That's very solid looking setup!

Defenses look excellent and you have fresh take on the skill setup. Looks like it could work well in HC thanks to added layers of protecions. Very well balanced set of damage, defense and utility.

Thank you! ^^

However when clearing they are very weak. They run off-screen and tend to take on single enemies. Trash mobs can have just enough Fire res that increased damage from shock doesn't speed up clearing much, but lowering the defenses to 0% or lower with Ele Weakness makes mobs die in 1-shot. Even Skitter Bots + Aspect of Spider don't match the clear-speed that EW on Blashpemy provides.

Completely agree with you. As i said, i was aiming at the end game boss farming, where curses are not effective. Now i regret my choises because buffed T16 maps clear speed is annoying.
You made me think... i might actually ditch skitterbots with spider aspect, and take blasphemy with ele weakness and flamability + enlighten. Just need to respec 3 passive points or get +1 curse corruption.

So, here is MF(ish) variant with 2 curses:

Clear speed vs mobs improved greatly! I am 6.3K ES now, with 37% IIQ. EHP is not so great, but defence layers and some kiting helps to survive farming juiced up T16.

League Thoughts

I really enjoyed the league as a whole, and hope it comes back as a core mechanic. Oil is just kind of power creep, but I enjoyed being able to save so many passives by having them.

Blighted maps are very fun and I hope they keep them. I did 100 and only lost money on a few, it was almost always a profit to do them, and not a small profit either.

Blight in maps I still had fun with, but the rewards for the time spent were underwhelming. Maybe either make the rewards a bit better, or the encounters a little faster.

Challenges aside from a few were pretty OK this league.

Build

I mean, what can I say, I've played the build for many leagues so I obviously enjoy it, Mika put a lot of work into making an easy to follow guide for a great build.

I did switch a few things up this time. I used Feeding Frenzy, and really enjoyed the buff it offered. I had it linked to my zombies.

I used Flame Dash instead of Phase Run this league. This was both good and bad. I think I enjoy Phase Run as a whole more, and it is amazing for delve, but Flame Dash was so nice for transitioning from low to high ground, and just going through fenced/gated areas like Shrine map. I don't know which one I'll pick next league I play. I think Phase Run prob still best for build, but I did enjoy the freedom Flame Dash offered.

Elemental resistances capping was a joke this league. So nice! Even Chaos res capping was easy, had 75% all league till I changed my boots to some speedy quick bois.

I really enjoyed using Essence Glutton as an ascendancy point. I did however change it to Mistress of Sacrifice after I was finished leveling for the league. I only changed it because I wanted more movement speed. I had my 35% MS boots, and was lucky enough to have an Unnatural Instinct drop(first time ever) for 9% more MS, so I wanted as much as I could get. You can see I made it to 135%

Bone Barrier saved me many times, and is a very welcomed active skill to Necro.

The +2 gems ascendancy point was boring but very nice, I could feel the difference in power with that and my +2 chest.

I still miss using Profane Bloom leagues later. RIP Occultist, you were in my opinion the best version of this build, but they gutted you.

Overall the build is amazing as always. I'm a little scared they are gonna Nerf the poop out of it(Necro and minions in general) next league, but only time will tell.

Thanks for the great league and guild boys, I'll still be lurking around getting some master favor and trying to farm the Celestial hideout. With us moving from CA to WY in about a month my wife is gonna love that I'm finished with the league though :P

Hi,

How superior Bone offering is compared to Spirit offering?

I am new to the game and not really understand the blocking mechanic. Spirit offering showed me the energy shield "healing" effect which makes me want to use it more.

Is it okay if I would like to use spirit offering for defence? If yes, do I need to change any thing if I already followed the necromancer + shield blocking version of mika2salo.

Many thanks.

Hey there,

I played a Golemancer (Elementalist) a few leagues ago and want to give it a shoot now again, but I've two questions:

1. Which Ascendancy can you suggest to a "lazy" player?
2. Could Elementalist work in SSF (without PoH and Shavs) or is Necro better for SSF?

Pledge is maybe even more relaxed as your immune to almost all status effects, so you don't even need to press flasks that often.

I'm not sure about the time point they stopped working. A few days back I finished uberlab...
