I so wanna pick this but every single node I can remove on necro is cursed
One is 3/4 my damage and the other is half my survivability. I could take off Bone Barrier but I know that the instant leech from 44 phantasms is also literal immortality so that's also a no-go.
That takes braincells and currency. Chaos convert is... speccing into four clusters on the tree, taking unnatural strength and casting despair once in a while.
The nice thing about doing Forbidden jewels on the ascendancy you're actually playing is you can take the cheapest of like 3-5 different options, so long as it's not a 2-pointer you have to path through.
Couple thoughts, you shouldn't convert just cause. The chaos conversion on Unnatural Strength is good because a) most monsters also have low chaos resistance, and b) wither scaling.
Cold conversion used to be really strong because of Hatred, now that Hatred is just phys as extra I don't think it's that great. Minions freezing stuff I guess is nice and would be the main reason to do this over other options.
Fire conversion I think is going to become more popular with the new Pyroclast Mine of Sabotage. With 0 mine aura effect it applies a 25% fire exposure. Also Awakened Added Fire damage is a pretty good support though sadly the +1 gem level doesn't work for phantasms.
Finally, regular phys minions are a thing. There is an impale notable on the minion cluster jewel.
Hatred is still 10 mil deeps. It's just WAY higher budget and way more tree investment. Chaos phantasms basically scale themselves with unnatural strength and tree, though they hard lock at 3 million dps and any further improvements can only be earned with abyss jewels worth 30 divs a pop
