I like your idea to incorporate Phantasms to the mix and Lionseye allows it. My problem would be the resists I'll have to ditch on my current chest piece. Still, food for thought.

Followed this guide as my league start, don't play much so everything was relearning. Swapped from melee skellies to mages by around Act 6 and Tabula shortly after and those two items carried me to red maps. My current set up is blowing away content so quickly that I haven't had the chance to learn many boss mechanics. I've done some research and made some personal changes like Fleshcrafter chest and dropping Ele Equilibrium which gives me 3 more sockets. Recently added Animate Guardian and Spectres to my build, and trying to decide if I run a psuedo 5 link helm and go Crushclaws (this lacks Hatred + Triad Grips conversion etc) or support Spectres. I wasn't sure how much Frenzy charges would actually help my skele mages, then adding in an Arena Master for his buffs. If anyone has any suggestions for support Spectres, let me know!

Great guide, thanks for the help.

It is your build and progress I have been modelling on. kudos for the inspiration.

I have slotted Kitava's Teachings in the cluster zone, was wondering what are your thoughts on it.

Effects on Minions
Frenzy Charges 15% increased Attack Speed per Frenzy Charge 15% increased Cast Speed per Frenzy Charge 4% more Damage per Frenzy Charge 5% increased Movement Speed per Frenzy Charge
Power Charges 200% increased Critical Strike Chance per Power Charge

Charges effect on minions are much more significant. So consider using atleast a chieftant. Use Lifetap too so they can cast charges nonstop.

I really want to try Ancient Wrath/ Ancient Suffering for the added defense. They of Tul is neat but the visual effect just too annoying.

I'm trying some basic support spectres now, and my question is - is this actually ever used by skeletons? Because i'm recasting skeletons every 4 seconds, so there is no way they actually have any charges. I kinda thing these spectres are not good for this gameplay.

I have Arena Master too, he is really annoying, with all his slaming noises, but at least he is doing something (hopefully).

And then there is They of Tul. I already died a few times because i didnt see something on the floor... :-(

I have never used support spectres before, had no idea its so frustrating...
