Delirium essences sure shot up overnight...
Added a few vids from before I died on the lvl 93.

I have been running Lurifaxx's Soul Ward Occultist build now in standard for awhile now with some success and was wondering how the new crafting essences would help a CI build using the good sync from soulstrike/wicked ward, so how well does this bow stack up against a standard +3 poison arrow bow using the same defenses and ascendency points, im curious about crafting a bow with the decay mod and also perhaps a couple of rings with the 40% poison buff with 80% for 2 rings and decay on a bow?
Remember when high end gear was really high end !

United fortunately Decay doesn't get applied with caustic arrow cloud. You have to "hit" with a attack/spell for it to apply. You could drop a ca cloud and have a Decay bow on swap and apply ed and Decay to stack 3 dots. Ppl are doing that iirc.

With Decay being nerfed do you think the Woe spell damage is possibly the better option for a bow now? I know we don't know the extent of the nerf, but I'm sure it will be noticable.
How do you manage your mana? With two blasphemys plus Discipline, with the reductions from the tree you end up with 90% mana reserved. I currently have 700 mana and any extra from gear is giving me very little.
is this a good build for start out the upcoming breach league in HC? I never played ED.

I guess it will be difficult as when to switch over to CI and playing long time with low life pool until we can switch?

thanks
So with the nerfs to both Delirium and Soul Strike,

Is Decay Bow + SS still the way to go on endgame, or Decay Wand + Shield might become the better choice?

What about Decay wand vs Consuming Dark?

Lastly, there was a minor buff to Trickster (8% reduced Phys dmg if you spent 200 mana recently) that seems interesting... I guess trickster could be considered if we are not longer going Bow and Quiver, right?

Hi, I'm thinking of starting Breach league with this build. Do you use poison in this build at all? or have you skipped it to use a Decay weapon? If so, is it still better than poison after the nerf?
