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

I played this build in Blight and then made my own version in metamorph with a significantly different tree, gear, etc. However, I did come back to read through the latest comments, and the ideas with the triple offering and increased effect of offerings chest were interesting enough to try out...to good effect. Thank you to those who thought of it and improved upon it.

One crafting session and a temple later...


The chest was made with an awakener's orb, one with active skill gems (86 base) and the other with the offerings effect. I annulled off a suffix (fire res, my other attempt bricked the other chest), multi modded, divined (beasts), socketed, colored, and linked the chest. Finally, I took it to the temple where saying I got lucky is an understatement.

With two +1/+1 wands and a +1 necklace, this allows for level 30 skellies.

Hi guys! 5th day of this build. Number of my insta-deaths are going down now, I quite understand the build mechanics, also i have my own first AG (base style ofc). Question: why in the name of god my spect. are changing avery time? Fixed for those proper chieftains&ruin hounds, but I think i have had frenzy/power charges almost one time. If i check the spec after a battle, there are differed, not the ones i struggle to set-up before. What i'm doing wrong? Pls treat me as a noob, even i'm old (player/years in irl).

Hey guys, really enjoying this build so far. Just a quick question:

Should i aim for increased minion damage on rings or isn't it worth it?

^ take gems out of trigger wand, go to HO, desecrate, hover over body holding 'A' key, summon new spectres as needed. Yeah sometimes you hit wrong key in fight, so DON'T keep summon spectre on active key! Check my char for gems setup if you don't know wth I mean

If you give up too much rez or life, NO. Seriously depends on all your other choices TBH... there's no one, right answer I feel

Ty mate, i'll do so.

Looking for some weapon crafting advice.

I am going to try and fossil craft a convoking wand better than my current essence crafted wands. If I end up in a case where I am choosing between a +1 wand with minion damage (60%+) damage or a +2 wand without a decent minion damage roll, which would be preferred?

I'm planning on doing some fossil crafting, with Bound + Corroded + Aetheric fossils on an ilvl 84+ convoking wand.

hello just a few questions

for 6 link skelletons i use the following support gems
minion dmg
feeding frenzy
melee phys dmg
multistrike
melee splash (mapping) or ruthless (boss)

is this the best setup or is brutality for something good to change ?


i spend some currency, can you check my profile for improvements in dmg and survivability plz ?

Your 6-link supports for Skeletons depends on if you are running the triple-offering build or the base build. If you're running triple offering, you want impale, ruthless, minion damage, melee phys, multistrike so you can take advantage of the spirit offering added chaos damage.

If you are running the standard build, I still think you should replace Feeding Frenzy with impale as long as you have Feeding Frenzy linked to either your golem or zombies. Aside from the minions are aggressive and the dash, the Feeding Frenzy buff is a buff on you that applies to all minions, regardless of the source.

whats the difference for a minion to be aggressiv or not ? is it the range to the monster he would attack?

so yeah i play the standard build with also feeding frenzy in golem link.. i will try the impale gem for the feeding frenzy in skell 6 link and will check

what is this tripple offering thing
