Hi Miya, do you have a faction gear GT link as a stepping stone? Thank you for your time.
Not for a Skeleton build, no.
I do have faction gear GT link for non Skeleton Pet Cabalist in my guide, however
Heya Maya, newcomer here. Thanks for your work in creating guides and builds.
About the Skeletons build (wich i realy love), i have a question about damage and attack power converted to health that i canât seem to find INFO anywhereâŚ
- For example, the Wendigo constelation, with the summon skeletons added as the ability that procs it.
AFAIK it should work as everytime a skeleton does damage and procs it (with a low proc rate, i know, but multiplied by 12 skeletons or so), it should proc the vitality damage on the ability, and the player should get the life regen proc, right? or does it only procs on player-based attacks and in this case as the pets do most of the damage, it will almoust never proc?
Itâs realy kinda confusing what abilities can proc from pet-based attacks and others canât, and then the attack power based health regen aswel. Can you please elaborate and help out a little with some hint on how to spot the devotions/abilities that can proc from pets?
Thanks!
Unfortunately, it needs to be bound to a player based attack like you guessed for it to heal the player.
Also, welcome to the forums and glad to hear that you like the builds and guide 
Thanks for answering. If I may ask another question⌠the Toad constelation has a node that specificaly states:
âBonus to All Pets: +4% of Attack Damage converted to Healthâ
Hopefuly that means that every pet will self heal for 4% of each attack. Or the heal is for the player instead? Also, does that include âextraâ damage like for example Huntress âRENDâ proc ability or âBonus to All Pets: 18 Bleeding Damage over 3 Secondâ, or that self heal is only based on the petâs basic attack ?
Thanks for your time!
When anything says âbonus to all petsâ it affects the pets and not the player.
What Medea said. And flat dmg gets added to petâs basic attack dmg.
Hey there. I was wondering, with a build doggo & skeleton oriented, wouldnât we need some chaos/fire/vitality RR ? Iâm playing Cabalist right now, it has a good burst however some bosses have too much res that I can reduce with Vulnerability. Itâs even worse against the Ravager; with its 135% or so vitality res, I have a 10th or a 15th of my initial damage which make the fight unbearable.
Iâm lacking skill points for ravenous earth, and lacking devotion points.
Maybe I should take Manticore or that ravenous earth trading defensive stats and other spells ? What do you think about it, have you tried ?
Ravenous Earthâs RR only works if the spell gets a kill first. So it wonât help.
Manticore might, but the trade off is a bit too much for me personally.

Been leveling up with this build and itâs realy fun. Having loads of skellies wrecking everything is oddly satisfying. It has an average uptime work with cursing and reaping souls and buffing but i wish i had another button to press as the playstyle sometimes is mostly running away/avoiding stuff and making sure your pets are alive and min/max buffed.
Nothing wrong with this playstyle, is as valid as all the rest as long as you are having fun, but i suspect that iâll need to change something to acomodate another active skill. Problem is iâm not realy finding anything that fits here unless you heavily invest points in it, kinda negating the flavour and strenghts of the rest of the build.
Iâll try blight fiend explosion-on-a-cooldown extra ability and having 3 explding around, but i donât see any build using it so i expect it not to be all that greatâŚ
The builds below use Blightfiends, but they are Blightfiend focused builds with no skeletons:

Hi, Skulls & Bones Master ! (or Mistress ?.. AnywayâŚ)
Still enjoying this amazing build 
But⌠Just to clarify : âraise spiritâ on the Bonescavengerâs Deathgrip is nearly useless, right ?
I mean : pets kill enemies so fast I just canât even try to kill one to proc the skill 
Hi, could you please add screenshots of gear/skills/devotions as grimtools seems to be offline for long?
Been trying Dying God Devotion path instead of Mogdrogen and it âfeelsâ more damage, the Life regen delay penalty is kinda funky tough. Not sure if itâs realy all that bad, or itâs just a matter of getting used to it.
But it does make the fights a little bit more engaging, kinda like a risk vs reward cookie.
Correct. It is just for show, more or less. If you are wondering why, blame the devs for trying to make pet hybrids work.
PS: Hybrids donât work. Not without a major overhaul to the system.
Grimtools should be back up now. Sorry, I couldnât get back to you sooner
Yeah, you need to get used to the negative regen, especially with enemies that have strong DoT skills. But it does give a huge boost to the damage. So if you donât mind the risk, it will be worth the trouble.

Been using this setup (the more defensive one with Healing Rain and Natureâs Guardian) and itâs realy smooth to play. I come from a retaliation Sentinel so i enjoy the more defensive âhardyâ style of this build.
Made a few changes to get a few more sustainable HP regen (with points in bat with skeletons proccing it), and wendigo (on COF procs) and realy works well, itâs even more defensive. The pets are less buffed but Hp is constantly coming up with the added devotion procs. Not sure if itâs end-game viable for the petsâ survival, but itâs fun now. Oh and i got some points for staff of rattosh with this diferent path - Very good devotion for petsâ stats.
Hi, thanks for the build. Curious how long it takes for it to do a crucible run?
I havenât checked in the current patch, but should be less than 12 mins on a blessings+banner run.
I donât really bother with the crucible anymore, so my builds donât get optimized for it any more.
kind of necro post, but since necromancer is one of masteries, hope same will be forgiven

if you drop Crane and put 4 poitns in Lion + yellow crossroad, you can put 6 points in Light of Empyrion and get that 6th devotion point for +3% max aether/chaos for player and +5% max res for pets.
The loss is res from Crane (not so significant) and you have to invest 22 points in spirit to equip Cataclysm Eye, so DA is 2823 instead of 2867, though hp is 20500 instead of 19500.
Not sure which one is better.
