[2.2] Occultist (Contagion + Essence Drain) Beginner starting build
" Those nodes are not just area damage nodes, they also give area radius. That is the main reason you want those nodes, so that Contagion jumps between packs easier. 30% radius from the tree is huge. I would drop the "Method to the Madness" cluster (and the 3 points spent to get to it) and grab the area nodes. Last edited by Wombo#3277 on Mar 11, 2016, 3:47:30 AM

" I went up first, than right, than left in the "current" tree I posted. If I would do it again I would go up (to Corruption), left (to Shaper), right (down till Method to Madness first) |

RIP ED spread after 2.2.1: Contagion spreads ED only once after patch. Dont know if it's a bug but it's unplayable right now.

What kind of jewels are best for this build?
|
|
" % increased damage over time % increased chaos damage % increased projectile damage % increased maximum life % increased spell damage % increased damage % increased spell damage while holding a shield I would aim for at least 3 of those mods on a jewel |

Hey, so having Vulnerability and TC up really eats at my mana pool. Any tips to offset this?
|
|
" You really dont need much mana, you need cast contagion once and ED once, with 4L/6L and lvl 18 gems it takes about 130 mana and I have 240 with no extra mana talents just with gear. PS This applies if GGG fully fixes ED spread |

Was planning to do ED build earlier on, this patch feels like heaven. Damn that build is awesome.
The biggest question for me is what resource to run, I'm really considering going entirely ES: so CI or LL. Correct if I'm mistaken: LL: Pros: Prism guardian with at least 2 auras, thinking of discipline and arctic armor, maybe some purity of top of that, since res might be a problem with few more uniques, vitality is an option too. Requires Shavs, extra bit of spell damage from Pain Attunement. CI: Both shield and chest can be rare, which might end up having more ES. Any other thoughts?
