While I can definitely say I haven’t made every build and some Ive left on purpose for others. I have however made at least 1 build using every skill currently in the game 
there is lot of variety and its hard to ever get bored.

Thanks for the response! Out of curiosity, how many waves do you think both this and the AoD low life build are able to push in arena? Thanks again!
a very simliar build to this one that had no resistance and depending on wandering spirits for damage and leech(although not quite as much dps) from @Tibone pushed over 300 waves. The low life necro i pushed low 200s with so i favor the lich if i were a betting man

When Wandering Spirits pass through a target & when they fire their poison darts at a target, they both count as hits don’t they? I’m thinking of Bone Curse.
None of Wandering Spirits components hit. (Base skill and the Spectral Putrescence)
Spectral putrescence does hit
This is why they apply ignite when you equip soulfire
Also why there so deadly with plague staff
They apply all your ailment chance on spectral putrescences hit. This is also why poison ticks get insane whem death seal is activates with both the damage amd poison chance nodes
Well, it does not work with Bone Curse, then this is a buggy interaction.
Just tested yesterday, but didn’t actually test more “hit” effects, then bone curse.
Since bone curse does not trigger, i assumed it just does not hit. But then some1 should make a bug report on that one.
This is correct. Bone curse interaction does not work. Good thing to. Quite a fees tested this first day of patch. Imagine if it had worked
I was not aware of that buggy interaction, now i gave some people wrong informations, based on the information i got from a buggy interaction >.<
Never really used DoT’s skills that much^^
Yeah im not sure if bone curse is buggy or if its a hint wandering spirits will soon be losing there hit status, but for now everything besides bone curse is applied on spectral putrescence hit.
Well to be fair it’s quiet a strange interaction anyway: DoT Skill that does not hit, has a node that grants a component that does hit.
But yeah maybe it will remove the ability to hit, we’ll have to see.
Still better, than when Bone Curses additional hits could trigger ailments, just imagine this madness 
Well it does have a spell tag so its a spell hit shen they fire their poison dart. But i agree. Nothing from the spiritual world should be able to physically touch
However if you continue to play with it. I recommend getting lots of spell leech and damage leech(global damage leech not that wussy on hit stuff)
Your survivability all go through the roof as you will leech the spirits spell hut damage
Great build Boardman! I started this today and have reached ~lvl 60 monoliths. Question for you: since we are draining so much life continuously, would it make sense to run this as a lowlife/ward setup with Exsang + Last Steps of the Living?
Also, question: for Wandering Spirits, why did you not take the Infectious Dead upgrade, since this is a poison build?
Thanks!
Does infectious dead convert wandering spirits to poison damage? I kept them as necrotic base so soulfire sill work and they get the 200% ignite
I have found that stacking leech gives higher survivability for this build than los life setup
Spirit Plague, Infernal Shade & Drain Life all have the spell tag but they don’t hit.
Correct just saying for the leech its a spell hit
Oh nice I play a similar build so you might be able to answer this question @boardman21 … LE has a lot of snapshot potential and you can cast Wandering Spirits while channeling… is it viable to stack “more dmg while channeling” to improve the Wandering Spirits even more? IIRC the rolls of “while channeling” affixes was pretty nuts.
you defintely can. But the 100-200% damage even on super good rolls on multiple items is miniscle compared to the 4000% damage you already get from death seal + spirit plague but defintely can min max doing that
It’s just a thought I toyed arround with but sadly Acolytes can’t get while channeling idols as a cherry on top so it might be useless anyway. Non the less I love Drain Life I could cast it 24/7 because it just sounds so nice… at least for my ears ^^.
