The build is terrible. I've been playing it since league start (casually) and I'm struggling at the beginning of red maps. This was purely an exercise in stubbornness.
FAQ:
I've received numerous comments about "why don't you use X?"
I assure you, I've tried everything, and this is the "best" setup, assuming I have to use the core mechanics I laid out.
For example:
Maligaro's Lens: The heal has a TINY AOE, the spirits have less than 1k life, it would require scuffing the tree, and we need to use a Staff for damage. Not only does it not benefit us at all, it's an active detriment.
Infernal Legion: This support has been completely useless since release. In no way would I ever consider using it on anything but Earendel's Embrace Minion Instability Skeletons, and even then I probably wouldn't, because of the opportunity cost. It's a waste of a gem slot. When it came out, it wasn't even able to be scaled by support gems, so it did a flat 1k DPS. They've since fixed that, and I still have exactly the same opinion of it.
The 4 seconds of "cannot be damaged" from Blessed Rebirth applies to all damage, including Infernal Legion. If a spirit is capable of being damaged by Infernal Legion, it can also be damaged by enemies, so they will die at an inconsistent rate, breaking the loop.
Blessed Rebirth 4% of minion life recovered on minion death: This is basically a slightly worse version of pre-nerf Spirit Offering. Minions are already pretty easy to make totally invincible. There's no reason to resort to this.

[@Doomsdave96]

Every time your post a video, it's a "drop whatever I'm doing to watch" kind of moment. Just dropped my soup on the ground. I hope you're happy. On another note, I'm not clear on why you had to replace the skeletons with raging spirits, aside from the summon duration. Could that not have been worked around at all? Since convocation doesn't work, it seems the raging spirits are the weakest link in the chain.

[@OMGItsJousis]

Because we can use minions with a duration up to 4 seconds due to Blessed Rebirth, we can use Spirits instead of Skeletons, because Skeletons would require a ton of To Dust jewels, which scuffs the passive tree of the build. If you used Skeletons with a 4 second duration, you would run into the same problems, because Skeletons are also not affected by Convocation.

[@james14294]

Thinking of theory crafting a Soulwrest / phantasms build along these lines, you can get 21 phantasms, they usually last 15 seconds but with 21/23 less duration, awakened swift affliction and 12% reduced duration warped timepiece you can get it to 3.9 seconds, so just like yours they will consistantly expire with blessed rebirth. would still be difficult to make it run smoothly, but would be worth a shot And with the spell damage, mana regen, and life regen you get from soulwrest, I think you could make quite the meme with it.

[@presentedbyconormctappersp4565]

My first thought as well, it may be viable enough to replace SRS and possibly quicker to run around with too.

I really love all this wacky unconventional stuff that you do. Speaking of, I tend to come up with some really odd ideas myself and can't quite seem to put em to the test. My latest theorycraft is Dual Ichimonji Wild Strike Elementalist. I paired it with Alpha's Howl and The Perfect Form to support the auras/defenses, but the skill tree seems like an absolute mess. At least cluster jewels make life easier for a stupid build like this, especially with nodes like Doryani's Lesson and Purposeful Harbinger.
