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

Sup guys!

I'm a somewhat new player (Only about 410 hours in) and I have followed this guide and reached new heights in the endgame! I always play blind HC so I usually have no idea what to expect, and die to stupid stuff.

Here's a video of me trying The Apex of Sacrifice for the first time using Ghazzy's build!

Here's just the Atziri fight itself.

Thanks for a fun build dude!

Actually i never had Aegis, instead i gone with a moderate life shield, the problem is that i only have 7.2k life, so things like elder tentacle seems to 1 shot me. So i was curious if that is normal?

Hey,

Awesome to hear, glad you're enjoying the build!
Enjoyed the video as well, cheers! :D


Though, watching you leave A'Alai as the last trio-boss alive is SUPER rippy >.<
Great music <3

Hey,

Do you have a Granite Flask?
This build is far from tanky and elder Tentacles are not really dodgable unless you're consistently moving so you gota be ready on flasks and when he spawns on the small tentacles you gota flask & shield charge fast to avoid getting hit more than once.
7.2k Life is "ok" but it should be a bit higher if possible.

Your right ring & belt has very VERY low life for example. The shield has "ok" life, you can easily get 150+ on a rare shield with good ammount of resistances as well.

Other than that your gear, jewels, tree everything looks very good. How is the build feeling in general for you?

Does it help when I say "I have no fucking clue what I did"? :D

@K4tz:

Well, I did watch the videos so I know!
Lich Queen completely trivializes that entire map though :D

Still, enjoyed watching it <3

I'm running with Granite, Basalt, Stibnite, Blood of the Karui and a Seething Health Flask. As for the gear, sadly i can't really fix that, since "Bestiary Standard" economy is basically dead, so even crappy gear are like a fortune to get. But still even with sub par gear, this build is really strong and seems to be able to do any content i could trow at it (just need to be careful with phys enemies). Didn't really try guardians or Shaper on it yet, since my gateway is busted since 3.1 and i don't really feel like testing it on "Predictive" mode, but i have a feeling that it would probably be fine maybe?

@SaintLucifer:

You should be totally fine since it's softcore :)

Ghazzy,

This may be already answered somewhere in this guide or your others. How do you determine the optimal gem choices for spectres? At some point I deviated from your spectre choices and picked up GMP (most likely when I tried frost sentinels for a bit) and just stuck with that gem setup. It's cleared Shaper just fine but I can see that my choice is not optimal for single target and that it only works on the solar guards default attack and not their most powerful attack. This actually helps general map clearing but I have no way to quantify how much I am impacting my single target damage to pick up additional clear speed. I've checked PoB and both Tukohama's Vanguards and Solar Guards are not in there as an option to configure so I am at a loss for how to evaluate spectre gem links for my build properly. Thanks in advance!

Got to 36/40 with this build, so going to retire from bestiary. Must say it was a pretty nice, strong and smooth build to use. So good that i will probably have issues finding a new build for the next league lol. Thanks for the guide and hope to see more of your builds on the future.

This was my first summoner build, and so far it's a ton of fun. I'm using the melee skellies and solar guard spectres and it's so satisfying to see things nuked from a distance by the laser cannon then mobbed by skeletons. This build is extremely survivable too; I'm a returning player and it's sometimes difficult for me to stay alive, but this build has allowed me to tackle content and succeed while having a ton of fun. Thanks for the build, Ghazzy!
