Introduction
You can make really tanky pet builds and go deep in the shattered realm, but also you can focus more on their damage side. Witching Hour Cabalist has the potential of stacking % damage to some insane values in order to compensate for the lack of significant -RR and Skeletons can deal some obscene damage. It’s a brave new post-apocalyptic world out there…
Build
- main stats panel
- pet stats, only permanent buffs, damage is much higher with procs.

Gear
Key items here are the Witching Hour weapon (shocking revelation) and sprinkle of gear with skeleton modifiers/skill points bonuses. 2x Voidwhisper rings are mandatory for conversion. Sovereign Ruby makes Hellhound (your main tank) even stronger defensively, and here Bysmiel’s Domination shines. You need to stack every bit of damage possible. MI gear used is with best affixes, look for pet stats or player resistances.
Devotions
Since the build’s base is pretty frail, you need to compensate, taking few defensive devotions. T3 combo of Dying God and Ishtak is pretty good for chaos pets, also Behemoth, Ulo and Dryad to heal the pet master. Fiend proc on Skeletons adds extra AoE damage.
Performance
The build shines in farmable territory, really fun and fast build in buffed Crucible. Can compete without buffs as well, and it’s pretty solid for SR 75-76 farming. It’s not the most suitable pet build for deep realms. Ravager of Flesh isn’t that hard, but you need to swap jewel augments for the ones giving pets bleeding resistances, thanks for the tip @nofika4u. Time isn’t super impressive, due to lack of significant RR shred. Videos:
