[3.0] Skele Mage / Wickerman Necromancer! Life/MoM - Safe Fast Clear - Great Single Target!
" Somewhat yes. Since I utilize zombies for meatshields I pick up Flesh Binder for the physical damage reduction bonus, although Beacon of Corruption is fine too if you want/need the chaos res for you and your minions, and everytime you recast your skeles that counts as dying so they leave a degen effect, but it's damage isn't really noticable.

Hey, gonna try this build out, thanks.
What Bandits & Pantheons did you choose? Also the jewel you use - From Dust, is it supposed to be TO Dust jewel? Last edited by KingCaracticus on Sep 29, 2017, 7:20:21 AM

" From what I understand, he's using From Dust, not to boost skellies dmg but to be able to resummon faster. With From Dust and the spell echo from Pledge, you summon 6 skellies on the same cast, saving loads of mana and time of summoning: assuming 9 skellies, you can get them in 2 casts. I'm leveling now a character with this. Its ridiculously fun, but IDK how well will I manage with only a 5l Pledge. My chest is 6l tho, so my wickermen will probably melt everything they find. |

I used a 5l pledge until 92 or 93, can't remember. My wickers are in a 5L as well, and never die during mapping, and they add damage, and tankiness. Wickers damage starts to degen mobs before skeles start casting, so it just synergizes well. I keep the wickers on conc effect since they run right into packs anyway, this way I dont need to mess with conc gem swap for bosses.

Question tho. How much did it take to get 3g (or 2g) on the Pledge? I ripped my entire batch of chromes trying to do it...
|

" 2g isnt bad, 3g can take 600+ or so. I use the 2g vorici for the 3g, but I like faster projectiles for mapping. My damage is already more than enough and faster projectiles makes maps go by faster. I love pie.

Hey,
been following this guide for it's good balance on minions used and it's going well so far. I have a question I hope you can answer for Skeletons. In POB, the damage of the skeletons is minimal from levels 1 to 19 and jumps up significantly at level 20. Is this true or is POB just not updated properly for levels 1 to 19? What was your experience levelling them? Like at level 17 right now, I get about 3.1k dps per mage, level 18 is 3.4k, level 19 3.7k, then level 20, 14.1k. This doesn't seem normal, but if it's true, I'm going to go buy a level 20 gem right away and not wait until I level mine. Thanks! | |
" I use PoB sometimes, but for skeles I haven't. What I can say is that gem level is almost always important for spells/summon skills (with Spectres being on the lower end of the benefit spectrum). For skeletons, levels directly ups their base damage so levels are a huge factor. a 21/20 skeleton gem is something to strive for as it will help your dps a lot. However, gem level is not enough of a factor to use empower in any slot for skeletons. I love pie.
