Build Overview

Army of the Dead is a one of a kind build that uses the unique two-handed sword Sanguivor, Blade of Zir that offers a playstyle completely unique to the build, and with the new Mythic Unique system coming into Season 15, the build has received a massive boost in power to help compensate for the nerfs to Overpower.
Back that up with being extremely easy to play, the highest corpses generation in the game through theCorpse Generation Army of the Dead upgrade, and a host of powerful Aspects like Unyielding Commander's Aspect, and you've got a build thats definitely worth looking at.

With the unexpected but highly welcome buffs seen in Season 15, Army of the Dead is a sleeper pick of the season.

Sanguivor, Blade of Zir makes up the core of the build by stacking up Souls through consuming Corpses through Corpse Explosion to unleash insane amounts of damage.

Army of the Dead also has the Summoner tag to benefit from things like Hellbent Commander Aspect and Unyielding Commander's Aspect.

Resolve stacking is utilized in tandem with Aspect of Interdiction and Aspect of Redirected Force for maximum survivability and damage.

As we are using Splinter of Hellfire as a major damage scaler, Critical Strike Chance because a huge priority for the build.

Mr.selfsestruct•8d ago

the UR rune was removed from the game in the 2.0 ptr , from what diablo wiki says. and how does rolling crit strike on everything work while using the splinter of hellfire which removes 100 percent crit chance? seems to just wasted alot of time building this to realize it stinks and it doesnt work at all...
