On your stream, you once mentioned that you did an RF version of ED/Contagion. How does that compare to this version?
|
|
" A bit higher DPS, but much lower clear speed due to lack of whirling blades & Trickster availability. Single target boss fights was a bit faster but in general lacked clear speed for good exp/h feeling. Slightly tankier but also higher budget cost. If combined with that leagues talisman necklaces you could run uber super safely with it, even in hardcore. But the talisman required was a league specific unique granting 100% of lightning dmg taken to be fire dmg. Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Could you use Lioneye's Vision chest for the 7 link?
I have a 6 link one on another character that I was wondering if I can transfer over to my new ED/contagion character. Just gotta recolor. |

" It is one of the optimal choices indeed, if linked with lvl 3+ Empower. Only problem is that you lose the possibility of getting an easy +1. Which still is worse than lioneyes vision if you have lvl 3+ Empower. Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Great build !
I made a preliminary Scion version for 2.3 which basically is as close to the original as possible but utilizes the new 8 point Ascendant ( giving offensive / defensive / mana buffs as well as frenzy charge generation and Onslaught ). Additionally the Scion tree provides a lot of needed stats ( str, int, dex ) as well as Resistances without wasting points. http://poeurl.com/DlQ Alternatively one can choose the Deadeye ascension instead of Raider for 100% pierce and an extra projectile. Here is a levelling tree for Level 70ish with decent life and damage already before picking up the Shadow start after which one can transition to the main build by refunding 14 ( out of 30 available just by doing quests ) passive points and grabbing Iron Reflexes and damage / more life : http://poeurl.com/DlW When Chuck Norris plays PoE masters do his missions Last edited by AdFinitum#3969 on May 24, 2016, 1:08:48 PM

" I personally don't like piercing for ED, it's not a bad thing but if i can chose anything else for it i would since you only need to hit 1 target as well as the fact that with the new pierce gem being a more dmg multiplier (at least for now...) we already have 50% piercing freely.

" Pierce is just an option - the Raider ascension gives Frenzy charges on kill and Onslaught at full frenzy charges which should hugely increase clear speed. When Chuck Norris plays PoE masters do his missions

" Raider is amazing, I still think I'd prefer the Walk the Aether to remove mana issues when not killing things :) It's just a higher QoL! Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub
