Interesting... I'll google that build up and take a peek at it. Like I mentioned in my OP, bone spear build has been great for me - bosses or otherwise - since the beginning of the game on WT2. It's just this one fight specifically where he spawns endless waves of enemies while I'm just trying to get my minions back up and lay a few points of damage on him that I'm having issues. Thanks!
Is you don’t have enough corpses, then you might try re-speccing for Reap as the basic with the ability to generate a corpse from that. Blood mist can also generate corpses. From there, corpse tendrils is really good for aoe vulnerable before a flurry of corpse explosions. I think i saw a build that was a combo of infinimist and bone spear, so that might be worth checking out for a tweak or two.
I think I'm mostly set on corpse generation, the issue lies more in being able to keep my summons up (and subsequently, reliable "targeting" of the spawned waves of mobs). The amount of raw damage that the Executioner mobs do, and their ability to close a gap so quickly with their leap attack, also forces me to keep moving so I spend a lot of the fight running in circles, trying to pull summons up out of nearby corpses, then trying to regen mana (by either exploding corpses or spamming Bone Shards - the latter generates corpses because I've maxed Hewed Flesh) so I can let off some bone spears.
My summons get melted incredibly fast.
You could try Decrepify curse to slow the mobs down? That’s about where my usefulness ends though lol
Hah - noted. I rekt him on WT1 so I could just get past it and continue plowing through the story (I want my goddamn horse lol). Would definitely like to revisit that fight in the future with various different builds and see if I can get some traction, though. In any case, thanks for the responsess. :)
