Level 97 Crit Absolution Necromancer^3.21

Notes

ACT 1

Level 2:
Pick Freezing Pulse or Rolling Magma ( I prefer Pulse)
Go to mudflats - Submerged passage (level 4, back to town)	
Look for R-B-B (two)

Level 4: 
Pick Flame Wall, Frost Blink
Purchase Holy Flame Totem from Nessa
Start Looking fo Iron Ring to Sell with Firebal for Sapphire Ring

Go to Tidal Island and back for QuickSilver, pick summon phantasm
Link phantasm to Holy Flame Totem

Go forward until at prison
Use waypoints if you still need to check vendor for links
At prison teleport to Submerged Passage -> Flooded Depths
Back to town

Level 8ish:
Pick Combustion for Holy Flame Toem 3 Link
Nack to Prison
Do Trial
Slay Brutus

After Brutus:
Pick Clarity for Comfy Mana (be careful on leveling it too much)
*Alternatively purchase vitality if worried about life regen

Go forward until Merveil, get checkpoint at ship's graveyard
Back to town to purchase absolution
Need to be level 12 to use Abso
3 link - Abso - Minion damage - Added ligthning

Go to Merveil
Ideally have at 2 Sapphire rings (at least 1 for comfy fight)
Absolution and holy flame totem should be ez


ACT 2
Check for new gear with links r-b-b and b-b-b 
Need Strength eventually...
Do White Beast quest, shoose heavy belt if strength needed, otherwise quicksilver

Continue to Crossroads, then chamber of sin.
No Heralds are particularly good and we dont use desecrate yet
Herald of Purity is ok if want to purchase and feel good on mana regen

Kill first bandit in east
We will kill all bandits
Skip Crypt quest

go west to western forest
go all the way to west end, kill guard, use emblem
go top, do bandit or spider
back and use tele to forest, kill otherwise

Basically just rushing through the quests now
At level 20 start looking for calling wands (should show on default filter)
Look for a r-r-b for zombies
Zombie-melee spalsh-melee phys
Minion damage is bait, zombies will die a lot
Can use raise zombie after gettign life regen from Sacrifice node

Ready for Apex and Act 3

Act 3
Proceed Like normal, creamtorium back to town, etc
Choose Convocation at first choice
Start Looking for 4 links, r-b-b-b and b-b-b-b (preferably in armour gear)
Buy zealotry, but dont use yet. Wait until it is noticably hard to summon purity minions

Can do Lab as soon as avaialble on decent gear (I completed lab at 28)
First ascendency is Mondless Aggression
Choose Raise Spectre when available, won't use yet but can level it
Highly Recommend lab before Dominus

Act 4
DO NOT start act 4 until you have ascended, you will be significantly slower

After turn in banner. choose carrion golem and equip at level 34 (this will be our feeding frenzy minion)
Continue onward. no real reason to return to town ever except to check for gear
Next skill gem will be Spell echo (This does not work on the Vaal sentinel)

Once you have reservation nodes you can easily swap HoP to Zealotry or Wrath or Determination (for tanky)

Act 5
Nothing to see here really, just blast
Grab a prox shield spectre in the courtyard
Ideally have around 1500 hp for Kitava and level 45
Keep an eye out for good 4 links and gear upgrades

Act 6
START CAPPING RES, cold for brine king!
Once Lilly sells her gems it's time to start re-linking things (at prison WP)
Try for at least these setups:
Abso - phys to lightning - minion damage - lightning pen/pantasm/faster cast/spell echo
Carrion Golem - Feeding frenzy - Zombie - minion life/elemental army
Raise Spectre - minion life - meat shield - AG(if you want to start leveling the gem)
Determination/wrath/zealotry - Can run more auras after EB
Precision - Arrogance
Flame dash
Steelskin
Desecrate
Flesh Offering

Act 6 Tree is a lot of pathing, if you don't feel strong enough grab some nearby life nodes
There's not very many strong minion nodes left to grab
Start Grabbing some ES gear for switch to EB, ~400 is ideal

Act 7
This ends up being a really quick act
Grab some defensive nodes look for good r-b-b-b setup for absolution
Grab carnage and host chieftan spectres in ashen fiels for power/frenzy charges

Act 8
Should be able to do Cruel Lab immediatly
Commander of Darkness is huge boost to damage and ele res, honestly could pick this first if you want to never worry about ele res

Act 9
We get more defensive
Remember to add in determination when you switch to EB

Act 10
Good luck on your 4 link chest roll, will need armor/es for EB
Do Merc Lab before Kitava
Bone armour on left-click is great
highly reccomend the defensive minion nodes for Kitava/bone armour for kitava fight
