>>> Watch 3.19 Critical Strike Skeleton Mages build guide video on YouTube <<< About the Build
Critical Stirke Skeleton Mages (high budget)
ABOUT This is a high budget build that scales the DPS into 10s of millions by focusing on critical strike damage. However, the build leans more towards glass cannon than super tanky. The support minions are also a bit squishy, so you need to keep an eye on the Animate Guardian. I made this build on my Guardian, but it can be adapted for the Necromancer with some changes. SKELETON MAGES The build uses Dead Reckoning to summon skeleton mages, which shoot enemies with fire, cold or lightning projectiles. And the Fleshcrafter unique body armour allow them to completely ignore all enemy’s elemental resistances. Passive Tree & Jewels, Ascendancy, Pantheon and PoB Pastebin

Gear, Gems & Links, Flasks
GENERAL Here is an overview of the gear, including gems, links and examples. You will need to self-craft some items with fossils and essences. Also make sure you have 75% elemental resistance, and positive chaos resistance. HELMET The helmet has +2 to all minion gems and reservation efficiency. The enchant should be Skeleton damage. And it should also have +1 skeleton number, if possible. The gems are: Anomalous Raise Spectre, Anomalous Stone Golem, Divergent Animate Guardian and Anomalous Feeding Frenzy. For the spectres, I’m using 2 host chieftains, 1 carnage chieftain and 1 pale seraphim. Feeding Frenzy makes the AG suicidal, so it might be better to use Meat Shield or Elemental Army instead. BODY The body armour is a +2 Fleshcrafter. It can be +2 duration or +2 minion. The gems are: Vaal Summon Skeletons, Awakened Minion Damage, Awakened Spell Echo, Divergent Predator, Increased Critical Damage and Increased Critical Strikes. I swap critical strikes to Summon Phantasms for mapping. GLOVES The gloves are Vixen’s Entrapment to get a second curse, as well as auto-casting the socketed curse. The gems are: Sniper’s Mark, Precision, Convocation and Tempest Shield. *Self-cast curse is socketed in the shield. BOOTS The boots have Brittle Ground for +2% crit chance. The gems are: Zealotry, Haste, Awakened Generosity and Enlighten 4. WEAPON The wand has +1 to all spells, +1 to minions, and trigger. And the gems are: Desecrate, Spirit Offering and Life Tap. SHIELD The shield has +1 to minions, increased critical chance for minions and life recovery on block. The gems are: Flame Dash, Steelskin and Punishment. *Punishment is the self-cast curse, which triggers Sniper’s mark in the gloves. *Alternative* You can make the build tankier with Aegis Aurora and swap Haste aura to Determination (no generosity) AMULET The amulet is Ashes of the Stars. Reservation efficiency is the most important mod. And the anointment is Arcane Guardian for extra spell block. RINGS Use your rings to get lots of life and resistances. I also used my rings to get enough Strength and Dex. BELT The belt is Darkness Enthroned with two best Ghastly Eye jewels. RECOMMENDED FLASKS • Life with bleed immunity • Basalt with extra armour • Quicksilver • Bottled Faith (regen + 10% damage taken) • Rumi's Concoction 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰 🔶🔷🔶 Kay's Summoner build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3179145 🔶🔷🔶 Last edited by kayella on Sep 17, 2022, 3:52:07 AM

Thanks for your updated mage skeleton guide... gonna use this now for hardcore.
Any additional recommendations for a necro version in hc since this should have more survivability? | |
" Try to get as much spell suppression as possible! Just to keep safe when block doesn't work. The damage is overkill, so definitely use Aegis aurora + determination (swap shield and haste) if you can! You can also think about using shield spectres instead of dps spectres. The proxy shield + increased duration is very nice! 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" I think SRS works best for Guardian. Melee minions need movement speed and Guardian gives 40% ms (necro is just 10%). 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" Actually not sure, but I notice many people say that golems have bad survivability now. It's better to use Elementalist for auto summon, but I probably won't remake the build for 3.19... 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" I think you don't have the Aul's amulet yet? It's very expensive... try unlink empower and increased aoe from Malevolence. Then swap skitterbots to Discipline. It will you lots of ES. 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰

" It shouldn't die so easily... how is your chaos res? Also you can try swap skitterbots > discipline. it will give about 600-700 ES. 🔰🌀✨ Video guides on youtube! https://www.youtube.com/KayGaming ✨🌀🔰
