3.2 Melee Skellington NO BARON HELM! NO STRENGTH STACKING>? Do 300k damage on a 5 link!
" I managed to tweak your build a bit and get 281k dps per skeleton. I replaced Added Fire + Elemental Focus with Physical to Lightning + Elemental Damage With Attacks. I grabbed Avatar of Fire to convert Arc to fire damage. https://pastebin.com/XVKT9pRR Last edited by 0palescent#6487 on Mar 1, 2018, 7:21:37 AM

Good catch, thank you! I used Elemental focus over WED because 4 red is a pain to get on ES chest, but this works perfectly. And in bonus, shield charge doesn't fuck with element equilibrium anymore.
You can even push to 291K dps with elemental focus instead of Ruthless. Last edited by Keyen#4575 on Mar 1, 2018, 7:43:23 AM

" helmet: 4L: AG, Minion Life, Raise Spectre, Vaal Summon Skellies Chest: 6L if possible, Zombies Weapon: 6L if possible, Skellies Voideye ring: Decoy totem Gloves: CWDT, phase run, increased duration, immortal call boots: blasphemy, vulnerability, summon stone golem, purity of elements Desecrate, multistrike, ruthless swapped in as needed. Also possible to use an unset ring in slot 2 if you need more space. In previous builds, I had no vaal skellies and no blood bond. The only active casts were decoy totem, phase run and skellies, or maybe zombies if they die. For this league, I'm assuming vaal skellies will be cool, and assuming I can get a 6L bloodbond (wishful...) so I guess I could cast blood offering and vaal skellies too. That still only makes 5 active skills, which I'll set on Q,W,E, right click and middle click. 90% of skill use will just be skellies and phase run to go faster. |

" Hey guys i've played before but the whole theorycrafting thing overwhelms me since i haven't played in a while could you maybe write a little bit about how you plan on starting out with these builds just so i get a decent idea on what to look for etc, would appreciate it a lot. Also thanks for posting these builds. |

In early game, either get a tabula or a random 4L. Tabula is better, but you may not be able to afford it.
If you have a 4L, just go with skeleton/Minion damage/MPD/Melee splash (switch MPD for ancestral call when not bossing). During the leveling, you don't give a shit about the items, you only need resistances and life (or ES). The build becomes brutal starting the 2nd ascendancy. Once you are on maps, just look for good ES rares (without master craft), and get 15% minion damage on gloves and +1 skeleton on chest. Get a Bone helmet (enchantments are useless in this build). Honestly, as you could see in the PoB, nothing is truly required. Just get the good gems, and get defensive stat on stuff. |

" Thanks a lot, also is there a good item filter you guys could maybe share? Feeling the hype but im a bit overwhelmed with the whole filter thingy, much appreciated and thanks for all the help. |

" As someone else mentioned you don't need to summon extra Skelly. the ascendancy already does the for us. As for Regen...You don't need a lot and all the rares on this build are basically random trash. Regen and life stacking will happen there. Also when did 6k+ ehp become super low on a summoner? |

Honestly, Queen's escape is not worth it at all (or only at the very start of the league).
I think we will have to agree to disagree on this point.I was wanting it for the duration and movement speed. After a bit, you will be much better with a Scourge + a true shield (ES shield if you are using ES, Life shield if you are life). More damage, you can use shield charge, you have block and more defensive stats, and will be much better overall. Scourge is expensive at the start of the league, but it's still quickly affordable. While yes your build is good ...Great EHP and Hard hitting Skellys I think you forgot that each from dust jewel removes 15% duration from skellys. On bosses that becomes a real pain in the ass. The Pob of the build I will play (250K dps per skeleton, 12 skeletons): https://pastebin.com/1uPqxDuR From Dust is useless, you have already 3 skeletons summoned per cast. When clearing, it's enough, when bossing, it means you need 3 casts instead of 4. Not worth a jewel socket. Agree totally here |

" My build plan is super simple... Lvl 1-4 Fireball till things are dead with zombies killing things Level 4-30 Zombies and Raging Spirits until things are dead Begin shoping for the gear you will need later i.e. Tabula or Queens Decree level 30 on until you get a queens decree/escape Zombies and Raging Spirits |

" The movement speed is good, but not required (you already have 250% from ascendancies and flesh offering) because you are already summonin skeleton right on top of enemies. And for duration... " The current duration is 14s. With max roll To dust, it's 19s. With abyss jewels (which are better than To dust, but maybe not as common in a non-abyss league), it's 29s. Even with 14s, it's enough, you need 4 casts (1.33s) to summon all of them. Duration is not mandatory, far from it. SRS is <10s duration, and it has to move to the target. Not skeletons.
