Saw a few comments asking about spellpower scaling with the skeletons. Did some testing with different gear and it looks like this: With 21 spell power a single skeleton hits for 7 dmg. So 1/3. Confirmed this at 30 spellpower and they hit for 10. Not a huge difference in terms of raw dmg but ya, it is affected
I totally agree with the death knight jewel roll. The duration and health make him into almost a mini boss for the npc's. It's a lotta fun to just cast him and let him do his thing. Skeleton mage is cherry on top.
Hardest hitting thing I’ve found is bone explosion, chaos volley, and veil of storms. It’s insane when the skellys rally and go to work on the dudes with ignite on them. Chain lightning procs the ignite people and if they die, everything blows up. Also using motira’s lament. Def want the veil jewel that your illusion shocks thing and veil through things to cause static. You can blow up rifts like a joke. Warlock amulet and maleficer.
@@toggle3927 not if you are using bone explosion. Already have your source of condemn. You could use it, it’s not bad, it just seems to me that getting as many different status effects (as long as they work well together) is more beneficial.
The moment I got two necro magics that summoned minions I recognized true power. So many fights were trivialized. If you haven’t by now focus on building up your servants and get them to steal as much iron, paper and scrolls as possible. Knowledge is power in the game and the more items you unlock the better
Theorycrafting here cause do not have all weapons/gems needed; Weapon: Cloud Dancers (Slashers) Blood: Rogue Armor: Shadowmoon Necklace: Blademaster Veil: Storm w/Increases damage of next primary attack by 14 - 25%, Increase elude duration by 13 - 20%, Your illusion periodically shocks a nearby enemy dealing 10 - 20% damage and inflicting Static and then whatever want to last one so long it's not the static consuming one (could have one spell which potentially consumes static but having two is overkill) Spell 1: Ball of Lightning w/Increases damage per shock by 4 - 6%, Recast to detonate the orb early. The explosion deals 31 - 50% increased damage, Increases projectile range by 15 - 25%, and then your choice either consume static cause stun, gain movement speed, or knockback when the orb explodes (can be triggered by the early explosion) Spell 2: Discharge w/Turn immaterial for 1 - 1.6s if you have 3 Storm Shields active when the effect ends, Each active Storm Shield grants 4 - 6% spell life leech, When triggered charge your weapon up to 3 times; The next primary attack deals 19 - 30% bonus damage per stack and inflicts Static and lastly Increases the damage done by Storm Shields by 13 - 20% or recast effect if want explosion+knockback. Ultimate: Raging Tempest is good for a brief time where enemies cannot attack you (and easy to reposition in a fight), but Lightning Typhoon does a lot more damage (nearly three times as much) during its duration which is not split up like with Raging Tempest. Purpose: Keep static flowing like having insane attack speed and double elusive strikes for burst melee dmg and unsure does camouflage or necklace storm shields benefit from the gem or not, but still storm shields are meant to be constantly active and tick enemies while you move and viciously strike, crit and dash and crit. It's not bursty dmg but consistent 'dot' dmg that you generate with quick melee attacks which trigger static and then burst enemies with elusive strikes to trigger chain lightning effects. A ball of lightning can be a source of burst dmg with an early explosion (or also have discharge with recast to have another burst explosion).
Yes finally, a proper condem army build i've been waiting for instead of making one up myself, as for frost I go Weapon: Hand of winter legendary mace Armor Set: Dracula's Dread armor set Jewelerly: whatever gives the chill effect Blood Type: Warrior Spells: Veil of Frost, Frost Bat or Crystal Lance, Frost Barrier, and Arctic Leap or Ice Block I inspired it off a old frost build I saw a while ago but works fine as the mace's ability to do extra damage to frozen enemies and freeze chilled enemies is deadly along with plenty of ways to chill/freeze the enemy with tons of spells, it's a rough build so feel free to experiment to see how you can make it better Edit: It's also kinda a hybrid build that primarly focuses on physical damage with the jewelry improving spell casting and additionall chill effects
I do something similar. I run 2 piece spell crit with spell crit necklace,2 piece physical crit with rogue blood. Frost bat with shield mod and spectral wolf with heal mod for sustain. I sit at 30% spell crit and 50% physical crit so i guess it's a hybrid build? When that Mace Q crits for 400+ dmg man...and i have the option of sitting back and ranging fights with bow or pistol. Mace E, into Frost Bat for the freeze, into Mace Q for the dunk is so satisfying. Also works with Ice Nova if you need more AoE freezes for the dunk.
I've been running a skeleton heavy build and the jewel modifier for corrupted skull that makes it summon 2 skeletons per hit seems like a much better battery for generating minions than bone explosion imo. Especially on bosses. Dig the build vids!
True, but idea with a bone explosion is health restoration and lifetime reset for skellies so they last around longer. But it's viable to go for less reset and just conjure more mobs quicker.
@@NickkSMO17 Can buy from merchants, best/top tier ones in the big city in silverlight hills. But also keep eye for chests as they often contain random gems (and also coins needed buy gems). Also can craft coins needed through fabricator in your castle as well but it is resource expensive. Also you unlock stygian summoning circle, can summon a golem which drops lots random gems when defeated.
I am using the Red Twins with a similar build and I find the leech is great for sustain. I Cast condemn and throw my axes on top of the pack for crazy group damage.
Id argue the yellow amulet has greater synergy, since all of the death knight swings and sword skeleton swings will proc the static damage, buffing damage by an insane amount
@@UnknownDarkness47 i swear i have negative luck stat. even the VERY FEW %90+ blood types i find get rekt by a suprise golem or mantrap before i get to duskcallers
Might try this, but it will take a lot to make me let go of my build. Scholar blood, (twin) corrupted bolt, Death knight, Veil of illusion, Army of dead, in maleficer armor and Warlock neck with reaper. Most of build is similar but plays very different. Ranged build that focuses on spamming spells and throwing Reaper E, using Q to keep out of melee. Abusing the free spells from blood and illusion cast corrupted bolt till you do not get a free cast then cast Knight. While the percent has not changed this tactic keeps up a double knight most of the time. Using knight jewel for extra life and not extra time you get more mages ,since they only spawn on knight time out and not on death. Warlock was my choice based on spell cooldown already being maxed by blood, armor, and weapon, but I might try the movement speed.
Drop deathknight for ball lightning. Run into pack of mobs, dash (so they concentrate on your illusion), then drop condemn then ball lightning. Enjoy when you spawn 5-8-10+ skelebois. Running this build, I can clear a tier 2 rift in about 2 and a half minutes max. Weapon doesn't really matter. The ones I like are, Reaper/Axes/Pistols. Basically anything that can exploit condemn and static with lots of small hits.
i thought skeleton damage scales based on spell power, but they dont inherit or scale off of any other spell stats like spell crit etc, so you want gear that gives spell power but basically nothing else spell-related related, like the Grim set a big question i have (as i dont have it yet), is the crimson commander amulet's 'lesser bloodrage' proc an AOE buff like the actual bloodrage spell? (i'd assume so, or else it'd jsut be flat worse than the power charge proc on the wicked prophet amulet, but you never know with these things) and if so, i'd say it could arguably take precedence over unyielding charger amulet's 10% skeleton spawn--though probably not solarus' death knight spawn chance (and fallen angel ult)
look fun, I may have to give it a go. I was liking doing corrupted skull with the split and causes an explosion if you hit a skelly with it over the bone explosion spell. It has nice little bursts of damage and it felt like my little skele-friends were not long for the world anyways so it leans more into the ebb and flow of the skeletons... but I like the lean into keeping them up as long as possible as well. Even on my corrupted skull build that second spell slot was void as often as it was an unholy spell... a jewelled up void is just so hard to quit... but it bounced around between void, death knight, or ward of the damned for them bosses with flurry attacks.
If you want max skeletons then Bone Explosion isn't a good skill. Because it doesn't summon skeletons on its own, only through condemn. Thus either ward of the damned or corrupted skulls are the only valid options for max minions. The reset lifetime sound nice, but in reality two things will happen first before it you get value out of it. Either the NPCs you fight against die on their own, which summons new skeletons anyway, or they get killed by high damage attack. In some bossfights they might even get outranged when the boss teleports around. So rather just summon more and more skeletons with corrupted skulls and/or ward of the damned.
newbie here, should my weapon also have condemn ability? if im using unholy build, or it is ok for example im using reaper with static ability but unholy build? because atm i dont have weapon that have condemn ability, thanks
Also new to game but i notice there are different their 4 Gems with different first stat, maybe I missing but do you tell what the name of the gem is you want to use?
For example teir 4 green gems , Baneful Stone, Malicious Bone Chime, both for Veil of Bones, but Baneful Increases damage done to targets below critical health by 39%, and Malicious does damage to next primary attack by 23%., The dfash heal is higher on Banfull, the rest are same ?
Is this possible to setup while leveling? I'm currently at 50 and im having a hard time as melee as I'm basically forced to stay at range and use ranged abilities.
At level 50 you're probably going to have to split between 2 schools of magic. At least until you can get more tier 2 spell points. I'd recommend using a mix of Unholy and chaos spells until you can go all in on one type
Imo any build would work on normal just fine. Brutal Solarus would just destroy you with this set of skills, I think. But why not use maleficer set, scolar blood and vampiric brew? Less cooldown = more minions and better uptime. Would be fun to see how spammy this could become.
Yep, I was thinking the same thing since most of the bosses wipe out all summons pretty much with a single AOE skill and no matter the gems they are on and all of them have very low HP, I've used the Chaos Build from the last video and that thing is soo good and comfy compared to this....
On Brutal id swap out the death knight for the ward at a minimum. I like the idea of a spammy skeletons build. But it would be a different direction than this with the reaper being the primary source of damage. I'd like to see which performs better 🤔
@@satyaswaroopdevarapalli5177 I think its boss dependent. But ya the Chaos build was my preferred of the two, which is why I covered that one first. I like this one for spamming skeletons and a more melee focused build
@@UnknownDarkness47 I like to run pistols, chaos dash, chaos barrier and frost barrier with spider ult on this boss. You can counter everything he has and punish him hard for spam. Also good to have gem that gives you power surge on chaos barrier.
If you wanted to swap the scythe for the pistols or bow sure. But any more than that and I'd recommend checking out my frost or chaos build. Which are both more ranged focused
Skeletons very much deal dmg based on spell power, base ones is around 25% of your spell power, mages 90%, and the knight is clearly written as dealing 50% in its description. Honestly having played a lot of necromancy build, Knight is just underwhelming, he just doesn't do enough and dies too fast against late game mob and bosses, he seems more suited for pvp where he'll be a bother.
I bet i prefer to have 2 level 1 skills for this (it just feel like the death knight dies to fast imo). The coil skill can be gem'ed to spawn 2 skellies on impact, then, another gem power is that the target get a skull around it, so it can corrupt more. Coil also deal more dmg on target with low health, so, it can also be used to finish off weaker enemies, making 1 enemy suddenly spawn 3 skelets!, 2 from impact and 1 from dying with condemt debuff. Then maybe the bone spell to heal / reset the timer on your army, while dashing whenever the bone is on CD.

do you have a source on skeletons not scaling with spell power?
Actually just tested this out. Check the pined comment. But short answer yes it scales, but not by a lot
I don't think minions benefit from spell crit. You probably should adjust for that by focusing on other stats.
what passive abilities do u use
