nice :) , this build works in group?
Hey Donaldf, again a funny and strange build.

It's a nice/funny/effective idea, but easy to nerf (down corpse's hp).
Do you know corpse's HP of Desecrate?

Nice question, Donaldf?

Do you think take Entropy or maybe Growth and Decay?

So, gj, this build look funny ^^.
Your video is pre-nerf/bugfix desecrate when corpses were spawned at the area level instead of capped by gem level. How is the damage now after the change?
@fraction
Yes. This build works well in group.
Detonate Dead can 1 shot almost enemy even if 6ppl.


@Evelyus
I dont know about corpse life.
But i can 1 shot Lv78 map enemy with my Lv18 Desecrate.
My DPS will be higher when i get Lv20 Desecrate, Lv3 Empower and +1gem weapon.

Growth and Decay is very good.
I'll take it after I got skill point.


@JapaneseElvis
I couldn't notice that nerf first.
Damage is still really good.
I can 1 shot almost enemy.

This came pretty handy since i wanted to make a similar build! Thx for posting this!

Im just wondering which chest you would use if you can get 6l on it. Carcass jack? Cloak of flame or maybe cloak of defiance?

Another question: what happens if you drop the concentrated effect gem and put increased burnong damage on? Is your dmg higher?

nice build! how about go low life es build and using redbeak?
can Desecrate linked added lighting dmg,and using EE?
Does the build work with only a 4-linked detonate dead? In this case, which gems would you use? :)

Imo low life is not needed since you can already 1 shot almost any enemy...

I guess desecrate dont hit an enemy so you cant proc ee.
@K2ThaYo
I'll use Carcass Jack if I got 6L.
But, Cloak of Defiance also good.

I think Concentrated Effect is very important.
69%more damage is really strong.


@51frame
I think Low-Life is not good for this build.
Because AA and Rise of the Phoenix is very important.
Desecrate cant trigger EE.


@Cychic
hm... DD - Ignite - Ele pro - Cons
But, I hardly recommend to use at least 5L.
