[3.11]QUEEN OF NECROMANCY - STRONGEST ZOMBIES EVER? 55M+ DPS 7K+ LIFE MAX BLOCK 90% CHAOS RES

I just did 1400 solo delve, gonna stop here is no point to push more since no one is pushing on witch solo delve.

My tree and items are not the same as in guide but the core of the build came from here.

Many thx to Qlida for the build and to Doc for helping me with some advices.

To all who want to try deep delve, build is working great but after 1000 you need to tweak some stuff, after 1200.... good luck:).

P.S. Don't use HH is not needed, i tested with pride corruption and is even worse with HH instead of Stygian Wise.

Regarding chaos resist is no point to try and cap chaos you will die anyway from zombies on fungal after 1000. One watcher with purity of elements chaos resist is more then enough.

Is the radius on Pride as tiny as this video depicts the range?

A lvl 26/23 Pride has ~19 radius which is kinda reasonable, but still not really... I ask cause i just spent 3.5 ex on a lvl 21/23 Pride XD

How much damage increase is Awakened Minion Damage over normal one?

The damage you get over normal minion damage gem isn't alot, furthermore i wouldn't even want to use it unless you swap it for feeding frenzy / meatshield on bosses for a burst. Otherwise you can get better with awakened melee phys, scaling impale etc.

While cold version is stronger than both.

I still haven't seen a cold build with the same DPS than cold, even with the hatred redeemer buff on weapon.

The radius is quite tiny indeed, thats why we really like the cyclone setup, since it allows you to be on top of enemies while being your strongest ^^

Okay...I think I'm done with Amulet crafting for this league. Topping this one will be very hard. Almost mirror tier I'd say. Almost.

2100 STR without Alberons or Greatwolf.

That amulet is straight up insane, grats on the craft dude!

It does about double the Impale DPS and you don't need anytihng fancy like aforementioned mod for that. You should try PoB'ing it. Having green sockets is super annoying though.

Could you post a side by side comparison? In the past the only way I could justify cold was a 3G1R Triad Grip because it allowed Hatred to be linked to Generosity, and we simply don’t have enough green gems to otherwise use it. People would throw Portal into that 4th gem socket due to no better use, and Generosity would net better dps. I also want to make sure you are actually calculating Impale in PoB, because it gives you upwards of 80-90% more physical damage, and PoB completely ignore this.

I’m not sure I’d give up ST even if I could double my dps...

You should use LocalIdentity's PoB fork. It accounts for Impale and many other things.

PoB using OP's character. https://pastebin.com/qwbU6KS8 with all the tweaks. That will work with LocalIdentity's fork.

Most important things are Elemental Equilibrium, Generosity Hatred, Skitterbots with Bonechill (they also shock), two curses and Frostbomb.

It's 1 mil with his Impale setup vs 1.5 mil with cold setup (it's even higher in reality, because Bonechill is not calculated and it's another 15-20% increasd damage taken or something) but I don't think it's worth it over normal setup. 4 or even 3 green is too much of a pain to deal with and we lose a lot of ES from Shaper's gloves and you probably won't even notice much of a difference at this point. Also a lot of things you should manually put up - EE, curses, Frostbomb.

Setup in PoB is not something you can just isntantly use I just added all the things you need and turned off things you won't need anymore, like I added 3 points for Elemental Equilbrium and for Whispers of Doom without correcting the tree, pointing it out just in case. Tell me if I missed something.

To switch for Impale Zombies just turn of all Cold groups of skills and turn on Impale, also untick shock and tick Banner related stuff.

For green gems you can use Vaal Haste / Vaal Grace and Phase Run (or even level 2 extra gems here if u can fit everything else). My setup uses GGGR. GGGG is 100k extra DPS.
