Path of Exile #49 Test run #21 - Simulacrum

This showcased build is on STADNERD keep that in mind going forward, not everything can be obtained in leaguea. The build shown on youtubeis from https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Seriska/characters Look for the necromancer Seriska This import is done on 23th of april The premise of the build is easy mapping, there is going to be an breaking point where you can become very tanky. This is done by an somewhat outdated method with the Aegis Aurora shield. On block you gain ES and you should gain more ES then you loose. On top of this you choose molten shell with cast when damage taken. Furthermore we choose to decrease the damage we get by raising max resistances to 90. This has actually gotten a lot easyer, as im using mageblood i dont even need to use purity of ice aura. Then also we want to mitigate crit hits, as wel always curse the enemy you can use curse mastery node with 40% reduced damege taken from crits then yo also choose sanctum of thought. Great stuff, however during last patch a lot of the armour values have been nerfed, its tough to get around 40k armour but it can be done. To start of youll want to ascend to the ocultist, you get an extra curse, you get ES regen but most importantly you dont need forbidden flame and forbidden flesh to get the profane bloom ascendancy from the ocultist. Whats going on with the build, i use skitterbots, we have several sources of chilling the enemy so i use the left ring slot for the unique ring: profane proxy This allowes you to use tomporal chains, enemys will be cursed and shocked with this. Eventually from the necromancer ascendancy you will also gain 10 more damage from Mindless Agression and 10 more damage from (and reduction) from plague bringer You will want to use feeding frenzy asap for 10 more damage on the ocultist Then to start make a 6 link summon skeletons, youll get the helmet later but create a staff early on that has an autocast option (see items) Use bone offering, point for point its the best.. try gettting that much block from items or you skill tree.. you simply cant get spell and attack block that easy.. its acytallu OP Sure youll loose 150% ish crit chance from spirit offering.. and crit multi.. but you can get even more crit and crit multi from the skill tree for only 4 skill points, the block is crazy good - its least thats my opinion I stopped using threaad of hope with glancing blows - gets me killed sometimes its not great in certain scenarios. MOst of the time it is, done get me wrong.. just in the situations where AG can get killed this skill also seems to fail me. Full block, boine offering and Aegis aurora, kinda standerd stuff if you watched Ghazzy TV (stay frosty!) But this buiold is made for SPEED and RELIABILITY and then comes dps. The dps on my build is crazy, but thats not that weird considering the items. Anyway, skitterbots curse, minions autoattack targets and proffane bloom kills everything, i stopped using animated guardian because of the volotile enverioments i get myself in. I discovered that either buring ground or degen fields or bleeding will kill an AG with 80k HP and around 60k hp regen, its crazy, i think its bugged but most of all.. at some point my AG died twice in 1 day.. I replaced my AG twice in 1 day and was left with zils, nada, niente. So this build is setup that if you die or anything goes, its easily replaced, at some point i stuck with the stone golem as i needed an minion that carried the feeding frenzy support gem The stone golem also gives regen which converts ES regen with the node zealots oath. Then the golem also taunts, and an taunted anemy does 10 less damage to you. The stoine golem is actually good, doesnt matter if it dies and before boss fights (i usually dont notice hes gone) i resummon him if needed. There is so much going on here, cursed enemys with temporal chains will get unnerved.. you cant get this on an medium cluster anymore, only small cluster jewels. I got the lab enchant on my belt (actually as there arent that much belts enchants, this was pretty easy to get, the helmet enchant however killed some of m brain cells im sure). So we get some additional crit against enemys that way, then there is the flat crit increase from brittlr ground (stacks with aure effect for some reason for a flat 2.4% increase on enemys) and also flat increase from the helmet. The magic skellies do some crits and have a chance to do double damage, which actually freezes bosses sometimes of you dps is high enough (laughed my pnats of about that). The dps is crazy, but its not about the dps, see we pick out a target out of the pack with Signal prey and then also with double curse put snipers mark on them, this makes all the skeletons attack 1 target.. he dead Once 1 target dies, everything goes.. I dont actually need to do this anymore.. but this is great help with early stages. What else, timeless jewel.. yeah this took me a while to find this specific jewel, in this journey i also found other capable jewels but #83700 from Elegant hubris is my favorite Then the Cadiro variant allowes me to use life flask to heal energy shield, fantastic.. then i also use menders wellsrping to gain flask charges and cure bleeding I dont use cure bleed on flasks as it doesnt have an scaling value i instead use corrupted blood cannot be inflicted on you via an jewel on the skill tree. Ive been playing this build with for some time, many revisions, but mostly having a lot of fun. I dont know if its meta when it comes to clearing speed, but its very easy mapping and very fast and i think a lot of fun - and i do love the necromancer. If you have qeustions you know where to find me. Cheers!
