Hey!

I am loving this build. I played necro a lot of times before and I got the idea to use detonate dead without minions, this build is doing exactly that! This is my tankiest character ever and I am still on a budget version (~4 ex in total).

I have a question for you: I have just reorganized my whole tree to look like your end-game PoB but now I cannot run the 4 auras (determination, malevolence, tempest shield, and defiance banner) all at the same time. Should I be running all of them all the time? If yes, where do you get mana reservation efficiency outside your passive tree?

Thanks for the answers and thanks for this build!

You should be able to run all of the auras if you have a well rolled Ashes of the Stars.

IDK how but I'm able to get 4 auras plus a low level clarity, which gives me enough mana to cast spells (I abandonned Shield Charge). Another thing I did is adding mana recoup on the ring. And another idea is that CWDT should be kept at a higher level if mana is really a problem (to prevent CWDT spamming the mana pool).

Question 1 here is that I die too often from bosses. I find it really hard to play against the guardians (the elder one with lightening damage is a nightmare). My current armour is 21840, 4800 hp/2400 es, capped 75/80/75+75 resistances. The only solution I can see now is to swap the amulet with a rare one with flat life and % armour increase, but that is a huge loss to the dps, what should I do?

Q2: Does flammability help?

I can't seem to look at your profile, but with Aegis Aurora and block capped the Eradicator (lightning guardian) shouldn't even hurt.

Flammability is damage. Always helps :P

I used to be able to run all 4 auras before I changed my passive tree from the levelling PoB to the endgame PoB. Thanks, I'll try that amulet.

Related question: is there a point in a budget Enlighten? I got a level 2 for 1.5 ex (the most expensive piece of my budget build until now) but it barely gives me any reservation efficiency (currently 96%) and it's already corrupted. Should I keep levelling it? I thought it would give some crazy mana reservation for the price, but it's gain is barely visible now.

The new amulet actually just replaces level 4 enlighten. But you might as well level it up to 3.
I finally got lvl 96 corpses. Flexing more than useful nut happy :)

100% true ahah.

Thanks :))

[edit] my char is now finished, at least to the amount of min maxing i dare to do. For those of you doing this build, feel free to check him and ask me questions if you want. It's basically the same core ideas but with inquis-tank-regen and blackflame for chaos ignite at the cost of some dps and probably higher gear-threshold. Char name is Chlurpte
