[2.5/2.6/3.0] Occultist - Blight 195K DPS ES/EV/AA/FOR [Gameplay Video]
|
Introduction
I have been playing this character the last 4 weeks and it has been the most fun I ever had in path of exile. I was quite scared of the offense and defense when I started. For the offense, I decided to use Skin of the loyal at level 1. Didn't have any problem with my offense ever since. I was able to level from 1 to 95 while using only blight. For the defense, you cannot leech with Blight. Pohx used Xigil Crank in is build which gave him an amazing defense. However, I wanted to use Skin of the loyal which required me to use an ES shield. I decided to go crazy with "start of energy shield recharge". Plus, I didn't want the increased global defense stats of the skin to go waste ... let use evasion !!!! With these two mechanisms, my character is way more tanky that what I was expecting. Overall the character worked well on "budget" and scale very well with investment! 2.6 The only nerf to the build is vaal disciple. 3.0 Overall the build continue to work as intended. ES is just lower but still around 10K. Best gem setup for 3.0 is Blight, CD, Efficacy, Void, Empower, Swift Affliction. However, one upgrade could be the new blight threshold jewel. Personally, I'm not a fan. I prefer rare jewel that increase the start of ES recharge.

Bandits Normal - Point Cruel - Cast Speed Merciless - Point Mandatory Gears WARNING ! My gear is very good, the build works very well with lesser items. However, you need for red map at least these 1) Skin of the loyal BBBGGR 2) 1 Elreon Ring 3) Breath of the Council 4) Eye of Chayula 5) High start of energy shield recharge (at least 60%) 6) ES Shield, Helmet, Boots and Glove for at least 10K ES Since skin of the loyal provides 0 ES, you need good ES gears.
Spoiler
1) Skin of the loyal This is the most important item in the build. It scales the offense, ES and evasion. For the color, we need BBBGGR. First, buy a normal one Second, try to buy one with a nice corruption like +1% max elemental resistance When you are rich (got mine at ~20ex), buy a corrupted +1 level to socketed gem 2) Elreon Ring You need a -8 mana cost ring. This is mandatory for sustaining your mana. Extra point if you have + elreon extra mod + % increased energy shield + faster start of energy shield recharge 3) Breath of the Council Breath provides you two critical stats, chaos damage and duration. 4) Eye of Chayula You need stun immunity. 5) Faster start of energy shield recharge Unique Jewel Leo Level 3 Jewel 6) High Energy Shield items Helm Enchants I prefer blight area of effect for better clear speed 1 Blight Area of Effect 2 Blight Damage 3 Vulnerability effect Current Gears

Yes Really.
Spoiler
The 40% (from 2 jewels) make my energy shield start 240 ms faster. This can be the difference between life and death. We don't have any leech or life regen. The 10% more damage taken is only while the energy shield is full. I never died because of this. Map Can do most of the map mods except + No Regen + All hit ignite, douable but slow down our recharge Improvement Left + Buy enlighten level 4 [DONE] + good enchent for boots and glove + Improve Jewel + Buy level 21 gems Special Thanks to Pohx - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1790235 [2.3]InfernalBlow FaceBreaker - 11 Grand Spectrum - 118K DPS - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1699600 [2.5]Occultist - Blight - https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1814013 Designer of Warden's Brand - http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/The_Warden%27s_Brand Last edited by omirandette#0821 on Aug 30, 2017, 11:22:17 AM Last bumped on Jan 1, 2018, 11:55:18 AM

I will add more details in the post.
Life and ES and I switched very early to CI. I wouldn't recommend that for hardcore. I would wait around level 50 or 60. For the skill, plain blight with empower in skin of the loyal.
