Hey does this build work as a starting build? All of the other starter builds don't really interest me that much but skelemancer seems cool.

Can you play this build without the legendary items?
Seeing as this was my starter build for Harbinger league I would say yes. While you can't play this build without first getting dead reckonings, you can level as a generic summoner with summon raging spirits and zombies in the mean time. You could level using normal summon skeleton as well.

Queen's Decree, To dust, and Victario's influence are all upgrade uniques that you do not need for the build to function
Okay thanks, I guess I'll try out leveling first to see how it goes. Is it expensive?

Been enjoying my skeleton mage necro a lot and have been toying with doing an auramancer version. This gave me the push to do so. Thanks :)
Gonna try mine with sire of shards, though, and 3 points in duration nodes.
Reimur: even though you're wrong, why would you have faith in diamond supporters? you're talking about a group of people that are so autistic that they would spend 1000 dollars on pixels. we're almost the most idiotic group of people in this community. second to hardcore players.

Not at all, Getting it started is pretty cheap. Of course upgrading the build to a 6-link, getting lvl 21 gems, getting all the uniqueness can be expensive however.

I'm glad to hear it. :)
The projectiles looks pretty neat with shire of shards. Tell me how it goes or maybe even make a video for it.

Will do once I get to sire. Should be sometime tomorrow. Got to 26 tonight; spent more time trading for quality gems than playing XD

Got a 5l/6s sire for 20c, managed to get 5b/1g in 30 chromes and the 1g is in the 5link. So that's set for now. Will save up for a 6l if I like it.

Leveling is super easy and enjoyable for me, at least. 4-link skel mages right at 10, then 6link at 18.

Killed the vaal oversoul in about 3 seconds lol

At what level do you switch over to skeletons? I am leveling with zombies and firestorm. I tried out leveling skeletons but they are slow compared to zombies.
