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

Great guide and awesome build. Made everything super easy. Been playing since Abyss and first time I killed Shaper. Did it deathless as well. He just melted.

I had some currency to burn so decided to upgrade a few bits. It's starting to get to meme level of ease now haha! still enjoying the build though, although i'll have to make something new soon. Saying that, I think this is the cheapest build ive made in any expansion, even with the upgrades.



Funny thing is, I can still improve my gear further! Point being its just overkill!

Love this build. Did all content no problem.
These are my gears. Most are self crafted.

New player here, can you tell me how to craft that beautiful helm of yours? thanx!

Did all content with this build (Deathless - UElder, UAtziri, Mastermind83, Up to t15 blighted map) with pretty crappy gear, half of which is self-found and other bought for 5-15c.

As an alternative weapon I use this at the moment:



since no crafting luck with wands.
It has fairly good offensive stats (not top), but some defensive perks.

With vaal skeleton out I have 70% block without any investing in block which is fairly good to notice.
The regeneration is good, too - if you don't use zombies actively, you can just summon 10 unsupported ones as defense line.

I just spammed bound fossil to elder bone helmet ilvl 83.
If you have the currency, get ilvl 86 helment as you have a chance to hit +3 to minion gem.

+3 minion gem is overrated. Getting lvl 20 minion damage is better since it affects all minions, while the +3 just affects socketed gems. Here's my GG helm:

Err not really, unless you mean the 25% increased minion damage which comes with it (Which is fairly minor in the scheme of things)
+2/3 does increase the flat damage that the golem adds to other minions, though this is fairly minor really compared to the very high base damage of skeletons.

+3 is huge it will increase all gems socketed in the helmet by +3, 20 Minion Damage is nice but shouldn't be taken over +3.

The level 20 minion damage is essentially a level 20 Minion Damage gem and only effects the minion in the helmet, nothing else.
