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

What are your resistances in order to make most out of wise oak flask?

Leveled this build as my second character (first was IceStorm Scion, which cleared all content) and I really enjoy mapping.

However, even after spending a few doznes of exalts I still have some problems with survivability at endgame bosses, and, most importantly, I have a strange feeling: when I kill regular mobs, I feel like DPS is much higher than my IceStorm char, but when I kill bosses, the DPS feels really lacking.

I have 20-30 exalts to spend, but I honestly have no idea what big upgrades could help solve my problems.

Could anyone help me pls?

Ohhh let's have a looksie!

Get a medium cluster jewel with Master of Fear and Wish for Death. Then remove culling strike from CWDT. If you can then also find a slot for it, Unearth+GMP will boost DPS by a significant margin on single target. I could justify dropping Stone Golem and moving Wave of Conviction to that slot. Play around with it and see what you like of course. To go along with producing more corpses, Awakened Spell Cascade is also quite significant.

If you cannot find a way to make that work, 1 socket free for power charge on critical is nice for getting power charges to boost crit chance.

Bottled Faith is a MASSIVE DPS upgrade. Roughly 25% more for most people.

Spell Crit chest is also really great. You have a super legit Icestorm chest though I gotta say. I'm currently playing Icestorm and it's making me a little jealous. XD BUT! Getting a crit chest will boost your DPS a fair bit.

Also you have a level 21 clarity instead of a Discipline?? Makes your watcher's eye look a little silly :P

I feel like this is self explanitory.

Highest is fire.

Make them all the same for maximum benefit.

HOLY POTATO!

I've completely forgotten that you need Discipline enabled for WE to work. Omg, I've levelled from 70 to 92 with a 15 ex jewel turned off. How stupid can I be?

Thank you very much for your recommendations, I will try to implement some of those. I like the idea with Unearth, Aw Spell Cascade and probably Bottled Faith as well.

Appreciate your response

Edit: OMG I AM UNKILLABLE NOW! Man, that Wtacher's Eye is just amazing, you really made my day by noticing how stupid I am

Since Cinderswallow with the Crit mod is fairly expensive, is it worth grabbing one with one of the other mods? 3% life regen/sec or 15% damage taken leeched as life?

I guess similarly, is it worth grabbing a cheaper Watcher's Eye without one of the skills we NEED?

Yes to both.

I mean, use a watcher's eye with a USEFUL mod at least. :P

Hello,
Could anyone take a look at my character and tell me, why I'm taking so much damage as soon as I start spinning? I assume it's from Scolds.. My profile should be open. Thanks!

My main 6 link has

Cyclone - Volatile Dead - Con Effect - Awa Cast While Channeling - Fire Penetration - Spell Cascade or Awa Elemental Focus support

I am saving money for Awa Spell cascade.

How would you prioritise these gems?

Is awakened spell cascade worth it? Do we generate enough corpses for ti to spawn more balls?

Is there a way to quantify how many corpses do I generate vs. how many are used? I'm running cascade on VD and on desecrate. No Unearth.

If I add more VD it might turn short on corpses. Where is the sweet spot?..

I'm wondering the same question as above. Contemplating a +3 corpses to desecrate helm enchant since I just got an Awakened Spell Cascade... trying to decide if it's worth it.

Any feedback from someone who knows better would be appreciated :)

BTW - I have no sockets left for an Unearth setup.
