💀3.15💀 iLL3aT’s Cold Skeleton Warriors/Archers/Mages ❆ League Starter ❆ All Content ❆

@NSUCK

Well, minions got a nerf in general due to elemental equilibrium being taken down, but the fleshcrafter unique allows for mages tri element attack to be suddenly useful, so I guess it's a no brainer in that respect.

Also, the big skelly guide and minion runners are doing skelly mages this league, so everyone's following along I guess.

There's also probably a popular streamer doing it too...

Glad to see you back!

Mages are popular mostly cuz yeah, EE got nuked and mages clear as fast as you move. It's been pretty good for two leagues now, with this being the third.

Are phys skele's version of this still viable? Also, would there be any way to work in determination for aura's with losing too much damage?

Thanks for the help!

Are they viable, yes. But defense is an issue.

I tried Archers vs Mages and I felt better with mages. But even with shield and block, this build is not tanky.


My current setup https://pastebin.com/HESvANC0 (about 2.7m Sirus Dps without any charges without vaal skellies)

Keep the fleshcrafter interaction in mind (simulated this with -50 coldres)

Blah, really trying to stay away from Golem builds cause of all the primordial stuff they need. I did skele mages 2 leagues in a row, was hoping to go back to good ole warriors.

Thanks for answering though.

I suspect warrior DPS (phys) is pretty similar to last league where it was still a very good build. Cold...not so sure (look how they murdered my boi)

Poor ILL3AT... Will keep checking back to see if you update the warrior pob's and stuff. Not really in a hurry or anything as am still doing endgame junk on my league starter. (First time Sirus kill that wasn't your skele build!)

Fleshcrafter is practically required if any kind of cold conversion minion builds want to remain viable. The combination EE and cluster jewel nerfs have drastically impacted mitigating enemy resistances.

Physical Skellies POB: https://pastebin.com/aY1XgFwX

They had a nice boost from 3.15. Currently running 931k per skelly and 3.15 was about 822k.
Add in Divergent multistrike and set Pride to max effect and your at 1.6m per skelly. More than enough to get the job done.
spectres: 2x carnage chief, 1x host chief, 1 ravaged dude (proximity shield)

So,

I messed around to see if I could get a build based on phys skeleton to work with Chaos and was reasonably successful. We get about 2.5M Sirus DPS per skelly, which isn't bad. 12 skellies of course, so it adds up. It's pretty expensive to run this build. Getting quad-white Triads is annoying, and the chest and clusters are a pain. But otherwise, this is a straight-forward build.

It's squishy (5k life), but determ + decent armor pieces gets us to 32k armor. We're not going to do 100% deli content with this build, but it puts down bosses OK.
