Question about scaling Necromancer's DPS
I'm currently using Skin of the Loyal while trying to get my Fleshcrafter six-linked.
My question is whether getting a +3 socketed minion bone helmet going to be useful if I've only socketed Zombies and Sprectres there, or save up for a convoking wand with +1 minion +1 spell mods on it. I'm using Summon Skeletons (Vaal) as my main DPS. Last bumped on Dec 7, 2021, 9:42:48 PM

Id say its better to save up for the wand and buff up your main dps skill. You can always PoB everything to see the damage difference to help make your decision.
Also do not give your minions 50% or more chaos resist. |

Thanks for replying. How do I check on my minion's resistances? Through POB as well?

The +3 helmet gives your zombies a lot more life.
It can get your spectres to the gem level 25 threshold, when they gain a 4th spectre. Whether this is worth the cost, is a value judgement you have to make. I personally find that +3 helms are not very expensive, so worth doing, but others think differently. As far as chaos resist.... Minions have a base 20% chaos resist. Then add any they get from skill tree or gear. Some spectres have a bonus to chaos resist (not many, but some do) SPirit offering gives a ton of chaos resists, dont use with Fleshcrafter. Unless you are trying to get more chaos resist, its unlikely you will hit the 50% minion chaos resist insta minion death from fleshcrafter. | |
If its in PoB I dont know where minion resists are. The base resists of summoned monsters are pretty easy to find through google. Just make sure base + any resists from minion passives + any gear that gives minion chaos resist is 49 or less.

If you want to check the minion stats in PoB go to "Calc" tab, select the correct minion skill and then make sure to click the "Show minion stats" check box at the top.
Then you can check the lifepool, res, accuracy and so on for all your minions. |

+3 Minion helm is a very good QoL investment, alongside with the +1 minion/ +1 all spells Convoking wand, both are investments you should aim for.
On that helm, if you use them as Feeding frenzy proccers, stick Zombies, FF, Empower (lvl 3 is quite enough until you can afford lvl 4) and another minion of choice (Carrion Golem, Animated Guardian, Spectres, etc...). That helm alongside with empower and wand, will grant you +6-9 levels to your minions socketed there, wich will boost them a lot. Be carefull with your Fleshcrafter though, remember that if your minions reach +50 chaos resistance, they will die immediatly through life > ES conversion! |

your goal should be +2 to skills convoking wand, and +1 inteligence skills amulet with +1 skeleton

Wow! Thanks for all the tips and suggestions. Really helpful and better explanation than some POB build guides :)
