me to waste currency to re-roll it. My damage feels honestly lackluster unless vaal summon skellies are up, and even then...

Suggestions?

I'm dirt poor, like, 2 ex and 100 chaos. Nothing worthwhile is dropping anymore.

Getting a shield +2 max res goes a long way,and if you want to push tankiness even further you can opt into Anointed Flesh.

Personally, I'm liking running 3 perma endurance charges.

In terms of damage - getting +2 wand is huge especially if it pushes you to lv 25 skeles, since that's the break point for another max skele (or you can opt for +int gems on neck).

Hi! This build is really fun to play. I'm really enjoying it.
Here is my stuff



My question is, how do you get the 160 dex to use Lioneye's vision?

Thank you very much!

An easy way would be to drop a Careful Planning into the jewel slot to the southwest of the Witch starting area. You can get up to 70 easily that way.

If you feel like being crazy you can try a Brutal Restraint in the jewel slot above it since that adds dexterity and other bonuses to everything in the area and it can roll some good mods for minions as well as yourself.

Dex on amu, rings, rare jewels. Catalysts on jewelery if need. Also Dex can BE on cluster jewels small passives

Succesfully fitting all Zealotry, Anger, Skitter bot and Aspect of Spider into my build, with 59 mana unreserved. Next to find a sacrifical garb with +2 to skill and additional curse. My skelly will be lethal to even the biggest boss :D

With aspect of spider and 20% to hinder enemies with spell, now I can slow those Guardians down enough so my skelly can comfortably hit them. Also it make thing a lot easier during bossing, invitation and Ultimatum. I shall upgrade further, to 30%, or near 40% chance to hinder if possible.

You just need ring and amu with stat quality to get exactly 160.


Another good tip is to take alternative quality from harvest on Lioneyes itself, this way you can have +15 dex on it (which probably beats the usual +15 hp).

Pierce is my only Dex gem now, and it's hampering my ability to tier into better amulets and gloves. If I scour down a few levels, do 3 target pierce matter that much, over 4 targets pierce? Right now Gem level is 18 and I could have to scour it down to 14 or so. Which kinda hurts but having to throw Dex on gear is starting to get kind of limiting.

It's worth it to get up to 155 Dex so you can use lv20 Sniper's Mark on bosses. If you wanna take a look at my character, I get my Dex from:

Ring - 43, tier 2
Amulet - just 16 from implicit
Large Cluster Jewel - 90 total from 10 small passives (12 minus two jewel slots)

Investing in a Large Cluster with a high number of passives, no notables, and good bonuses to small passives is a great way to get the stats you need.

Urgh. I just built a Large Cluster with +Max Mana and Minion 10 percent damage for Passives, two Medium sockets, Call to Slaughter, and Renewal for Notables. Sort of wanted to take it for a spin :)

DPS isn't the problem, Defense is the problem. Also not sure where I'm going to come up with 11 points lol. I do need to settle on an Amulet and annoint that sucker so I can spec out of some tree. So many things to do!

If you have any piece with empty suffix you can try some gambling with t4 aisling veiled mod. You can buy her in tft discord for 2.5 ex maybe, or really Quick do yourself.

Yeah the problem is I'm a scrub at the low 100's in C

Still trying to scrape up enough to get my Breathstealer. Thankfully prices are dropping and we are barely 1/3 of the way through League. I'm shooting for Lira Arthain Blight farming but regional map hunting is slow going.

Betrayal is probably my weakest point. I have noooo idea how to place these people. I just hit random stuff.
