[3.10] Gryph's Volatile Dead Necromancer || Fun, Medium Budget, Tanky, Millions of DPS

@Gryphenprey

Thanks, I've been planning to do that.

Also, just a note; I've been experimenting to do the build without Doedre's Malevolence, but wasn't able to find a skill with enough mana cost to proc the Desecrate-CWDT setup, but I think it would be possible with a 6L, as I only have a 5L at the moment.
Maybe with Cyclone - VD - CWC - Poacher's Mark - Conductivity - Flammability.
Just a thought as it might help with survive-ability during leveling.

Is there no benefit to using spell cascade in this setup? Messing around with my own version of CWC VD and was wondering what the benefits were of using martyr over crafted shaper staff

Spell Cascade requires more corpse generation and makes us lose links. It's also not even much of a DPS gain in the end. Also VD 60 ball limit makes Spell Cascade feel even worse.

And performance issues....aaand yeah just don't :P

Shaper Staves can be better than Martyr, it just takes a lot to make it so. Martyr is cheap, powerful, and has tons of extra block (most people use Eclipse staves). Also, the worse the rest of your gear is, the better Martyr is compared to a shaped CWC staff. I will be upgrading to one eventually as a VERY good staff will net me about 30% more damage than Martyr.

Hey. Loving this build, but struggling a bit with survivability. Got any suggestions for further upgrades?

This is my current gear:

if i use unearth with GMP and greatter volley for more corpse, is using spell cascade on VF setup better? (as i summon 6 balls instead of 3 balls)

is it me or the cheapest 6L ES armor wiht increase offering effect% on it is 9exalt at the moment....

Better to buy a 6L base for 6ex and craft it yourself.

It's technically more damage but you're PC will suffer. Also VD balls cap at 60 which is not much when you're making so many at a time. Losing the sockets is also an issue as we are very socket starved.

Aaand consuming so many more corpses will boost APS by a lot and cause issues with mana sustain.

and again, FPS death! haha.

I mean, you can do it. It would bring my current damage volley from 1.6M per trigger to 1.9M per trigger, but more spread out. So about a 20% boost in DPS, but it's just not worth the performance loss IMO.

I like to reiterate that these are my personal feelings on it. Performance loss and mana issues combined with socket starvation is just not worth it to me. if you like it, do it up. I do not recommend.

Get a belt with no corruption/useful one at least. That's 40 life right there that'll only cost you a few chaos. Beyond that, get more chaos res. Upgrade Arakaali and Shakari pantheons too, these help immensely vs chaos damage... That's usually what kills people, especially this league.

Aside from that, more EHP and kite more vs dangerous things.

and uhhhh get a level 21 CWDT to go with your level 21 Bone+Flesh offerings. Right now you're not proccing them. hahaha

Hey, just finished equipping the build for maps but I'm confused. In all of the videos you sustain the scolds damage perfectly fine without really dropping your ES much. I can't do that, I will eventually kill myself without leech. Did I miss something important?

@Gryph

what do u think about the timeless jewel, that gives "glancing blows" (double blockchance fpr attacks and spells, but u take 50% dmg from blocks) for non leash of obliteration users? Since we have a lot of fast recovery, we can probably make use of it.

currently testing it. went from 42/21 blockchance to 75/42.

Hey Gryph,
Im checking your lvl 94 pob and comparing it to mine. Our increased/more damage values are very close but im still coming up with around 80k average dmg less than you on volatile dead(oh and thats after disabling bottled faith etc, and setting same values in configuration). Could you maybe take a look at my profile and figure out what i can upgrade? I know my chest has corpse explosion instead of offering effect, and the next upgrade im planning is a watchers eye. Thanks!
