PoE 3.22 SSFSC Fresh League Starter to 4 Voidstones in 40h, Necromancer ZombieSkeletons.

Warning: This build is Socket Heavy. I am neither the best player, neither it's best option for Skeleton Warriors + Raise Zombie, it's more of how i would do so if i had a task to complete Campaign, be prepared for early mapping and going for all 4 Watchstones on Skeleton Warriors + Raise Zombie on Fresh account/League Start in 40h. Enjoy! Before reading B- Blue Socket R- Red Socket G-Green Socket, also uses of those imply that those are linked: Name is "Nessa" means interact with NPC after completing quest (mostly run forward or kill stuff). / means or. ( ) is Extra context, Optional Option or Cost of Gem. You can sell Blacksmith's Whetstone, Orb of Transmutation, Orb of Alteration to a vendor for 4 Wisdoms. You can sell Unidentified Magic/Rare for Transmutation Shard. (20 Shards will transform into 1 Orb of Transmutation) You can sell Identified Magic/Rare for Alteration Shards. (20 Shards will transform into 1 Orb of Alteration) If Identified Rare has 6 Affixes (3 Prefixes and 3 Suffixes) when sold it will give you 1 Orb of Augmentation. Always sell not Needed Unique items Identified. If you don't have Hideout you can Unlock 1st from doing it in Hideout in Dread Ticket (marked with Blue icon) Act 2 that zone can be accessed from Northern Forest, or in The Sewers (Act 3). On Weapons look for: (Goes by priority) +1 to Level of all Minion Skill Gems (Very Rare). ( from weapons with 60+ item Level) +1 to Level of all Spell Skill Gems (Very Very Rare). ( from weapons with 55+ item Level) Minions deal increased Damage. (Higher Better) Minions have increased Attack and Cast Speed.

Minions have increased Attack and Cast Speed. Minions have increased maximum Life. Attributes,to maximum Life, Lightning/Cold/Fire/Chaos Resistance. Amulet,Belt, Other Equipment: Attributes,to maximum Life, Lightning/Cold/Fire/Chaos Resistance. Note: Player is biggest Priority not Minions, you can't progress if you're dead. Playing Minions in PoE is having balance in gear between Minions and Player, heavy investment in one or another will result in other being weaker. Also Higher Movement Speed, better AI. (the lower this stat will go, the worse your experience will be with any melee minion) Most Minions have 40 Fire/40 Cold/40 Lightning/0 Chaos Resistance and are not affected by penalties as player do (Act 5 and 10). Act 1: Required Budget: 3 Wisdom,2 Transmute Optional: Make Mule character(i prefer Ranger) for higher chance of obtaining needed links (BBB,BBR) and extra wisdom scrolls. 1.)

Take Flame Dash from Tarkleigh, place it instead of Frost Blink. After getting to Caverns 13.) Take Flesh Offering from Nessa. Note: If you have Iron Ring you can sell it with Frostblink to get Sapphire Ring, that will make Merveil (Act boss) way easier for you. Act 1 before Boss Links: Summon Raging Spirits + Infernal Legion + Minion Damage Holy Flame Totem + Summon Phantasms + Raise Zombie Flame Dash + (Arcane Surge) Flesh Offering Vitality Act 2. (Kill all bandits) Required Budget: 3+3 Transmute,1 Alteration After Chambers of Sins 2. 15.) Buy Skitterbots (1 Alteration) from Yenna. (Skitterbots + Infernal Legion) 15.1.)

After Crematorium. 21.) Take Convocation from Maramoa. ( at 24 put in on Left mouse click for instant use while holding LMK). After Gravicious/Piety. 22.) Take Raise Specter from Maramoa. (if lvl 28 go to Act 2 town> Old fields, use Desecrate to get Carnage Chieftain Corpse (Big Red Monkey) and raise it with Raise Specter, it's need to be done only 1 time as Desecrate will remember Raised Corpses,so if lost can be used anywhere and will spawn Carnage Chieftain corpse in 1-3 uses of Desecrate).
