Now rocking through high tier maps with relative ease as Berserker. I wanted to ask you about Spell Cascade though. Based on DPS numbers alone, spell cascade on VD seems to way outshine conc. effect (even assuming switching to additional corpse enchant, which would mean losing wave enchant). Are there non-direct dps factors that contribute to it being worse outside of necromancer? Such as spawning too many orbs too quickly thus hitting cap, or not always spawning the full 9? I've been trying to test myself through different maps, and maybe I'm biased, but it ends up feeling like Cascade is better. If it feels better for you, then just use spell cascade ;) I now added this question to FAQ, because it comes up often. You can read my full answer there.

So where is the 3.10 passive tree at? ... its only the 3.9 For the Scion not the necro :: Man in black fled across the desert, and the gun slinger followed" Last edited by N3_PH#7256 on Mar 25, 2020, 8:28:22 PM	Posted by N3_PH#7256 on Mar 25, 2020, 8:25:58 PM Quote this Post

Open 3.9 tree in PoB, at the bottom there will be a nice little button "Convert to 3.10". Click the button and you'll have yourself a 3.10 tree.

As i said in OP, all builds are still fine. Corpse pact is not doubling the amount of balls, spell cascade does.	Posted by 1337fun#2733 on Mar 31, 2020, 10:14:00 AM Quote this Post

Hello, I have another question that has been bothering my recently: Does having an additional spell (like Wave of Conviction) or a curse in descerate's PP have an effect on our cast rate for the desecrate and VD due to having an additional castable spell?

Yes, but that is not a problem, if you don't use cascade on VD and have desecrate above that other spell in the wand. Proc loop 1st attack: desecrate + cascade. # of corpses on the ground = 10 2nd attack: VD. # of corpses on the ground = 7(6 with enchant) 3rd attack: wave of conviction 4th attack: VD. # of corpses on the ground = 4(2 with enchant) loop reset Last edited by 1337fun#2733 on Apr 8, 2020, 5:23:18 AM	Posted by 1337fun#2733 on Apr 8, 2020, 5:22:35 AM Quote this Post
