Skeletal Frost Mage Witch Infernalist End Game Build Guide

Fire better of

I use a modified build, where I replace most of my frost mages with reavers.

The mages continue to CC, but the reavers clearly do more damage. It's working very well. Juiced T15 maps are ez-mode, including their bosses.

I'm still using a rattling sceptre for the warriors. I have taken the 15% ES nodes rather than any minion crit nodes, as I have more than enough dps. That's why I'm not using an omen sceptre.

I don't use blink except for the trials. Prefer to have the extra minion.

Wish I could link the build. Maybe next league that will work. Here's the loadout though:

skeletal warrior - blind - ruthless - heavy swing - physical mastery
summon infernal hound - meat shield - maim - envenom - corrosion - culling strike
skeletal reaver - brutality - feeding frenzy - heft - martial tempo - heavy swing
skeletal cleric - ingenuity - minion mastery - last gasp [- arcane tempo?]
skeletal frost mage - scattershot - arcane tempo - cold mastery - wild shards
skeletal storm mage - conduction - overcharge - stormfire - minion mastery
pain offering - expanse - persistence - font of rage - inspiration
eye of winter - unleash - acceleration - cold exposure - strip away
detonate dead - magnified effect - minion pact - spell echo - mobility
[vulnerability - hex bloom - heightened curse - ritualistic curse - spell cascade]
hypothermia - heightened curse - focused curse - hex bloom - spell cascade

Also, how do you guys deal with the Twisted Domain +3 and +4? The boss takes a matter of seconds to kill, but the timer is very tight and even with frost mages at 31 with wildshards and raging spirits setup it's always a match to the last second, literally last 2-3 seconds of the timer.

Should I use the Trenchtimbre setup?

facing a similair issue, boss dies within seconds while the breach itself can be a bit of a race. I just play greedy and keep blinking forward as much as i can. Make sure Pain Offering is up as much as possible while pushing forward

I almost forgot about the absolute QOL champion skill called 'Shield charge' (maces tab, just lowest lvl option).
Absolute must have for chaos trials, for example. I replaced the frost bomb with it, because at some point there is no real difference between oneshot trial bosses\map bosses with frost bomb or without, but blink+ shield chaaaaaaarge works excellent.

thank you, I'm managing to deal with the twisted domains +4 keeping pain offering always up, spamming flamewall with raging spirits, trenchtimbre and sceptre, and five sockets frost mages with wildshards and fork supports.
also, like you said, pushing as fast as I can in order to find the rare mobs quicker and extend the timer.

I have to highlight that my frost mages become level 34 with the trenchtimbre and rest of my minions have +10 from global modifiers, raging spirits at 19 with 4 sockets.
Even if not minmaxed, the gear and the gems are pretty much high end, and still clearing the twisted domain is rng, sometimes I end up with a few seconds remaining, sometimes 15-20 seconds, it requires a lot of effort to clear it decently.

not worth to clear the +4 domain with this build just to have a chance at the better unique drops imho, better fully upgrade the breaches tree and call it a day, breaches in map give a lot of goods already.
