So how does combat flow? Do you always want to hit unearth then DD to detonate the high level corpses? So basically its a 2 button attack patern for the primary attack


Unearth -> DD a number of times
Unearth -> DD -> DD monster corpses as able for clear. Unearth as needed
Unearth -> Vaal DD -> Spam Unearth a few times to make more corpses for Vaal DD to consume to max chances for EO procs.

That's basically it.
Hey i'm a little confused on your gem link set up. You have Flammability, Arcanist Brand, Flame Surge on your Weapon 1 which is your wand but I dont see any trigger mods on those. So are you casting all of those manually? and if so, for what reason?

Arcanist brand will periodically cast all linked skills. So you cast Arcanist brand and it attaches and fires off Flammability and Flame Surge for you.

Sounds about right. The P. Unearth is always expensive though.
Can someone explain how the Desecreate + bugged spectres works? I'm about to transition to either them or Unearth + DD so trying to decide.

Guessing you just go, grab the spectre, and then it gives the corpses a chance to spawn your spectre with a higher life pool?

But if Spectre dies do you have to go back and re-get one every time?

Yeah thats only issue i'm having so far, all the really good gear seems to be super expensive, so trying to find cheaper alternatives while leveling. Pretty much have to replace every piece of my gear atm. Currently using

You only need to summon the spectre once. You can drop the gem on the floor after that. HUUUGE QOL change.

Phantasmal Unearth will scale much better with investment though. But it IS an investment.

Ah ok, havent touched Spectre's in years so will grab that tonight and make the transition in the tabula for now.

Although you want to summon the spectre with a level 20 summon spectre so that its highest possible level right? Would summoning it with minion life support boost it more or does that not trickle down into DD's calculations?

Can be a level 1 spectre gem. The corpses are scaled by Desecrate Gem level and the area level of the zone you are in when you cast desecrate.
