Another glorious push further into the Pit with a non meta build.

Wow still a good build

[@jacelocke4345]

Have you tried the Requiem Aspect or ever considered it worth using in this build? Your at max essence constantly and are using max minions. Wouldn’t that be a significant damage increase for the build?

[@reallysuperserious]

I tried the requiem aspect but with the ossified aspect capping at x40% it doesn't receive any bonus past that point. So the gain from this isn't as huge as it seems at first. Keeping near 100% essence with the regen aspect seemed to work better for me but I've not done any hard math to say 100% - just my experience.

[@jacelocke4345]

@@reallysuperserious Interesting, thanks for the really helpful insight. The aspect capping at 40% is a little annoying but in consideration of the keystone, I want to test it more. Sadly I’m not that far but I want to play around with using max essence and the keystone since that doesn’t have a cap. My theorycraft so far is to use 1 hand and focus. And instead of Serration in the amulet(I put it on the focus), I put Requiem there for the 10.5 essence per minion. I have 12 minions in total so that’s 126 max essence. That’s a 63% damage increase alone. I don’t know if that worth it or not though ;,).

How important is the bone golem and his corpse production? Would blood golem 30% damage reduction not be better and why golem over curses?? Thanks!

[@reallysuperserious]

The golem is personal choice IMO. I use the corpse generation to specifically place corpses for pulling in groups of enemies with corpse tendrils. Also the extra corpses help immensely on higher tiers since minions can get destroyed so easily and my Ring of Sac unique is constantly popping corpses. I always go full minion/bone spear every season, which is super fun even if not meta. Lots of builds use minions with curse and can get much higher in the pit than this, but this is my fun build.

@@reallysuperserious thanks for the quick reply! I too have been bone spear minion'ing. Did you recently switch to a 2h weapon?

[@reallysuperserious]

@@Toxic0788 Yes I was using a 1H sword/focus which I used to clear T100 but the 2H is just as good if not better. I keep playing around with different weapons, skill point allocations, paragon glyphs, etc. but I think the build I have linked right now is solid. I think putting some skill points from corpse explosion back into minion nodes is the only thing I might swap at this point, but I still need to test more to see how it feels pushing higher tiers.

[@Toxic0788]

Keep it up! I'll be watching and liking!! 😁

[@Cleiton_Silva]

We can use grandfather and starless on this build?

[@reallysuperserious]

Starless Skies yes, but the Grandfather is weak compared to the tempers + aspect you can put on.

[@davidso2357]

How about tyrael's might?

[@reallysuperserious]

@@davidso2357 You would have to give up a strong aspect for it, i dont think it's worth from my testing but Im sure it would still be usable with a bit of gear reconfiguration

[@amsterdamchannel]

flask?

[@reallysuperserious]

Attack speed and antivenin elixirs were used
