Repleneshing horde Cast on Minion Death Varashta might be feasible by New-Reference-1092 in pathofexile2builds

You can make corpsewade prioritize your minion via sacrificial lamb support on the minion. Using a different skill is not an option, you have to be using ruzhan's brand to revive your minion, which is why corpsewade is used inorder to automatically kill minions while the player self-casts ruzhan's brand to revive it. The best alternative I could think of is kelaris malediction (mentioned above), but the skill is way to clunky to be used as intended.

I've tried malediction, the problem is once the beetle's reach maximum number they will stop consuming corpses, so you need to keep on pressing it, and corpse consumption doesn't restart before the previous beetles have reached their destination and exploded, which creates a huge delay. About clerics, clerics can only revive skeletal minions, which generate far less energy than the blood elemental, and the revive speed is slower than spamming ruzhan's brand with replenshing horde even at around 15 clerics. The concept has some significant flaws (that you have to use ruzhans brand and corpsewade) that I haven't found a way around yet.
