I am a bit sceptical about the use vixen/poacher mark as a source for frenzy charges in the skeletal build.

For general boss damage its still a great curse due to extra phys damage and phys penetration, but it does not seem to work well for the generation of frenzy charges.

The problem is that there are so many skeletons, they are being recast constantly and the curse hits only one target. So in normal mapping its basically useless. A single skeleton will gain a single charge when killing the cursed target, but the charges cannot be sustained as full stacks on 10 of them. Especially not when they are recast every few seconds.

Against bosses its slightly better, at least all will hit same cursed target, but still not by much. The skeletons hit with about 5 hits per second. Assuming 36 quality on poachers mark, thats still a 62% chance to not get a single charge within one second. Again given they dont live long and are just recast all the time it still seems unlikely that they will fight with a significant number of frenzy charges most of the time.

So currently I am still using the gloves, just for the extra damage on the marked target, but also spectres for a more reliable way to get frenzy.

ty for the builds

Hi every one.
I'haven't played a necro build for a long time and i was wondering if the host + carnage chieftains's combo was still the best support spectres we could get ?

I've heard that the new demon harpy was the thing for physical minions builds.


But what about skeleton mage with elemental damages ?

Charge generation is really cool for our skellies but ... chieftains are ugly af isn't it ?

Heyo,

thanks for the build!

Total noob question from total noob incoming.

I can't find the cluster jewel for the Call to the Slaughter anywhere on the trading site. I already respecced some points from previous minion build into the clusters from your skeletons endgame build. Without that cluster jewel is the build RIP?

Thanks.

hello Kay :) are there any plans to update the pure spectre build? Maybe also in terms of what offensive Spectres are viable? I tested baranite preacher on standard and it felt horrible compared to slave drivers. But still, slave drivers seem to have phases with zero dps at higher levels. I would really like to be able to make simulacrum 30 happen but i dont see any chance.

Hai, thank you so much for phys/impale skeleton warrior build! It's really nice.

Also, there's a typo in phys skeleton warrior build description (in "Gear, Gems Links & Flasks - Amulet" section). "Death Attunement" doesn't give your minions increased attack and cast speed. It only gives +1 to max number of zombies/skeleton/specters.

It is possible, to get demon harpy in standard??

Thinking of picking up a summoner again after a few leagues off. How does the Carrion Golem variant handle Scourges? Is it able to get started on switching into the Nightmare without getting immediately killed?

Also if anyone can estimate the amount of currency needed to get viable, that would be helpful. My current league starter is pretty scuffed and I'm looking to switch.

Does anyone have footage of the Sentinel or Poison Spider build clearing t16 scourage mechanic? I'm currently running with a spider guardian build and while it's tanky, the dps is pretty low so I'd like to see some footage to compare the two builds.
