Lineage Support Gem Purchase Priority is Rigwald's Ferocity for Attack Speed (Movement Speed) on
Boneshatter (make sure this is a Level 1 Skill), Rakiata's Flow for
Rain of Arrows, Garukhan's Resolve again for
Rain of Arrows, Uul-Netol's Embrace for
Rain of Arrows lol, Uhtred's Exodus for either
Skeletal Sniper or
Skeletal Reaver, Uhtred's Omen for whichever Minion Skill you did NOT use Uhtred's Exodus in (make sure to accompany this with Minion Mastery, and finally Dialla's Desire for the
Solus Ipse tech in all of our skills.
I'll quickly explain the Level 26 breakpoint for Minions! Before Spirit Cost Reservation the minions have an inherent spirit cost, at level 26 we reach a breakpoint that enables us to use an additional minion. With
Skeletal Sniper we corrupt for +1 Level of Skill Gem and on the
Skeletal Cleric we opt for a Minion Mastery support to accompany Uhtred's Omen. Remember that this is all made possible with our
Ancestral Tiara +2 Level of All Minion Skills Suffix! The
Skeletal Sniper for example has 21 Levels from Level 20 Skill Gem + our corrupt of +1 Level, 2 Levels from our
Ancestral Tiara, and the last +3 from Uhtred's Exodus. The next breakpoint for a reduction in inherent Spirit cost is at Level 31 so we can ignore this!
Boneshatter [Weapon Set I] is at LEVEL 1, if you have Mana issues this is not at LEVEL 1
Spiral Volley [Weapon Set II] is our main clear skill and has an inherent synergy with Frenzy Charges
We use Armour Break III because
Resonance in our tree turns the Endurance Charges from Broken Armour into Frenzy Charges, enabling us to use the multiplicative damage scaling on
Spiral Volley
Rain of Arrows [Weapon Set II] is our single target skill, very very very simple just put this on the boss a few times and it will die
Herald of Ash [Weapon Set II] is just the best use of 30 Spirit because we cant get 2
Skeletal Sniper for that cost
Skeletal Sniper [Weapon Set II] the entire build is revolving around this Skill. Projectile Acceleration III turns all of the +15% Increased Projectile Speed into Increased Projectile Damage. This is not a CONVERSION, you get the Speed AND the Damage! Every single
Skeletal Sniper is +21% Projectile Speed after the Projectile Acceleration III multiplier of 1.4! We have not tested if the multiplier works before or after the Increase Damage but we err on the side of after and we do not benefit from our TOTAL Projectile Speed, but instead the value BEFORE the multiplier! The Spirit breakpoints are important as is the Level of the
Skeletal Sniper so refer to the gear section, specifically the
Ancestral Tiara (+2 Level of all Minion Skills and
Idol of Ralakesh),
Vile Robe, and
Solar Amulet (don't forget
Lord of Horrors anoint). We aim for Level 26 and we get there with +1 Corrupt, Level 20 Skill Gem, +2 Levels of all Minion Skills from
Ancestral Tiara suffix, and an extra +3 from Uhtred's Exodus. Remember these Minions should not be on your screen but instead at the top in the buffs section.
Skeletal Reaver [Weapon Set I] these give us skill speed for
Boneshatter which is then multiplied with
Dance with Death
Profane Ritual [Weapon Set I] this gives us Endurance Charges which multiply our defenses with
Charge Regulation, and the occasional Frenzy and Power Charge.
Charge Regulation [Both Weapon Sets] gives us multiplicative Critical Hit Chance on occasion with the Charge Profusion II support in our
Profane Ritual, 1.2x multiplier to our defenses with our Endurance Charges, and an Increase in Skill Speed which is then multiplied with
Dance with Death
Escape Shot is because we cannot dodge roll because we have
Unwavering Stance in our
Flesh Crucible. We only use this on the Act 3 Silverback boss and when we get stuck near an invulnerability shrine
