What about to add this combo? OoS+CoH+Despair+PCoC

It's good for PCoC setups, but I likely won't add the new curse to the build.

I'll explain why when I do the update notes.

Damn, I really wanted to use this build for 3.1
I hope it's still viable. I mean, the damage will be okay-great, but the AoE nerf seems heavy, and the Wither is 50% less damage taken...
I think we may need the Despair, maybe as a Blasphemy aura instead of Haste/Clarity?

Really interested in your update notes.

The new unique viridian jewel is great for this build, if there's no significant nerf on DP, this will be op in Abyss....geat build, will definitely roll it next league.

Well, you always have to compare the stats to a rare jewel.

At the very least, it's going to be a good budget/leveling jewel. Not sure if it's worth getting the Witch nodes for it, but the other bonuses are pretty nice.

yeah that's true, this jewel will be most fitted for stat stacking builds i think. As for the build, i guess these are guaranteed nerfs...i'm just a bit worried if they ever touch Added Chaos damage supp..lol

im waiting for update of your giude too. wanna start new league by this one

as i know - DP now dead (in new patch).

Do you know if DP totem is hit by the nerf? And do you think the build is kill?

What is the best way to level this with no gear, like the start of the season?

I'll do an update soon. Selfcast DP is dead, but this build is mostly fine. The only noticable change should be the AoE:

It's all in the guide, basically you level with rare gear and only get the uniques if you can afford them to help with your damage. They're not required.

So Dark Pact Totems got a buff with the minion tag addition + more minion life support?

Not this build but some others might. Minion damage doesn't affect you unless you use The Scourge and minion life only does something if you support the skeletons.

It's possible that you can now use Minion Damage Support if you also use The Scourge, but don't take my word for it.
