Or roll until the 2 on top are green -> then go the crafting bench and use the craft two sockets (cost 1 jeweler's orb) -> then use the the craft 3 sockets (cost 3 jeweler's orb) go back and forth between those 2 crafts until you get a 3th green socket. After that move a step up, and go back and forth between 3 socket craft and 4 socket craft, until you hit the 4th green socket. easy.
(it can take a while and consumes ALOT of jeweler's orbs)

You want to make them 2 sockets only and then craft 2 greens rather than trying to get the first 2 green by rolling them ;)

If someone is interested, I modified this build to add spiders (Arakaali's fang) and it worked very well. The 20 spiders DPS is huge, higher than the 11 skeletons. They can clean maps alone perfectly. If you add up spiders, skeletons, zombies and specters the damage is insane (plus vaal skeletons).

The modifications I did were:
- In the dagger: minion damage, damage of full life, melee splash (Spiders are very aggressive, they don't need feeding frenzy)
- I removed desecrate from CwW+Spirit Offering and I moved it to Cyclone+ CwC + Ball Lightning. This way, while we apply EE and Victarios with cyclone we create corpses above us in case Spirit Offering triggers. And it allows me to manually summoning the spiders if needed.
- I got a belt with 18% flask used reduction so I can use the The Writhing Jar three times if needed and I can't refill it (although it rarely happens)
- I got enduring bound in the tree (31% minion duration). Together with Mistress of Sacrifice the spiders last more than 1 minute.
- I got a "minions have 7% chance to blind on attacks" jewel (with more stats). The 20 spiders blind everything very fast with melee splash so I don't need flesh and Stone.

And finally I discovered something amazing. When I use cyclone on enemies (for the boots fortify) the CwC desecrate ground applies degen and spiders are created even if my other minions are doing the killing blow. So at the end, I rarely need to use the Writhing jar. Only at the beginning of a map (and you can even skip it, the 20 spiders will spawn anyway with the degen and your other minions) or specially for big bosses.

Even that, Summoning the spiders with the Jar is easy anyway with this setup. You start CwC cyclone and click the flask hotkey while cycloning and autodesecrating. And you have 20 spiders.

One downside I found is that our zombies are weaker (no zombie claw with maim and damage), but the dps increase was worth it. You loose some slots too that were used in stuff like Puryfing flame or SRS or GMP on Ball lightning. And of course the dagger is expensive (1.2 EX right now).

I hope this is useful for someone.

In your setup you do not have hatred linked to generosity, so you're messing up your EE with melee hits (and with your ball lightning if you ever get +phys to spells). You could potentially also drop the skeletons to 3L and put the zombies there as well: less socket starved, generosity is back, your zombies are better with the helmet +skill, and with a “target” helmet of +3 minion + minion damage, this should be good enough.

With some many corpses around you though, it could be worth looking around at other ascendencies maybe instead of bone barrier (and to be really careful around corpse exploding monsters obviously).

Hey, I was lucky and got a doctor card which I managed to sell for 7ex. I want to use that to invest in this build, but again I am struggling to know what to do first without harming it too much. Would be grateful for any advice.

• getting a claw with supports for your zombies (not necessarily +1 all and maim right away, a claw with faster attacks and elemental support for example will be a nice boost); a gemini claw with maim alone is only a few chaos at most
• getting boots with Fortify support
• another helmet with +2 minion and more useful stats (you really don't need those spectres survivability buffs)
