The Bones of Rathma set focuses on resetting the massive Army of the Dead cooldown via minion attacks, particularly coming from permanent summons. The set focuses on a tight synergy with Army of the Dead-centric legendary items such as Fate's Vow, Bonds of C'Lena and the Jesseth Arms set, Jesseth Skullshield and Jesseth Skullscythe.

• 2-piece bonus
  • Your minions have a chance to reduce the cooldown of Army of the Dead by 1 second each time they deal damage.
• 4-piece bonus
  • You gain 1% damage reduction for 15 seconds each time one of your minions deal damage. Max 50 stacks.
• 6-piece bonus
  • Each active Skeletal Mage increases the damage of your minions and Army of the Dead by 1000% up to a max of 4000%.

The 2-piece set bonus of Rathma makes your skeletal warriors (meaning Command Skeletons) spawn faster, and makes your Revive minions no longer expire. It also lowers the cooldown of Army of the Dead as your permanent minions deal damage, making you rely on the aforementioned summon skills (and avoid the overused Skeletal Mages).

The 4-piece set bonus makes it so that your minions no longer take damage (and therefore removing the consideration of Enforcer in the build for the pet toughness bonus), and scales your damage reduction as your minions deal damage, capping out at 75% DR.

The 6-piece set bonus increases the damage of your Army of the Dead nuke for each active permanent minion.
