Thank you again for the feature! Still completely hyped and humbled that you chose it.

was thinking to make this build as a lowlife build.
any recommandations for passive tree's?

main reason for low life would be to run MF with it in higher maps.
i know i did that a few years ago as SRS before the nerf to it and ES.

Hello! Thank you so much for the buildguide! I'm finally in mapping, but I can't wrap my head around the gem/skill set up.

Till now i attacked with hatred aura and zombie x5 frontline, stormbranding/shieldcharging the monsters and SRS.
in your videos i see you casting desecrated x3 and flesh offering and I understand that gives us mucho speed, but why do we need stormbrand and Orb of Storms while i never see you cast it? (as noted in End-Game Gem setup).
And how long does the flesh offering buff hold and when do I need to recast it?

Maybe I it was explained, but I couldn't find it so I tought: "lets ask :)"

The video is outdated and uses a setup we no longer use. I am trying to find the time to make a new one.

When you craft the mace with 'Triggers a Socketed Spell on Use' as outlined in the crafting section; storm brand, flesh offering and desecrate will all be cast for you no matter what you are doing, be it shield charging or casting SRS. You'll have 100% uptime on all of them as long as you're moving and casting.

OOS is a plant for bosses for a free 10% Cull. You drop it off and then go back to dodging around towards the end of a boss' life.

Storm Brand doesn't exist on the video because the video was made before Storm Brand existed and OOS was often clunky for mapping.

If you don't have the mace crafted yet, it should be a priority. It brings a huge quality of life to the build.

If it is out of your budget at the moment, then making sure your buff bars are enabled will allow you to see when Flesh Offering is or isn't active for you. Between the buff icon and the visual for Flesh Offering (Red-Black "smoke" billowing from your character) you should be able to gauge uptime from that. You stack your desecrates for more uptime on Flesh Offering. The buff is not made stronger by # of corpses, just how long it lasts.

Hope this helps.

Well now i feel stupid... i forgot that OoS is a new skill and that the build has been adjusted since those video's -_-"

Thanks for the great tip of the 'trigger socketed spell' craft! I may have, supposedly, a little overread that part where the whole buff makes my pretty minions super strong without having to use 3 skils every 10 seconds. Yeah... that one's on me...

It runs B-E-A-utiful now! The satisfaction of seeing melted coprses and bloodsplashes of the constant flesh offering is very satisfing ^_^.

My castspeed is a little low for my taste, so I have kept my zombie meat shields in stead of the OoS for now, but will level OoS in my offhand. The zombies now should also provide culling strike when meeting bosses, but I'll check how that goes.

Thanks so much for the help! Super nice build!

You can if you want to, but the build is usually able to utilize pretty high cast speed.

Brittleknee's version is quite different now and offers more life, but here is my suggestion anyway https://pastebin.com/YxDwk09L. I changed the gloves, some flasks, some gems, and the tree (that changed resistances, so I had to re-craft a ring).
