Minion Poison Support Gems and Auras?
|
I want to run a Skeleton Warrior/Archers Poison build.
Looking for some guides in what support gems to use? For Warriors I’m thinking Minion Damage, Wile Toxic, Poison support, Empower, Multistrike, Melee Phys? I’m going to use a lord Chest with +2 gems so empower will be +6 so my skeletons will be lvl 31 and Auras I am lost :( Thx hope somebody can give some pointers Last edited by ibaass#5102 on Aug 21, 2022, 12:00:50 PM Last bumped on Aug 31, 2022, 6:45:54 AM

You need united in dream, a chayula chestpiece or 4x ghastly eye jewels with the poison mod to get them to 100% poison with chance to poison support.
Your gem setup sounds right, Skelly/Empower/Chance to poison (remove if you can get 40% from other sources), multistrike, withering touch, unbound ailments is probably what i'd go for. If you get rid of chance to poison probably melee phys. If you are running archers vicious proj for multistrike and void manip for chance to poison. I would avoid minion damage as skellys are feeble enough as it is and try to get the +30% dot multi ghastly eye jewel as that is a huge dps bonus not available to minions any other way AFAIK. |

" Auras would be Envy (United in Dreams) and Malevolence. Both are 50% auras, so this is purely dps and zero defense. If you want to run a determintation or grace as well, you´ll need some serious mana reservation plus determ/malevolence enchantment as well to squeeze all of that in. Also consider the new covenant chest, its bonkers for this sort of build but also expensive. If you want even more dps get the Iron Mass sword and dual wield it with United in Dreams. This sword is going to grant you withering touch and unholy might but only works for skellie warriors not archers. Anyways, both swords plus covenant would result in some 30-35 mill dps but your defense will suffer greatly as a consequence. |

" What about using Add chaos damage support gem? Did minions not get bugged in flat damage this patch or somethink? Or are ohter support gems just better? Also if you get jewels with minions makes % more chaos damage ? |

" I would like to have some defensive auras too, so if I have to chose what is best Envy Aura vs Malevolence? Thx Not going to be using united dream, going to get 60% from 4 jewels and the last 40 form poison chance support. I can get both envy and Malevolence I can use any that gives me free lvl 15 envy. But if I chose somethink els then what is best of those to :) Last edited by ibaass#5102 on Aug 31, 2022, 12:45:55 AM

Envy is just flat chaos dmg, which is good but there are other sources for that like the already mentioned covenant chest or abyssal jewels.
Malevolence scales not just dmg but duration too, allowing you to stack more poison on tough mobs and duration is usually harder to come by than flat dmg. So it depends on your tree. If you do path towards duration nodes or annoint a notable, then Malevolence might not be the best call. However given the position of minion stuff on the tree its somewhat unlikely that you are pathing towards duration and in this scenario Malevolence wins imo. |
