I have made a few calculations for people who are promoting impale and the people who are asking about it.

These are all done with a 21 level 0 quality vaal summon skelly , the other gems are all assumed to be at 20 quality.

So with a skin of the loyal chest piece which has a +2 to level of socketed gems, which costs 7 to 35 ex on 3r-1g-2b colors and 20ex on 3r-3b colors :

My mapping damage with the recommended gems is 450k per skeleton , if I were to replace melee splash with multistrike which is my bossing setup my damage would be 730k per skeleton.

Now with impale instead of minion damage and dread banner(We dont have any space for this so I dont know where to socket it) our mapping damage is 540k per skeleton and our bossing damage is (replace melee splash with multistrike) 876k per skeleton and if we drop the banner at max stages (50) our damage goes up to 950k per skeleton.


If I do these with a +1 to gems tabula , my mapping damage is : 372k and bossing damage is 600k and impale mapping and boss damages are : 445k , 720k(780k with banner planted).

TLDR : At a very basic setup with +1 to gems tabula, impale gives us 120-160k increased boss damage and at the top level it is 200k more boss damage.

I dont think skin of the loyal is a worthy investment at all, you are paying at bare minimum 8 exalts(which is unlikely) for 200k bossing damage increase , imo just use a +1 to gems tabula it is more then enough.

Impale withou dread banner is worthless so if you are not going to use dread banner do not use impale.

I do not know how you did it, but I just died 8 times on awakened level 1.


Did you know the strategy ? How much life / es / mana you have ?


I just went blindly without knowing the strategy and died 8 times at half life .

I think there might be an interesting variation on the build where you may/may not run Impale Support but you swap out CWDT with Trigger Socketed Gems on Spell Cast.

Ditch Enfeeble, Ditch Flesh Offering. You now have 3 skill slots pick up Vulnerability to replace the Flesh Offering which alternates anyways....
Replace Enfeeble with Dread Banner + Flesh and Stone.

This should end up with a similar effect of accuracy reduction + blind/increased dmg option from Flesh and Stone and Vulnerability should pick up any DPS of Flesh Offering as long as you can cast skeletons or dash over whatever you wanna debuff. On top of this you will get a form of Impale regardless of whether you use the support.

I haven't done this in awhile but I think theres almost no drawbacks to this? Plus you trigger everything just by spamming Flame Dash or Skeletons now.

Not sure if Impale Support is the way to go or not on top of that.

I'm currently toying with the idea of dropping Brutality in order to be more tanky.

Effective DPS is down by less than 2k, but I gain Fortify, Infused Channelling, a constantly activating Spirit Offering, and all the goodies that Femurs of the Saints brings. I also added Essence Worm with Hatred socketed. I'm assuming no Awakened gems for this setup and I haven't touched the tree at all, except to make sure one of the abyss jewels had Blind on it.

Honestly, I think I might make the switch. This build does not need more DPS, imo. It kills things pretty quick. What I want is to be 1-shot less.
