PoE builds similar to [PoE] 3.16 Dark Pact Necromancer day 3 progress in SSF - my thoughts and tips

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?

I'm working on poison Dark Pact for next league. The shared PoB has some issues I am aware of (empower lvl2, under-leveled gems in general, some gear pieces are terrible - especially wand, missing Passive ascendancy jewels). I pulled the gear I had from different builds so it is kinda strange. I am mainly looking for if you guys have ideas for some structural changes, rather than amplifying current state by getting better gear doing the same thing I am doing. maybe some new interactions I don't have, some interesting legendar

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

Lots of upgrades left, but it turned out pretty nice. Currently doing early endgame boss encounters and planning next upgrades.

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

A different take on classic Dark Pact Necromancer with Prism Guardian and Rational Doctrine.

PoB : poe.ninja (may not be updated yet) : ---------- Hello, I've been planning to make this character for the past few months, and I'm glad that it only took me around 10 days on a fresh league to complete it to a reasonnable level.   It's an Occultist built around Dark Pact, which is a skill that can reach insanely high base damage on high life Skeletons. In my current setup, my Skeletons have slightly more than 35k life, bringing Dark Pact's base DPS to 7k, or rather 21k since it chains t

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.

Adapted from some older builds. Never done MOM so idk. I think it looks ok. Shouldn't have much change in 3.19 &x200B;

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
