[3.20] Cheapbunny's Double Unleash Summon Raging Spirit Popcorn Necromancer



Updated to 3.20 - The Forbidden Sanctum League
Curses effect penalty to rare/unique mobs has been removed in patch 3.20, they are now very effective against end game bosses. So I removed shield charge set up, and added hextouch support + elemental weakness to support storm brand, and now we have 20% more damage :). (but require additional curse corruption on amulet)

Previous Version Update
Spoiler

Updated to 3.19 - Lake of Kalandra League
SRS skill gem is buffed in 3.19 but Tavukai amulet is nerfed, overall should be slight buff. Unnatural Strength Ascendancy node no longer grant +2 minion level, and is removed from this build, we will take "Plaguebringer" instead. To ultilize "Plaguebringer" during boss fight, desecrate needs to be supported by spell cascade, so stone golem skill gem is replaced with spell cascade support.

Mana reservation efficiency has been removed from the reservation mastery, hence we need to anoint "Charisma".


Introduction
League started this build in Sentinel, didn't expect it could take down all the new uber bosses, turns out it could without too much investment, minions build is op, enjoy the build.

Build Thought
Spoiler


The build idea is to abuse unleash as much as possible.

Why Summon Raging Spirit?
Summon Raging Spirit can be supported by Unleash without being affected by the damage penalty.

Why Double Unleash?
Each of the unleash setup gain seal charges independently, essentially double your seal charges gain rate, as well as dps.

Why Minion Instability?
With 2 unleash setup, you will hit maximum number of raging spirits very quickly, which limit the damage output gained from double unleash setup. Minion Instability consumes raging spirits to boost dps.

Hey Dude, i just wanted to tell you that im trying your Build since yesterday and that i really enjoy it so far, i added two different rings.

Bossing is really easy, but the Clearspeed for Maps is a bit clunky.

I got some points i want to ask you:

1. sometimes the minions take way to long to explode, any tips for that?

2. Whats the minimum investment for you Build?

3. I invested 18EX so far, coud you please tell me what i can do better, in terms of Gear progression?

4. Some of the Videos that you linked for your Guide are from another Build, i dont know if you noticed :D

The Explosions are so rewarding, thank you for the Build

Get a bit cast speed and minion area of effect on tree could help

I got some points i want to ask you:

This jewel could help if you can slot in

2. Whats the minimum investment for you Build?
No minimum actually, depends on how far you want to go

3. I invested 18EX so far, coud you please tell me what i can do better, in terms of Gear progression?
You have pretty good gears there, but you are missing a big chunk of dmg by not using Skin of the Lords with EE. Next upgrade could be quality on belt, enchant on your helmet and empower 4.


4. Some of the Videos that you linked for your Guide are from another Build, i dont know if you noticed :D
Fixed :D

Following your guide though still missing lotsa items. Btw I have 2 elegant hubris jewels, first has 2 80% minion dmg and one 80% minion life while the other jewel has 2 80% minion life. Not sure which is better.

It actually depends on gear and skill tree, but generally minion life is better.
still viable for 3.19?

Yes, SRS got buffed in 3.19 according to balance manifesto, I will update the build guide once new tree is available.
