I have however added "occultist" to the title to avoid confusion.

I am really enjoying the guide sofar. Only mid-merciless but having lots of fun. Quick noob question regarding the two last ascendency points: As far as I know Profane Bloom only works for cursed enemies yet I don't see a curse in your guide setup. What did I miss?

i rerolled a new char for this build and after improving my gear i have to say it´s a really great build! killed piety and dominus with level 64 solo - without dying. but the bug with contagion /drain essence sucks hard... died now 4 times in act because it didnt spread. it´s really annoying but i think i will definitely carry on this build.

I really want to know this too. It's been bugging me ever since I read the main post. Is there something we're missing? Profane seems like a wasted point if you do not have a curse to activate it.

At level 68 and this is a really fun build, thanks! At first I was resistant to give up two wands as others have mentioned, however now I'm enjoying dagger + shield with Whirling Blades. I agree that Pierce kicks Slower Projectile's butt. The faster projectiles make it easier to hit your intended target, and if a mob sneaks in front, it often goes through because of Pierce. Feels way nicer. One question: why not use both? With Pierce + Empower (lvl 2) I've got a 12.8K/s ED, with Pierce + Slower Projectiles it's 14.2K/s. Is it just a playstyle preference with the slower projectiles or is there something else I'm missing? Thanks again!	Posted by midtown on Jun 23, 2016, 1:35:52 AM Quote this Post

Empower 4 > Slower Proj 20/20 > Empower 3.	Posted by djnat on Jun 23, 2016, 9:32:58 AM Quote this Post
