[3.13] Detonate Dead Inquisitor League Starter + 10K EHP + Tanky + All Content + Noob Friendly + HC

When you desecrate on any given map instance, it chooses a random handful of corpses from the map's "pool" of total loaded monsters to pull out of the ground.

We turn them into extremely strong firecrackers.

Detonate Dead has two parts.

Part 1) The Spell which deals fire damage to nearby enemies.
Part 2) The Explosion which deals 6% of the monsters life as AoE damage.

There is also Vaal Detonate Dead which is basically the original spell except 9% of damage and the explosions chain. Must be what it's like to be inside a bag of microwavable popcorn!

Some of the Spectres we can find have incredibly large HP pools. I'll have a full list below detailing which ones to aim for and where / how to get them. Don't worry about it for now!

Our defensive layers come from the fact that Inquisitor has received some major buffs in [3.13] Ritual League.

Pious Path makes it so that while standing on Consecrated Ground we have our Life Regeneration applied to Energy shield as well.

We generate Consecrated Ground from the Sanctuary Ascendancy Node and effectively have it applied to us permanently.

This lets us stack a ton of life, which converts to energy shield down the road. We also take a lot of Life Regeneration nodes on the tree and end up with effectively 38-48% of our life regenerated per second.

After you complete your third lab and finish the campaign we start to reach our end-game version of the build.

Basically we use a Glorious Vanity Timeless Jewel (In the name of Doryani) to provide us with a corrupted Keystone called Corrupted Soul.

What Corrupted Soul lets us do is gain 20% of our Maximum Life as Energy Shield while also letting 50% of non-chaos damage through to our health instead of eating at our Energy Shield first.

This, at first, sounds like a huge downside but, in fact, with the combo of Soul Tether on our Belt Slot we gain a new skill called Immortal Ambition which turns the downside into a huge positive.

What Immortal Ambition does is a few things. It makes it so that our Energy Shield doesn't recharge anymore. At first, again, this sounds like a major downside but there are a few other perks that come with it.

We lose 5% of our Energy Shield every second! Wait... that's just another downside...

Energy Shield Starts at 0.. Damn, another downside?

Life Leech effects are not removed at full life! Now we're talking, that sounds useful!

Life Leech effects Recover Energy Shield instead while on Full Life! Now that's a perk if I've ever seen one.

Now remember that Pious Path makes it so that all of our Life Regeneration applies to our Energy Shield as well.

What this essentially means is that if we have any sources of life leech on our build we get something that's effectively equivalent to Overleeching.

I recommend watching Zizaran's Defensive Layers guide to understand why overleech is so powerful in PoE but it effectively aids us in being immortal.

Our Energy Shield and Life are essentially always full and when they aren't we are regenerating them back at about 40% (up to 48ish) of our EHP per second not including our leeching.

Enduring Cry gives us consistent endurance charges as well as almost 4000 ehp over 1 second. We also use Vigilant Strike attached to General's Cry which combos with The Vigil Crimson Jewel on our passive tree. This gives us Fortify for nearly 15 seconds which is a huge bonus.

Fortify grants us -20% damage taken which is incredibly strong.

Oh and we use a shield which lets us block and we use life / energy shield recovery on block to heal 4-5% each time.

When you kill monsters in Path of Exile they will, usually, leave behind their corpse. You can raise a spectre from the corpse consuming it in the process.

What makes this cool is that when you raise a spectre and go to another map the game actually takes that spectre with you! This is beneficial for Detonate Dead as it adds any raised spectres to the 'pool' of monsters that are considered to be in the map!

We want to bring the monsters with the highest health pools with us wherever we go; in order to increase our Detonate Dead's damage as much as possible!

In general, I recommend using two spectres at a time.

There are plenty of high health spectres to choose from.

I will list them in order here:

Primal Crushclaw - 1200% HP - Harvest
Primal Blisterlord - 900% HP - Harvest

WIP (There's a few heist ones in repository if you need to know their names right now. I have to find a list and I dont have one sadly).

HOW TO GET CRUSHCLAW AND BLISTERLORD SPECTRES:

1) Type /global 6666
2) Say "Can someone give me Crushclaw and Blisterlord?".
3) Join party.
4) Tteleport to their hideout.
5) Desecrate
6) Raise Spectre (Hold A to target corpses easier)

HOW TO MAKE A SPECTRE BANK:

0) Raise a Crushclaw and Blisterlord in your Hideout at least once (In the past 15 minutes)
1) Go to Last Town.
2) Talk to Lily
3) Purchase Level 1 Desecrate and Level 1 Raise Spectre
4) Put in Storage
5) Make a Witch on the same league and be sure to click PVP. She will start around level 30 with a bunch of skill points.
6) Path straight up to Death Attunement
7) Desecrate your Hideout
8) Raise a Primal Blisterlord (900% Increased Maximum Life)
9) Raise a Primal Crushclaw (1200% Increased Maximum Life)

This works because hideouts have no mobs in the mob pool by default. Bringing a Raised Spectre to a map (including your hideout) adds your spectre list to the maps "corpse" list.

Hideouts reset their instance after 15 minutes if a player hasn't been in the map.

Hideout Instances DO NOT reset when you log out until after said 15 minutes is up.
