[3.23] Raskoril's Impale Dancing Dervish Necro

I wasn't sure if the build would be viable after the fiasco that was last league, but after killing a handful of uber bosses and doing all 40 challenges solo I can safely say the build is currently stronger than ever. Enjoy the update, and feel free to ask any questions!

What do you think about Aura Stacking on Champion and using HoP??

This build is pure summoner and we have no offensive spells or attacks. HoP is more suitable for either melee builds or Absolution. HoP can still be great for leveling if you decide to level with Absolution though!

I have added a video trying to simulate my experience with red maps on the first day of league for those curious about what it's like to league start this. I can tell you for sure we normally have higher level gems and maybe a few more character levels than this, but everything else should be similar! I generally reach this point around 12-15 hours in the league.

For those interested in the leveling process I will be streaming the Mayhem event today at twitch.tv/raskoril

Updated for 3.20. Small nerfs, a significant buff, and overall a good patch. The league mechanic also looks especially easy for the Dervish. Can't wait for next week!

Thank you!!

Hello
I have a small question, if the weapon deactivates when the dervishes appear, are the gem supports still active?.
I tried with a bonechill and hypotermia support and I don't see any trace of chil or freeze on the mobs. It's quite difficult to see the interaction of the dervishes IG or on the POB.

thank you

This is a purely physical build, so if you're using Bonechill and Hypothermia with Brutality it will deal no cold damage, and as such will not chill. If you really want to use cold damage I'd recommend swapping out Brutality for Pulverise support. There are cold conversion Dervish builds available, and this one could be changed to cold with minimal effort (Hatred instead of Pride, Triad Grip, etc).

Let me know if this isn't the issue.

thanks for the answer but I had removed brutality.
In fact I don't want to pollute the post but I play with hollow palm and since I can't find my answer, I came across your post 3.20.
I've never played dervish and I'm going to use it as a support for my cyclone hollow palm.
I don't know if it changes anything but I have a lot of trouble seeing the cold effects generated by the dervishes.
As you seem to be familiar with the dervish, I was wondering if he applied freeze and chill to slow down bosses / mobs.

I use maim/blind/flee and I try to freeze mobs
