PoE Dark Pact builds

Are people sleeping on dark pact as a league starter for 3.17, or is it just too weak. I know, there are the EAs and Nightblade/elusive builds, but dark pact seems to be super strong with no investment whatsoever. No uniques required. Random PoB Occ with no gear, lvl 85 and a 5l Dark pact gives me around 1m single target It scales with minion life, crit, chaos dmg, 5 chains. This has to be at least solid. somebody playing it in 3.16?

This is my first own build and only a THEORY CRAFT until league start. The idea of the build is to self-cast Dark Pact with mana cost of >= 100 to trigger [[Kitava's Thirst]] which then summons the skeletons, casts Desecrate and Flesh Offering, which in return powers the 200% cast speed of corpse pact. I plan to start this league with self casted Skeletons + Dark Pact and transition into this build as soon as it is possible. (need a 6L and [[Fevered Mind]] to hit the 100 mana breakpoint, OR link with archmage gem) Mana regen is gonna be interesting since our Dark Pact costs 100+ mana and

Hi, still the noob trying to cook up a PoB for his brother here. &x200B; I'm learning about Dark Pact Totem and wondering why no one plays Occultist instead of Hierophant? Even with 1 fewer totem she seems to deal an absurd amount of damage more than Hierophant at very scuffed gear. &x200B; Hierophant PoB I made: Occultist PoB I made: Pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, but if I'm not then can someone explains this to me? Pretty desperate to m

With the new recoup nodes, I really want to take advantage of the Forbidden Rite. Any feedback is more than welcomed, thinking of making this my league start. What are your thoughts.

Just got done making my first build for 3.16, figured I'd share. This is NOT a league starter, you will have to do a starter build (probably necro DD) to get the gear to play it. Flasks and stats on rares, excluding required (or really good) rolls, are left blank to be filled as you wish. Rare stats will be maximizing energy shield, capping resists, capping stat reqs, getting minion life rolls, and getting chaos gem levels or chaos damage. NOTE: It is not known how rare or expensive the shield will be, the build can be played without it at approximately ~80% dps

&x200B; A8 Sirus T16 Mapping \(before power charge ramp up it feels bad\) UPDATE 1: added a video for mapping. This is a build I found from a Chinese creator who played last league. However, I didn't find anyone who played it this way on Ninja so I decided to give it a try. Feel pretty strong compare to other builds with similar investment, especially at bossing. The core concept is that Divergent Dark Pact can recover minions 2% life on hit which enabled the poss

POB: Looking into playing dark pact totem as a starter that can scale into end game. With trash gear, lv17 gems, and a 5 link this should do 500K dps. Which can scale to 5.5m dps with investment. Defense is MoM, HP, ES, and the totem play style. Debating between swapping out zealotry for vaal discipline if I feel squishy. Anyone have experience with DP totems? Main thing is I am sure the build will feel very clunky until getting astral projector. Hopefully not unplayble clunky.
