[2.2] [HC] Spark Max Block Necromancer

This build is especially good vs Perandus chests! Can mitigate all of their damage :D

Edited
Spoiler
Added in Whispers of Doom for Enfeeble/Conductivity dual curse. Dropped some shock nodes(not worth it in my opinion). Changed gem setup slightly to include desecrate. Changed gem setup even more.


Hey guys, first time making my build so here it is.

So the idea of this build is to use Bone Offering (Mistress of Sacrifice Ascendency in Necromancer gives buffs to player) to get max block and spell block and get 600+ life gained on block to be really tanky while still maintaining a decent life pool and dps.
Orb of Storms will be used to proc curse on hit and Elemental Overload (40% more damage)

Pros
Spoiler
- Start of League Friendly
- Easy leveling with Elemental Overload + Spark + Orb of Storms
- Very tanky and can survive due to block + bone offering 600+ life gained on block!
- Decent dps


Cons
Spoiler
- Vulnerable to degen since it goes through block
- Lower dps compared to other ascendencies
- Can still get 1 shot by a huge hit if not blocked


End Game Block Calculations
Spoiler
We use will use in end game to get block/spell block:
Bone Offering - 35/34
Passive Tree - 5 + 3(from jewels)
Tempest Shield - 3
Rathpith - 25/55-60% of block (55 is minimum you have to have in order to get max spell block
Corrupted Amulet - 4
This gives us exactly 75 block. 35+8+3+25+4 = 75
Spell block is 34 + (.6 * 75) = 34+45 = 79 -> 75
This is for end game and the 4% from corrupted amulet may be hard to get.


Starting Off New League/Budget Block Calculations
Spoiler
To start off with max block use:
Bone Offering - Assume Level 18? 34/33 ish
Passive Tree - 5 + 3(from jewels)
Tempest Shield - 3
Lioneyes Glare - 31
Stone of Lazhwar - 50% of block to spell block
This gives us 75 block.
Spell block is 33 + (.5 * 75) = 33 + 37(or 38? might round) = 70 spell block
Unfortunately, we can't cap spell block unless you use the new Unique Jewel (Reckless Defense) or Rathpith / Rainbowstrides but it is acceptable for starting off in a league on a budget.


I recommend using Flesh Offering to level up after you first ascend and get Mistress of Sacrifice. It's basically a free vaal haste constantly!

You WILL need +Dexterity on gear or you have to get +30 in the passive tree since we run dex skills!

Gem Setup:
Spoiler
Chest (on ES chest):
4L: Spark + Pierce + Echo + Controlled Destruction
5L: Spark + Pierce + Echo + Controlled Destruction + Faster Proj
6L: Spark + Pierce + Echo + Controlled Destruction + Faster Proj + Lightning Pen
Testing Controlled Destruction vs Lightning Pen

If 4L, put in Wrath + Clarity
If 5L, put in Wrath

Helmet (+2minion):
4L: Bone offering + Desecrate + Increased Duration + Faster Cast

Boots/Gloves:
4L: Vaal Spark + Pierce + Echo + Pen


Boots/Gloves:
4L: Orb of Storms + Curse on Hit + Conductivity + Enfeeble (This procs curses and Elemental Overload!!)

Weapon:
3L: Herald of Thunder + Tempest Shield + Knockback (so good)

Shield:
3L: Got rid of CWDT. Put here anything you'd like + Flamedash
I have currently
Flamedash + Faster Cast + Empty socket (put clarity here if you have 5L chest)


Let me know if you can make some improvements to my tree or suggestions! Thanks.

Hi, the build looks nice, but the tree is old. Try adding this tree http://poedb.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwMB7Xc= and which nodes in the necro will you grab? Thanks :)
I had pretty much the same idea, still debating about going with Spark as first character though.

What about the mana ? Based on my quick testing i found Clarity to be a bit short to sustain Spark so i fear with orb of storms/spark spam it will be hard on mana.
where is this 600 life on block coming from?> and is there any way to get this to apply to ES?

EDIT: its from bone offering.. Is there any way to get this to convert to ES?

Sadly not
Aegis Aurora is the closest thing, but your skilltree would be all over the place from Witch start point

The tree isn't old if you paste it in the offline skill tree.
Edit:
I added in the online version as well.

Spark would synergize best with the increased duration nodes. For mana issues, I'd put regen on gear or get the reduced mana nodes on tree. I still haven't tested it yet but I will when it launches!
Hey I'm interested in this build, but just how good are HoT and Wrath? I'm thinking we could get some mana nodes and go MoM and drop some auras maybe.

I think we're lacking some damage so those auras are very good. We have so many "more" multipliers and Wrath would make it even better. If you feel like you need MoM for the extra barrier for survivability go for it! I think 75/75 block + Enfeeble will be enough but I might change my mind end game where hits may 1 shot.
