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

Hi I'm interested in trying this build and tried my hand at crafting a staff. Unfortunately 8 trillion aetheric/scorched fossils later and I never even saw +2 or better fire/all skill gems AT ALL, and never saw cast while channeling with ANY decent roll. I got mad and started chaos spamming and ended up with this in 30 chaos plus an annul:



I haven't built the character yet but it looks like in PoB with spell damage/non-chaos as chaos and double damage craft it would be 8.5% less damage than OP's staff (but also loses the power charges and innate block), and 20% more damage than Martyr (but loses the high block chance.) Not positive since I'm not an expert on PoB.

Is this worth multimodding with (67–75)% increased Spell Damage
Gain (7–8)% of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage + (8–10)% chance to deal Double Damage or maybe +(39–45)% Critical Strike Multiplier while a Rare or Unique Enemy is Nearby or (26–30)% chance to deal Double Damage while Focussed?

If it's not worth it for this build, is there another build that might actually use this? Thanks.

That qualifies as a staff worth MMing for sure. Block is just a nice defensive layer that I don't like giving up. But plenty of other players following the build do fine without it. Just go for as much eHP as possible and pass on the Leash of Oblation probably.
Hi, thanks for this build it's really fun to play. I'm playing it with a lethal pride to have Glancing Blows and max block. I'm also using the Cleansed Thoughs passive for the chaos resistance.

I have a question about Ball Ligtning because i will buy a watcher's eye with ES on hit and every one i see on poe ninja link it to the main CWDT setup with Wave of Conviction, Purifying Flame and Combustion. But if i can, would not it be better to link it with Unearth and GMP to have more balls ?

The only downside i see is that i loose some FPS.
Hello, what do u guys think sould be my next upgrade?

I just bought the Aul's, so i know i have to improve a bit my rings and boots, i'm working on it, but i'd like to know what i should i do now...
I was thiniking in try a new staff with CWC, so i could use fire penetration or smthg, but i'm not sure if that would be better than mine or if there is smthg better to up right now (i know my chest is not the best possible, but it's fairly good for me right now, i'd like some more dmg)
I also have watcher's eye with ES on hit
Oh, another question, should i try bone offering + leash?
Thanks

How do you cast VD so fast? In the videos VD casts every second. I have scolds bridle and doedres malevolence but it takes forever to cast VD.

Bone Offering + Leash is great for defense if you can also manage you resists on other gear. I think once you get to the point where you're buying an Aul's it's probably not worth the hassle to try to cover your resistances. You also lose recovery and eHP.

Only way to get more balls is to do that AND use spell cascade support. This is (in my opinion) not worth it.

Make your character profile public and I'll take a look. It could be any number of things.
Just made my characters public.

Yeah you need to get Uber lab done is all. ^^

Also consider getting something better than a tabula. lots of reasonable unique 6L's if you're on a budget.

Ok if i understand correctly with GMP we have more projectiles but still 1 spell. And having more projectiles is not usefull for the ES on hit ?

erm...

I think I misunderstood originally.

YOu can use GMP with Ball Lightning if you want, but it's not really necessary. BL projectiles don't shotgun on single target and 1 projectile is plenty to instantly recover you against packs of monsters.

better to use that socket space for Culling Strike.

Edit: also GMP+BL is a great way to drop FPS even further. lol
