They do stack. PoH has insane damage but you are significantly squishier.

Hey guys,

Planning to league start based on this build tomorrow and pretty hyped. It'd be my first summoner and second league.

- Would Soul's Wick jewel worth the hassle?
- Is Bitterbind Point shield worth considering?
- If we can only focus on obtaining one unique to improve the base build, would you agree that we should focus on The Devouring Diadem?

Thanks.

Thanks so much for the guide Kay. I find concentrated effect granting so much more damage than others such as controlled destruction . I wonder is the AOE reli that important. Also, i wanna ask if meat shield instead of feeding frenzy is better on golem and zombies? Thank you very much

Thanks for your question.

I didn't explain it in the video, but maybe this picture will give you an idea:



I measured the range in pixels, and I play PoE at 1920x1080.

Controlled Destruction has about 700 pixel range. This is the 'normal'.

Conc Effect has 550 pixels range. More damage but reduced range. This makes map clearing a little slower.

Increased AOE has 800 pixel range. You lose a damage modifier for a little bit more range. Actually not worth it.

Pledge of Hands has 1100p pixel range!
Basically off-screen clearing capability, but you lose Bone Offering. This might be worth using in Delirium if it's not rippy.

If you play HC you might want to use Meat Shield so that your support minions stand next to you.

If you use Feeding Frenzy, they will run away and hit the monsters. This will give you the FF buff. The buff applies to all minions.

"

While you have the Feeding Frenzy buff, all of your minions have 10% more minion damage, 15% increased movement speed, 15% increased attack speed and 15% increased cast speed.

They do stack. PoH has insane damage but you are significantly squishier.

And insane range. If 3.10 isn't as rippy as 3.9, then PoH might be really good for Delirium mechanic since it can off-screen clear.

When combined with Spell Echo Support, it adds a 3rd repeat with a total of 105% more Damage. The effective DPS multiplier (including the more cast speed) of a 20/0 Spell Echo Support is 1.53, Greater Spell Echo Support effective DPS multiplier is 1.35, and of both together is 2.33.

The third repeat also has 150% increased AOE. You can see in the picture how big it is.

Never use Soul's Wick. It adds a 20 second duration to the spectres. They will despawn so quickly and be completely useless for this build.

Bitterbind gives level 1 arcane surge (10% more damage) but you need to get a crit first. The problem is the necro has almost no crit chance and spectres will kill most monsters before you get a chance to hit them!

For me, the main upgrade is level 21 Raise Spectre gem, +1 spectre boots and +1 int amulet. This will give level 25 Raise Spectre for a total of 5 spectres. More spectres = more damage and better map clearing.

After that, Devouring Diadem, then Pledge of Hands (if survivability isn't a problem in this league).

Why don´t you use unending hunger?

I don't mention it in my video because I wanted it to be a true league starter / SSF guide. But I have it in the jewel section as a recommended unique jewel.

About SSF, I think I've only dropped Unending Hunger once in my life. And last league it cost 1-2ex. It's a really nice upgrade, but I would spend my currrecy on other things first.

Is there a viable alternative for Armageddon Brand? I really don't like brand skills.

How about Firestorm? It has a nice big aoe and you can cast and run away. It has 3.1 sec duration with my build.

So should we be running with Wrath + Skitterbots up (i.e. only 15% unreserved mana) while levelling?

I did a test run to update the guide. I had 123 mana. So 15% unreserved is enough to cast everything you need (flame dash, convocation, etc). No worries :)
