I played (more or less) the same build last league and was surprised that even after the heavy nerfs to DD and unearth it still performed very well. That said it was a fire hit variant (not poison)
Yeah, DD with Chain Reaction is still very strong. GGG only indirectly nerfed it by gutting Desecrate, but other variants, even Archmage, still perform well.
You only need the core unique items for the build to perform well, and after that, you can upgrade based on how much currency you have but I suggest get the watcher's eye and the rings first. Life recovery comes from various sources, such as Bone Offering, Kitava's Teachings, and Life Gain on Hit from a Watcher's Eye.
In pob mana cost is 56 mana and 29 life, does kitava's thirst still trigger? i had to refund the reduce mana cost nodes and take out the inspiration support to make it exactly 101 mana cost and finally kitava;s thirst triggered for me.
It doesn't break the build, but you'll be less tanky and will need to find another way to quickly apply Withered to enemies. Withering Presence from Occultist is too slow in applying Withered. Maybe consider using Withering Step.
That's probably because you didn’t set the correct corpse life. Check here for the Bone Archer corpse life, and be sure to match it with the appropriate corpse level. poedb.tw/us/Bone_Archer
Necromancer is almost always the best choice for corpse skills. For this build, it provides mana regeneration, block chance, and a significant damage boost (200% cast speed from corpse pact). No other ascendancy can outperform Necromancer for this build.
Well, this build works perfectly fine without an AG since it doesn’t contribute much to it. The AG’s gear is really cheap, and they rarely die, which is why I included them in the build. And if I had equipped it with Gruthkul's Pelt, it definitely wouldn’t die in this fight. I just wanted to test Zahndethus' Cassock for the consecrated ground effect, but it doesn’t seem to perform well in heavy DoT fights like Uber Uber Elder.
Nice build, thanks
thanks for the video.

thank for the fun build! Is there any recommand gear upgrade order? Also, how you get life recover?

How would you rate the map clear speed? Can you cast once into a pack and move on or do you have to channel to each pack?
With the Oriath end flask, you’ll only need one or two casts of Unearth to clear an entire pack, so this build has quite solid clear speed.
In pob mana cost is 56 mana and 29 life, does kitava's thirst still trigger? i had to refund the reduce mana cost nodes and take out the inspiration support to make it exactly 101 mana cost and finally kitava;s thirst triggered for me.
Yeah, my bad. The low budget version doesn’t need Impossible Escape. I’ve updated the PoB.
mageblood viable? if yes which flask should I drop oriath or Progenesis
For this build, Tides of Time is better than Mageblood as it significantly helps with mana management.
Can we use caspiro for timeless jewel? or it will break the build?
It doesn't break the build, but you'll be less tanky and will need to find another way to quickly apply Withered to enemies. Withering Presence from Occultist is too slow in applying Withered. Maybe consider using Withering Step.
I didnt find you on poeninja. But pob shows me that damage is less than clear DD with ignite.
That's probably because you didn’t set the correct corpse life. Check here for the Bone Archer corpse life, and be sure to match it with the appropriate corpse level. poedb.tw/us/Bone_Archer
Too bad you can’t play this on ruthless looks pretty fun
Yeah, Ruthless is a whole different story, lol.
why necromancer?
Necromancer is almost always the best choice for corpse skills. For this build, it provides mana regeneration, block chance, and a significant damage boost (200% cast speed from corpse pact). No other ascendancy can outperform Necromancer for this build.
hello.is this build HC viable?
I’d say it’s probably hardcore viable, as I only died occasionally during really dangerous encounters, like the Titanic Exile or juiced T17 maps.

2:30 and there the AG goes. 1 reason AG builds are dump
