[3.9] Pure Phys Skeletons & Friends Necromancer — Beginner/SSF/Budget Build

On a side note, I'm having a ton of fun with my Toxic Rain trickster. I miss my minions, but I noticed the difference in their damage and survivability after the nerfs too much to continue to play a minion build. One day, I'll return to my necromancer.

But not today.

Comments like this make me want to reroll for skel and see how bad it really is, my numbers in pob aren't that bad but survivability is definitely different with vaal molten shell taking a clear lead now. Went zombies this league to see the difference.

Vaal Molten Shell + CWDT was the saving way for me (plus other changes, as i presented up before). So in the last 48 hour i wasn't die (only once in Delve, but by not paying attention enough). So, the minus is i'm not plying Delirium, means i don't interfere here in Standard with this influence, but now, regarding the days after the league starts, now my build rocks again.
And i am capable to beat all content, as the way i presented my self: lazy&bad player. What i encourage you, young and clever guys is to find the acceptable balance in this build including new league influence. The nerf is not real, it is only on our way to see things. Looking forward to read good notice from you all. GL!

Well here it is. PoB updated the skill gems and here is what my skeletons would now be doing.

3.9 for reference:

Spoiler

And 3.10:


I lost 278,033.9 DPS per skeleton. Not sure about A8 it would be a maybe if I can do it with that low of DPS. They say his buffs made him a lot harder now.

Oh, the nerf is real. There's perception. And then there's math.

Ok. Agree with u, but please check my POB. I have recovered more then 25% of my loosed (similar) damage, with some little changes. So, wide open your eyes.

any cluster jewels yet? Thats where its gonna go crazy...

looked at your build btw, why the empower in help with ag?? can also save a few passive points with a medium thread of hope in the top jewel and annointing death attunement.

If you ask me about clusters, please note that i'm in standard.
I'm using Emp. 4 just because:
1. i have not +3 on helm (only +2);
2. i have not +1 +1 on wands (only +1, +1)
3 at least to have the AG on lvl 30 LE. + this means at least 15 k HP; already told that it happened before i did changes to finish the fight only me and the AG (including skel, ofc) but with all others dead. This why.

Please also note i've stared this build from 0 on the middle of January, in Standard league; you know the prices = it ruined me. So this the best i've did so far.

Regarding Thread of Hope = hmmm/meah. We can discuss; yes i agree to have 5 dots in plus = 25%/30% more HP, but still meah. I'll reach lvl 96 and i will have 6k HP/2kES. This is enough for me + VaalMS, of course. But i'm opened to any good idea.

can sink more damage via jewels I figured- but standard with no clusters makes it not as interesting ig

With the spectre level nerf, should I put my spectre link or golem link into my +2 bone helm?

I'm running Carrion/Maim/FF/Animate Guardian and Zombie/Meat Shield/Blood Magic/Spectres as my links

How do physical skeletons feel so far this patch? Anyone running T16 with them?

I started AW and then moved to Cold conversion skellies, I could definitely feel the nerf on them. Died 3 times fighting the Chimera dude. Just wondering if physical skeletons are faring better?
