Check-in post!...looking forward to taking down some shaper/elder fights and maybe a delve boss or two. Thanks again!

Sweet! I'm glad story got easy and you're excited for endgame! Mapping is where the fun starts ;).

Hey Chunu0327! You're welcome and thanks for messaging. I hope you enjoy it.

The 2 Violent Dead Jewels are recommended in the Gear section for the guide. It's buried a little deep though. (I'm thinking of reorganizing how I have everything organized in this guide for 3.5.) The Violent Dead jewels are actually a HUGE part of the build. The Zombie Slam does tons of single target and AOE damage alike so the more it goes off the better. But I also planned around it in the sense that the slam doesn't seem to need accuracy improvements; it always hits. The the Zombie support gems reflect that in comparison to 3.3's version of this build. So they are totally worth using. In my opinion anyway.

Let us know how it goes and ask as many questions as you like. There are a lot of very helpful and supportive people interacting with this guide this go around. Feel free to give constructive criticism too!

Thanks again for the kind message.

ok thanks for the quick response...this late in the league especially

i totally missed where you had those jewels recommended my apologies

edit: since im in ssf right now im wondering how to get the second jewel

i think ill make a new witch and level it to act 5 just to get another..probably the fastest most reliable way :D

Happens all the time with me. I talk/write a lot. You're not the only one to miss what they're looking for in my guides ;).

In SSF, going through to Act 5 is the most guaranteed, but most patience testing way ;). I find that some leagues, I'll have 10 of that jewel naturally come across my path where I'll have none other leagues.

I did some Path of Building Math for you though. If you have Flesh Binder and one Violent Dead jewel, the cooldown for Zombie Slam is 1.67 seconds. Adding the second Violent Dead jewel lowers it to 1.25 seconds. Like I said in the guide, it's not needed, it's just nice. So, of course, up to you if .42 seconds is worth going through four and a half acts or not.

Walked throught the game easy peasy... except that last boss (act 10 i think).
Still haven't figured out the mechanics of that one.

Thought I'd post an update since I see others are jumping in too! Level 76 now doing T1-3 maps still but I've begun to see that just rushing in headfirst doesn't work (as well) anymore so I've finally reorganized my skill gems and dropped SRS as well in order to free up 2 4L spots and get a CWDT done and also fully support charged dash. I haven't got to test it yet because I had to run to work right after that but I'm sure it'll take me even further!

I'm still loving the build, it'll almost certainly be my new league starter. I just wish there were more builds like this that are simple to play, end game viable, and don't have unique items (or anything really) that need to be purchased.

Hi, I am totally newbie to the game
Could I ask about:

"

Act 3 - A Fixture of Fate - Reward - Level 31 - Blasphemy Support
Act 3 - A Fixture of Fate - Purchase - Level 31 - Generosity Support

About "Purchase" I do not get it. It means we can exchange something with NPC to get gem skill?

Hey ozmiz! I'm glad story got way easier. I'm not sure if you meant you beat the Act 10 boss and it was a pain or that you haven't beaten the Act 10 boss cause he's a pain...but either way, great job. If you haven't beaten the Act 10 boss yet, just plow through it, die lots and such. The end-game mapping is really easy to make up for lost XP in that last story fight. (Ever played Dark Souls 2? Remember the Iron Keep boss? Use the same strategy you'd use if you weren't dodging. Stick to the edges.) Have fun in end-game! It's where the fun begins.
