I feel like I'm missing something here but wouldn't the Command SkeletonsKill Command reset the Bone Ringer stacks? Also further delaying the stack overall by sacrificing them and waiting for them to spawn?

why did you pick physical % upgrade instead of poison %. i thought you turned this build into poison build with the runes you chose?

The physical is for Thorns damage which will always be physical no matter what you do but honestly I don't really get why the build is mixing both thorns and single target for a group setting? 

If it's for group, wouldn't 100% single-target poison be better? Why would thorns be in there at all if you are playing with a group and your main focus would be griftkilling?

Feels very odd to me.

While the text correctly states that weapon damage should be rolled off, the table of stats shows high weapon damage as first priority

Damage should only be rolled off in solo GR pushing, this is for the group variant where you single target dps. Or am I missing something?

Looking at the gear list i see that Swamp Land Waders is the choice for the pants is there a better option that can be used that would be for fill

The differences between this group build (Necromancer Command Skeletons Group Build With LoN Set) and the solo build (Necromancer Command Skeletons Solo Build With LoN Set) are very minimal: why are they not "merged" in a single one with a solo and a group variation (as it happens for many build on this website)?

It's a RG killer spec, for the sole purpose to take down high health Guardians (And maybe elites) that do AOE damage with the combined power of thorns damage coming from your skeletons. Until it spawns, your main purpose is to support your teammates with curses and stuff.

The Headline of this Guide is quite weird, it should be contain the Name "Thorns".

Because, there is another build wich contains also skeletons, but no Thorns.

So in my opinon the headline of this guide should be named like:

Thorn Command Skeletons Group Build with Legacy of Nightmares Set

or

Command Thorn Skeletons Group Build with Legacy of Nightmares Set

or

Command Skeletons Thorn Group Build with Legacy of Nightmares Set

 

cheers

If you only have 1 support then this build is not good for you. This build is meant for meta where you have 2 supports and 2 dps.

Just having 1 monk support is not making anyone survive much longer while moving around, the monks job is to keep the chunk of trash in one place while the trash-killer deals damage. The Barb support helps a lot more with survivability during the moving around bits.

The other thing you can do yourself is to figure out what you are mostly dying to and if it's elemental affixes, try Esoteric, if you get oneshotted by spears, try Wildebeest with Draw Life passive etc. You shouldn't view guides as 100% for you, there is always some adjustments to be made unless you are a 4man 100% meta setup.
