Based on your PoB it looks like you're doing something wrong in game because with the right configuration (shocked, chilled, consumed corpse, etc) you should be totally fine well in to yellow maps and probably even reds. I'm seeing almost 71k on your combined volatile dead damage - I have 95k combined on VD in ~T14s.

How you did this?

I have only 17k =(
I supposed I have plenty of flate "fire damage" and a lot of spell damage.

FAQ

스포일러

Q: I don't have enough mana to have all 3 spellslingers. Why?
A: You need to spec the fill Sovereignty wheel in the passive tree.

Q: My Inspiration Support is not working. Why?
A: You must have Inspiration Support linked to VD AND Barrage. For Inspiration Support to work you must spend mana. We do not spend mana with VD so we put it on our Barrage setup where we will always spend mana.

Q: What about the Fire Expose cluster jewel?
A: We are already getting the fire exposure from WoC, and multiple exposures do not stack.

Q: I feel like the VD aren't spawning sometimes. Is there a way to fix this?
A: Yes and no. As you play the build you will find a sweet spot. When you cast too far, too close, or a small area you will sometimes not spawn the VD balls. Watcher where you cursor is and adjust accordingly. Also, spellslinger is limited on cast speed (about 3) so sometimes you will be casting too fast.

Q: Why are you taking minion damage nodes?
A: Because we are using Spiritual Aid.

Q: What is Spiritual Aid?
A: A keynote passive that says "Increases and Reductions to Minion Damage also affects you". We get some naturally from our Ascendancy so why not take advantage of it?

Q: Why are you using Hypothermia?
A: Hypothermia Support says "Supported Skills deal (20-39)% more Damage with Hits and Ailments against Chilled Enemies" as well as other helpful things. As a Necromancer we take the Ascendancy Corpse Pact which has "Enemies near corpses you Spawned Recently are Chilled and Shocked". We always chill because we are constantly spawning corpses. So we will get the 20-39% damage boost (as well as freeze and chill effect) from this gem.

Q: Why are you using barrage? Isn't Frenzy/Power Siphon better?
A: Barrage has a nice effect that allows VD to be cast on the same cast as Desecrate. On other skills this will not happen. So Barrage allows for smoother game play. You may use Barrage Support on Frenzy/Power Siphon if you have enough links.

Q: Why is you PoB so much better than mine?
A: In Configuration do a few things. I check onslaught (from my gem), consumed corpse recently, is enemy chilled (Corpse Pact), is enemy shocked (Corpse Pact), and Exposure Type as Fire (WoC). Your damage should look a bit better now, but our in game DPS is more than this because of things like Combustion Support and other things.

Q: Is this hardcore viable?
A: I do not play much hardcore, but I would say it is. This build is easy to gear for low maps, has lots of HP, and has lots of block. I made my build around softcore so the build may need to be tweaked a little.

Q: Is it SSF friendly?
A: There are no mandatory uniques in this build. So I would say it is a great build for SSF. I enjoy Inpulsa's, Atziri's Promise, Wise Oak, and a Rumi's Concoction uniques in my build but none of them are mandatory.

Q: How do you get frenzy charges?
A: I do not anymore, but there are some ways you can. Use Frenzy instead of barrage, I prefer Barrage but see what you like. Another way is to socket Ice Bite Support to WoC, and you will get frenzy charges while mapping pretty consistently.

Q: What do you Anniont?
A: Most of the ones we like are expensive so I will give a variety to fit multiple budgets. Expensive: Heart of Flame. Midrange: Deflection, Sanctuary. Cheap: Prodigal Perfection. I will be going Heart of Flame.

Q: Best Enchant for helmet?
A: Volatile Dead Consumes up to 1 additional corpse. I went with 40% increased Volatile Dead Damage because it is not too big of a difference, and the one I got was great for its price.

Q: Why did you go Necromancer and not something like Elementalist?
A: Necromancer gives us Corpse Pact and in order to cast VD you need to consume corpses. On top of that we get other great bonuses like scaling minion damage and then using Spiritual Aid, free attack speed, guaranteed chill and shock, and the use of Bone Offering. Overall it seemed to work out better than Elementalist.
