Pretty sure with further min maxing you could go into 10k Region.	Posted by zzang#1847 on Jan 30, 2021, 11:26:58 AM Quote this Post
I got another important update for this build new belt: Explanation: Thanks to the changes in 3.13 for the Pathfinder belt mod we dont run out of flasks at all anymore which felt a little bad before with this build when we dont got flask up time. This problem is now solved with new belt mod plus more damage with still 10k ES. Updated PoB section and Crafting section with steps how to approach the belt! Also Divergent Volatile Dead is highly recommended for the increased movement speed of the orbs.

I am a returning player, I am really a newb, and I probably should not have tried this build. Think I made a mistake. I am in ritual league, and leveled another character that I didn't like first, but thought I could use that to farm currency for this build, albeit slowly My biggest issue is that I feel kinda squishy in maps, but I still need to unlock the last lab and get Essence Glutton from Necro Ascendancy, and I think my next upgrade will be the Energy from Within jewel. I also have some mana issues when I need to use a movement skill, and I am out of mana from casting Frenzy. I am still missing 6 sockets in Shavronnes because I can't get any maps with Niko, I used all his daily missions, and need to get the recipe. I assume this affects mostly damage though. It saves me some mana/life reservation on spellslinger, which is helpful until I can get a better helm enchant. I have a stupid newbie questions, if it's ok. Why are you not taking Pain Attunement in this build, does it not work with vd/dd?	Posted by Acidian56#4799 on Jan 30, 2021, 8:02:24 PM Quote this Post
Hi Everyone. Playing a Hierohpant so far but I want to switch to this build especially for bossing. I have around 20-25 exalts. Would it be enough to start boss fighting when I'm like 80-90 level ? Important issue: How did you level your characters ? what is the optimal way ? I have most leveling items available so that's not a problem. I mean which skill setups can walk me through the acts until I'm able to equip %15 mana reserved helmet enchant and some optimal gear. Appreciate the help.

Looking into this right now! :-) EDIT: and another question: Why do you keep Frenzy at lvl11 and Barrage Support at lvl 19?

I have another stupid newbie question. Around the undertaker noteable, you went the route with 16% more spell damage and save a skill point, but from what I understand of VD, does it not skale of corpse health, would not the nodes that give the corpses you spawn 15% more health each be better for dps? Also the bandits, the the guide it says Alira, but in the PoB it says 2 passive points. Which is correct?	Posted by Acidian56#4799 on Jan 31, 2021, 6:35:57 AM Quote this Post

Awakened 2*Spellcascade will quadruple your damage check FAQ point 12.

Why are you not taking Pain Attunement in this build, does it not work with vd/dd? Basically you approached it wrong. You should have read the full guide including FAQ section first. In the FAQ its recommended to be llv 90 and have some of the core items/jewels/6 link prepared before transitioning into this build. And im taking Pain Attunement why you get the impression i dont?

Also the bandits, the the guide it says Alira, but in the PoB it says 2 passive points. Which is correct? I think you confuse one of the "bare minimum PoBs" with mine? Anyways the corpse part is the lowest part of DPS for us since most of our damage comes from the direct spell damage.
