The Decompose skill given from the Corpsewade unique boots is incredibly powerful and scales based on monster health, so you can never be out-scaled by content! It is one of the strongest builds in the game and is very cheap/easy to put together. No 6 link gem is required for the build at all.
The Decompose skill is triggered automatically for each footstep you take, which means you should never stop moving! Corpses will chain off of on one another so all you really need to do is kill one monster, and that can lead to a full map clear.
The only issue is that if your poison clouds are detonated, they will struggle to reach maximum poison stacks. This can only happen if a couple rare monsters are in your map, or if Burning Ground is rolled on your map (you should avoid this). You can still clear this content, but it will take longer.
The weapon swap setup is designed for bossing (and the build can clear all bosses in the game), and also to begin a kill chain in maps. This is done by using Sacrifice which lets you use your Skeletal Brutes as corpses. Once your Brutes are consumed, swap back to normal setup.
UPDATE Trenchtimbre (or any mace) for weapon swap is currently bugged and will disable your clouds. Do not use this until this bug is fixed. Use a shield instead. When this bug is fixed, it will be the best option so perhaps hang onto one.
Several parts of the build were learned from Skadoosh's version. You can find his guide at https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/skadoosh-decompose-pathfinder

PathfinderBuild Overview
Equipment
Minion Skills on Set 1 only help with levels for Grim Feast (which helps survivability). Higher Spirit on a Sceptre is more important than Minion Skills for Set 1.
Minion Skills on Set 2 help to scale the health of you Brutes, which acts as your bossing damage and is very important. You can use a Shield for Set 2 during maps, but Trenchtimbre as offhand will improve boss damage significantly.
Ghostwrithe is a very strong body armour choice, and it does work with Chaos Inoculation. Since there is a very low gear affix requirement for the build, it allows use to use Life affixes on gear to further scale Energy Shield. It is the highest Energy Shield body in the game for this setup, but you may wish to sacrifice Energy Shield in favor of better resists or spirit on a rare jacked instead.
Skill Gems

Str 15
Dex 45
Int 60
Decompose
Eye of Winter
Poisonous Concoction
Shield Charge
Blink
Blasphemy
Withering Presence
Herald of Plague
Grim Feast
Skeletal Brute
Sacrifice
Decompose skill level is based on the item level of the unique Boot. You need level 17 or higher for the final 5th link. The most important link is Magnified Effect to allow corpses to chain a lot better through the map.
Eye of Winter to apply Withering Touch against bosses.
Poisonous Concoction is only used to initiate a kill chain if your minions are currently on rez timer and you have no nearby corpses. It is otherwise not used because it costs 3% Energy Shield to cast because of the Event Horizon passive -- this WILL interrupt your Energy Shield recharge.
Set 1 aura skills:
Blasphemy (x2) - Blink - Withering Presence - Herald of Plague - Grim Feast
Set 2 aura skills:
Grim Feast - Sacrifice - Skeletal Brute (as many as you can cast)
Passive Tree
Set 1 passives
Maximize Area and curses
Set 2 passives
Scale minion life and revive speed
