Level 98 Detonate Dead of Chain Reaction Necromancer^3.24

Notes

Levels 1-28

Check Skills page for gem setups and which ones to choose from quest rewards

Links to look for early:
B-B-B  R-B-B
(For rolling magma and holy flame totem)

Sapphire ring for merveil
Goat's Horns for extra damage in Act 1 (probably until the swap at 28)
Orb of Chance or Fusing Orb to buy Arma Brand Later

Look for shield for shield charge/faster attacks setyup later (preferably move speed base)

At 24 look for a 4-link for crema setup G-G-B-B
At least need a 3 link with G-G-B or G-B-B


Levels 28-Start of Mapping

YOU WILL NEED TO TO LIBRARY FOR:
Lesser Multiple Projectiles
Haste
Shield Charge
Faster Attacks

Again, check Skills page for gem setups

Essentially tag everything with arma brand while moving and use Desecrate/Cremation for large packs/bosses

Use Shield charge for movement to save time

If youy do not feel comfoprtable with mama use haste over herald of ash (I use 2 mana flasks for my runs and don;t have a problem)

Keep Upgrading Gear and Get Ready for an Eldritch Batter swap towards the end of campaign
YOU WILL NEED A DECENT AMOUNT OF ES FROM GEAR FOR THIS SWAP TO FEEL COMFORTABLE (>400, then about 1000 to use a divine blesssing setup later)

You will likely "fall behind" in levels, but you should do enough damage that is doesn't matter. Fasrm Blood Aquadects if you are behind and don' feel comfortable


Detonate Dead of Chain Reaction

You will need to farm Merc Lab before killing Kitava for Detoante Dead of Chain Reaction (Unless you got lucky early, always go for green gem reroll
During this time you should make up some ground on your leveling and get some usable items

If on trade, you can try to purchse, but it might be expensive


Mapping

See Skills page for gem setup. I may make slight changes to this depeending on feel and how/if Call to Arms works with multiple Warcrys

I don;t use an offering until I have a trigger wand because lazy, but feel free to use as soon as you complete 4th lab (or use take it 3rd if you plan on self-casting offerings)

Playstyle is simple Shield Charge -> Desecrate -> DD -> Repeat
Curse if encessary, and re-apply Haste(divine Blessing) as it expires (4th lab also provides a large skill effect duation increase which makes this CD feel better)


Spectres


IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO SUMMON AT LEST ONE SPECTRE WITH A HIGH LIFE POOL

Most commonly used is Kitava's Herald (Found in Cathedral Rooftop in Act 5 or Feeding Trough in Act 10) 

Go to one of these areas with Raise Spectre equipped and cast a coupel desecrates. Hover over the corpses until you see Kitava's Herald, then use Raise Spectre to summon

Go back to your hideout with the spectre and cast desecrate a few times tio make sure it is in the pool. You can now unequip Raise Spectre. Kitava Herald should still be in your desecrate pool

This level of detail https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1bogtf1/heres_how_to_easily_minmax_your_spectre_setup_for/ isn't necessary to start mapping, but does help as you progress.
