Q: Why are you not running a key passive?
A: The key passive you would probably go for is Ossified Essence, but we are not running it because Bone Splinters are procced by Bone Spirit, which drains all of your essence, which makes Ossified Essence, sadly, useless.

How it Plays
0) Cast Bone Storm on CD and Decrepify when needed
1) Cast 1 Bone Spirit in order to create a corpse
2) Cast Corpse Tendrils
3) Cast Blood Mist and stay in it until mobs get pulled in, as soon as they do, positions yourself on top on them, if you are still in Blood Mist when you are on top of them, cast it again to get out of it.
4) Cast Blight
5) Hold down/spam Bone Spirit in order to proc Shattered Spirit's Aspect
6) Repeat
How it Works
- It is extremely important to stay on top on mobs/bosses, because we want every Bone Splinter to hit and not to fly off into the void, it's not easy but definitely doable.
- Spamming Bone Spirit enables the build, not because of the dmg but because we want to constantly proc Shattered Spirit
- Attack speed is super important, same for Bone Critical Strike Damage
Regular legendary boots with Ghoswalker are fine, i decided to go for Flickerstep though because almost every affix/stat works well with the build:
- Movement Speed: Yes please
- Dmg reduction from close enemies: YES PLEASE
- The effect is also great, it feels much smoother and easier to keep Bone Storm up.
- Ultimate dmg: we don't talk about this
Starless Skies is also fine, if you happen to have it, take off the ring with Inner Calm or Conceited Aspect
I wouldn't personally recommend it BUT, if you feel comfortable with the survivability, you can go ahead and switch Rubies for Topazes on gear
FAQ
Paingorger's?: Doesn't work, not scaling with shattered spirit
Adaptability?: Doesn't work, we spend all of our resources via bone spirit. Needs resources to work
Ossified Essence? Same as above
Boots of Trag'Oul? Useless, wasting bone storm CDR from flickerstep and the splinters does not work with shattered spirit
But what about with imprisoned spirit? Shattered spirit says "casting" bone spirit, and this aspect just says explodes. Doesn't work, no extra splinters
Crown of lucion? Doesn't work after PTR, don't use it
