Anyways, what should I focus on to get more damage? Should I be looking to fully transition to the Raging Spirits build? I'm still using the league start build. Are Skeletons better than the Raging Spirits? My budget is around 4ex, probably more if I liquidated a bunch.

You can see that Necromancer is the most played class and 75% of them are playing Skele Mages (Dead Reckoning Jewel)

Skele Mages is like the old Sentinel days.

The Map Clear is faster and more comfortable than SRS, i just cast 2x Skeles to have 11 of them and push Curse in an Area and can run, with SRS you have more time standing still because of channeling imho.

Was it ever confirmed that scourge mobs were added to the forgotten corpse pool?

I've spent the last hour spawning corpses with a lv20 Phantasmal Desecrate at 71% quality, with the only corpses I've seen being the usual Flickershades.

Were scourge mobs added as a rare chance and I've just been unlucky, or was it just an unconfirmed rumor?

Edit: 10 mintues after asking, I've managed to spawn a Demon Harpy, so they're certainly in the pool.

Yeah it seems super rare compared to flickershade. I think that's why no one realised it in the start of league.

Have you found seraphim yet? It's bit better than harpy because it's 15% all damage and shorter cooldown.

That's who I'm going for, sadly no luck yet. I'll update when I finally manage to get one so others can nab them too (If no one has them yet)

Do you still need it? I have it in my bank.

I would love it please when you're free, Wuzlo_SkeleMage. It's crazy how rare they are for me.

Hey all, I've really enjoyed Kay's build for the past few leagues. This league, I'm trying to get further than before. I'm getting into red maps now and my damage is starting to lag behind. Anyways, what should I focus on to get more damage? Should I be looking to fully transition to the Raging Spirits build? I'm still using the league start build. Are Skeletons better than the Raging Spirits? My budget is around 4ex, probably more if I liquidated a bunch.

Yeah, the starter is mostly for levelling and getting to red maps. You should think about which minion to focus on for endgame.

I put SRS, skele, spectre and carrion so you can level them all up! :)
You can play anything in endgame. Most important is what you like to play :)

SRS/melee skele is the budget and SSF friendly option. Skele mage is meta now but you need 2 uniques (not SSF)

Temporary minions = lots of casting. SRS is not too bad because they move around. Skele warriors move a little. Skele mages don't move at all so it's like a totem build :P There is also a delay before they start casting (some people don't like it)

I prefer Carrion and Spectres because permanent minions don't need casting all the time. You can just run through the map.

Just finished testing new Carrion build vs mapping and endgame including Feared. It's much better than last league version (lots of defensive layers now). I'm still feeling bad with covid, so guide will be a bit slow to make :(

Spectres are the best for mapping because of ranged damage and no resummoning, but damage is pretty low nowadays. I'll retest the build soon!

Has anyone tried the spider build with a level 3 Enlighten Support? A level 4 costs more than the entire rest of the build, but level 3 might be cutting it too close with available mana.

Actually you can sacrfice 2 damage passives and take 2x 8% mana from sovereignty cluster :)

I just used Enlighten to minmax.

its long time i played last time summoner - the skeletons looks like a fun to me but does that mean that you have to re-cast them each xxx seconds ? thx

Temporary minions = lots of casting. Skele mages don't move at all so it's like a totem build. You need to move/cast move/cast.

If you use skitterbots like my build. Keep you eye on them. They will run offscreen when they find monsters. Cast your skele mages at the edge of the screen where they went. This will let you stay very safe if you had bad mods on your map. When you fight bosses, don't forget to pre cast before starting.

Thank you so much for the guide. Skelly mages are a blast.

one question: what is the best sequence of gear/gem/clusters to aim for when progressing?

Are the clusters the best first upgrades? Or upgrading gems? ETC.

Cheers.
