{3.10} Speaker for the Dead | The Mass Minion Summoner | League Starter, Leveling Guide 💀

I'm trying to figure out the Mistress of Sac, Spirit offering, Desecrate mechanic. Let me rephrase that. I understand the mechanic but I'm trying to understand the math.

OP states:

"

To solve this, we use the Mistress of Sacrifice ascendancy combined with L1 CWDT (Level 1 Cast When Damage Taken Support) to trigger a L1 Desecrate and a L8 Spirit Offering. Mistress causes our Offerings to affect us, and the key component of Spirit Offering for us is it grants 3% of Life as Extra Energy Shield per consumed corpse, up to 15% for 5 corpses.

We can achieve ~2000 flat life, ~200% life, and ~200% ES. So Spirit Offering works out to grant us (2000 * 0.15 * 5 =) 1500 ES. This not only increases our total ES, but also heals our ES for the same amount. Meaning we gain 1500 ES back every time Spirit Offering triggers.

The Gem states that Minions gain 4% of their max life as extra max energy shield per corpse consumed.

I don't understand the OPs math at all. He's using 3%, maybe that was pre 3.7?

I think its supposed to be Max life * .04(Gem) * 5(corpses per desecrate) * .75(Mistress sacrifice depletion) ?

Also the OP uses flat life? Are we supposed to use flat life or our TOTAL life with multipliers?

Lets say we have 2000 flat life, 6000 total life.

Flat life = 2000*.04*5*.75 = 300
Total life would be then 900.

Am I understanding this wrong?

Look like a great build. But you can't say it's a 3.8 ready. The node path is outdated, the ascendency is outdated, no mention of oil or any mechanic or new gem skill from the new league. I'm a bit disapointed you only renamed your post as an update.
you should let it to 3.7 or whoever know since which league you are doing this.
If I missed them i'm sorry, but prove me wrong.

Look at the First 3 Lines on the FIRST page of the build...

Hey can anyone tell me how to fit discipline into this build? I wanna keep skitterbot's somehow but i have no idea.

I love the fact that people still cant see the build update link even when theres a bunch of arrows pointing to it

I use Kitava's Heralds with GMP. Thou they do only physical damage.

Hey quick question regarding EE:

I like to Cyclone through mobs because of the "Life Gain on Hit" (and otherwise gameplay would be a bit..boring :D).
However, Hatred gives Cyclone Cold Damage..

Is the intended gameplay to cyclone next to the mobs so that Ball lightning hits anything? This seems a bit clunky to me in theory, i dunno :( Or do i miss something?

Build is great btw!! :)

We link Hatred with Generosity Support so that Hatred doesn't affect us, only our minions. So the only elemental damage we deal should be lightning, from the Ball Lightning trigger, to work with EE.

@bisrop run generosity support with hatred, fixed the issue.

Edit: the moment i posted this the person above mentioned it alrdy :)

Thanks for the fast response, this fixed it :)
