Elusive Refreshment
Normally, Elusive outside of Withering Step is unable to be refreshed, but the following combo enable those other sources to be:
- A non Withering Step source of Elusive
- Cast when Damage Taken + Withering Step
What happens is the following... After proccing your Elusive initially and it begins to decay, if Withering Step procs any point after, it will be refreshed to 100% until your next action before disappearing. Then your normal source of Elusive will proc again, ad infinitum.
DD/VD Desecrate Trick
You can drastically increase the damage output of corpse explosion effects like Volatile Dead and Detonate Dead provided you're using Desecrate to proc them.
- Grab Spectres with the highest life multipliers available. These include Knitted Horrors, Kitava's Heralds and others.
- With the Spectres ready, go into your hideout and use Desecrate to spawn corpses of them.
- Bring the Spectres you have into the Map you will run.
The Spectres will almost invariably die, but entering the map with them brings them into the Desecrate table. Now instead of the generic corpses that Desecrate spawns, you will have beefy corpses and damage increases of 200% or more. Between maps use the corpses in your hideout to spawn the Spectres to put back into the Desecrate table.
Champion Taunt Trick
Totems, Traps, Mines, VDS Doubles and The Saviour Doubles allow you to proc effects that count as you (but while also not counting as you). This means with a Champion using the Conqueror node, if they taunt, your character will get the benefit of "Enemies Taunted by you deal 10% less Damage with Hits and Ailments against other targets".
Necromancer Spirit Offering Tank
Use two different gem links with:
- CWDT LV1 + Desecrate
- CWDT LV2 + Spirit Offering
This will almost guarantee that Desecrate procs before Spirit Offering while getting hit and even allow you to afk against most non-oneshot situations in the game depending on your Life pool. In my opinion it is superior to CWC proccing.
Optimizing Chaos Recipe
When you are missing amulets for unid chaos recipe, you can essence/binding/alc white single-stat (Amber/Jade/Lapis) amulets (or ID rare ones) and then use the dual-stat amulet recipe (two different single-stat amulets + transmute) to turn it into an unid dual-stat amulet for the chao recipe if neither are good.
You can also do Coral/Paua ring + 7 Iron Rings (any rarity).
And for rings, do the prismatic ring (3 different two-stone rings) recipe the same way if you are missing rings, but i recommend only using essence/binding on them unless the alc:chaos ratio is good. Amulets are particularly good however because of the sheer number of sellable mod combinations.
