► Yooooooooo, Exiles!
Final update on my Voltaxic Bama Necro.
I did an oopsie on my last video. I was still using Asenath gloves on my AG. I completely forgot that a +1 player / + 1 AG curse does not equal 3 curses. So AG was actually overwriting Assmark or Despair.
Thanks to @rileystrom8530 for reminding me of this in the comments on my last video.
I have now replaced Asenath with Intimidate Gloves which was my actual plan.
I still had some Fragments, so here is some Exarch + Uber Sirus again. I also did test a few support gem combinations, but the "luck-based" nature of this build makes it very hard to accurately judge the supports. Uber Exarch was killed with Conc Effect while Uber Sirus without any gemswap, using Increased Critical Damage Support. I guess at this level of damage you can use whatever and not feel much of a difference.
I added some regular mapping footage and some invitations, so you can see how it plays.

(I did not tick Frenzy/Power, because I think the uptime is questionable on the Prismatic Clones as they don't hit as often as Bombarding Clones)

► The unique mechanics of this build (copied from my last video):
The key feature of this build lies in the synergy between Voltaxic and Prismatic Clones. But before diving into why it's so potent, let's discuss Prismatic Clones. These clones have a minion variant of Elemental Hit, with no base damage unlike its player counterpart. With a staggering damage effectiveness, Prismatic Clones convert 100% of their physical damage to Fire, Cold, or Lightning.
Following the principle of alternating elements, they exclusively deal damage of the chosen element, with no impact from non-selected ones. Unlike the player version, these minions can still inflict chaos damage. However, just like the player elemental hit, all added damage of each element persists on the gem. This flat damage applies even if it isn't of the chosen element, and in that case it's only negated after damage conversion has applied. To leverage this mechanic I am stacking a huge amount of flat lightning damage, which was the goto for BAMA in 3.23, augmented by lucky hits via Perquils Amulet and the huge damage effectiveness of Prismatic Clones.
Now, enter Voltaxic - the star of this build. This bow now converts all that flat lightning damage to chaos, leveraging Prismatic Clones' unique mechanic to deal chaos damage, regardless of the element chosen (Fire, Cold, Lightning). Consequently, there's no need to isolate an element via Combat Focus jewels, making Voltaxic the optimal bow for Prismatic Clones. And Necro is now the perfect Ascendancy for this. GGG addressed a prior issue with Voltaxic in 3.24 - Wither application. Further, the big meaty hits of Prismatic Clones can easily cap out the max shock values of Voltaxic.
