(Discontinued) Odif's Build Guides for Newbies: Skeleton Mage Necro

• I've prioritized getting ailment immunity through 55% (thanks to new eldritch modifiers) on boots, 20% through shield mastery, and 25% through Arcane Sanctuary anoint
• A 240% minion damage legion jewel is huge amounts of damage
• For physical damage reduction, I've prioritized getting Bone Barrier through Forbidden Flesh/Forbidden Flame (I actually bought the Unnatural Strength ones since they're cheaper)
• A 11- or 12-small passive cluster with good small passives actually gives more DPS (according to PoB) than a good 8-passive cluster with notables
• If you don't use Convocation much, Ashes of the Stars with Divergent Convocation can give you up to about 10s of Unnerve in exchange for a super long cooldown. I basically only pop it on bosses and other high-health enemies to get my minions right on top of them

Thanks a lot for this guide! I found the Animate Guardian part of this helpful, and have had a lot of budget to min-max it. I tweaked it just a bit to get ailment immunity and physical damage reduction and can now clear Simulacrum 30s fairly safely and burst Maven down in any of her phases in about 10s.

I'm wondering what else I should upgrade? Here's my current setup.

I have a budget of about 30ex - my only thought right now is getting Awakened GMP, but am down for other ideas.

Hi Odif,

First of all thank you for the effort you put into this guide! As a new player this was super welcome.

I was finally able to buy the dead reckoning jewel last night.

But based on the last skill tree that you posted (https://poeplanner.com/b/ZJ9, I don't have POB unfortunately), where I put the jewel there are only strength nodes in the radius. In order to spawn the skeleton mages, I need the 40 intelligence in the radius so does that mean the skill tree is wrong or is there something else I need to be doing?

Many thanks
