(3.20) Dominating The Endgame With A 51m DPS Poison SRS Necromancer

[@Balormage]

A lot of people have been asking about the AG's gear so heres a list of things i am using/you can use that are more budget friendly i have a kingmaker but its not exactly cheap. Asenaths Gentle touch, Garb of Ephermal, Windscream boots. Either Leercast + dying breath or Crown of Tyrant (white socket) + kingmaker

As for the DoT limit, it's an overall limit of something around 2 billion total DoT damage in every minute that will be calculated by the game. That works out to a cap of about 35 million DoT damage per second for all DoTs applied by a given player. Not that you really need more damage than that lol. Great build/video though!

[@tehf00n]

you can finish this game with 2.5million dps no problem. Having 35mil is just making it too easy :D

[@martind63]

For more budget or SSF players, it's probably worth mentioning the spectre "Ancient Suffering", which is a rare enemy you can find in Delve (any "Haunted remains" node). It is the final rare enemy that spawns on any of these nodes. It applies level 20 temporal chains and it has a modifier that allows it to apply its curse on top of any curse you apply. Which means you only need to care about applying despair yourself, and you do not need to get +1 curse limit. Pretty convenient to have

[@Balormage]

If you did this in trade. You could make an explode chest for your AG and use the gloves that make kills apply to him. And greatly increase your clear speed to.

@@Balormage i tried it when I first switched to srs... But idk it just died or disappeared now i am using doppelganger and crown of tyrant.... once during blight my spectres and ag disappeared and while trying to resummon my spectres, pressed the AG key and somehow it came back

[@whateverppl1229]

@@Wraith0100 if you unequip the ig gem, he will "disappear" as you state. Using the gem again will resummon him with whatever gear he had, as he didnt die. (provided when you resummoned him, you didnt summon him on an item, as that would replace whatever he has on) this mechanic is nice as if you're worried he might die during a boss fight, you can despawn him, kill the boss and then respawn him for maps.

[@dingostar2620]

Can anyone explain where the 75% block chance is coming from?

[@Equilibrium2903]

Thx for the update, some nice upgrades and changes. But just so others know, DOT DPS is capped at ~35.8m. That is a universal limitation in the game, so also applies to minions. So any dot DPS above that is wasted. Well, at least at the top end. Having more dot DPS still means that you reach the cap much faster, reducing the ramp time. Just thought I would mention it, because knowing this fact makes it a lot easier to sacrifice some "DPS" for defences. Or even for QoL in my case, when I cut out the 2nd Bone Ring for an Unset Ring and rolled for cast speed with Deafenings of Fear for Minion movement speed. Having some cast speed (and action speed from boot implicit) on top of just having Onslaught and Frenzies makes this build feel orders of magnitudes nicer to play. EDIT: edited for clarity, was worded poorly by me before. Understandable where the confusion came from.

[@ReallyNotAGoose]

He addresses this in the video and makes clear that the DoT cap is accounted for in the 51m number.

[@okenan]

Hes also got hella flat chaos damage on, which also contributes to the dmg

[@Equilibrium2903]

@@ReallyNotAGoose He does, but is wrong about how the cap works. It is neither per one ailment nor per one skill or whatever he said. It defines the maximum damage over time per second (2^31 - 1 damage per minute, or 35'791'394 damage per second) any one monster can take. The only way I can explain why he feels like his DPS increased after he hit this cap is because the ramp to that cap is faster with more DPS. At least thats how it was for me, you can definitely still feel the DPS increases after reaching the cap, just because it feels a lot better to reach the cap in 2 seconds instead of only after 5 seconds. Or he started scaling "damage taken" somehow, since that does actually provide a way to kinda exceed the cap.

[@Equilibrium2903]

@@okenan Doesnt matter where the damage comes from, it wont exceed the cap. I mean, I'm in the same boat, I am way above the cap myself. It is crazy easy to reach.

Good version of the build. Thx for all the work BM. You could go for a Determination or Malevolence Aul's with a few small changes, but they aren't cheap (though certainly obtainable by people better at trading than I) Edit: Use the Malevolence Aul's and put Haste with Divine Blessing, you'll save yourself 15 - 20 or so Divines.

Very nice build ! Really loving it. One question though. Why NoT the typical 3% as 35%effect clusters?

[@pauluZM]

Loving the build so far! but I got a question about the helmet. I was wondering if you can craft a +2 minion helm with spell suppress or did you really buy it? I hope someone can give me an answer :) thanks in advance

[@aluskn]

There is no reliable way to craft this - the best way to get a +2 minion helm at the moment is via Rog - when he offers a +1 minion helm, there's a decent chance of him upgrading it by 1 tier. However having that and suppress both happen would be very lucky - just getting offered a +1 helm will normally require a lot of rerolls. I have a +2 and supress helm, but I just bought it, about 10 divs I think,

[@TheEagleEyeValor]

An easy way of doing this is looking for a good base helmet (armour/evasion) with +2 minion already on it with one or two other good prefixes. You can then craft your own suffixes by hitting the helmet with an EoW implicit and using eldritch chaos orbs (or exalt/annul) until you hit a respectable suppression roll. Important note is that T1 suppression requires item level 85 so keep that in mind.

[@pauluZM]

@@TheEagleEyeValor thanks for the info. Found a helmet with fractured t1 spell suppression. So i was looking for the best way to get +2 Minion. Alt spam is 25 weight so that's not an option. I guess fossil (bound/pristine/dense). If you got an other option let me know

Chance to poison is a pretty weak support gem to use in general so that's why getting poison chance on abyss jewels is preferable.
