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

Off the top of my head:
• You could try to get some cast speed somewhere
• Learn your ability durations, and try to keep an internal clock going for them (e.g only casting buffs when they’re about to expire; for example bone offering only needs one cast until it expires, or is about to expire)
• If you think your minions are doing good for survivability while bossing, you could also refrain from spamming skellies as often as one would, as it’s quite demanding with cast time
• Against bosses that don’t interact with corpses, it can help to use downtime to pre-place a hefty amount of corpses to use for later.

The build is definitely more engaging to play than the cyclone variant, and I for one am happy about this. If that doesn’t float your boat, you could always play a different build.

Nerver used Breathstealer before. Are these really worth the 50c they are going for right now? How strong / quick do those blights pop? Ty loving it so far though

One thing i've been worries to is the huge number of manual casting :
- Skellies spamming
- offering spam

And i'm not counting potion/bone armor, have you a tips to run everything on a movement heavy fight like Sirius ? especially with Offering/Desecrate/Enduring Cry ?

Its just getting use to it and getting a rotation down. Most builds are 1 button gameplays so most of the community gets lost on builds that require multiple buttons or simply dont like it because its more effort. Look at a game like world of warcraft. How do they run everything in heavy fights? because they get a rotation down and the mechanics down and know when to use what. Its all muscle memory of timings when you get comfortable.

This isnt the only zombie build. This build is very engaging and because of it, it'll do the most damage if played how its intended. If its not for you, play a more laid back zombie build. You dont *have* to skele spam, offer spam etc. You can run a zombie build with some spectres and just run around and still do everything. Thats what i did in previous leagues and it worked fine but now I play this because i want more engaging gameplay.

icant see ascendency in fork which path we get in starter builds

The comparision is off, every wow player has addons to track cooldowns and buffs making it a lot easier to know when to use what.

Forgot to add it back in, sorry ^^ pick mindless agression - unnatural strength - mistres of sacrifice (with glancing blows and bone offering done too) and finish off with bone barrier ^^

I am on the same page, I already run out of key bindings and I haven't added enduring cry yet.
Not having the cwc setup anymore makes the build a lot less smooth to play.

if you're worried about the amount of casts in the build you can try using arcanists brand for desecrate & offering. That should reduce the amount of skill spamming to some degree ^^

Sadly it seems the build is pushing up the price of breathstealers quite abit. However i feel like they're a very nice addition to the build. I'd probably look into 1000 strength before the breathstealers with the prices they're at right now.

bind bone armour to your left click, it'll activate whenever it is off cooldown.

Try out arcanists brand for desecrate / offering, especially on sirus fight ^^

Hey! Thanks for the great guide. It's going real smooth so far and feels like i'm back in 3.9! I've skipped 3.10 and am completely new to cluster jewels. I've tried finding the ones i need in trade but am failing badly at it. Could you please include a guide on how we can go about crafting the jewels we need and/or point me to one? Thanks!
