Ведьма - [3.17] CheapBunny's Dual 8L Herald of Agony + Herald of Purity Necromancer | The Squire & Non-Squire - Форум

Updated to 3.17 - ArchNemesis League
Passives skill tree remain the same. Hydrosphere setup is removed, it is no longer useful for this build due to the hit cooldown change to hydrosphere. Dps remain the same, hydrosphere is just a QOL for this build.

Introduction
This build utilizing both herald minion skill, namely Herald of Agony and Herald of Purity, they are easy to be scaled together given they are both minion/herald/physical skill.

I have been doing the build with "The Squire" shield, which is a very rare shield cost above 100ex. However, I realized afterwards that this build can actually be done without "The Squire" shield, and still able to achieve almost the same result, at much more lower budget, so I included the gear/gem setup both for "Non-Squire Variant" and "The Squire Variant" in the build guide below, you can choose whichever you like to do, enjoy =).

Build Thought

Скрытый текст

The build is built around the unique body armour "The Coming Calamity".

The build concept is simple, to boost the mana reservation of any 2 herald skill as high as possible (use as much support gem as possible), to abuse the "Mana Reservation of Herald skill is always 45%" mod.

I decided to use Herald of Agony and Herald of Purity, because they are easy to be scaled together given they are both minion/herald/physical skill. Since, this is going to be a minion build, I chose Necromancer ascendancy.

Because of the mod "Mana Reservation of Herald skill is always 45%", Essence of Worm Ring also gives us a free aura.

Leveling

Скрытый текст

Use Zombie and SRS to level until level 50 before swapping into Herald of Agony (without Herald of Purity). Try to take all the nearby minion damage nodes on passive skill first before you got the cluster jewel. Respec those nodes into cluster jewel afterward.

After you swapped into Herald of Agony, you may use "Icefang Orbit" ring if you feels like you need more chance to poison in early game, and change it later.

For "Non-Squire Variant", only turn into dual Herald setup after you get "The Coming Calamity" and pseudo 6L helmet.

For "The Squire Variant", only turn into dual Herald setup after you get "The Coming Calamity" , "The Squire" and pseudo 6L wand.
