So I recently got a shav's while playing this build. So my question is does this build benefit from lowlife if so how? Also side note I dont have a +1 bow yet and could obviously afford to craft one with profits if I sold shavs. So what will give this character more damage/tankiness.
I am playing this build with low life + tri curse via .
If you want damage: go low life. it's 30% more damage, +1 gems can't top that. If you want more ES aka more survivability stay CI, craft +1 and invest in better ES pieces.
It really depends what you want. With low life I was able to do everything (maps up to t16, guardians, uber atziri...) except shaper. I tried im once but I think my 8.6k ES just aren't enough.
Question about the decay mod on bow. If I kept my essence drain in the six link body armor and just got a cheap 5 link bow with decay mod would it still work ok. Obviously it wouldnt be as good as a six link bow with plus gems mode, but would it still work if the essence drain gems arent in the actual bow?

The only reason you'd put it in the bow is for the +1 gems. If the bow doesn't have that, it doesn't matter. Feel free to use a chest.

The decay won't benefit from the support gems I think.

It will benefit from support gems, but only ones that would apply to it as well. So Void Manipulation, Rapid Decay, I think Controlled Destruction, etc. They all have to apply to the skill being used to apply Decay as well.

Im fairly new to ED mechanic and just recently try to build a character based on ED contagion.
My question is:
How good it is to just put pierce support gem into ED with no pierce chance from passive tree. With just 50% chance to pierce is it enough and QOL enough for mapping?
How is it make a difference if i didn't use pierce support gem at all, or if i take the notes to reach 100% pierce chance, is it worth the extra point in passive tree??

The pierce gem is primarily for the 19% More Projectile Damage and the 10% increased from quality. The actual piercing of it is quality of life.
