Skills

1. Soulfire (primary skill)

2. Skeletal Mage

3. Command Golem

4. Command Skeletons

5. Bone Armor​​

​

Main Hand

Wiltbloom - Encases you inside a golem giving 50% damage reduction, increased movement speed, and new skills.

​

Off-Hand

Scattered Light - Skeletal Mage now summons mobile untargetable Spectral Mages that passively spawn. Also, Skeletal Mages can now sacrifice themselves to remove a total loss of control effect from you.

​

Main Hand 2

No Rest, No Peace - When a skeleton dies, nearby allies gain high increased attack speed for three seconds.

​

Off-Hand 2

Corrosive Slab (offensive for more kills) - Command Golem now also makes enemies take increased damage.

Life In Balance (defensive for tanking) - Skeletal Champions take up to 19% of your incoming damage for you. This item also has synergy with the No Rest, No Peace essence which increases nearby allies attack speed when a skeleton dies.

​

​​​​

Recommended Sets

1. Shepherd's Call to Wolves (4 Set) - Increases the damage of you and your minions for each minion you have out.

2. Vithu's Urges (2-4 Set) - Increases the duration of your beneficial effects by 30%.

3. Untouchable Mountebank (PvP 2 Set) - Great for PvP for a large absorb shield which improves your survival.

​

Best Curses

1. Lashed - Using your primary attack gives a chance to generate three crackling whips that damage enemies.

2. Vexed - Deals AoE damage when your summons first enter the battlefield with a cooldown.​

3. Ghosted (PvP) - Summons a minion to take damage for you and increases your attack and movement speed.

​

Best 5 Star Legendary Gems

1. Roiling Consequence - Increases your critical hit chance and causes critical hits to burn enemies.

2. Golden Firmament - Causes ranged wind damage attacks and increases your evasion rating.

3. Seeping Bile - Gives a 4% chance to poison and slows enemies movement speed (also triggers the Pain Clasp gem).

4. Echoing Shade - Summons one to three minions based on gem rank that use your primary attack.

5. Maw of the Deep - Useful at high ranks to deal damage, draw in enemies, stun enemies, and gain a damage buff.

6. ​Starfire Shard - Used in PvP to deal damage and stuns enemies inside the Maw of the Deep legendary gem effect.

7. Frozen Heart (switch to this for PvP) - Can be switched to for PvP to give an absorb shield and chill opponents.

8. Stormvault (PvP) - Used at rank 5+ to create a storm that damages enemies over time and slows their movement speed.

​

Best 2 Star Legendary Gems

1. Pain Clasp - Gives high increased damage against enemies with a continual damage effect on them.

2. Viper's Bite - Poisons enemies on cooldown and triggers the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem.

3. Mother's Lament - Increases your critical hit chance and causes enemies to bleed.

4. Specter Glass - Increases the damage taken by enemies after critical hits and increases your critical hit chance.

​5. Mourneskull - This legacy gem is drop disabled but it can still be used to increase your damage and deals damage.

6. Crimson Behelit (PvP) - Strong PvP gem that gives increased damage and reduced damage taken but it's drop disabled.

​

Best Starter 1 Star Legendary Gems

1. Berserker's Eye - Increases all of your damage and critical hit chance but also increases your damage taken.

2. Everlasting Torment - This budget gem deals damage over time which triggers the damage increase on Pain Clasp.

Note: Everlasting Torment should eventually be replaced with a leveled 5 star Seeping Bile to trigger the Pain Clasp gem.

​

Best Familiars

1. Savior Duskprowler - The best option is a 170+ Resilience legendary Duskprowler that has Savior which provides a cheat death. The 170+ Resilience lowers the cooldown for Savior but can be lower to make the familiar more affordable.

2. Broodtalon/Skitterwight - Can have Savior which provides a cheat death and Lingering Wounds for increased damage.

3. Rare Duskprowler - Relentless Strikes is the next best skill because it gives a chance to cast the Duskprowler shield twice. Innervate which gives a chance at resetting the player's skill cooldown, Steel Hide which gives a chance to block, Precision which gives the shield critical hit chance, and Tenacity which lowers the cooldown of the shield are also desirable.

4. Magic Duskprowler - Duskprowler shields are hard to replace so a rare or magic ability Duskprowler is the budget option.

Note: Broodtalons and Skitterwights have status effects over a duration which increases the duration of Lingering Wounds.

​

Normal Gems

Prioritize Tourmalines for added damage in red sockets and Citrines for Potency which increases harmful effects durations in yellow sockets. You should use your highest refinement Aquamarines and Sapphires which give increased armor and armor penetration in blue sockets. You can also optionally combine all of your Rubies which give life and Topazes which give resistances into a couple Rubies and Topazes and socket them in your equipment for higher refinement. Refinement is determined by the quality of the normal gem and increases the attributes of the gear the gem is socketed in.

​

Gem Notes

Legendary gems that provide increased skill damage like Colossus Engine and Entropic Well don't increase the damage of summons so they shouldn't be used on this build. The new Specter Glass two star legendary gem should be used because it's one of the best two star gems for almost every build. Viper's Bite, Everlasting Torment, and Seeping Bile deal continual damage which trigger the damage increase on the Pain Clasp legendary gem. Golden Firmament is a strong fairly new 5 star gem that has wind damage, increased evasion rating, and it triggers Firestorms for increased wind damage when mixed with burning damage. Roiling Consequence and Mother's Lament give increased critical hit chance and work well with Igneous Scorn and Everlasting Torment which deal damage on critical hits. When using Roiling Consequence, Specter Glass, and/or Mother's Lament you should also try to roll increased critical hit damage on every piece of gear with Reforge Stones. Echoing Shade summons 1-3 minions that use your primary attack which is especially helpful for your minion count with the Shepherds Call To Wolves set which increases your critical hit chance based on how many minions you have out. One of your lowest priority legendary gems like Igneous Scorn or Everlasting Torment should also be switched to Frozen Heart in PvP once the Frozen Heart is rank 4 or higher for a large absorb shield and to chill opponents. ​
