[3.6] CoCPact - CoC Dark Pact Assassin - 35 casts/s - 5M Shaper DPS

Ive been looking for a way to automate dark pact skeletons forever! So happy i found your guide :D a few questions:

- Have you considered asenath's chant? Its a bit random, only 25% chance to trigger but with enough attack speed it could be a good way to summon skeletons, leaving you with a pure 6l dark pact
- I cant see your tree bevause im on mobile, but do you use minion damage and minion attack speed also affects you? I feel it would be a great way to get tons of attack speed and generic damage
- what quiver do you use? is soul strike a good idea?
- Have you considered other ascendancies? I feel necromancer would be great with all the minion damage and attack speed with flesh offering, or maybe occultist for the -20% chaos res and explosions... I'd like to try witch but im scared I wont have enough crit

Hello.

1. Yes, I have tried it but the 25% chance to summon skeletons is simply not fast enough, even Kitava's Thirst will not be enough. When mapping, if you dont have skeletons up and you are not in melee range of pack, you will simply die (and that can happen with Asenath's Chant). With having the skellies socketed in main CoC setup while mapping its easily avoidable like that
2. Yeah, I use both Spiritual Aid and Spiritual Command
3. Just rare quiver with some life, I am not CI so soul strike is not very helpful (alternatively Maloney's Mechanism is very good with curse on crit setup to free some mana reservation)
4. Other ascendancies are not very viable for cast on crit builds, I tried, but it will simply not work sadly

I was tinkering with the build a bit again and I found out that I actually do not need extra power charges at all with few adjustments. So i dropped most of power charge nodes, slightly adjusted the bow for multi-craft, added 1 more jewel socket, changed amulet to Hyrri's Truth, dropped Herald of Ash and the result is:

- More life
- More damage
- More defense

I got up to almost 6.4k life and 8.3M DPS while losing basically nothing (well, we have less strength now, so some levels on warlords and dread banner, but that is meh).
Overall everything is basically better. Here is updated PoB:

I will also be fully reworking the guide probably tomorrow (some cleanup, some parts are outdated etc).

I'm thinking about rolling a dark pact character as my next legion character. Any thoughts on how this would work in 3.7? Obvious warlord's mark would have to be dropped for something else, but the tree looks pretty much the same.

I've been wanting to play CoC, have a weakness for bow casters, and have used your other builds while mucking around with poison so I'm over here drooling :D
