[3.10] Gryph's Volatile Dead Necromancer || Fun, Medium Budget, Tanky, Millions of DPS
i have scolds + doedres + 6 link staff (via CwC staff) but the first spin doesnt proc CWDT, so it doesnt do enough damage. I feel like this really drains on the energy shield, because I get the dmg from the spin, but only the second spin will proc the recovery via spirut offering.
Isnt it supposed to proc the CWDT on every spin? Did i make a mistake somewhere? |

Great build so far, I'm just holding right mouse button through red maps and things just fall over.
Couple of questions: How do we support Discipline, Anger and a herald? Right now I'm only running discipline and herald because there's no mana left. And also: What's more important, crafting the staff for a 7 link or keeping the martyr and getting a 6l chest? |

" No, you won't proc on the first spin. The idea is to take smaller, but more consistent damage hits from cyclone and proc Spirit Offering as often as possible--up to 4x per second max. Ideally you'll recover more than you take in damage, though this may not always be the case (I'm a corpse generating minimalist...lol). Another source of ES recovery is recommended anyways; be that leech or ES on Hit. " If you feel like damage is fine, just get a 6L chest going (that you can eventually make into your 6L CWDT setup later). Martyr is excellent for defense as well because is has that additional (up to) 16% block chance. For example, I have right now, 73/45 block and spell block with Bone Offering buff going (I use all three). I cannot stress enough how OP this chest mod is with our build--even if you're not using the belt. That said, if you want more damage...get a 7L staff going. I would recommend either a Shaped one with CWC+Spell Crit/10% Chance to get a PC on crit mods OR And Elder Staff with Level 10 PCOC support and the regular mods. There's a +5% Block + 12% Spell Block Elder suffix that's pretty cool. This would let you use the Awakened CWC Support for fast VD proc rates, though PCOC support is not as strong as another support gem, but does come with the convenience of PC generation.

" I am using CWC+Cyclone these days. :) I started as a self cast build and eventually transitioned away from it in favor of the convenience and mobility of CWC+Cyclone--even if it IS less damage. |

Love the build, got an amazing staff today...
Now its off to Linking :) How happy are you with the new belt? Is it worth it? Последняя редакция: lolepple#7866. Время: 17 дек. 2019 г., 10:06:16

" Too bad on the cast speed but OMG gratz on the +3 gems! And yes the belt is worth imo. I would HIGHLY recommend having the +25% increased effect of Offerings on your chest piece to pair with it though otherwise you lose 1/3 of your recovery from Spirit Offering (it also makes the Bone and Flesh offerings 50% more effective). It's basically like having another free onslaught (Flesh) and insane block chance (currently +25% of each) with life recovery on block. You will definitely want these two on a high level CWDT though. |

" Thanks, that all definitely helps! I respecced a bit and tried kiting more against bosses. I think I need to get out of the melee mentality and let the fireballs do their job. Will check out some of the gearing suggestions tonight. |

Hi Gryph, I'm trying this build for the first time and having some problems. Currently running the "budget" build.
1) I can't survive with Soul Tether. Somehow I'm not getting much ES net gain out of Spirit Offering. Have 2.5k base HP now at lvl 68. So I'm still using Perandus Blazon haha. What am I doing wrong with Soul Tether? 2) I've got Scold's and Doedre's Malevolence but I can't seem to transition into CWC. My ES never catches up with the Scold's damage. How do I ease into CWC? 3) Assuming I can't 6L a staff because I suck at farming/getting currency, what are my best options for gearing? Thank you! |

Anyone upgrading from a Martyr of Innocence and got one for sale?
I still can't figure out whether I should be going for a CWC staff or Martyr first... |
