With the body armour you suggested either using the unique one that will let you use health instead of mana to cast your spells or use mana flasks / stick to 4 links only. I see a third option: Use lifetap as the sixth gem until you get the unique. That way you have 5 links without mana problems.

What do you think?

Question on Sentinel of Absolution unit levels and gem levels -- how do they correlate?

You can see the damage that they do depends heavily on their level (the lvl 84/82/78/73/68 tabs) here:
https://poedb.tw/us/Sentinel_of_Absolution

But what level of Absolution gem do I need to get a level 84/82/78/73/68 Absolution Sentinel? I can't seem to find that anywhere.

well well, I found Odif and his shenanigan's again

I ran your skellie mages when u first posted it on SSF long time ago

This league I started my own SSF absolution necro and was doing very well, then a 21/20 raise spectre dropped...first thing I was thinking was add slave drivers and then I found this build

I'm currently using 3 charnge/power monkeys for charges and will probably will test slave drivers instead

I'm using skitter bots +unbound ailments instead of generosity + wrath, it's a bit less damage but uses less mana and add a defensive chill

Also a 5 linked fleshcrafter might be a huge upgrade to the build, i'm sure it will drop eventually

The only thing I hate about absolution is the ramp up on big bosses, it take forever to get them up.

Edit: the SD feels better on dps but then I took them heisting and lost 3/4 despite having a strong recovery for their health
They are as squishy as ever on harder content and absolution was very strong for leveling. I see no reason to use them.

Hey odif, about this build, if i have "curse enemies with Conductivity on hit" on the ring, do i still need the "trigger socketed spells when you use a skill"? for the bone offering?

Currently working through the league at a more pedestrian pace than usual (who'd have kids right?), and enjoying so far. Just noticed there's no guidance on belts, am I right in presuming a a standard Life+Res setup or stygian?

Also, any recommendations on suitable transition minion-builds for red maps and beyond?
Thanks!
