Any tips on order of Ascendancies? I was thinking Void Beacon, Withering, Bloom, then Malediction.

Great questions Nozomroto!

With this build, there isn't an obvious path. It's REALLY hard to choose. But I
think I'd prioritize Malediction over Whithering Presence. As long as the mana reservation nodes are already selected so that we can have all three blasphemies, I think the build benefits more from that node that the pure offence of Whithering Presence.

There isn't a wrong path though. You can't really go wrong either way. Cause getting Whithering Presence with Enfeeble and TC is just like having no Whithering Presence and all three blasphemies. I like your path choice. Go for it.

No worries, the rough leveling experience was mostly my fault. I switched from an offensive attacking skill early on and tried to ride the minions long before they were ready. And it didn't help that I prefer to prioritize links and gem leveling over gear, so I was basically always under-geared.

I play Co-op with my brother, who was playing your zombie build. He felt substantially stronger through the leveling process, I think because of the sheer number of life and damage nodes for the zombies he took. But after the second ascendancy I caught up in power very quick from being able to run all three auras. Now we are running early maps and so far feel very even in power.

I'll throw in that I think the build absolutely explodes in power level from being able to run all three curses simultaneously. I went Bloom and then Malediction immediately and made sure to grab the passive skill for the third curse (as well as the one that lets you reserve enough mana for them) as soon as possible. The moment I hit that second ascendancy for malediction all of a sudden everything started melting before me.

I probably wouldn't have run it this way on hard core, since I did die frequently while slogging my way through, but boy has it made a difference. I just grabbed void beacon now as well which made a big boost for starting maps.

Welp, time to get to playing! :D

Edit: Just got Spirit Offering and Flesh Offering, I'd highly recommend using Flesh over Spirit early on, as it makes the AW's move a LOT faster + the extra attacks peed means more chances of poisons being applied. While the resist and + chaos dmg on Spirit definitely makes them hit harder, most stuff dies in 2-3 hits anyways. Will definitely be more worthwhile in maps/bossing after getting some of the attack speed nodes on the tree.

So animate weapon lasts only 40 seconds, so when I fight some boss for longer than 40 seconds and they all disappear, I have to go to another location to find more weapons?

@edit
Okay I've found out that I can use etheral knives to summon weapon xD
