GhazzyTV - Essence Drain & Contagion (or Bane/Soulrend) Trickster [SC/HC/Uber Elder/Shaper]

Ok guys, to give you guys my 2 cents regarding the Contagion nerf:

Yes, it hit the ED/Contagion playstyle which was extremely efficient during Legion league and will still be very fine for coming leagues. However, I personally have always preferred the Bane playstyle since it was introduced to the game as a simple specing into Hex Master and having Bane on a 4L could clear insanely huge areas as well as up to t16 maps then using ED for single target.

I was thinking going Bane aswell after Contagion nerf, 3 points for hexmaster and 4 link for clear looks easier for league start aswell.

EDIT: And maybe spice it up with QotF :P

So do I have to recreate the tree to go into hex master skill point if I decided to use Bane? How do I get those points, could someone post pob with bane included?

I'll remove 2 points after revenge of the Haunted, 1 after blood drinker and spec those 3 into Hex Master, cuz softcore n00b. After I get qotf I'll play around with evasion on tree and see where it takes me :).

EDIT: removing 1 from Discipline and Training over Blood drinker gives +1% HP, worth.

EDIT2: Or maybe I wont play spreading rot, will stick with wither, 2 points right there.

I have the 4L listed in the guide for Bane but it isn't applying Despair which I noticed yours was applying it in the video. What am I doing wrong ?

EDIT:Nvm my gem was out leveled.

Yeah would like to know as well what to sacrifice to get inot Hex Maste. But dont we need 4 points? or are you just going 2 point into the actual circle cus u need 1 point to get there for that 1 int node.Cant see how u can unlock Hex Master with the current buold and just 3 points.

Ive read the main post but cant see an answer, but when do we switch from pulse to ED & Contagion- I'm level 20 and running in a 3 link with Void Manipulation and the low cast speed on ED is making it torturous to play.

EDIT= NVM worked out what I was doing wrong.

How about a 6link bane and a 4link ED , since we are not using cont now?

Watch the video guide. It is far more concise in this particular.
