[3.14] Gryph's Thirsty Archmage Cremation Necromancer

Wondering where my next upgrades should be; damage overall is great but I feel like my boss damage is currently a little lacking. (T8-11, 7 watchstones total)

Right now focusing on getting trigger craft unlocked, and praying to RNGesus on a cluster jewel I have in my stash to roll the right notables.

Edit: Removing Clarity for a Clear Mind jewel; moved chaos golem to sceptre and put bone on helmet

why use blade blast if there is nothing to explode?

Bladeblast doesn't require any remaining blades to work - it's used to debuff enemies with the "Unnerve" which increases our damage to them.

Running this build as ascendant atm. It's a fun skill but definitely have to get used to 2 button spam again! How's it going in rituals? Sometimes I just get overwhelmed too easily in rituals even on white maps..

If I had to guess it's because you have like no block. One of the big advantages to running Necro is the ability to use Bone Offering to bolster block chance and give life on block. Block is especially effective in content with high mob density such as Simulacrums or, well, Ritual. You're getting overwhelmed because you have no real mitigation to many small hits.

Thanks great explanation. I've got glancing blows and will pick up some block nodes. I'll run necro too for bone offering ^^

Running a crit version too!

If I cant get that cluster jewel, or whilst im waiting for it where else would you spend your skill points? I know you've said before MANA. Mana is king. But what about the Undertaker wheel to the right of start that gives corpses life and increased dmg when you consume a corpse?

Hi, thanks for the build, i have some questions:

1) Why blade blast? Seems like it doesn't trigger where i point with my cursor but it cast where is my char is, probably im missing something.

2) Anyone know how i can craft a good gear using harvest and/or transmute-alt-regal ecc? I kinda wanna try to do something.

3) i found out about algor mortis, is the gloves good? I use it with the trigger on the helm for now

Other than that i love this build, im on t11-14 and farm them easily.
Thanks so much.

Hello all! Having a fun time with this build, only issue I am running into is it feels like my damage numbers are very low, pob has my average hit at only 40k instead of 200k +. That could be user error on my part. Does anyone have any recommendations for upgrades? For example a 81 zone level Veritania took about 2 minutes and 3 deaths to kill which doesn't feel right. Thank you for your help!

At a glance I'd say the most likely culprit is Intensity stacks.

When you place them pre-fight make sure to cast 5 geysers to get max intensity on all of your geysers.

If that's still pretty troublesome try dropping Pinpoint+Intensify for Controlled Destruction and Lightning Penetration and see if that helps.

Blade Blast unnerves, also it'll auto target enemies when you are in combat. Otherwise it'll cast at your feet (in hideout for example)

Algor Mortis are...fine? I'd rather have the life+mana from a pair of rare gloves though. Certainly a reasonably DPS option though. Can use Cold Snap or Creeping Frost for them. I remember using that at the beginning stages of build development but I dropped them eventually. I do not recall the exact reason though.

Hi, quick Question:

Between the PoB and the Jewels section is a big difference ( for example Disciple of Kitave) or another small cluster as well as some other Jewels that are rare ones in the PoB.

Which setting is the correct one?

AH that's why i wasn't sure about blade blast because it was cast on my feet, and it wasn't right looking at it in my hideout, but thanks.


And ok if i find a good pair of gloves i think about switching, thanks again
