Best Relic for Necromancer Skeletons

[asidk9thorn]

I am currently running a Bleed / Vitality Ritualist and have been using the Deathchill Relic with my Skeletons and I have now reached level 62.

As of right now they are doing well in survivability, but I am not sure for how long.

I have the Twin Fangs devotion assigned to my skeletons with Heart of the Wild at level 10 and Wendigo Totem skill at level 14 and working on maxing Blood Pact currently at level 8.

I am considering using the Citadel Relic which I currently have available to increase my skeletons’ survivability. P.S. My Ritualist is a tank so using Citadel will help me.

So, is it worth sacrificing the DPS that comes from Deathchill which translates to increased ADCtH? Or will Citadel’s 8% DA, 33% Bleed Duration Reduction, and 4300 Internal Trauma Retaliation damage better serve my Ritualist for the dangers ahead. Also, if you happen to know, does the 25% Shield Damage Blocked help any of my pets?

I have tried both Deathchill and Citadel Relics, they both seem equally effective for my build.

Seeing that I don’t have any gear planned for this character I can only give you a rough estimate of what I am aiming for with this build without gear. https://www.grimtools.com/calc/8NKdvAE2

These are the two relics I have available now, what are your opinions on which relic is best to use? Do you have any suggestions on a relic I should seek out and use in the future?

Please no comments how important it is to have my resistances maxed. Why I should devote all my efforts to buffing my pets not myself. Or how I should be putting all my attribute points in Physique. I already know about this. Please try to stay close to Relic’s for this topic.

I strongly agree with you Faust but I just don't have these blue prints yet. Hopefully I will find them as I advance further into the game. Also any suggestions for a level 60 player?

Thank you for your reply!

level 60 huh, i think you need more farming in malmouth you can buy yellow and green relic recipe from steel cap district, your skeleton pet will be easily died because lack of resistance, kinda hard to keep up, so just seach Korvaak's Burning-Blade[grimtools.com] it make you easly re-summon the skeleton.
