Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to trigger volatile dead - I'm using a 6 Link bow with CoC as in your guide, do they have to be linked in a certain order?

Rerolled to your build today - its pretty big damage

Heres my stuff:

what about the idea to run circle of anguish with firedmg/reduced mana res. and additionally run flesh and stone (or aspect of the spooder) which grants crazy tankiness?

that is a nice bow sir, did you self craft ?

luckily i sniped the "base item" (already had coc, pen and crit) for only 5 exalts multimodded and done :)

Also how the hell do you guys got the large cluster jewel, theres only one on poetrade rn

No worries, that's what this forum is for.

Can't look at your gear at the moment but a few possible reasons:

Volatile Dead requires a corpse to trigger so you need something to generate corpses. In this build, we utilise the unique helmet Asenath's Chant as it will trigger the spells socketed in it every time we attack with the bow. Make sure the spell Desecrate is the first gem (top left I believe) in the helmet and linked to Spell Cascade Support.

Second reason is you might not have enough critical strike chance. You need a decent amount of crit chance to ensure that you trigger your spells as it goes off based on whether you crit or not. I would say start using the setup after you have at least 90% crit chance in Path of building with flasks up. Make sure your Precision gem is a high level and your Cast on Critical Strike Gem if you are using it is at 20% quality.

Third reason is you might not have enough accuracy so you are missing your hits against enemies. Make sure you have at least 90% chance to hit with your Barrage in the tooltip. Again, this could be due to a low level Precision.

If crit is the cause, I recommend grabbing a random 6 link bow with minimum 7.00 base crit chance. You will see drastic improvement as you get more crit chance and more accuracy.

If none of this is a possible cause, link me your setup and I will have a look and see what the issues are.

Very nice enchant on the helmet. The tailwind boots are sweet man and you got that freeze immunity. How much health do you have with that current setup and 2 Circle of Anguish rings? You must be doing a truckload of damage, jeez.

Cremator is important as one of the most common things that kill us is the Porcupine spikes that gets released when they die. Cremator can circumvent this at the cost of reducing the effectiveness of our Cinderswallow Urn due to not consuming any ignited corpses to regain charges. This is a decent tradeoff.

If the bodies are destroyed by Cremator, doesn't this mean we don't get to cast Volatile Dead? No corpse => no VD => no damage. Unless I miss something

Amulet: is an amulet with +1 level to all fire skill gems & +1 level to all dex gems be worth trying it out? That would take VD to lvl 23 and it seems to scale quite well (without empower)
