One of the CHEAPEST and TANKIEST starters! - Detonate Dead Necro Leaguestarter w/@dslily [PoE 3.20]

---------------Leveling--------------- Level with spark and orb of storm until maps AND vaal DD (if you don't get vaal dd you can still try to use DD or stick with spark until you get it, personal preference) You can also level with arma brand + crema if you prefer that, just make sure to click fire damage nodes on the tree instead of lightning. Make sure you level Desecrate, your damage directly scales with the level of desecrate ---------------Spectres--------------- The build works by casting Desecrate and Detonating the corpses that you spawn. To deal single target damage you need to detonate high life corpses which can be spawned using Desecrate with high life spectres summoned. To maximize single target we also have lots of ailment duration combined with carefully timed Vaal Detonate Dead usage to achieve large ignites that last 12+ seconds. Area + zone level will dictate your damage, you effectively deal similar damage in a 68 zone as an 84 zone because the corpse life scales with zone level. As of 3.17 you only need to raise 1 spectre, the highest life one possible, then you can unequip Raise Spectre and its supports. The raised spectre remains in your Desecrate/Unearth corpse pool even after it dies and without RS equipped. ---------------Extra tips--------------- Get these two Unveil mods on chest and helm: - Helm: "% increased Duration of Ailments you inflict while Focused" (random Helm unveil). This is EXTREMELY noticeable for longer lasting ignites, get this for endgame bossing. Use in conjunction with Vaal DD. - Chest: "6% of Physical Damage from Hits taken as Fire / Lightning Damage" (Gravicius unveil). Important for phys reduction! ---------------Gear--------------- All of your armour is basically just rares + life + spell suppression which can be crafted with essences until you get a good life roll and spell supression Weapon is crafted with essences of fear until you hit fire dot multi and then you can multi mod, or alt spam t1 fire multi -> regal -> annul bad mod -> multimod If you want to fit in a purity for doing uber bosses you can use a shaper shield with reservation efficiency or +max res shield --------------Skill Rotation-------------- Desecrate -> Vaal Detonate Dead if it's up -> Flame Surge -> keep desecrating every few seconds so there is a corpse to explode -> Focus Mod before Vaal DD ends -> desecrate -> regular detonate dead -> flame surge -> repeat --------------Spectre Info-------------- Raise Spectre's most recent monster types are now saved to your character and may be Desecrated. The size of this list is capped by your Spectre limit. Desecrate and Corpse Walk now have a static 15% chance to spawn a Spectre Corpse, rather than a 2x relative weighting compared to all other possible corpse types. Spectre versions of monsters that have very high life total are now brought down to match Kitava's Herald monster HP %. TL;DR: Get an Auric Colossus or Auric Champion from Act 3 Solaris Temple Level 2 or kitava's herald from cathedral roof top You can throw away your Spectre gem after you summon one. Explanation: All Spectres should be capped at 360% Life, meaning you can get any monster that is 360% Life or above. (Same as Kitava's Herald) You only need one, desecrate has a static chance to spawn Spectre corpses. The monster type will get saved to your character, your desecrate pool will not lose it even if you unequip the gem.
