I'm wondering the same question as above. Contemplating a +3 corpses to desecrate helm enchant since I just got an Awakened Spell Cascade... trying to decide if it's worth it.

Any feedback from someone who knows better would be appreciated :)

BTW - I have no sockets left for an Unearth setup.

+3 desecrate enchant doesn't increase the MAXIMUM corpse limit. Only means desecrate spawns 8 per circle instead of 5. Still 10 max. Alas.

Awakened Spell Cascade is almost always a DPS boost just because it will overlap with the desecrate corpses produced more effectively which results in more Orbs per trigger. Additionally if you can make room for Unearth+GMP it's exponentially better.

Things to consider for make room for Unearth:

Culling Strike(support gem) and Unnerve(Blade blast on cwdt) can both be acquired via a medium curse cluster jewel with Wish for Death and Master of Fear.

If you are using a curse on CWDT, consider a curse on hit RING or Gloves (corruption) to save a socket.

Hey Gryphen, i just picked up a medium curse gem with the suggested effects and also swapped out my curses on the gloves for unearth and GMP. holy shit big difference for my single target kills especially. was able to down some bosses i couldn't previously.

I wanted to ask tho. What is the the best Large Cluster Jewel you suggest? Is Three Voices worth it - pros/cons? I can afford it atm (5 worthless passives ones for about 25ex~, got a lucky mirror drop early on but wanting to know if it's even worth -- I think it's the only thing at this time that i don't have 100% certainty that i have the best option. In your vid, you had showed on for 3.10 i happened to snag it, i have one with mage hunter, practiced caster, thaumophage + 2 jewel sockets, one leading to kitava and the other to the cluster chain. I was wondering if i should get rid of this thaumophage, etc cause i have the Watcher's eye with the +30 es on hit. So i feel like my energy shield is fine and i could possibly benefit using another..but i really don't know my best options here.

Please help if you have time?

mmm let's see. I like one with Sadist (60% increased damage)

Doryani's Lesson (life leech yay!)

And for a second prefix...

prismatic heart for the resists if you need it. You can also choose to not take it as I believe it appears at the back of the cluster (2 points)

And yeah you can FOR SURE use a voices jewel. That would be BiS for this build.

So i picked up a cluster with these, and i did notice that sadist has the 60% damage, but only 20% for ignited while the additional damage is only for chilled or shocked enemies(which i don't think we do?) - but i'm quite certain we don't. Please advise if sadist is still the best option or if there is a better alternative.

Also, i wanted to ask.. In terms of Voices, i feel like the 5 passives are nothing is like.. the lowest tier that is usable or worth having.. however, I wanted to know, when and if i make that change, are there any other jewel cluster mods you'd recommend? Here's a list of the ones i use currently.
