My Non-Baron Necromancer!

1. Introduction
I already expressed my opinion about The Baron helmet in the past.
I think that a witch with > 1k strength contradicts the entire foundations of fantasy D&D based games.
So i decided to do a strong non-baron build.
I worked on this build for at least 18 months, and invested hundreds of exalted.
If you think i'm doing something wrong, let me know.

2. Which bosses i killed with this build?
I have no videos, but I killed Sirus A8, Aul, Kurgal, Uber Atziri, Uber Izaro. Besides Chayula I did all (only since i can't find Chayula splinters, and I don't waste currency on buying them).

3. What's the basic principles on this build?
I'm a lazy guy. One of my most favorite builds were RF Jugg. Just "run and kill".
With this build, I do a bit more than that, but again, I have no attack skills of my own, and i only use keyboard for summon skeletons/vaal summon skeletons and flasks.

I have 6780 life,
322 energy shield,
43% physical damage reduction
and all 4 resistances are capped.

4. So let's start:

4.1. Skill gems:

2h weapon:
Raise zombie + Feeding frenzy + Awakened minion damage + Awakened brutality + empower + awakened melee physical damage.
I have a total of 13 zombies.

Body armour:
Vaal Summon skeletons + melee physical damage + awakened brutality + empower + deathmark + minion damage
I have a total of 12 skeletons.

*Note: the deathmark requires that i'll actually cast it, and as I said, i'm lazy, so i'm thinking about replacing it.

Helmet:
Raise spectre + empower + animate guardian + brutality
I have a total of 4 spectres.

Ring:
Summon chaos golem (i prefer this over the carrion golem since i want the 5% phys reduction).

Gloves:
CwDT + flesh offering + immortal call + enfeeble

Boots:
War Banner + blasphemy + punishment + flesh and stone

Belt:
Aspect of the crab (AMAZING defense aura in my opinion)

5. Gear
5.1: Weapon:


I prefer 2h mauls over the +1 one handed wands.
This maul gives me maim, and +3 for the empower gem.
This is very important to get level 30 raise zombie skill.
This weapon costed me around 40ex.

5.2: Body Armour

I use it since it has +147 life and additional 10% life.
I haven't seen many armours with better life.
I also prefer rare over unique due to +1 to zombies and skeletons.
This armour costed me around 6ex unlinked. I 6 linked it myself.

5.3.: Helmet

I love this helmet.
It costed around 25ex (i think it's worth around 100ex now).
the +life of it is amazing for the animate guardian - it almost never dies.
The only better helmet i saw is with immolate, and i can't use since i use only physical (brutality gems).
After 18 lab runs, i still couldn't get good enchant.

5.4.: Amulet

life, +1 zombies...

5.5.: Rings:

To be honest, the Vermillion ring is crap, i just love the +48% rarity.
I convinced myself that I feel the difference.
The other ring has +29% chaos res,
and I can't emphasize this enough:
GET at least 75% chaos res. before I got 75% chaos res, Al-Hezmin killed me alot with the poison. With 75% chaos res, I kill him without a prob.

5.6. Gloves

nothing special - the lightning and phys additions do nothing. I keep it for the life and res.

5.7.: Boots

life, res, 30% movement speed. nothing to add.

5.8.: Belt

I love it because "Aspect of the crab".
I find it a great defense aura.

6. Spectres
I use 4 carnage chieftains for the frenzy charges.

7. Animate guardian
A kingmaker is a must - it gives fortify and culling strike.

8. DPS
according to PoB:
raise zombie: 357k dps per zombie.
skeletons: 547k dps per skeleton.
spectres: 137k dps per spectre.

That's about it.
If you need another info, let me know.
