This extremely tanky Build allows you to deal massive AoE damage, while being practically immortal!
Skills
This Build mainly revolves around the use of Blood Mist. With this Build, this Skill becomes loaded, being able to trigger Corpse Explosion, make Corpses, apply Shadow Damage and increase your movement speed on top of the Immunity it grants. On top of all of this, you will be able to keep it up infinitely (hence the Build name). Corpse Explosion is another important Skill, as it is your main source of damage.
Additional Core Skills:
- Blight – will give you a boost in damage, and it’s high Lucky Chance helps this Build.
- Decrepify – this is the main way to keep your cooldowns low.
- Corpse Tendrals – groups enemies together, as well as make them Vulnerable.
- Bones Storm – grants more Critical Strike Chance, while also boosting your survivability.
Passives
The Key Passive for this Build is Shadowblight, since it will greatly boost the damage of Corpse Explosion.
Additional Passives:
- Stand Alone – will increase your survivability.
- Spiked Armor, Fueled by Death, Death’s Embrace, Amplify Damage, Terror, Gloom, and Memento Mori will boost your damage.
- Grim Harvest, Reaper’s Pursuit and Crippling Darkness will help your utility.
Book of the Dead
