[3.10] Gryph's Volatile Dead Necromancer || Fun, Medium Budget, Tanky, Millions of DPS

If this is true, then I'm glad I was able to experience this build in metamorph.

RIP

No delilol for me :/

I believe the build is now dead due to the changes to spirit offering ?

Glad I got to play this to 36/40 on Metamorph.

I hope alternatives can be found.

Refraining from commenting on this until official patch notes are out but....


I think Poet's Pens with Spellslinger will be absurd with Volatile Dead.

Can do Desecrate+Spell Cascade in 1 pen and VD on a 6L Spellslinger. Can either drop the other Pen for a shield or big stat wand, or put Unearth+GMP+Bodyswap in the second pen.

Can keep the same current common setup with dual pens with VD+Conc+Spell Cascade in the second pen and just add a Bodyswap Spellslinger for mobility.

Can have a 6L Cremation Spellslinger too maybe. So many options and it all depends on the numbers that we don't have yet but there are definitely options going forward.

As for sticking with Scold's there are some options available but I don't know if Necromancer will be the best place for it or not. The other options typically involve a lot of leech/regen.

Where did we hear about Spirit Offering from?

Shhhhhh...They're watching...and deleting posts...Just wait for the official patch notes/balance manifesto. But let's just say that it is highly likely that Spirit Offering is getting nerfed to the ground.

That feel when you held out from playing this build too much last league to league start with it this league..
All I can say is that my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Spirit Offering
Repeated, rapid casting of Spirit Offering was far too efficient as a means of protecting and recovering Minion Life (and player Life through Mistress of Sacrifice). This still provides valuable protection for minions without it being significantly better than almost every other tool available.

No longer grants a portion of the minion's maximum life as Energy Shield.
Now grants +20% to Chaos Resistance at gem level 1, up to +30% at gem level 20.




Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

SO, is ir rip for the build? =/
