Build Playstyle and Bossing:
The Detonate Dead build utilizes the transfigured version on a necromancer for a more hit-based playstyle. The transfigure gem allows for chaining detonate corpses, creating a powerful chaining effect. This build requires pressing the desecrate and detonate dead buttons frequently, making it a two-button build. However, the lingering effect left behind by detonate dead makes clearing easier. Additionally, automated curses and offerings can be obtained through trigger weapons. In boss fights, the playstyle changes slightly, with the use of an archinist brand to cast desecrate and alternating between desecrate and detonate dead buttons. The build’s tankiness allows for tanking hits and continuous casting.
Recommended Gear and Crafting Tips:
The build’s gear setup includes basic life and resistances on all pieces. Eldritch battery is utilized to convert energy shield to mana, allowing for continuous casting. Fourth bow and Defiance of Destiny are two key items that provide additional defense against chaos damage. Glorious vanity combined with fourth bow offers protection against cold damage and penetration. The build also benefits from energized armor, which provides increased armor and chaos resistance. Crafting tips are provided for each piece of gear, including leveling uniques and endgame gear options.
Specters and FAQ:
Specters play an important role in the Detonate Dead build, diluting the corpse pool with higher HP corpses to increase damage. Initially, one specter is used, obtained from a Kataba Herald in Act 10. As the build progresses, up to five specters can be utilized for further damage increase. Leveling desecrate is essential to ensure high-level corpses. Energy shield is crucial for sustaining the build’s mana consumption, and a belt with unveiled energy shield regen can be obtained for additional sustain in boss fights.
