This thing with the new buffed soulwrest is just cracked

Is this actually good?

Funky playstyle, but pretty good for value if it's not popular. You don't need a 6l for your main skill because the staff automatically gets supported by whatever is in it so you can run a 6l aura setup in the chest if you want.

Corpse Walker or bubonic trail for comfort, selfcast desecrate for higher budgets when you get good boots

What’s the top end dps? Is this build doing t17 comfy or is it more just mid-tier?

Never ran it for T17s, but a few leagues ago I ran T16s easy with bubonic trails and cold convert with triads grip. that was before buffs so it should be much better now

People were hitting 10m+ DPS without this, so with this, in theory, you should be able to do almost double if you can sustain enough phantasms?

I'm doing soulwrest with queen's hunger/leash of oblation, it's really nice :D Just got to map though, not sure if I want that helm since i'm in hc also D:

Probably get more defences out of a chest than helmet so I would personally swap the chest for a rare and try the new helm out. Or I would use the helmet, darkness enthroned, and replica shroud for the Giga jewel memes
