5th passive skill on Hellfire amulet - Fueled by Death


GR 60 speed build (2 - 3 min.)

My favorite build for GR60, but there is also a fast corpse explosion build that I will try to cover in some of the future videos.


  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. You could use Cannibalize Rune and use the Num Lock, but make sure that you don’t hold Force Move while moving!!!

Rings like Unity (for solo) or Lornelle's Sunstone (for group) are necessary for survivability.

You will be healing with Health Globes from Life from Death passive skill, so you don’t have to use Molten Wildebeest's Gizzard Legendary Gem. Now you can use Bane of the Powerful Legendary Gem for more damage.


  • 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 (ideally the Witching Hour belt) and Tasker and Theo gloves in the Cube.

10% Attack Speed from Paragaon points is also needed.

To run this in GR 70, you will have to use some defensive Legendary Gem or use a Decrepify skill + a Dayntee's Binding belt instead of a Frailty skill and a Witching Hour belt.
