Hello! I'm thinking of transitioning to this build from DD Necro since DD damage feels pretty lackluster. Have roughly 50ex saved right now and my goal is to farm Simulacrums for profit. Any idea if this will be enough to transition? And at what point would it be viable to do simulacrums with this build?

You will need:

Phantasmal Cremation Gem
Phantasmal Unearth Gem
Ashes of the Stars
Aegis Aurora

That's the "big 4" for items.
You could theoretically use a level 4 enhance instead of 6th link until you get an Ashes of the Stars.

As for what you need for simulacrums, it's hard to say this league with rare changes. I know someone who's been farming them with the basic setup (non-crit) though.

I did some simulacrums yesterday with the 5L enhance version and it went well, died only 1 time because i did not want to move away from kosis slam. Also now im doing logbooks with sentinels and its also going good, just need 20% more dps to do expedition bosses with the sentinels active if i don't want to spend 10 minutes killing them.

Is there a reason we use Elemental Overload? It doesnt seem to proc on cremation with the corpse explosions, so am I just losing damage from them not being able to crit? Or is the EO buff "hidden" for the corpse explosion part of the skill?

It 100% works. Even at 5% crit chance you should proc it fairly reliably.

Thanks for the help! I've transitioned with the items suggested, managing to get an Ashes before yet another price spike. Tried Simulacrum twice so far. First try got to wave 30 but lost portals to a disconnect so failed before I reached the end. Second time I got one shot by Kosis over and over on wave 26 (probably a bad map mod). I'm guessing the next steps would be to get Melding and a pair of gloves with all the + level mods but even without the build already feels really tanky.

Any reason we are not using Conc Effect? Would the overlap of explosions not be sufficient if we did?

The overlap is fine. The Crit version has Conc Effect in the helmet. Also the AOE is easier to see with MTX versions of cremation (of course). I use the Void Emperor one.

NOT using it makes clearing a bit faster because .... aoe. :D Can also use Woke Inc AOE if you so desire.

EDIT: No, we are using conc effect in all versions. It's in the guide even under gems and links. I'm still waking up! Lul

Alright, I just meant we don't see the little EO indicator on cremation. If you see it then something must really be wrong with my setup haha. I only see it when I have a crit shrine and its from when I actually use the skill, not from the corpses exploding from the projectiles.

Concetrated effect does more damage, I can tell just by eye balling the health bars of map monsters. But Increaded area of effect helps a lot on clearing maps. I only use concetrated effect in Sirus and maybe invitations of 4 bosses only (aka guardian conqerors).Anything else is increased area effect, even map bossses.

How are you playing this build with only 36 unreserved mana on your crit version?

My standard character has mageblood and a flask with reduced mana cost. That's largely how. But also just reducing the mana costs with ring crafts+reduced costs. Anomalous GMP does a lot here too for non-mageblood/non woke gmp.
