Changed the support minion from Storm mage to Frost mage to get freeze and chill. And I switched to the wide resolution to get extra visibility on the sides!
Man I love brutes, the slam is super satisfying to hear. I also moved away from arsonists as the constant flame wall was burning my eyes. I'm currently doing 9 reavers, 3 clerics, 1 brute and 1 sniper. Can't wait to see you make specters a thing when it arrives :) !
Brutes are my favorite skellies so far but because melee AI is so horrible, I was running a hybrid build. My brutes had 25% gain fire damage, 30% gain fire against ignited and heft. I was planning to add the remove all armor on heavy stun as the 4th skill so I could remove my skeleton sniper that's currently filling that role. Anyways, heft is probably bug because it's raising both, fire and physical damage. They also have that gain chaos damage from the skill tree, and all my minions have a chance to wither, the end result is a massive aoe when they heavy stun. Now, the hybrid portion....I'm still running arsonist with firewall and SRS. I really like this combination because you don't get your whole army stuck because of bad AI and the brutes usually get into melee range before the arsonists start shooting. I use my fire exposure on SRS because they cover the entire screen way faster than the dog, they just need that support gem that makes them lose life each second. Sorry I'm not using the names of the gems, I'm traveling and will be unable to play for a few days. Ohh and check out the unique scepter Sacred Flame. It makes enemies take elemental damage based on their lowest resistance, I already brought one before packing my console. My plan is to remove all arsonists but keep SRS to strip all fire resistances but play with frost and lightning mages. Frost will use scattered shot and the lightning mages use chain attacks, probably a ratio of 4 frost and 2 lightning since frost can use projectiles that gets advantage of firewalls. Everything should be getting frozen/shock/ignited/stunned and taking advantage of the fire exposure and that fire curse
@KayGaming on the skill gems tab, if you press the little arrow near the dps, you can look at the advanced menu. You could add a skill that uses your second weapon swap (if the weapon swap button is inconvenient, or adds too many buttons)
en son 3 sene önce seni izlemiştim. Uzun zaman oldu. Özlemişiz. Ölülerin kraliçesi. The last time I watched you was 3 years ago. It's been a long time. We missed you. Queen of the dead.
If you have any Vaal orbs you can quite easily get a 5 link going by Vaal-ing your 3 socket gems 1. Cut a low tier gem for the skill you want 2. Use a lesser jewellers orb (they're very cheap 9:1 for ex right now) 3. Vaal it 4. If you didn't get a 5 link repeat the process You can then level up the gem to the highest tier you have
for the doggo you could try using strip away to increase the effect of the exposure, or meat shield. For some reason the % less damage modifier is not applied to the "ignite" damage at all. if you are looking for some more options when you get more gem slots.
I can highly recommend snipers. Switched from arsonists to sniper because of the visual clarity and in my opinion snipers are currently the strongest skeletons. good visual clarity, can be played as a 0button build to clear the whole screen (i usually press pain offering and stand afk even in juiced t16 maps) and the single target is pretty crazy. I can kill the Sekhemas floor 4 boss in 20seconds and skip every phase. Just did a 10floor Trial of Chaos to rest and I 2 shot every boss. The gas arrows are crazy additional dps if you need it. I usually dont press it in maps because its not needed but it oneshots pretty much every rare in high maps.
@@KayGaming Did you try them at launch? I actually used them there and killed every boss in under 30seconds. Switched to arsonists for maps but back to snipers again now in endgame. The gas arrow explosion has fire conversion so it has great synergy with the hellhound fire exposure and flammability and using pain offering ontop of that makes for crazy boss damage. I think one gas arrow does around 800k on endgame bosses ( tooltip dps is 15k dps for the basic attack and 113k dps for the gas arrow explosion, I have 11 snipers currently) For general gameplay i like to run fire infusion, scatter shot, martial tempo, feeding frenzy and heft. Tried a lot of combinations but thats the one that felt really good for clear while not needing to gem swap for bosses (since scatter shot also shoots 3 gas clouds which explode) In my opinion the best skeletons currently, the only downside is that their upside is also their weakness. since they have such long range they stop to shoot everything so its really easy to run out of range so they despawn (i hope they fix this soon) I actually accepted my fate and let them clear the screen, then run far away from them on purpose to despawn them and run into the next pack so they respawn in the middle of enemies so they can clear and repeat. Might not be a great approach for squishy builds tho ^^
@@StoychoBalchev only uploaded a short clip called: Skeletal Sniper Infernalist vs. Zarokh - Trial Floor 4 (30-Second Kill) | Path of Exile 2 Showcase where i showed how the build looks against the sekhemas endboss. Was planning to gather some more clips to make a bigger showcase video and show the gear, tree, etc. there. allrounder links i am using most of the time are scatter shot, fire infusion, martial tempo, feeding frenzy and heft. for the majority of the map i am just pressing pain offering and let the snipers do all the work since they nuke most things ver very quickly. ontop of that flammability and spamming gas arrow on bosses. 2 gas arrows are usually enough to stun t16 difficulty 4 map bosses
I'm using the snipers too, and the gas arrow is really powerful with the doggo. The only problem is on maps where the minions get stuck all the time. GGG really needs to fix this. POE1 doesn't have this issue-it feels like a real downgrade
You could just make a black screen video of you reading a book, and I could just fall asleep. Your voice is really soothing. Lol but as always, I love the content. Keep up the good work.
If you don't want to use greater jeweler orbs, you can still 5 link via : lesser jeweler your skill > vaal until +1 socket > upgrade skill to desired level after
When running physical minions i usually run a poison hellhound whit for armor break whit Evenom/Deadly poison/Corrosion and Comorbidity, whit your pain offering up he will armor break rares and bosses in a few seconds at most.
melee skeletons get stuck in door ways as always ;3 Storm mage might better on clearing as instant attack with range but not that strong unless we play as Doryani with negative res. it struggles
The only time I had a delay in resummoning was if either the minions was dead when I weapon swapped or if there isn't room for them to spawn because I accidentally leaped into the middle of a big pack instead of next to the pack
EB is Eldritch Battery. It converts Energy Shield to Mana. I like it because it makes the Mana much bigger and benefits from mana regen (Energy Shield has 4 second recharge delay).
Skeletal Brute can play two set Set 1. Pure minions Set 2. Tank very high hp combo with minion Sacrifice (detonation dead) Set 1 for starter player Set 2 for late player have alot of currency

Hey Kay, what skill do u use on "X" in this Video?
This is so much better just to save my eyeballs from the searing pain of the constant fire effects of arsonists.
Kay! i am so happy to see you playing, you had my favorite summoner builds in POE1 before you stopped creating. The carrion golem's specifically
i love Kay forever...
Man I love brutes, the slam is super satisfying to hear. I also moved away from arsonists as the constant flame wall was burning my eyes. I'm currently doing 9 reavers, 3 clerics, 1 brute and 1 sniper. Can't wait to see you make specters a thing when it arrives :) !
Glad to have you back Kay!
You think that the biggest problem you have with minions would be AoEs. Nah, man. Doorways and narrow passages are deathtraps.

You need to utilize weapon swap to despawn minions move where you want and resummon them. Its a band aid but it works.
I didn't know how to do it on controller! But I've added it to the skill bar now
This works if none of your minions are dead, but even if just 1 is dead then all of them go on the same respawn timer

@@randomfeg4141 If you have a fast respawn timer its a non issue

So refreshing. Cant wait to hear more from kay.
Hi Kay, it’s everyone.❤
If you have any Vaal orbs you can quite easily get a 5 link going by Vaal-ing your 3 socket gems
1. Cut a low tier gem for the skill you want
2. Use a lesser jewellers orb (they're very cheap 9:1 for ex right now)
3. Vaal it
4. If you didn't get a 5 link repeat the process
You can then level up the gem to the highest tier you have
I tried it and wasn't lucky :( Lots of no results and even I got -1 minion level 😂
for the doggo you could try using strip away to increase the effect of the exposure, or meat shield. For some reason the % less damage modifier is not applied to the "ignite" damage at all. if you are looking for some more options when you get more gem slots.
welcome back kay!
Glad to see you back with PoE 2 dear. Miss your Minion guide❤
wow kay is back omg
I dont like minions but I like kay
Nice video as always Kay. I've been thinking about switching to Brutes actually but was unsure if they were worth it. I think I'll give them a shot.
Good Job Kay :)

Oh nice! I thought they were weak in the campaign so I didn't use them again, but I'll try them again next! Thanks for the suggestion!

KAY BACK YAY!!!!!!!!!!!
Only +5 to minion levels?! PATHETIC!
Always nice to see a new video from KAY
If you don't want to use greater jeweler orbs, you can still 5 link via : lesser jeweler your skill > vaal until +1 socket > upgrade skill to desired level after
Finally, time to start my minion build 🙂
gangsta team
instead of the frost minion, i realy like one lightning minion for the single target shock
He's very useful! I just changed to frost for the freeze/chill. Maybe 1 storm + 1 frost would be good.
they have to config that minions can clip through each other so they can go through narrow space, makes sense right?
No more praying that floor effects dont blow you up 😮
When running physical minions i usually run a poison hellhound whit for armor break whit Evenom/Deadly poison/Corrosion and Comorbidity, whit your pain offering up he will armor break rares and bosses in a few seconds at most.
ビルド紹介ありがとうございます。
Firewallが意外とグラフィックが重くて、Minionをどうしようかと考えていたので、とても助かります。
狭い通路で詰まってしまうのは、年明けにでもすぐに修正して欲しいですね。
そうなんですよね、私ももうfire wallでプレイ出来なくなっちゃいました😂
早めに直して欲しいですね！Weapon swopだとミニオンちゃんたちすぐ帰ってきてくれないので🥲
I had the same issue with visual clarity, I couldnt take it anymore.
Yea its really bad in this game everything is a wash.
It's so hard to see the on death effects
Kay you can weapon swap to tp your minions as a fix in the meantime.
melee skeletons get stuck in door ways as always ;3
Storm mage might better on clearing as instant attack with range but not that strong unless we play as Doryani with negative res.
it struggles
❤
Cant you just swap weapon twice fast to use convocation? It unsummons and resummons them instantly
Yeah it works, but it will unsummon any minion that gets through the door and I think there's a short delay after they resummon?
The only time I had a delay in resummoning was if either the minions was dead when I weapon swapped or if there isn't room for them to spawn because I accidentally leaped into the middle of a big pack instead of next to the pack
I'm waiting for you to make a sound😄
I once died because of groud effects withim a firewall
Me many times 😭
So newbie here, I've learnt what MoM is, but what is EB MoM?
eldritch battery = turn es into mana
EB is Eldritch Battery. It converts Energy Shield to Mana. I like it because it makes the Mana much bigger and benefits from mana regen (Energy Shield has 4 second recharge delay).
Eldritch Battery
Skeletal Brute can play two set
Set 1. Pure minions
Set 2. Tank very high hp combo with minion Sacrifice (detonation dead)
Set 1 for starter player
Set 2 for late player have alot of currency
your voice is so cute!
