Bruh this build is so good! Came across it via Macrobioboi’s recent video. Thank you for sharing this mate, I switched out to this last night and the dps boost was crazy. I only had to change 2 pieces of gear (2 handed scythe and a ring) but got lucky my current gear fits this build better than the original corpse focussed blight build.
This build is right up my alley,I've always found a way to use blight and do dot damage since beta. Been waiting for you to do something with this build like you did with X'fals pentadot. Having a blast the last few day since i found the Ebonpiecer build,new it would be awesome from the patch note when they first mentioned this unique. Excellent and precise breakdown on how to make this build shine,thanks.
Been playing a variation of this build for about a week now and this build inparticular this past weekend. This build is a lot of fun to play. The damage feels several tiers behind minions though for me, not including use of Holy Bolt which for obvious reasons put minions far ahead. Look forward to how things progress with this!
Looking to a vid with Tyrael's might because the bolts do not scale well at higher pits (currently at 65) as does the blight shots. You're very knowledgeable so you'll think of something. That's if i heard right you were looking at the Tyrael's might....oh yeah this build is a masterpiece
So why is the Ebonpiercer exactly this good if the 4 extra shadow blobs don't scale with skill ranks in Blight? If I had an amulet - Resource Cost Reduction - +3 Gloom - +3 Death's Embrace or Amplify Damage 2 nice Tempers 1.5x offensive Aspect Would Ebonpiercer still leave my legendary amulet dead in the water?
The flat damage of the projectiles is substantially higher than the actual blight bolt it self. Around 97% of the builds damage comes directly from the projectiles. You will not make up that difference.
Still rocking this build it's a keeper. Hey. Any updates on the Tyrael's might unique on the build. I have one and just curious on your insights. Thanks, take care
Yeah my thoughts also. Really thought the higher resistance would help but I don't feel like it did. Thanks a Ton! For your response. Enjoy and take care I'm subbed so anything new I'll get the ping 👍
Great build thank you but I have a question. I have tempered dark damage on rings. Did I messed it up? should I try other rings for damage over time tempers?
on rings darkness is "ok" but its really not great. your two tempers to shoot for in that slot are either %dmg (which has the higher roll) or shaodw dmg
@@serocifkre Okay got it. Btw the build on wowhead contains more Lucky hit CC tempers which I think this build really needs because I am having hard time on staggering bosses
edgemaster is a good alternative, we are also using conceited + gale for uptime on bonestorm and high multiplier for higher pushing. Decay only impacts shadowblight itself and since the build is not stacking towards shadowblight it has no impact on the build, we are directly scaling dot dmg for the projectiles on the amulet.
Hey do you have the update yet with the Tyrael Might version? I feel like id rather use tyrael might instead of harlequin so I can have more lucky hit chance, to stagger those bosses
@@serocifkre I've seen the build ran two ways, Either stack almost straight % damage, or the way you are doing it with Shadow dot damage, Currently I have am stacking pure % damage, I am unsure which is actually better though.
@@TaintPUNCH53 its real simple. the only place that % dmg is higehr is on tempers. so if you stack the tempers of %dmg then shadow damage or %dmg on the affixes are the same
Whew neither but of the two honestly, the sacred one. the dmg is all based on the projectile and in this case youre doubling hwat you have. You can get a cheap 29k at diablo.trade
for temper which one to prioritize, damage % or shadow dmg over time? i knew macro took yours as reference but he's prioritizing dmg% and you're shadow dmg over time.
I farmed up some gear for this build and just did a full respec. How are you resist and armor capped with no rolls on ur gear for them I'm very far off on both and thags with an 2 armor rolls on gear
@@serocifkre Will do. Currently testing a curse/thorns build using Damned, inner calm, needleflare + iron maiden. Something really appealing about watching things hit me and die.
@@bladewraithIron Maiden is significantly worse than Decrepify. I know it’s tempting to use it for a build like this, but since it has an internal CD of once per second (per target), it does significantly less damage than you’d like it to do.
ive tried lidless wall for few days before stumbling upon your comment. use it with one handed blight sickle and ring with osseous gale aspect. the uptime for bonestorm is quite long. kinda amazing.
Where are you standing on blight projectiles casting twice? Seems like I want to get rid of that for bone storm duration since blight isn’t a huge part of your damage
Its pretty straight forward, if no corpse, spam a bit of blight or blood mist for corpse, tendrils and decrepify, pop a corpse for fueled by death or flesh eater for larger packs, then spam blight, recast decrepify, corpses, and tendrils as needed. Primarily use bonestorm for defensive in big packs. You ideally want to keep at minimum fueled by death going. Spam as much blight as you can so it stacks and stacks fast
pit 100 is fine. actually im currently on pit 107, and get to the boss in fair time im just not a good player mechanically and most of the time will just walk into a fire orb or something and kill myself.
Well for so far, 109s the trash was fine, I can clear out a 100+ within minutes for the most part, elemental still hurts but its very manageable with the cooldown on bonestorm. We still cant tank the end bosses mechanics that can still one shot and we do not have minions to take in some of that damage or completely block it. The damage is out of this world if we could remain stationary to continue spamming.
hey someone put this is in a d4 planner d4builds.gg/builds/c936cf55-f813-4e5a-b031-859f3186784e/?var=0 i will post an edited version for any changes this weekend
I did and it was incredibly underwhelming compared to shako in every single way. Losing the regen increase from shako was very very noticeable, the HP loss was very noticeable, the procs were underwhelming, and the increase in resistance did not make up for the overall DR and HP.
nothing compares to minions as long as holy bolt exists :D. I am not a fan of minions so I am just working on some very fun very viable alternatives to minions.
Only noobs and kids play minions. Yeah how about people that want to play necro as it's meant to be played with it's class specific mechanics, instead playing it like a reskinned sorc

Much appreciated for your sharing of this build, I'm dishing damages of 2 ~ 20 million plus at level 90 Necro.
You will get there is very strong
@@serocifkre Many thanks 😁🙏🏻🙏🏻
came over from a feature elsewhere to say thanks for the awesome build
thank you for popping over I appreciate the support. Got a couple more builds going to be putting out soon as well.
amazing dot build as usual, thank you man
thank you!

everything feels behind minions and rightfully so right now. This build has hit 119 however, so its not terribly far behind in pits at least
@@serocifkreare you posting tier 119 soon?
@@ScoRPioNiKoMBaT Rofldots posted one yesterday
Love this build . Big thx :)
my absolute pleasure
nice vid I do like the wowed interface to look at the build thanks
Thank you!!
how do you keep bonestorm up most of the time? im having problems with being too squishy
2 things, 1) temper bone storm duration on the weapon, 2) make sure you keep decrepify on packs to keep the LHC to reduce cooldowns active

Thank you for that. I am literally working on tyraels testing right now
You can always add chance to Daze from the rogue temper also
chance to freeze, chance to stun, we already have chance to daze on the concussive strikes as well
So why is the Ebonpiercer exactly this good if the 4 extra shadow blobs don't scale with skill ranks in Blight?
If I had an amulet
- Resource Cost Reduction
- +3 Gloom
- +3 Death's Embrace or Amplify Damage
2 nice Tempers
1.5x offensive Aspect
Would Ebonpiercer still leave my legendary amulet dead in the water?

Why are no blight builds running Aspect of Decay? Would that be a good alternative to Inner Calm/Unending Storm?

Decay only impacts shadowblight itself and since the build is not stacking towards shadowblight it has no impact on the build, we are directly scaling dot dmg for the projectiles on the amulet.
Definitely switching to this asap. Over minions.
i got so dang bored in 2 days of minions i knew i had to do something :D
hi would you consider this build to be better than the minio necro? im level 85 minion necro rn in s4
Hey do you have the update yet with the Tyrael Might version? I feel like id rather use tyrael might instead of harlequin so I can have more lucky hit chance, to stagger those bosses
Tested it with multiple different setups and I did not find the results remotely comparable to Shako
why don't you use aspect of decay? It massively increases the damage of shadowblight. I feel like it would be better than inner calm
shadowblight does very very little damage in the build. its sole purpose in the build is to get blighted aspect online
Any opinion on stacking Straight damage % over Shadow dot damage? Some conflicting information out there on this.
%damage on temper is higher thats it.
@@serocifkre I've seen the build ran two ways, Either stack almost straight % damage, or the way you are doing it with Shadow dot damage, Currently I have am stacking pure % damage, I am unsure which is actually better though.

which one to use Ancestral Ebon with 10k dmg or Sacred Ebon with 19k dmg? thnks

Well i have 70% resists JUST from my intelligence. The armor comes from 3 skulls in my jewerly, i am sitting at 9400 armor and cap resists
@@serocifkre ya I realized you have like double my int which would make up the resist and a greater affix armor roll

@@serocifkre Nice, thx man appreciate it!
Edit: Btw any particular reason you passed up on Explosive mist for popping Corpse Explosion?
Yes, no real spot for it in the build. BCE doesn't do much dmg other that popping fueled by death and flesh eater.
@@serocifkre Fair enough man, awesome stuff! Cheers!
Thank you!

But how is your survivability in the pit at lvl 100?
pit 100 is fine. actually im currently on pit 107, and get to the boss in fair time im just not a good player mechanically and most of the time will just walk into a fire orb or something and kill myself.
is the surviability good?
