I do not currently sustain ES at all (as I have previously stated). Right now I have Ghost Reaver only for a little extra ES recovery (using ES Leech Support as I am always leeching ES). Though I probably don't even need this.

I use Kitava's Thirst (check latest video)
I use Mind Over Matter
I DO NOT use Corpse Pact
I cannot currently sustain mana or life while corpse pact is active and instead have taken Commander of Darkness for the time being.

When I get Glorious Vanity/Corrupted Soul I'll start sustaining ES much more effectively. I do not think it is reasonable to try to sustain ES fully on lower budgets right now.

And uhh...you'll notice NOT having Bone Offering up. Just because you take some big hits (thanks delirium death effects) doesn't mean it's not doing its thing. I have 73/46 block with Bone Offering up right now. I played without the Offering until after Uber Lab and it made a HUGE difference in survivability.

Anyways, TL:DR -

Trying to sustain ES without Glorious Vanity, ES on hit, and/or a bigger ES pool is a fool's errand. Use ES leech passive points on life/damage. Drop Discipline and just use Herald of Ash+nothing or Zealotry and Mind Over Matter.


Took your advice and specced out of ES Leech and dropped Discipline and specced into more damage, picked up Kitava's Teachings and sustain is good. I can zip around without needing to pop potions and damage increase is huge. I accidentally leveled my Stone Golem out of CwDT. Once I fix that build is pretty solid feeling again. I need to get more Life though so I don't get one-shit while I'm spinning.

Does Corrupted flesh appear on Pain Attunement regardless of the roll? Is it enough that it's Doryanis Glorious Vanity?


Just needs to be Doryani name.
Can this do elemental reflect?

Not as a Necromancer. I just save ele reflect maps for the no reflect damage taken sextant mod.
One last question - I only have a 5 socket 5 link staff of the martyr and don't have a gem slot on either ring - is the CWDT uneart/GMP setup only useful after you have the awakened support gem? Asking as I need another slot to run zealotry.

Also, at what point do you recommend using both HoA and Zealotry?

Here is my current setup - other than a non-tabula, what should I go for next?

Thanks for all your speedy replies

I'd swap out controlled destruction for energy leech. It's the same damage multiplier for as long as you have ES as with Scold's you'll never be on full until you get your Glorious Vanity and ES recovery up (ES on hit basically). And no crit chance loss :)

If you have issues with going out of mana, just bench zealotry. I occasionally just turned it on for bosses and ran HOA only for clearing.

Once you get Glorious vanity you can drop MoM and pick up Ghost Reaver Again.
So don't pick up ghost reaver with energy leech support until I have glorious vanity?
Hello there, i have been following this guide. I gotta say it has been a blast. I was wondering, whats your opinion on the new cluster jewels? Especially the overlord notable which grant us a permanent fortify

I don't think it's worth spending so many points to get that one specifically as the small nodes do nothing for us. That said there are some nice ones that I'm looking at. These are the ones I liked when they first released the noteables to us. I haven't really taken a hard look at how much investment would be required for them though.

Start using Energy Leech asap.

Ghost Reaver may or may not be useful to you. Depends on how much ES you have really. It's 2 points for essentially 10% ES recovery per second and that helps mitigate some incoming damage. For me I had 1k ES and that amounted to 100es per second...which is not much.
Hi Sir,

I got the 8 link staff as you mentioned (gawd its expensive). Yay lvl 96 now. gonna try to hit 97.

Question: Do I swap out Spell Cascade Support for Combustion Support on the pseudo 8 link staff for Bosses ? After i Hit 96 , I started experimenting on bosses and didnt really care if I died as I had just newly leveled.

what do you recommend? i normally have trouble with bosses that have phases (usually I just switch to my Pyroclast miner when its a boss fight for safety but would rather not go thru the hassle).




Am sorry, i dont know how to post my gear links. Any tips on how to do so ?

my 8 link has socketed gems are supported by lvl 18 cast while channeling
and socketed gems are supported by level 16 power charge on critical strike

Also another question :

how do i get to run the Herald of Ash Aura using my current gear setup? im only running Discipline, Clarity and Zealotry. Losing out a lot of Boss DPS because of this.

I also only have 1 golem (dont know how to summon 2 golems)


thanks sir !!!!!! a TON !
