[3.0] Reverse Wither Totem Dark Pact

When people think about chaos damage, they think wither totem. When people think of Dark Pact, they think of the 90% more damage from self cast. It's no wonder almost every Dark Pact build is Berserker. I wanted to take a different spin on things.

I've updated the gear a little since I took this video.






One problem I have with the build is the last ascendancy, but even still, I find the build fun and easy to play. If you have 90% uncapped elemental resists and 2 Kikazaru rings, curses will not drop your resists below 75%. Playing with only 1 Kikazaru requires 124% uncapped elemental resists. Playing without Kikazaru requires 158% uncapped elemental resists. By playing with 2 of them and reaching 90% resists, I can stack as many curses on myself as I want and use Self-Flagellation for the damage bonus. Even with damage reducing curses on me, I typically have higher damage than without it. I recommend using 2 of them. The mana regen is a very nice bonus, all attributes helps out a lot with Dexterity, the life regen is a nice bonus, and the lightning resist is very helpful at letting you focus on only fire and cold resists. All-in-all, I have been much happier since I switched to this setup. I wish I had done so before level 87. :)
