Im trying out this built for SSF. So far it went decent. I'm sitting at 12.700 ES at level 84. ES just hit level 19 and my damage is getting "okay".
A big problem is getting that delirium essence :(. I was running a few other chars in SSF before this one so i was pretty stocked on remnants. When i started searching for Delirium I had 12 Remnants and found 2 more along the way. So 14 Remnants. I used up 10 of those and right now i am sitting at 4 Remnants. I got all the other 3 corruption only essences but no delirium yet :((.
I fear my Remnants will go out before i can get a delirium. Is there any way to get Remnants quicker?
Do higher tier maps have a higher chance for high tear essences?
Any tricks involved in getting that essence in SSF?

Thoughts on this build as of 3.0 right now? I have been trying to make something work in PoB. Dropped Zealoth's Oath and specced Vile Bastion in ascendancy and Essence Surge in tree to rely on Shield recharge instead. What do you think of this?

I also pathed down to Method to the madness and got the chaos nodes in the start of assassin to scale the decay better since it only scales from chaos dmg and damage over time(?)

dmg link is ED + Rapid decay + Void manipulation + controlled destruction + efficiacy + decay

I hold on merciless lab untill i can complete uber labyrinth aswell, because of how bad prophane bloom is for mapping.

Would this be a good starter build for the 2 week Mayhem? Or would the damage be too low if you start mapping without some of the key items/delirium.
