Extra notes on the build:

1: Don't play it. No, seriously. This build sucks. It's definitely the worst investment of currency I've ever done in this game (worse than the Cats on Crit joke video). There are way better corpse explosion builds out there, I just wanted to actually make this stupid Aukuna raise zombie-detonate build since Legion.

2: Some extra stuff about the build that I couldn't fit into the video -

  • Devouring Diadem was intended to clean up extra corpses lying around so you would only consistently blow up freshly summoned zombies. Witch has garbage access to life nodes unless you travel down to the Scion wheel, so I thought maybe I could make things work by using EB-MOM with some ES leech.

  • This was kind of where I tried buying Timeless jewels, namely a Doryani Vaal Timeless jewel. Let's just say Corrupted Soul isn't that great with EB + MOM unless you have a massive mana pool. The jewel does give some spell life leech and max cold resist, but not enough to carry the build. You can see at the end of the video Corrupted Soul's 50% non-chaos bypassing ES is kinda shit against oneshots.

  • Detonate Dead explosion damage isn't easy to scale since spell damage doesn't apply to it, only generic aoe/fire/elemental/crit bonuses. I had hoped scaling zombie health would be enough, but nope. This is why I used Cinderswallow Urn - besides making ignited enemies take more damage it gave pretty good life/mana/ES recovery on kills.

If you can make this build (CoC Raise Zombie into DD) work better, let me know. I'm curious to see what I could have done better but with D2 Shadowkeep coming I don't have the time or currency to keep pouring into this meme.
