Trying out the build...got alittle bored with zombies...lol...Things seem to be going good so far...surprisingly strong build...however not sure if its been addressed but current pob seems to be dex starved..also as I have tried to import certain items into pob (aul's)..im coming up dex starved as well and I don't see any additional dex/all attributes on any of your current gear or tree also...


Brutal Restraint Timeless Jewel (Akhara of Deshret) near Devotion will fix the DEX issue. But this is expensive. Before I get this jewel, I had 50 dex in my amulet.

@Gryphenprey thanks for the build guide. I'm following this since the first version (self-cast) and once I switched to Cyclone It got sooo much fun. This is one of the funiest and strongest build I ever made. :)

As has been stated, I get most of my dexterity from my Brutal Restraint jewel. Prior to that, I got it on my jewelry. Thankfully we only need 100 dex for a level 21 Volatile Dead.
Amazing Build, thanks alot for sharing!




Any suggestions what to improve?

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it. Your belt is really sweet!

Start by adding a Spell Damage/Extra Chaos Damage roll on your staff.

Otherwise, it's all little thing I think. I would probably start with a better Scold's Corruption (10% mana multiplier or Fire damage leech for example) or an enchanted one.

Enfeeble/Ele Weakness on hit corruption on gloves

T1 Life gain on hit from Spells on the ring(s)

I don't think the ES on kill is of much use for us, so I might go for a multimodded Spell Crit Chest for more ES

Spoiler

Spell Crit
multimod
Flat ES
ES%
10% of life as Extra ES
Suffix of choice (Quality/Resists)



Level 21 Raise Specter (3 specters) instead of Zombies. I use 2 Proximity Shield Heretical Guardians (A10 Desecrated Chambers) and 1 Ruins Hellion for his Rallying Cry from A8 Quay. The Rallying Cry is nice for a consistent taunt (not just when your minions hit monsters...as that really never happens)

Really appreciate your feedback!
I already farmed the required Betrayal content to craft spell/chaos on the staff. Been corrupting gloves, 20 up to now, no luck yet :P

Yep, i picked up the chest for 2ex, but still looking for a better one.
Same goes for the Ring(s).
Does the Mana Multiplier Corruption work on Auras? Has it always been like that? I seem to recall it didn't work in the past... but maybe I'm mistaken.

I was contemplating between Spectres and Zombies... really never understood how that Spectre Gem works and how to summon high level spectres e.g. (especially specific ones :D)

Thanks again!

The mana multiplier does in fact, work on auras. Same way as Enlighten gem. For some reason PoB doesn't figure it in.

As for specters...it's based on the gem level. They never actually die. But yeah, just go to the zone where they spawn, cast desecrate and hold A to corpse target and find the specter you want.

Absolutely. Just waiting for patch notes to see what gets nerfed and how it effects this build.
help me what i am doing wrong:

i setup this
cyclone > cast while channeling > volatile dead > controlled destruction > elemental focus

cwdt > desecrate > spirit offering > spell cascade

i have scold's bridle and doedre's tenure

however when i do cyclone, the desecrate does not trigger, does it has to be manually cast before i cyclone?

thanks,
