And more damage as well. 
Is this one of those builds that only works once you have the full Uroboruuk set?
Thanks!
Nice. I think this is one of your fastest builds in terms of cleartime. Less kiting is really good for fast clearing in crucible.
BUT IT’S NOT SPELLBINDER
Decomposition + blood boil debuff OA, not DA.
BTW, amazing build as always!! I have been waiting for someone to make the uroboruuk set works.

Nice Build, tried it, works fine.
Just…stop:D
Yes it’s the first one that is capable of doing it in 10 minutes and it’s also very reliable. This is in part thanks to the fact that it’s NOT SPELLBINDER:p
The set is very good and the proc strong especially in campaign.
@thejabrixone: Yes it’s what I really meant. Fixed. thanks
Does the aether shred from death sentence and the dmg from DA really beat out spellbinder? The damage from reckless power (yea you’d have to give up master of death) and from fabric of reality seems like a lot. Not to mention extras like getting nullification and mirror. There are also some nice passives like inner focus or the crit damage from elemental balance.
I’m guessing you’ve tested it, I’m just surprised Apostate comes out ahead especially with the decent + to arcanist skills the items give. I’ve got a Necro I’ve been leveling and haven’t picked a second class on yet, but wanted to turn into some sort of caster. This is looking like a fun option for that char.
Spellbinder might be better overall (slightly) due to QoL of Devastation, Nullification and Mirror.
But Apostate’s wins hands down when it comes down to bringing out the damage potential of Drain Essence due to the sheer amount of RR the class combo possess
Spellbinders, specifically Arcanists have been running rampant since the nerfs to Pierce Blademasters back in vanilla so I think running an Apostate is something most people would find refreshing. Not to mention it’s not too behind the Spellbinder as evidenced by the kill time of the build. Spellbinder probably is slower in the DE department
-30 Aether rr on demand man:) That is a huge deal in those crits you see and life returned to you
Spellbinder would take longer to play, would be kinda boring too with build. and in campaign, without the cruci buffs, binder would be too slow for my taste with this set
Cool thanks for the input Chthon and fluff I wasn’t sure how that aether rr compared to the sheer +aether dmg % from arcanist, but I guess it makes sense that once you have so much aether dmg % already the rr comes out ahead rather than just adding more %.
The apostate does look more fun too, I also think my side mouse thumb button is getting worn out from hitting mirror so much anyway on other chars haha.
Hi guys, i am currently level 75 Apostate, leveling in lightning stormbox build, moving slowly through Ultimate campaign. Should i respec now, or DE build will not really work without decent gear?
DE is really fun up until ~your lvl if you don’t have the gear. I personally played DE from start to finish but if you don’t have the gear and are not used with DE progression throughout the game respeccing is not a good deal at your lvl:)
That’s sad=( I already have multiple good epic aether-vit damage items, etc, so i thought it can work, but i guess Uroboruuk’s set is must have for this build to work?
It works in campaign. You can try. I did until lvl 94 when I equipped uroboruuk. I thought you had no gear at all. Uroboruuk is not a must but it’s where the max power lies
How did you make it work with DE, it drains so much mana and damage is not good if you don’t spec in vit damage
Uroboruuk sets with Apostate is a Beast …
I did it with aether up to lvl 94. I used 3x ectoplasms (rings and medal). Use a focusing prism in amulet or seal of annihilation at lvl 75. Get the second node in owl for another reduced -%reduced energy cost. Try to use some mage gear if you have with innate flat energy regen like clairvoyant hat, mage chest. Use energy pot ehn energy is depleted half way. Use a Spectral Shied for “-8% Skill Energy Cost to Drain Essence”
Later, when you get/ equip Uroboruuk set, mana won’t be much of a problem any more. The set brings DE to a whole other level
Forgot to say that in vetera/elite, avoid maxing DE. Especially if you save a bit of + skills and always pump masery point when you level. You can even invest in spirit a bit at the beginning since you can easily respec attributes later
Wondering why master of death instead of harbinger of souls, OA is so important?
