GhazzyTV - Beginner's Build: Lich Queen Skeleton Summoner [AWAKENER FARMABLE]

Updated 2.6 notes in the title / first comment below the guide.

I am now answering questions on the build guide threads again!
(Finally time allows me 2 :D)

Hey Ghazzy!

Thanks a ton for creating this guide (as well as your others!). A few quick questions, I just hit 70 and get my second ascendancy out of the way, but I still feel like I am casting slow. Any suggestions?

Also, it looks like in some of your videos (uber atziri) that you are summoning 4 skeletons at once. How is this possible? Do you have spell echo in and I don't realize it?

EDIT: Nevermind! I see that your helm has the enchant!

My pleasure bro!
The cast speed should be sorted by having Mistress of Sacrifice with FLesh Offering, though in the current state of the game I would recommend getting that Enchant that provides more skellies per cast and if you don't have access to that you should consider swaping in "Cast While Channeling" + "Wither" then the skellies with support gems to make things smoother till you do get that enchant!

(Just noticed your edit.... well yeah, simply add Cast While Channeling till you get the enchant!)

Hey Ghazzy,

Have you read the upcoming minion changes? Skel warriors seems like it's getting a small nerf/buff. Devs intend that the max skels you can have is 15, you summon 1 at a time, but they have atkspd and dmg boost.

How do you think this is going to affect the build?

Without exact information I am in no position to theorycraft the landing station for this build, though I will have it done before the patch hits. :)

Cool, starting on the video. Hope it doesn't change too much because I've always been a fan of an army of skeletons aspect of a necromancer more than anything.

Will do my best, as always! :)

I have a question looking at your gear and stuff and certain big nodes you say dont get unless i have this much Life or ES well, how do i use purity of elements, clarity, disciple, hatred when it litteraly reserves everything? and i cant cast stuff.

With the combination of those keystones you will move your Energy Shield to cover your mana pool which is also being used as your source of mana for your spells. Which means, that if you reserve all your mana you'll still be able to cast spells via the cost of your Energy Shield instead!

Before getting all keystones you'll have to skip 1 aura :)
