Banished Lord's Talisman is no longer best in slot thanks to the nerfs to Overpower. Instead we dip into the Shadow Multipliers given to us by Aspect of Decaying Humerus as well as abuse the newly buffed 
Melted Heart of Selig
Essence in the build is generated from the interaction between Life on Hit, Melted Heart of Selig, and 
Starlight Aspect. Melted Heart of Selig will lower our Maximum Life which allows the newly buffed Life on Hit to heal 200% of our total Maximum Life, which in turn gives us multiple triggers of Starlight Aspect.
Life On Hit is incredibly strong in this build, as the 
Imprisoned Spirit's Aspect not only doubles our number of 
Bone Spirit, but that extra Bone Spirit will also then trigger another set of Phasing Poltergeist's Aspect hits. Which In all it allows us to hit 8 times per target (4 times in the Speed Farm variant) with a single cast of bone spirit, allowing us to gain infinite essence from Starlight Aspect.
Requirements
This build has some requirements to come fully online, and they are important to reach but not too hard to reach. Thanks to 
Supreme Bone Storm, Ghastly Bone Spirit and 
Blood Moon Breeches, the crit requirement is fairly easy to hit.
Bone Spirit Cooldown Reduction - How To Spam Bone Spirit
The goal is to aim to have your Bone Spirit on a low enough cooldown that the combination of 
Rapid Ossification and your Cooldown Reduction gets your Enhanced Bone Spirit below the 7 second CD refund on Enhanced Bone Spirit in your skill tree.
Max Essence
Maximum Essence is the highest scaling stat in the game for Bone Spirit thanks to both its direct scaling with it, Rapid Ossification lowering our cooldowns with it, and Melted Heart of Selig doubling our Maximum Essence. It is worth getting it wherever you can.
Essence Generation
It was explained before, but its so important to the build that I wanted it to have its own section again to emphasize.
Essence in the build is generated from the interaction between Life on Hit, Melted Heart of Selig, and Starlight Aspect. Melted Heart of Selig will lower our Maximum Life which allows the newly buffed Life on Hit to heal 200% of our total Maximum Life, which in turn gives us multiple triggers of Starlight Aspect.
Uniques
Path of Trag'Oul: Extra Ranks of Bone Spirit, Maximum Essence, and additional armor just makes these irreplaceable.
Blood Moon Breeches: Massive Crit damage multiplier. The crit chance also helps reach 100% crit chance.
Shroud of False Death: 1 to all passives as well as a high HP and all stat roll makes this item give way too much tankiness and damage to pass up.
Crown of Lucion: This gives one of the highest damage bonuses we can get, and without any of the downsides as we're already spending all our essence. It even has cooldown reduction on it!
Mythic Priority Order
Melted Heart of Selig > Shroud of False Death
Elixirs
If you need more of any specific resistance or armor, use those elixirs first. Once your armor capped and resistance capped, look to use the Elixir of Resourcefulness for 25 extra maximum resource. There is no other Elixir you want to use, this is that strong.
Incenses
For incense you have a couple of options, depending on what your character needs.
Core Stat
- Sage's Whisper: Generally the best option as it gives the most amount of damage.
- Spiral Morning: Not a bad alternative, as the all stat gives some armor and also helps hit breakpoints in paragon tree. Only use if there's specific paragon nodes you're trying to reach.
Resistance
- Soothing Spices: Best all around option as it gives +10% all resistances and +2% max resistance to everything. Only use another option if needed to hit resistance caps.
Defensive
- Song of the Mountain: Great early game option for the +300 Armor
- Reddamine Buzz: Gives +750hp, best option if you are already armor capped.
Mercenary
In general Subo gives the most damage via high uptime on Cover Fire. However if you are low on resistances you can pick up Raheir for a smaller amount of damage but lots of all res. For our support we are always using Varyana with Bloodthirst for extra attack speed.
