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

"

I see some builds running Victario's Charity but I also see some builds running Lioneye's Remorse. I have both and am wondering which one I should be running and what determines this.

Today I finished all the guardians, Shaper and Uber Atziri. Without guardian or switching from CWDT+Ball lightning(for ee while clearing). Nice build.

The only prep I did do, was adding minion regen. I've seen people complaining about their spectres dying, and I've seen in other spectre threads here and on reddit an advice to add minion regen, because of their high hp pool. So I did. No spectres died. Will try to run guardian now. The sources of minion life regen are:
- 1.5% already taken on the tree
- 1% in the top spectre wheel
- 0.4-0.8(all one tier) from abyssal jewels

Regen should make your guys nearly immortal(except for skellies).

First(ever, on any build) attempt at Shaper went quite smoothly and would've been deathless if I didn't start to stupidly mess up in third phase. Next one should be deathless.

Uber atziri had one or two deaths on her, one on trio and one on stupidly popped abyss.

CWDT+Ball lightning is nice for clearing, some glove lightning enchantmets should work too. One Unending Hunger jewel should boost clearing speed too.

This is really helpful. What ascendancy choices did you go with?

Thanks for answering my question. One more follow up please.

What is the ball lightning for exactly? How do you use it if not in the CWDT setup? And when you are in the CWDT setup what do you take out to make room for the CWDT gem?

Thanks again.

Ball lightning is there to deal lightning damage and proc elemental equilibrium. It's good for clearing in CWDT because it triggers elemental equilibrium on mobs. But for bosses it's not ideal because slow projectile and unreliable triggering. Especially on things like Atziri where you want to burst through phases as fast as possible to not accidentally die to something.

So for mapping I use CWDT(-Immortal Call)-Ball Lightning and for high end bossing I, either use it manually(switch it with high level convocation) or use Orb of storm(manually too).

As to where to put CWDT, I pretty much copied high end melee skeletons version which has CWDT-Immortal Call by default.

Gotcha.

I've played the entire season basically as a mage skelly lich queen. But I liked what your post had to say so I've just spent the last few hours adapting to your build.

I feel a bit clunky. For general clearing you have in your weapon CWDT, IC, ball lightning? Then you just charge through mobs and cast summon skeleton? That pretty much it?

Are you having to cast the skeletons pretty frequently? They seem to die a lot where as my spectres and guardian never budge.

I've got gear somewhat similar to yours minus the 6L chest. I've got a 5L though. Would you mind giving my character a look to see if anything is out of place?

I loved the Mage Skelly approach but I hated dying every time a mob looked in my direction.
