Thanks for viperesque for suggesting me this build.

This build is prone to more iterations and changes, it is not final and I would say copy my build at your own risk and accord. This is not a cheap build because of the mandatory stuff it needs (voidforge + abyss jewels)

​

- CONCEPT

In murderous eye jewel, T1 phys only gives you this stat "(7–8) to (9–10) Added Physical Damage with Sword Attacks". Meanwhile, in minion T1 phys, it gives you (23-26) - (33-39) phys. This is basically triple of the phys damage that you can normally get on normal voidforge builds. With Adorned, the phys damage scales so high to the build it is screaming broken. Here is an example of what one of my jewel looks like https://imgur.com/a/uhYDvNr.

Basically we abuse the phys gain as extra from voidforge from animate weapon of self reflection using this approach to deal massive amount of damage.

​

- DEFENSES

For the defenses I use the Bloodnotch + Immutable Force + Petrified blood approach to solve recovery on the build. Then it is further boosted using Fourth's Vow + Divine Flesh. This allows me to do wave 30 sims consistently, but deaths are still expected because of the mods that can be really dangerous, and at the moment I do not have crit immune (Because I don't want my AG to die lol)

Alternatively, you can also use bone offering for your build, without any block investment, my build is able to hit 71/65 block purely from bone offering + rumi's

​

- ITERAIONS / VARIANTS

Although i am currently using Necromancer ascendancy, I believe Ascendant ascendancy would be the best for softcore setup purely because of the jewel sockets and extra passives that scion could get. Having one more extra abyss jewel is a big difference for the build.

Alternatively, if you want more damage instead of survivability, you can opt in for Brass Dome + Elegant Hubris setup for minion damage. For even higher damage, you can use Dialla's and put your animate weapon on your chest piece. But be careful of weapon swapping, i would recommend you to disable that.

​

- IMPORTANT NOTE:

Since we are using devouring diadem, IT CAN CONSUME YOUR CORPSES. Especially when you are removing items due to attributes or gem levels like ashes, be careful of devouring eating your corpse away when you are summoning specter from corpses. Because I have lost my Perfect Forest Tiger (6d at the time) due to this silly mistake. Raising your specter on value order is important, because the last specter you summon will also be the last specter that will drop on the floor if you accidentally removed a specter count from levels or whatever.
