Build isn't even close to dead.

You certainly know better than me. I'm just scared about the removal of the ES Leech mastery. I'm certainly bad and maybe I'm dumb too but that seems important.

Ah yeah, it's more annoying than anything else. We do technically have spell damage from Cremation so we could take an ES leech node for a little bit.

Our recovery is pretty great without it though. Regen, ES on BLock with Aegis, and ES on hit Watcher's Eye (if you go that route) are all still there. There's also 5% ES regen if you've taken physical damage from a hit recently mastery for extra recovery as well.

overall, I think we got more than we lost.

Well I will trust you as always and give it a go. I'm a day 1 simulacrum degenerate and not sure where else to turn.

Always wanted to play a cremation build so interested in this one. I do not see a levelling section here in the original post... is it in the PoB? Just wondering how to go about levelling and generating currency to get the required items.

This is 100% not a first character of the league sort of build. You will want to league start with something else (take your pick) and either reroll or respec into this after you've picked up the required pieces.

Personally, I will be doing Fire Trap Ignite Elementalist as league starter to farm up what I want for this build.

Thanks for the warning. I usually play 1 build in a league also due to time constraints but if I like the build I do push them a bit. Would it be enough to switch over once you have the 4 "required" items (phantasmal cremation, Aegis, Ashes of the Stars and Incandescent)? Or is it advised to get more items before you switch over.

I'm thinking of starting as skellie mages (also necromancer) and then switch over when I can buy those 4 items but only if that makes sense.

Get the Unearth while you're at it. But yeah, more or less once you have that package you can fill out the rest of the gear slots fairly easily and then upgrade them from there. Don't get too hung up on the glove slot if budget is a problem. Better to have some decent ES gloves with +2 proj or +2 AOE on them than the crap base +4-5 gloves that have no ES.
