PoE Vaal Summon Skeletons, Minion builds with custom stat filters

Main difference on other skeleton mages is that this build WILL use the new unique belt The Burden of Truth. Otherwise this is a mayorly sub-par and not swag build. I also managed to squeeze 5 auras: Defiance Banner, Determination, Purity of Elements, Zealotry and Tempest Shield. We DO lose Generosity on Zealotry, so it is slightly weaker than other Generous builds. The main take away is that this is in theory extremely defensive, specially in mapping. 1 shot bosses will still one shot you because 1 shots. This build

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

Hi there exiles, I was planning on trying a strong tank build and thought on making some changes on the usual mage skeleton tree. What do you think about it? I am a bit concerned about the mana because probably it makes everything a bit slow while maping but anyways I think it will be enough.

So because of multiple games that game out in this time, I didnt get to play this league much. Since 3.18 isnt making many changes I was thinking of trying out my build again but was wondering if maybe there was any advice people could give. This was a build of my own design so I know its not great, but any tips would be appreciated. I super lack in defenses and my gem links are just stuff I threw together. Like I still have a portal gem and GMP i was leveling in there. The Vaal Summon Skeletons is literally just used as a blocker/distraction for big scary things or bad groups. As for the

I'm working on upgrading my Skeleton Mage setup now that I have a real budget for upgrades. I have about 25 Ex in the bank and another 10-12 Ex worth of stuff I'm trying to sell for further upgrades. I started off following a leveling guide and now I'm trying to adjust to follow the more popular builds I see on POE Ninja but I know I should make some adjustments Current POB: Possible upgrades: Swap the belt for Darkness Enthroned and a couple of 20% minion damage if used recently jewels. But, that makes balancing resists harder. I'm running a pretty cheap Anim

Last night I hit 98, never been past 96 before and really feeling like I really want to push for 100. Running juiced Cemetary/Strand, but maybe once every 20 maps or so I'm taking a death and it hurts. It seems to only ever be hard elemental hits such as getting too many flameblasts from beyond bosses, or stray volatiles. I should be quite tanky towards most everything. 6.2k life, 77all res, 67 chaos, capped block during combat 67/69 otherwise, 73% phys reduc without buffs. I have 40ex pure right now, could probably make another 10 easy by selling off other currency. Thinking Awakened Spell

Hi there. So I made a summoner, a terrible one and I want to improve him a bit and I think I need your help.... kinda :) Normally I stop playing the character when I reach the first T10 map and only made it to awaking level 3 once. Here is the past bin, I haven't set any configuration, it is just the gear, gems and the passive tree. I have to work on more armor to get to 75% phys cap (currently 68%). I don't wan't to play without "unwavering stance" (can't evade attacks, can't be stunned). I have mage skeleton (mage because o

Hello everyone, wanted to share my most tanky version of Mage Skeletons with the implementation of the new Melding of the Flesh for max 87 all res + CI (cause i hate chaos damge) The result is Massive defences layers CI , Purity of ice, Aegis Aurora, Determination, Definces Banner, Vile Bastion To see the max damage output you can change the 0% to 5% at the brittle effect in the config the build is not min maxed so alot of small things are not the best in slot or fully optimised... \notice that flasks and molten shell is not ticked\ have fun :) [
