[3.11] Spellslinger VD Necromancer. All content. Easy and fast Sirus A8 kill. Wave 20 Simulacrum.

yes it does.

but care: if u start with your first cast, its a matter of timing, if VD finds enough corpses (cast simultaneous via desecrte). all further casts should have the correct number.

looking at your char i see that you should add a inspiration gem to your 6-link (in addition to the one in your barrage links!), in your current setup it doesn't affect VD.

also, because u don't use DD, you can consume only 9 corpses from 12.
there are a few possible solutions to fix this:
- "Volatile Dead Consumes up to 1 additional corpse" Enchant on helmet for 10 total
- awakened spell cascade for 12 total
- add DD to the 6-link
- remove undertaker (so u spawn 10 corpses) and anoint something different (not sure this makes sense, it hast good other benefits too!)

but i don't see any reason why u shouldn't spawn 9 balls.

I know that inspiration isn't doing anything, just not sure what to put there instead :) Dropped inspiration from 6l since it wasn't possible to meet mana reservation requirements with it.

Sure, user Vodkasheep has, as for nearly every other item :-) Just check his profile and "recent forum posts"

u could use raise spectre an get Lithomancer (from delve) and/or primal Crushclaw (garden, blue T3), as they have insane high life pools and corpse explosions scale with corpse base life (see this thread: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2911667)

I have a detailed guide on page 205. But it requires you to find a non-influenced rare shield with t1-2 spell/fire dmg + t1 life. They should still be rather common for coupl ex. It's completely failproof and requires you some minimal seedcrafting!

There is quit a bit of options for main 6l setup. SS and VD are mandatory, but then we have quite a bit of contenders for remaining 4 slots

- Detonate Dead
- Spell Cascade (or is it also mandatory ?)
- Elemental Focus
- Inspiration
- Controlled Destruction
- Concentrated Effect

Did anybody theorycrafted the best configuration for clearing and single target DPS ?


Right now heres what im using in my 6L



is it the best? probably not, but its what ive landed on after discussions with some other more knowledgable people than me in this thread, but map clearing is laughable, and theres nothing i cant do atm

an interesting armour u've got there! :D

as i said a few posts before, the awakened spell cascade changes the number of potential corpses consumed. so its interesting what triggers first - i have no chance to test this, so i can just write about the theory behind:

u consume 12 corpses with VD and 5 with DD, but you spawn only 12 corpses (with undertaker). so imo u could change DD vs something that is boosting VD more (eg hypothermia?). u should calculate potential damage figures for both, so DD+VD vs VD solo.

VD has one bonus that noone mentions all the time: the orbs do always hit, while its "unknown" how many of your corpse explosions hit a particular target... so if i'd get an awakened spell cascade, i would switch to vd alone. also the setup gets cheaper in terms of mana reservation, so u could maybe fit HoA in there...?

if you keep your setup and i think that DD triggers first, u could also try to buff the corpse explosions with high life raise specre corpses (see also a few posts before)

heres my one question, and excuse the stupidity of it if its obvious - if awakened elemental focus stops linked ability from causing elemental ailments, would something like hypothermia not be so useful because you arent chilling enemies anymore?

The Skill "Corpse Pact" from your ascendancy handles the chill ailment.
