Recently, players have expressed significant concerns about the survivability of Skeleton minions in the new version, and this has also been one of the most common complaints. At present, Skeletons are still comfortable in the Shattered Realm 30–31, 5 Ashes dungeons, and regular Celestials. However, if you try to push higher, the pressure on Skeletons becomes much greater. So just choose between a Skeleton minion build or a Beast minion build according to your personal preference.
At the same time, some players have spent hundreds or even thousands of hours farming dual-rare affix gear — things like taskmaster、Untamed and similar affixes. After resistances were removed from them, even some magic affixes can now outperform them, which I personally find rather unreasonable. I hope Crate will eventually take the time to adjust these affix values.
Finally, a quick overview of this build: the Skeletons only have a 0.8 second cooldown, which is one of its advantages — you don’t have to worry much about them dying. The damage output is fairly average and still lags behind some of the mainstream DPS builds. But if you enjoy Skeleton builds, it’s still worth giving it a try.
Additionally, many of the armor augments used in the video increase the character’s armor and healing effectiveness, which is why these stats appear much higher than in the GT. The augments in the GT setup have already been changed to ones that provide DA and health instead.
