Hey all, this is the necro penance brand build I've been running since week 1. The core idea is to use 2x storm secret to automatically trigger VD and desecrate. With the new HoT breakpoint and the new VD of seething gem, this method of corpse consumption can max out corpse pact for the full 200% cast speed. This automated corpse consumption method also synergizes well with the brand play style.
The mageblood is completely unplanned. Before mageblood, I was using a graven's secret and without MOM/EB. IMO, graven is very competitive against mageblood since it completely mitigates the storm secret self damage and gives something like 25% more damage from the additional power charge.

Some notes:
- Shock effect is set to 50% because this build does achieve 50% shock on uber sirus
- # of corpses consumed is conservatively set to 80. It technically can reach 100, but pinnacles don't usually survive long enough to actually let me ramp to 100.
- I use swiftbrand for both mapping and bossing. The 50% increased duration from necro helps mitigate the downside
- Mapping is butter smooth between HoT and inpulsa explosions
