I don't look pob atm but why u need triad when all mage deal ele dmg ??

" for the zombies |
|
" I have moved off of the Triad Gloves, mostly for simplicity, and socket color problems. But they WERE there for the zombies, as originally I had zombies doing about 25% of the total damage. Now zombies are just meat sheilds, so Triad not needed any more. As far as EE, as long as we do a single elemental damage type, we lower the resists of enemies to the other two. SKel mages do less damage with cold than with Fire and Lightning, so using a cold spell would be optimal. I choose Storm Brand because it is fire and forget, lasts a relatively long time. But Winter Orb is an option too. Odif#4251 님이 2021. 1. 20. 오전 11:21:42에 마지막으로 편집

" With Threshold jewels, the INT does not need to be allocated, just in the radius. So either the socket to the left or above the Witch starting area works. | |
" It does not fall apart. You can keep using the Triad Gloves. Not using the Triad Gloves frees up some socket colors. We can use Zealotry instead of Anger. We can relegate Zombies to meat shields, instead of secondary DPS. Both versions are good. I went with the "No Triad" version, as I think it will be easier for newbies. | |
" IN the past, when I used support spectres, I liked 2x Carnage and 1x Host. | |
|
I think we should have a GLOBAL CHAT CHANNEL for this build.
Channel 798 Type /global 798 to join. We can use this channel in game to discus the build, ask questions about the build, help each other. If the channel gets spammy, I will pick a new number. I will be on the channel whenever I am playing. | |
" Minion elemental damage on jewels may mess up EE, fyi |
|
" I have to be honest, I was concerned about this but I didn't know if it does or not. I haven't noticed any sharp drop off in damage, but that is not to say that it isn't adversely affecting things (now up to T11 mapping, was T8 earlier when I changed things around). Anyone else have any insight? Presuming the 'minions deal added Phys' or 'minions deal added Chaos' wouldn't affect EE? Just potentially added cold/fire/lightning? |

" The added fire is nerfing the damage from your fire mages, but it's also buffing the lightning mages if you don't have other sources of added lightning and aren't spamming storm brand to trigger EE. Either way, your cold mages will be buffed. (EDIT: I got this slightly wrong. Read the responses that follow.) I didn't have dps problems even with the gmp setup until maybe T12+. Skeletons with enough added levels are just so strong you might not need to worry for now. GERWARIC#7694 님이 2021. 1. 20. 오후 7:52:26에 마지막으로 편집
