[3.14] VolaBomber | CwC - Volatile Dead Necromancer | All Content

Mh, I am not sure if I am not messing something up in my PoB.

It seems I have less damage with my crafted staff than with the desintegrator, although, sunjectively, it feels like more damage.

In the desintegrator I of course run CwC instad of Hypothermia, and I run Assassin's Mark for Power Charges. In my crafted setup I replaced assassin's with flammability.

Here are the two weapons:

Don't be afraid to use lvl 20 clarity until you fix mana issues.

Clarity Watcher's eye cost a lot now, but you can craft similar modifier on jewelry. Here are some examples:

And don't forget that enduring mana flask is our best friend :3

The mana issue is acceptable now, put some points here and there for plus mana. The next step probably would be replace my staff which is quite useless damage wise, altough the bonus mana + regen is good, and findig a better armor after that cause I don't feel my self quite safe in red maps, in fact I die a lot and surely that 25% spell damage not helping at all.

Builds been feeling kind of slugish compared to last league and I noticed that I am not getting any attack speed increases from corpse pact. Are you guys experiencing this as well?

you didn't allocate your ascendancy point into corpse pact.
Also, the mobs got resistance boost+massive hp boost compared to last league, so you might feel underwhelmed with only 5 link atm.

Damage is fine, I was mostly meaning proc speed.

Loving the build for clearing maps, but I'm getting oneshot every now and then by bosses. I'm not sure what I should focus on to improve my toughness. My resists are maxed, have 5.4k health. Even with fortify up I sometimes get blown up by metamorph bosses in maps.

This is around tier 12-14 maps.


Also how important are the circle of anguishes? They're almost 4ex right now, not sure if I should focus on my other gear before that.

5.4k life isn't really all that much especially how the current state of the game is. I'm sitting at 13k ehp and some of the new content still really hurts.
You're gonna want to aim for about 7-8k ehp. Our main source of regen comes from the corpses so make sure you're getting the most out of consuming them.
Circle of Anguish is only if you want to have more auras. For instance with both my rings and some passives I'm down to 5% mana reserve for Herald of Ash. Let's me use Discipline, Clarity, HoA and Zealotry. In my opinion they're totally worth it.

My thinking was that the circle of anguish frees up our mana pool so it can cushion large hits via Mind Over Matter.

Current health is 5.6k, ES is 2.4 with MOM.

So I was thinking if i free up 400 ish mana via the circles of anguish it'll up my EHP? Discpline might be a better idea though like you said.

I use Disciline instead of Zealotry this league. At least until I can afford Circle of Anguish.

Armours like one below can help you survive. As I said damage is not a problem for us. We are squishy so focus on surviving.



Try:
- MoM with enduring mana flask and high level Clarity.
- Annointed Hardened scars + Foreboding Hybrid flask.
- Armour with huge amount of ES and HP or HP converted to ES.

is there a difference between your build and this build?:

I designed my build in 3.6, played it in 3.7 as Chieftain and in 3.8 as Necromancer. Last time I saw Gryph's build he played selfcast Volatile Dead. Now I see that he switched to CwC and there are probably some similarities.

My original guide have been posted september 1st. Nothing actually changed since then. And I don't know either he used some of my ideas or not. I spended almost 6 months to test and balance all the things and make all my setups work properly.

So you ask about differences. I don't really care about differences. It's my build. I was having fun with it so many months and wanted to share it with community. And I don't have much time to investigate either Gryph wrote different build guide or not. Sorry
