Kay not sure if you've messed around with it yet, but Rathpith and Necromantic Aegis work REALLY well with skelly mages. You lose a bit of defense not having a shield, but if you stack health in passives and extra suffix slots you can get something like 350%+ spell crit and spell damage for the skellies pretty easily. I've been working on the standard skelly mage build with Fleshcrafter, but with Rathpith and Necro Aegis and 3 multi Grand Spectrums. I've gotten up to around 600k dps per skelly mage and I don't even have a 21 vaal skeletons gem or a +2 to +4 chest yet. Lots of room to grow dps wise and really hoping a minion tester like yourself will give it a shot.

Are you sure that actually works?

As the wiki has this for Rathpith "The increased Critical Strike Chance and Spell Damage modifiers do not apply to Minions while Necromantic Aegis is allocated (as minions are not players)."

It almost certainly does. I've been running it for 20+ hours of gameplay so far and whoever added that to the wiki read some bad information from people misinterpreting Chris's post about the player's life effecting it and not the minions life. It's actually a major item for skelly mages as you'd be pretty hard pressed to find 300% spell damage spell crit on even the best Fossil shield. You'd have to have max minion damage, minion skill gem, and minion crit and it's still not even close.

People actually tested the shield on AG's and found it working when they're equipped with a Rathpith and Crown of Eyes.

Unfortunately the wiki having that blurb is VERY misleading and a LOT more people who want skelly mages back to their full fervor should be looking into this.

Okey i might have to test that with my other necromancer.

Templar tactician for clear and skelemages for anything that stays alive long enought for me to notice and summon them.

What is an easier spectre to get in SSF besides Pale Serpahim?

I can't get it and I need something else with my Carnage Chieftain.

I've put a little showcase of (non uber) bossing and maps of the Necromantic Aegis Rathpith skellies together. My gear is pretty good now, but definitely room for improvement. Defense are basically all player driven (DIP DODGE DUCK DIVE PROXIMITY BUBBLE) as you have no shield to block with, little to no armor, and 0 suppression. I will add a Kingmaker AG in at some point for Fortify to help, but haven't yet. Honestly I think Ascendant Necro/Guardian may be a stronger Ascendancy for this build as Necro doesn't have that much to offer for the casters skellies.

I got mine through allocating the points on the atlas and crafting some Beyond maps. The Lake Beyond also works well.

If you work on it, it's not hard to get them on SSF, trust me!

I love the Legion, Deli and the Harvest Encounter. What build would you recommend? I'm playing spider atm but the Legion Part is really hard with it
And maybe possible for Blight maps

If I roll my current AG gem to Divergent will I lose the items I have on him?

The AG's gear is saved to your character. You can change gems :)

I think skele mages are best for legion or lots of density because they have ranged projectiles. Link with pierce + volley (or awaken GMP). You can get vaal charges quickly too!
