Since the above build is an endgame build, use the information provided below for leveling.
Attributes:
Everything into Physique, except for when you need to invest into Cunning or Spirit to meet the required stats for equipping items.
Leveling:
Start as Necromancer-
We will be focusing on Skeletons first before respec’ing halfway through, into Blight Fiends & Reap Spirit and then going back to invest points in Skeletons later on. The reason for this is that Skeletons struggle Mid-game and hence the shifting of focus for a bit helps make things a bit easier.
Since we are going for a Ritualist, it is recommended that you put enough points in Shaman early on, to get a 16/16 Briarthorn before going back to focus on the Necromancer Side. However, do note that it is optional and not necessary for success.
Oggy is mostly for the meme potential. Can be replaced with something else if needed. My other choice for offhand would probably be M.Reaper of the Accursed.
Definitely need Skeletons with wings. However, needs to be this instead:
Testing done. It is slow as expected, due to lack of proper amounts of RR and the dmg type being Vitality.
But damn those things can take a beating and are hard to kill.
The player on the other hand, can die pretty easily if you are not careful.
I still prefer my Diviner + Trinkets Cabalist, by a mile. But for anyone interested in Skeletons and a Lazy skeleton build at that, this one is kind of interesting.
Also note that this thing is horrible against superbosses, as expected of Skeleton builds.
I’m a newbie in pets, so maybe don’t understand many things, but isn’t Soul Harvest great for pets? Especially considering the amount of them at your disposal.
Also, last 2 points in Undead legion… Aren’t they pretty useless?
Also, have you tried full vitality? On my Cabalist I managed to squeeze Rattosh, Bysmiel’s Command, Shepherd’s call and Nature’s Guardian, which seems fine on paper in terms of RR and important pet procs. Also Rattosh is no-cd, so skellies proc it real fast.
Haven’t tried the thing outside campaign + 25 shard in SR. Did fine by my standards, except Kuba. MC Kuba is a big no-no, unless you have a lot of time and patience…
Soul Harvest is indeed great for Skeleton Builds. But I find myself lacking skill points.
As for the devotion setup, I wanted to go full defensive spec. It was the only way I personally could play a skeleton build. I prefer beefier pets and lazy play style, so that mind set kind of carried over.
Think of this as a meme build that is viable instead of thinking of it as a proper well optimized one.
I’m surprised you spent two devition points in Obelisk of Menhir for some defense instead of adding at least one more point in Light of Empyrion where you get +3 to max. aether and chaos resistance and +5 max. to all pet resistances. Is there any thought behind this?
