What's the Best Way to Create/Sustain Corpses for Volatile Dead?

So we have Desecrate and Unearth.

I've been playing around with different totem setups.

I know there's Spell Echo and the new Cascade support gem that can help.

- Necro gets extra bodies on Desecrate.

- Heirophant/Ascendent gets extra totems.

- Saboteur might be an option but I'm not sure how to best use Desecrate or Unearth with that ascendency without making it feel extra clunky.

Would love any thoughts from people who have been theorycrafting/playing around with this.

Thanks!

Unearth + GMP + Faster cast + [Spell echo/Faster projectiles]

i usually needed 1 cast from unearth to clear packs, anything more is not useful imo

BTW Volatile Dead feels extremely clunky, especially for the low cast speed. Try Cremation... that skill is too OP to be real.

What would be the best last 4 link on a totem?

Echo/Faster Proj/Faster Casting?

Wow...

Trap>Multiple Trap>Desecrate

that's 15 corpses for you right there on a cheap 3 link. By the time you consume all of those corpses the mobs will be long dead or you will be.

Or just a 2 link:

Desecrate>Spell Cascade

I think a totem setup that is recasting on its own that allows spamming of VD is probably the best.

I'm open to traps if that's going to be better.
