How viable is doing this build as an elementalist instead? I've noticed I barely use any minions besides the golem at all and elementalist seems like it'd be a massive dps increase with the only cost being losing the benefit of offerings on myself?

Hey ! What do you think of using Scorching Ray with Cast when Channeling and Firestorm ? Can it deal more damage than pure Scorching Ray ? (after removing Elemental Equilibrium of course)

I doubt it very much. Clear speed could go up. For firestorm to be good single target, u need to use conc eff. If u use conc eff, u loose 1 support for SR. It for sure is still viable and can kill all.

"Only" is not good word here. It is a huge deal to loose bone offering for tankiness. This is the main reason to go necro. It doesnt matter, that u dont use minions, u dont do this build to use minions.

If u would go elementalist, then u should just go do a different build completely. Like with trickster or guardian for example. Would be much better.

Just wanted to say thanks again for the build and comments help. I was having some issues starting maps and was able to fix it once i realized what it was. My gear update had left me with resistances <15. And i bone offering kept expiring at which point it'd blow up immediately.

Just updating gear again with random yellows to prioritize more resists, putting increased duration on Bone offering and getting the increased skill duration nodes that i'd missed before have made it seem like night and day in terms of surviveability.

10/10 awesome build. First time i'v been able to do all content. Really works well for solo playing. Thanks for the guide!

I know I'm an idiot, maybe I missed it in the main guide. How do I get endurance charges for Immortal Call?

U dont get any. U also dont need them. IC has a base duration and it is enough.

main point of immortal call is to just barely stop the dmg over time by blood rage, when that happens, soul of arkali (or whatever name is), the pantheon buff, activates and makes us recover 50% more hp from block ... which is main reason its there.

Oh I see, thank you for the super quick reply. Not gonna pretend that I understand how it works now, but at least my mind is at ease. Really fun to play so far, hope I don't die before act 10 :) . Thanks again.

Do not use it while still progressing through story. U need the 1st upgrade of soul of arakaali. BR may even kill u at this point, since u dont have much regen. Just take BR out and keep the rest. Put it in when u get the 1st upgrade(Capture Herald of Thunder). On HC i would also wait with using it till later maps, when u have good regen and HP pool. Dont rly need it before.

I will elaborate more on arakaali in the guide. So such misunderstanding doenst happen to others :)
