[2.5] Essence Drain Build Options (HC Uber Atziri/Shaper Viable)
|
Hi.
Could you show me where are the ascendancy points that i should invest in? |

Playing the build through now, really enjoying it, level 66 (almost 67) - just have a few questions.
- Why do we take so many Area Damage nodes? Seems like the only Area Damage skill we have is Contagion, and that doesn't do much damage compared to ED. - I got a Consuming Dark, but the poison doesn't feel like it's really doing much. I notice we didn't get much DoT damage in our tree (I'm using the normal levelling build) - is this perhaps why? Or is there something I'm missing? |

I just wanted to thank you for all the work you put into this guide. It really goes above and beyond across the board. As a new player I've been struggling to find my way through the incredible depth this game offers. Your guide and videos helped me immensely. I'll be rolling my first hardcore self found character in your honor!

I'm currently lvl 72 and I follow the life version.
I have a question concerning gearing. Do I want to have life and ES on all my gear or life / armour ? This is my current loadout:

Gear
Flasks
I'm aware of the fact that my 2 mana flasks need to be upgraded. |

So at what level can you consistently have the mana to keep 2 curses up at the same time? I'm 41 and can only manage Clarity and Temporal Chains. I've tried going the no Clarity route and double up curses but I can't maintain it.
Do I have to wait until Heretic's Veil? I'd rather not pump mana regen %... Edit: Another question- why is spell totem needed? Can't you just cast Wither as-is from afar? Perhaps I'm ignorant about how the totem works- does it autocast once you drop it? Last edited by pKleck#5532 on Sep 9, 2016, 12:44:18 PM

Yes it will keep casting wither

that is better to pick in ascendatcy points than leveling on normal and cruel?

" it is % reserved mana, you actually need to use blood magic to have curses + buff up, or maybe with the %reduce reserved mana ? Last edited by jeanpruneau#1556 on Sep 9, 2016, 5:13:21 PM

" AOE is for Contagion . ED works as first - initial damage . In fact, ED only kill 1 mob ( without pierce gem). Contagion will make sure ED's damage spread out for all affected mobs. More AOE = More AOE of Contagion. Consuming dark is only for single target ( boss ) kill. With trash mobs, because they died so fast therefore you do not see actual benefit of CD. Try with and without CD when kill boss and you will see the difference. | |
" 41 is still way too low to use any thing.Honestly, I only respect to 2 curses ~ 60+. |
