[2.2] Occultist (Contagion + Essence Drain) Beginner starting build
" Thank fucking god Had that all throughout my early normal act 4, the probleml was if the flat damage portion of your ED finished the mob, it wouldn't apply the dot and thus nothing would spread. So annoying. Especially considering the labyrinth (did it at around lvl 32) made me outlevel the early act 4 by a rather large margin. |

My Build so far and working quite good in solo mode

So what do we reckon, +100 ES Node and vile bastion = More ES nodes and run Discipline, taking us up to a LOT of energy shield.
Or Dual curse and Proflane, will be squishier but curses could make us safer even with less HP |

If I get the curses on the tree and the curses with the assendancy points, how come we only use 2 curses?

okay boys, im level 70 now, using a the consuming dark fiend dagger boost alot your single target damage, also im using the pierce gem instead of slower projectiles and damage wise this build is a beast, now when it comes to defense i still dont get it, should i go straight to Energy shield items, or what, it is just that i feel so squishy with 75resists on merc even with cast on damage taken and imortal call.
Ive played a ed+contagion shadow before, and used to use the node that converts evasion to armour and with a Rathpith Globe Titanium Spirit Shield i was "imortal". Im messing arround with gear right now (and since im poor) i droped some es gear for others, im right now with 3.5k hp and every now and then i still get oneshoted but it still better than before. what am i missing, or does the build need some tweeking. |

So im having some trouble with the build im hoping someone could help me understand...
im lvl 66 and i just got a 5l chest. currently my ED does 4k dps tooltip but when i hover iver it it says 11.5k chaos dmg per second but it feels like my dps is paper. if im with a party i can barely proc my contagion and get the chain reaction going because the mobs are too tanky to kill with the ED missile. the other people are ripping through the mobs while i stuggle to clear. if i run into a pack of resistant mobs its as if im useless because i cant get my ED to proc on contagion. also how come the contagion circle of efect seems so small.... ive seen and heard people clearing rooms with this.... as of now the clear speed is below average at best and on top of that its so easy to die im not tanky at all with 3.3k HP and 800ES.... what am i not understanding or what gear am i missing??? I got an upgraded shield that gave me 40% more spell damage and it only gave me 200DPS on ED. What is a good number on ED tooltip that would allow me to easily clear mobs with contagion. Keep in mind my ED is doing 11.5K chaos dmg per second once it hits but the inital proc is not rlly killing mobs fast enough to get the contagion off. help please? i only have like 5-7 dps nodes left in the tree so i dont see what im doing wrong.

Hi I have a question about the curse set up.
As you play with blasphemy the short range of the aura makes the curse in this set up more defensive right ? So why play Vulnerability with blasphemy ? Would it not make more sense to self curse vulnerability while having temporal chain and enfeeble in the blasphemy set up ? Also what aura would you play, if you where running an curse resistant map ? |

WTF guys why do you wanna Chaos penetration, is doesn't work on Damage over time spells only on Hit (you can check it on wiki) !

" Hi, I'm level 65 with a tabula found thanks to perandus, with gems not leveled, and I still need to swap my slower projectiles with Pierce (same "more damage", but hey, it pierces !). I have around 6K dps on ED per sec, not counting the Poison support gem. When I'm solo, clearing is a joke : contagion then ED on a white/blue mob near me and all the room / pack is cleared. If another pack is coming, chances are contagion will spread to it. When in party, I need wither, so a spell totem - wither (- faster casting) is mandatory. I don't think I'll be able to clear as fast as a CoC build. By the way, I took Void Beacon first (-20% chaos resist, 25% reduced life regen), I still don't have curses, and the AoE nodes does affect the spreading effect of contagion. Don't forget to cast contagion first and aim a squeashy mob to spread ED on the pack ! |
