[3.8][NEC] Necromantic Poetess - Volatile Dead Poet's Pens goes lazy

Class/Ascendancy: Witch Necromancer
Reason: Synergises extremely well with the fact that we create and consume corpses 24/7

Ehp pool: Hybrid
Reason: We get a bunch of life and then gain a lot of it as extra max es (via the Vaal Keystone Corrupted Soul and Spirit Offering)

Bandits: Kill All
Reason: We don't go crit

with this build i wanted to have a lot of buffs, but also to not cast them directly, because i'm super lazy.

this is what i was able to achieve.

first of all, the two Watcher's Eye make a lot of work, because they automate completely the corspe generation (Desecrate) and consumption (Volatile Dead and Cremation which is linked to Combustion, so everytime we ignite with it we debuff the fire res of the mobs).

this corspe generation/consumption cycle grants a bunch of stuff via the Necromancer ascendancy: increased damage, increased aoe, increased attack speed, es and mana regen, reduced damage taken and makes the enemies chilled and shocked.

attackingFrenzy grant us Frenzy Charges (increased attack speed and more damage) and it's linked with Culling Strike (which is nice).

with around 10-11% crit chance with every skill it's easy to have 100% uptime with Elemental Overload.

with the CwDT setup we debuff mobs (Wave of Conviction and Flammability) and gain a lot of es (Spirit Offering)

Summon Lightning Golem socketed into Malachai's Artifice will proc Elemental Equilibrium for us.
although this negate the possibility to use Anger (because it will make the golem do also fire damage), we can still use Zealotry and gain Arcane Surge with it automatically (via the Watcher's Eye Gain Arcane Surge for 4 seconds when you create Consecrated Ground while affected by Zealotry mod).

we still have to activate flasks and Vaal Righteous Fire though :P

after a little bit of testing i settled on a rotation involving desecrate, Volatile Dead and Cremation.
you NEED a Desecrate Spawns 2-3 additional corpses enchantment on your helmet to make this work.
the weaker version (2 add corpses) it's good enough, and this is why:

Attack #1: Desecrate spawns 7 corpses (5+2 from the enchant) [7 corpses remaining]
Attack #2: Volatile Dead consume 3 corpses [4 corpses remaining]
Attack #3: Cremation consume 1 corpse [3 corpses remaining]
Attack #4: Volatile Dead consume 3 corpses [0 corpses remaining]

after the fourth attack the sequence loops back

Note: you need at least 67 Str and 17 Dex on your Gear

First Poet's Pen
Desecrate + Cremation + Combustion

Second Poet's Pen
Volatile Dead + Conc Effect + Elemental Focus

Gloves
Frenzy (1/20) + Culling Strike (1/20) + GMP (1/20) + Faster Attacks (20/20)
we want as much ias as possible, not damage, so the level of this gems can be leaved at 1 (except for Faster Attacks).
quality in all of those gems is very important.

Cast when Damage Taken setup (4L)
CwDT (1) + Spirit Offering (8) + Wave of Conviction (7) + Flammability (5)

Malachai's Artifice
Summon Lightning Golem

Non linked skills
Flame Dash
Herald of Ash
Zealotry
Vaal Righteous Fire
Precision (1)
if you don't have an unset ring you'll need to drop one of these skill (probably Precision cause is pretty much useless if you don't have a Watcher's Eye with the #% increased Attack Speed while affected by Precision mod)

note that i've got Aligned Spirits allocated because my Glorious Vanity corrupted it in a notable that grants me +1 max cold res.
before i had Fusillade

quality isn't the best, sorry :/
