Ishtar or will o wisp. Which is stronger and which can do crucible and sr?

Ishtar is stronger. both can do everything.

Hello Maya,

I’m trying this out as I love pet builds but don’t yet have any real items for one. I do have a more normal Conjurer build I am slowly trying to gear up and fancied trying this in the meantime. I know you don’t seem super impressed with it but for me if it gets me into Ultimate I consider that “good enough”!

One quick question really regarding Blood of Dreeg & Aspect of the Guardian. I’ve noticed that having just allocated my first point in Aspect of the Guardian whilst my sheet Poison & Acid resist goes up by 10 points my pet resistances do not. Interestingly if I put a point in summon Hellhound and have him unsummoned I still get 0% poison and acid res. If I summon him so I have him out with my skeletons THEN my pet stats update to 10% Poison & Acid res.

I am unsure exactly therefore how Blood of Dreeg & Aspect of the Guardian interact with skeleton’s specifically. They get the little green acid blob that circles so I assume that the Blood of Dreeg buffs are working. At least hopefully they are as I think they got tankier with the health regen. But do they get any benefit from Aspect of the Guardian or not? If they don’t that seems like it will make getting their poison and acid res high much more difficult than I expected.

I hope you are well and thank you for all your hard work you put into your pet guides. I am finding them very helpful. :slight_smile:

Your Pets, provided they are within the Aura of Blood of Dreeg (it is not a passive, but a buff that applies to everything in AoE), they get all the benefits including the ones from Aspect. If they don’t show up in pet stats, I assume that is the reason, but rest assured that they are benefiting from it.

Also ty for the kind words and glad you find them useful :blush:

Wow - thank you so much for your very quick reply!!!

Hope you have a nice weekend. :slight_smile:

Change to devotions since Obelisk’s DA node got changed and now requires 3 points.

Actually… further changes :3
No more Ognapesh or Dirge, but got other stuff to play with (like a fricking laser beam for RR)

I heard you guys like killing Callagadra. So I went and killed Callagadra :3

SR 80-81 done within time limit. Could definitely go higher, but was more interested in testing build’s damage than survivability. And I must say, even without any RR from Devotion, build shreds through anything that is not a Superboss.I like the new Skeletons.

New Crate kill as well:

Needed to use Consumables because too many Crates Spawn due to all the AoE and stuff (& because I don’t micro pets…)

How does the build do with Dirge of Arkovia and Ognapesh? I prefer having as many pets as possible even if performance is a bit worse.

Didn’t really test it on current patch, but previously performance wasn’t good.

The problem with Dirge and Ognapesh is that they both die too fast against things like Callagadra, but since you can’t reduce their cooldown, you are stuck without them for most of the tougher boss fights.

That + the new offhand is crucial for doing decent damage. Vitality is one of those damage types that needs all the Resistance Reduction it can get. The 35 flat RR from the off-hand’s skill is not to be underestimated, especially considering it has passthrough and hence can hit multiple targets at once.

But you can still go for Dirge + Oggy if you prefer although things like Crate and Cally will be much harder.

I don’t mind not doing Callagadra anc Crate, as long as it can do SR decently (75-76) it’s all good for me. I’ll give it a try, thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

Speaking of Callagadra, just noticed that I didn’t have Necrolord’s Aura on during the fight. Won’t have been much of a difference, but still would have been a bit faster with it on.

I have some adjustment from ur skill point, the base damage point for skele and 30% ele res to over for Pet is good survival for SR & CRU.
I personally think Bonds of Bysmiel is not worth investment for skeleton.

Definitely will look into it. Thank you <3
