[3.4] Soulwrest Blade Vortex Necromancer - Hybrid Caster / Summoner
|
My goal was to make a hybrid build with the new staff "Soulwrest". Currenly a WIP, I'll be updating this post as I play and discover new things.
I chose BV because it has synergies with the summoner play style. With duration stacking it is easy to maintain a decent amount of damage while using other skills in between casts. BV also synergies with Herald of Purity which add a bit of extra DPS. I'm currently running a pure Physical Damage setup. BV DPS is about 180k with curses/debuffs. Soulwrest has an innate level 20 Summon phantasm. When supported with a level 21 "Summon Phantasm on Kill Support" you can have a maximum of 21 phantasms. Pros: 1. Very active playstyle 2. Fast clear for a minion build 3. Easy to get started, just need Soulwrest 4. Tier 1-15 maps done easily, and delve floor 200+ Cons: 1. Limited hotkeys 2. Limited sockets 3. Since its hybrid it will never beat a traditional summoner or BV in damage 4. Minion damage numbers are mystery 5. Fortify is a little tedious to get
Current Gear
NOTE: Their is no need to link Soulwrest. Support gems work similarly to Whispering Ice or Ngamahu's Flame. I was experimenting with a 6-link, but found it worth it. NOTE: I'm currently using brutality with BV so I don't get the extra damage from Taste of Hate, but its still an amazing defensive flask. NOTE: The Vigil gives you and your minions 30+ seconds of Fortify.

Nice build. I'm working on a similar build.
Are the phantasms good enough on their own? I have Zombies-maim-multistrike-brutality-minion dmg-melee phys in the armour then use Baron and str. Iron Will on BV in soulwrest to buff Bv and phantasm spell. |
