[3.9] Pure Phys Skeletons & Friends Necromancer — Beginner/SSF/Budget Build

What skill do i replace with impale on my skellies? im doing great with my damage now but i want to do more hopefully to faster melt bosses




These are my items maybe anyone could help me on what I can upgrade for better QoL/ DPS? Thanks! budget is 10ex

I just kill Sirus deathless with this build. I use 2 Carnage Chieftains to get frenzy, 1 Diabolist to cast Curse Enf. Then I get free 3 socket in second wand. I link Flesh & Stone with Maim, then I link Culling Strike with Carrion golem. This Culling Strike help me a lot.
Next upgrade, I think I'll buy Raise Spectre lv gem 21 to get 4th spectre and buy new wand with +1 minion +1spell gem.

Personally I run Skellies > Impale > Multistrike > Brutality > Minion Damage > Melee Phys. I know a lot of people are tied to Feeding Frenzy for the dashing skeletons but I don't see it adding too much. My boney boys clear maps and bosses just fine without it.

Some things you could do to up your gear would be to get an amulet with +1 to maximum summoned skeletons like this:



I should also note that it's adviseable to find a place to slot Dread Banner with Generosity as well as it helps the skelly impale a good bit.

Awesome! Glad to hear you got him down. I'm also really glad to hear the Culling Strike worked out for you. I've done A8 twice with this build but I'm looking forward to my next go with cull. Congrats!

Thanks! followed your advice, got my +1 skellies on ammy with some life and other stats,

I have placed impale aswell into my body armor, would that mean I don't have to use melee splash anymore? feels abit wear when I clear waves but bosses melt easily with impale

I have slotted in generosity with dread banner too for my skellies

Am i doing fine? or is there anymore upgrades I can do to increase dps/survivability

I still use melee splash for delving and map clear on open maps. My clear setup is:

Skellies > Minion Damage > Impale > Melee Phys > Brutality > Melee Splash

Then for bosses I swap melee splash for Multistrike. Basically I don't use Feeding Frenzy on my skellies at all. They get the buff from the Golems applying it, but they don't have it themselves.

Question/Problem:
Sometimes my skeletons do no damage or cant hit an enemy. I had them (all 10) hitting a white and the white dont die, they dont take any damage. (So no yellow who has to die first around

When i go there with my zombies they die instant.

Any Idea why this happens?
Had this behavior or similar often.
And if yes, how to change.

Wow, nice setup gem. I use PoB to check dps, using Multistrike give me lots of dps. But my chest is base Int, it's hard to get 4 off color (3R 1B). I think I have to buy Vorici

fun build, basically PoE on easy mode - just absolutely destroys anything metamorph. just getting into maps and gearing up for endgame but easily the most enjoyable build I've played in the last few leagues.

cheers!

Guys,
The damage increases with impale per POB. Why is it not popular? What's the downside?

I tried it, my personal setup is a lot tankier without dread banner (kinda necessary) so I dropped it, it was a relatively cheap experiment but I prefer a bit tanky in this league, still rippy at T16 metas

godly unset rings + skitterbots / another skill (dread or survival skill),
Elder stygian / leather belt

The QOL and surviving will be much better IMHO
