My 2c about passives supporting a Cont/ED build:

inc AOE > any kind of inc dmg > inc projectile speed > inc dur

My current build does not include the inc dur passives (potency of will and exceptional performance) and I don't miss them. It's pretty rare that I need to re-apply ED.

OTOH I believe I can feel a clear-speed improvement with every little +5% inc AOE, and that a Carcass Jack is pretty much mandatory.

With the six+ points freed up from the inc dur passives, I would rather head south to heart of oak through ballistic mastery.


Duration becomes important for bosses with plenty of HP like Atziri or high maps. It doesn't help for mob packs but it increases the duration of poison, making it easier to stack it more.

Gonna try to 6L a Pledge of Hands and effectively run a 7L Essence Drain with a 6L Abyssal. Should be fun.

Wow I'm super jealous! I'm level 76 right now and really struggling with survivability. What are your defensive stats right now?

My damage is around 15k... my life is 3600 and my ES is around 2k. I still find the occasional pack that just instantly squashes me and struggling to move past that.
I am currently lvl 89 with this build. I absolutely love it. I'm running with about 4.5k hp and 4.7k ES. I am using a Consuming Dark dagger, and whirling blades to get around. It works so well. I normally just stay ranged, but against magic packs...I will Contagion them, Essence Drain one, then whirling blades in...cast my Abysal Cry with Poison gem linked, and then...no more pack.

The ES is a nice buffer against spike damage, and I can easily get away. I have been doing maps in the Tier 8-11 range with no problems. Did a Tier 11 Rare Crematorium that I hit with a Vaal orb last night, and killed the final boss in no time and took little damage. I just stacked about 5 shots on her at the beginning, and would pop in every once in a while to hit her a few more times. Just kept moving around to stay out of the fire.

Only found a few maps that were really difficult. Normally ones where the mobs keep spawning continuously that kept me from targeting the boss enough to stack my poisons from Consuming Dark. They were doable, but took a lot longer.

Not at my computer atm, but my ED does about 6k initial damage, and about 21k dot. Picked up the AoE nodes and skill duration. I find that I can farm Dried Lake in minutes. Just Contagion and ED, after rounding up a huge group. Thanks for this build.
