Build Overview

This build relies on your Minions doing most of your damage while you curse enemies to reduce your cooldowns. Decrepify will reduce the cooldown of all your abilities and allow you to keep your Ultimate Skill Soul Rift active a lot of the time.

How it Plays

Start by casting Decrepify on a group of monsters. Your Minions will start attacking that group. Use Reap to gain attack speed as long as your health is safe. If you've taken damage, stay back and let your Minions do the work.

While all your Minions are alive, cast Raise Skeleton to summon Skeletal Priest to empower your Minions. Once you gain your Golem use your Golem Skill on your bar to gain buffs to your Golem and Unstoppable to yourself.

Soulrift is a great way to keep yourself alive as it gives you Barrier, at the same time it gives you a massive amount of damage. Reduce the cooldown of Soulrift by casting Decrepify.
