  Krysbin's Sentence

5th passive skill on Hellfire amulet: Commander of the Risen Dead or Spreading Malediction

1. Maximizing your damage

Trag’Oul’s Avatar 6 piece set bonus will grant you 3300% bonus to damage to your Life-spending abilities.

Skeletal Mage (Life Support Rune) is a Life-spending skill.

Jesseth Arms (Scythe and Shield) set will cause your minions (Skeletal Mages are minions)to deal 400% increased damage while your skeletons are commanded to attack a target. Also, when the target of your Command Skeletons dies, your skeletons are automatically commanded to attack a nearby target.

• Maximizing your damage

Use the Freezing Grasp Rune on your Command Skeletons skill will proc The Krysbin's Sentence 300% bonus to damage. Command your Skeletons to high HP mobs.

The Scythe of the Cycle will cause your Secondary skills (Skeletal Mage is Secondary skill) to deal 250–300% additional damage while Bone Armor is active but reduce the remaining duration of Bone Armor by 4 seconds. Make sure to recast your Bone Armor.

• Your Resource (Essence) & Survivability

You don’t need a generator for an Essence in this build, but if you want, you can use it instead of Frailty.

I like Frailty (Aura of Frailty) because it makes mobs die faster.

Devour will give you an Essence and with a Devouring Aura rune selected, it will become an aura (15 yards) that can be increased by 50% of your gold pickup radius.

Avarice Band ring + Boon of the Hoarder gem combo will give you high pickup radius and extremely high Armor (Survivability) combined with the Goldwrap belt.

Large Frailty aura will also give you bonus to damage combined with Spreading Malediction passive skill.

• Breakpoint & Variations

Best attack speed Breakpoint for Mages is 24 frames Breakpoint (2.5 attacks per second).

It only takes min. 6% AS on your weapon and 7% AS on one item and Tasker and Theo gloves in the Cube.

There are many variations to this build, but u will show you two.

1. Reaper's Wraps - build that is so easy to play (my mom could play it) because you will not have problems with HP or Essence in order to cast Mages.
2. Nemesis Bracers - build that is faster than Reaper's Wraps build because you could spawn a champion pack, but you have to be more careful with your Essence.

Stat priority:

CHC

CHD

Physical dmg

Skeletal Mage

AS (min. 6% on weapon + 7% on one item)

CDR

Dark Reaping passive skill is essential for this build.

If you have good damage, you could swap Spreading Malediction for Commander of the Risen Dead to reduce the Essence cost of Command Skeletons.
