Build Summary

With this build you have a Legion of Undead at your disposal doing hundreds of billions of damage, if you enjoy the summoner playstyle and like to have your minions obliterate everything in your path then this is most likely the build for you.

When it comes to sacrificing the Golem if you wanted to for more survivability/ a bit less damage you could instead use the blood golem with the option for the golem to take 30% of your incoming damage.

What I have here will differ just a bit from what I show in the video, right here I wanted to show BIS choices incase you wanted to optimize the build to the fullest, aside from that just try to replicate as closely as possible for maximum build effectiveness

Build Notes

Gameplay Loop

This is my suggestion for maximum damage while playing the build - 1) Group enemies together with corpse tendrils 2) Pick up blood orbs to give you up to a 50%x damage boost (usually with bloodmist in higher pits) 3) Cast your SoulRift Ultimate Skill for more damage/survivability 4) Remember to constantly be casting raise skeleton for a nice damage boost 5) Also be casting Decompose to trigger our main Boss Power (wandering death's chest beam) Giving us another huge damage boost/ also proc'ing our runes 6) Use Blight in pools of enemies to give us yet another damage multiplier (also feel free to use bloodmist in order to escape sticky situations/stay alive)

How It Works

The build overview is the same as the Gameplay loop - 1) Group enemies together with corpse tendrils 2) Pick up blood orbs to give you up to a 50%x damage boost (usually with bloodmist in higher pits) 3) Cast your SoulRift Ultimate Skill for more damage/survivability 4) Remember to constantly be casting raise skeleton for a nice damage boost 5) Also be casting Decompose to trigger our main Boss Power (wandering death's chest beam) Giving us another huge damage boost/ also proc'ing our runes 6) Use Blight in pools of enemies to give us yet another damage multiplier (also feel free to use bloodmist in order to escape sticky situations/stay alive)
