ЕвгенийКостюкевич-т7в: Seems like Cwc cyclone volatile dead zooming incoming

erickraudi8661: something to consider: in case you don't want to use volatile dead, you could use The Queen's Hunger to trigger offerings and consume corpses automatically. I don't know if it works with spell cascade, but if it works, that would be 15 phantasms every 5 seconds. With prolonged servitude plus blessed rebirth, you would get at least 30 minions alive all the time, usually more, as long as there are corpses.

If you really want to automate everything, you can use the corpsewalker boots and just keep walking to have corpses nearby.

reinw2328: the soulwrest interaction might not survive lmao, otherwise this is legit the strongest caster setup this league

charlottesdad3327: This will be the CWC setup from the witch with the added black cane. You don't do any self casting of any of those skills like you showed. Cyclone - CWC - Desecrate then whatever damage spells and supports you want. Your phantasms auto spawn to their limit and you just let them do all the damage. The added benefit of the black cane ascendancy will be to whatever damage spells you link to the CWC setup in your body armor. It just makes a strong witch build more viable although it was viable last league as well with the dark monarch and congregation. You do a poison conversion to the phantasms in your Soulwrest which doesn't have to be linked to work since all support gems support the Level 25 Phantasms.

lordm31: The goat uploaded

MWaever: 4k added flat damage is archmage/manstacking levels of added damage. This could indeed pop off pretty hard.

Olden_son: Had an evening walk, and got (i think) a genius idea.

Arcanist Brand Foulgrasp DD Greater Devour Greater Spell Cascade Concentrated Effect

AND

Increased CDR Automation Brand Recall on Pragmatism Body armour

0 Button Build with automatic Phantasm Generation and outrageous Flat on Foulgrasps (around 4800 per hand x30 max hands) AND you kinda double dip into this added damage by adding it to DD and Foulgrasps . What you think about that? I think people sleep on Foulgrasp Brand Recall combo, especially with Pragmatism, especially if Volatile Orb goes core, you can roll 15 lvls on Body, netting with 9 to Brand Recall and Automation

UPD: Wish Ascendancy Tattooes go core, so we could snipe Triggerbots for this setup

UPD 2: Adding Enhance to Brand Recall setup is better only if its Enhance 4 , for 24% quality to Brand Recall and Automation

Killswitch_KEM: You had me at Volatile Dead. Still one of the best spells in the game. Used it on a Spellslinger Witch in the Ancestors event and it's solid even by itself.

catmankitty9504: cant wait for soulwrest to be 30d the first week

Nimroc: Honestly the melding node is probably at it best for builds that don't use the dawnbreaker node, since the ones using that can just get to 100% of cold/lightning taken as fire/chaos without using sublime vision or an actual dawnbreaker shield.

Though it does require both watcher's eye and bound by destiny.

Jackstrap9: Reddit and content creators will get this nerf pre-launch

Olden_son: Kinda sad that Phantasmal Might adds damage to spells, but not attacks. We have so much sourced of added spell damage, but very little to attacks...

StellarisVT: Thoughts on running a life stacker setup on reliquarian with the apostate and black cane nodes? Having a free chest slot while having apostate effect seems fucking CRAZY strong, and black cane gives a lot of flat damage for rathpith to juice. Was thinking abt spark with it but not totally sure. Would mean dropping soulwrest but sparks hitrate is so high that you should get crazy phantasm uptime.

ggw1776: I was going to league start VD elementalist, now I'm thinking I might need to do scion lol

yammoto148: I love all the changes they added for the Reliquarian. But I am more interested in going an explosive concoction build with the flask bonus on the bottom and the free covered in ash/covered in frost from the last node. Won't be top dps but I think it takes some of the clumsiness out of a concoction build and lets you play something other than Pathfinder. Also the free Filedeltias spike and chain bonus on the last node makes Arc Scion seem pretty good, probably won't beat out Arcmage Hierophant Arc in the late game but might have better clear speed early on. This new tree does have a lot of potential.

deliriumcamper: Why dont they just call this ascendancy the Dreamcore ascendancy. Seems made for you

SkoomaMicrodosing: You clowns should stop calling everything "tech", it's getting really annoying.

cbake52: What about bubonic trail to consume corpses as you walk if you want to play a phys spell like exsanguinate?

anathema1828: Thanks for posting!

Vegan-sj1cv: i have a build idea. incinerate of venting which is very high dps with the added damage, cast while channeling desecrate and volatile dead of seething, you are consuming over 7 corpses a second. Easy perma 62 phantasms even on bosses which is the weakness of the greater devour route.

J_J_HD: Nice Video, i will love to play volatile dead again, was one of my favorit builds back then when Spellslinger was really good. I hope they dont destroy it bevor launch.

naju332: i am looking forward to you making an op build of this

travisrichards1: Very nice, Volatile Dead isn’t one of my favorites but still cool idea.

balazsfenyes3880: Reliquarian is out? yaaay. I want to do reliquarian if it has good ascendancies or the new transfigured reap build that looks promising. I think reap must wait because zoomancer entered PoE 1 too.

Why selfcast when u can put desecrate on automation and use cast while channeling cyclone volatile dead like everyone ever using volatile deadXD

jeromesimkiss4706: Excellent video, you're at your best with these build idea tutorials, mate.

WuRaidr: might role multiple reliquarians

humnnbean: There’s no shot this makes into the update
