Squirt's Necklace

this build is my take on the necro pet build Lod variant with cold it does really good damage.

basic build rundown

you use simulacrum which never times out thanks to amulet so always press that if its down

you then use golem to freeze enemy's then cast skeletal mage twice thanks to simulacrum you cast six at a time.

you then command your skeletons to attack and kill everything note when attacking any higher enemy such as elites or magic always command skeletons to attack them first.
