Witch - [3.0]hc Generic Summoner Synergy - Forum

This is not a typical SkellyMage only build... When i made this in the beginning of the league, i had the intent of utilizing the spectres for single target, and skelly mages for map clear. NOT SRS. All of this WAS budget friendly, until the explosion of the market on skelly mages. Its still fairly cheap though for what you get out of it. See below;

Leveling;

Spoiler

Use SRS until you get 2 DeadReckoning jewels, then switch to mages. Generic SRS leveling until then. Dont worry about zombies or keeping them alive until 65. Utilize same pathing on tree.
Get spectres early, and minion damage asap. Find any useful spectres while leveling. Good ones are a3-flame sentinels. a5-herald of kitiva until you are in maps.

Pros/Cons;

Spoiler

Pros- Easy leveling, easy map clear, fairly easy map bossing. Fun.
Cons.. No BM, Chain is annoying, maybe lag?

Spectres: I use the Cannibal Fire-Eaters found in "bipedal" maps. I pick one up on xyz for around 1-3 chaos depending on MapTier. This is until they fix/update persistent spectres. These do incinerate/flame totem type skill which does pretty good single target from what ive found. With the EE proc to -fire/cold res and them using added cold support, (x4) of them melt down bosses fairly quick. With added cold being buffed, and doing ele damage anyway, i feel this is better than added chaos. or slower proj.

SkellyMages: 9 Total. GMP for map clear. I find you get the most from Pledge of Hands, because of its huge mana% as well since we are MOM. You get a free 6link skill with a jewelers touch, or if you're lucky enough to find a 6link, its a free 7link. Making the REQUIRED 2G/3B on this is tricky. Pierce and GMP are REQUIRED.

Zombies/Golem: 9 Zombies with life for fluff(and ascendancy) and Chaos Golem for fluff and more phys mitigation. Put life on these with your animate guardian.

Animate Guardian: Kingmaker - FreeCulling strikes for everyone, and rarity.. // LeerCast - Damage // Victarios Flight - Movement% // Ambus Charge - Life regen when hit for him to live // Soldier gloves - +%Life. Link only with minion life for the guardian to have 19k hp.

DualCurse: EleWeakness ( mainly for mages ) and enfeeble. Using arc is better IMO, for the shock chance, autotarget, and applying EE to rares/bosses.

(1)Aura Discipline: Proc Ascendancy

Vaal skill: I use haste now, but you can swap it around in your boots for Skeletons, Lightning Trap, Disc, whatever you want. This will be linked with the inc duration gem as well, from your Flesh Offering and movement skill ( flame dash )

Flasks: are not REALLY important besides the quicksilvers. We use Bones of Ullrs, with 15% movement, so were slow without the "Mistress of Sacrifice" ascendancy, so having flask effect and more movement is important for clear speed. We get an extra 30% minion damage this way by dropping "MoS". Energy sheild never really drops below to start taking life damage, so one bleed/health pot is fine. Other two utility flasks can be played with. I like phasing and granite. Gives me freedom, and 45% Armour when used.

For gear, you dont NEED mana even though were MOM. Focus on HP and ES with res.
