[3.20] Gryph's Burning Witch - CoC Volatile Dead Necromancer - Burn Yourself Through the Atlas!

Hello there ! Since we can have a 4th curse on the amulet now, do you have some idea how to use that ?
I have a 6 link CWDT with ball lightning, wave of conviction, combustion, awakened hextouch and enfeblee. Is it worth to replace wave of conviction by elemental weakness ?

And crushclaw/blisterlord spectres are still the best here or since their nerf we can swap for better spectres ?

Not sure on numbers for Specters. I think Stoneskin Flayer and Lithomancer are the best 2 now at 800% more life. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong though.

The wave of conviction nerf brings up an interesting idea. There ARE other sources of exposure that can be used to save a socket.

Cluster JEwels and the new base helmet from Ritual come to mind.

Please explain why we need phantasmal desecrate?

You don't *need* it. If you are not actively using specters it does increased your damage a bit though as the Flickershades have 300% more life. But if you're using Specters for corpse life it's not worth using.

Will be finding this and editing it out. Thanks

How do I calculate Replica Duskdawn in POB? When I switch from Martyr to Replica Duskdawn the calculation significantly drops and I'm confused.

Replica gives:
SIGNIFICANTLY more damage to the corpse explosions side bc of generic elemental scaling

Better attack speed for APS bp = more dps

10% base crit means no need for crit gem=40% more damage from new support. You will get to 100% crit chance with a crit chest. Can also drop the Staff Attack Crit nodes (4 points) as a result.

No need for Avatar of Fire to do physical reflect.

I admit, it's not super obvious WHY it's better, but it IS, in fact, better.

I tried your build the detonate dead and specters and I can note a significant decrease in the speed of clearing and damage to bosses

The decrease to clear speed is a given.

The specter life nerf is a big hit to DD damage.

Also did you have the right helmet enchant? Literally more than 45% more DPS for bossing.

That said the difference isn't HUGE and mostly preferred because DD is less screen clutter.

I dont fully understand the attack per second thing, how bad does it wreck the dps? Im at 9% attack speed on my sheet right now, and i was looking at essence rush on a large cluster which gives 5% while cycloning which puts me at 14% so im guessing thats bad because then if i get even 1% more it ruins my dps basically?

when you are mapping, look at your Cyclone APS to see where you're at while fully buffed. There is a limit to how fast you can attack(more specifically, CRIT) with cyclone before you start "skipping" casts from CoC due to cooldown.

If you have 0 Cooldown Recovery your cap is 12.12APS
14%+ your cap is 15.14APS.

If you're under these values at those CDR breakpoints you're fine.
