👻3.20👻 Kay's Summoner💥SRS Bomber💀Poison SRS💀Melee SRS🕷️Spiders💀Skeleton Mages

i managed to make it to wave 30 sim with my skelemage build. i died but still made it to 30. when the big bosses spawn i would get hit with a wave of some sort and couldn't see it coming due to all the mass chaos and graphic bloat onscreen that made it impossible to see anything. 48 vaal skeletons, 11 mages, 10 zombies, skitterbots, stone golem, and AG makes for a massive screen of chaotic mess. most map bosses i can just stand in one place while minions decimate everything. really glad i upgraded my pc lol

looking forward to the uber bosses in 3.18 if we get them in standard too. at least they might be a challenge for this build lol

in the end, GGG really needs to give some options to turn some of the graphic bloat off. it becomes way too much.

For your 3.18 skelly mage build please incorporate aegis and melding of the flesh. I heard with melding we'd need a crap ton of resists on gear but someone said just use purity of elements to help with that

I'm thinking to add this as a short guide for all builds :) But the first guide will be more focus on lower budget/easy to get (hopefully!) gear.

Omni does a big leapslam thing with a big spikey aoe.

Kosis casts mines on the ground that detonate when you walk over them. Looks like a wave that get biggers. I think you stepped on one :P

Didn't played minions 2-3 leagues so I don't know the main differences.

I can't decide between Arakali Spiders versus Animate Weapon.

Which one will be better at next league?

My honest opinion is play spiders. AW mechanic is super clunky :P

I like HoP + spiders because I don't mind dying :P It was my main for 4 leagues 40/40.

Pure spiders is much tankier but less DPS. I made a cyclone spider necro that's even easier to play too.

You have a HoP/Spider build? i think i just see pure spiders in your lists.

Nevermind, i see it under 3.15 builds.

Do skelemages need any adaptation to run breachstones? One time I tried it, I couldn't outrun the timer despite killing the mobs easily. I assumed it's because of the delay between summoning and attacking.
I've thought about getting chain support, but decided to ask first.

It's an older build, I didn't revise for 3.17 because everyone focused on tankiness. But now we have a atlas keystone that decreases monster DPS, so I think we can use builds with a little less survivability :)

Is there a breachlord you had most problem with? I can test running it.

No need, I just tried again and it went fine. It was probably a DPS issue, my failed attempt was a long time and many upgrades ago.

I want to thank you. This build let me get my first ever Uber Elder, Maven and Feared, all deathless, in SSF. It was an amazing experience.
