Hello all, My friends have been asking for my skelly mage build from 3.17 and I thought I'd share it here, there are a few differences/additions from what I've seen on other builds. It's extremely tanky. Custom mods are from an AG setup. This was a highly optimized character that I spent 2 months building, so the gear is expensive. But it gives you an idea of what to aim for. Skelly mage is something I've played for 2 years now, and it's always been reliable as a league starter than can transition to doing all endgame content. I'll be rolling this again in 3.18 and look forward to the new ub

I'm hoping to gear this build fully by day 3-4 of league start, im just curious if i made any glaring errors or if people can suggest ways to increase the evasion, armor or life that would be great (will probably only be able to get +1 strike gloves but put in +2 strike), cant really think of any other gear ive put in that is unreachable within the first few days. i dont mind doing less damage if the trade off is more survivability. I went with Scion because im planning on playing a scion build later on in the league so this is my attempt to level and play with one char before respeccing into

“You can't stem this tide!”

Lord Izaro, On Ads, circa Act VII

Hey peeps, I'm trying to put together an Arc Ignite build for league start and here's what I have so far POB: Some things to note: I know the jewels can get expensive with those 4 mods, but getting faster damage + 1 DoT mod would get you 70% of the way there w/ a little less survivability and would probably be significantly cheaper Most of the rares can be substituted for high life+ss Any feedback is appreciated
