hi i ask again :) maybe my english isnt that good so i´m just a nap at PoE and my question was just if you got an order like:

normal lab - Void Beacon
cruel lab - Forbidden Power
Merc lab - wicked ward
Uber lab - vile bastion

its just for me and info that i can focus on something i cant use my brain for something like that :)

So this is variable and depends on some decisions you make.

If you choose to use Soul Tether Cloth Belt do not go Wicked Ward -> Vile Bastion (they don't work together well). Instead go for 2nd curse from Profane Bloom & Malediction. You can then drop the Doedre's Ring (it's really a crap ring in all stats except we need it early for 2nd curse) and get quality ring.

If you have a good +1 curse corrupted amulet then go for Wicked Ward -> Vile Bastion with good ES gear for heavy ES defense. If you are fine with going end-game with Doedre's Ring same stands (although you have the option to take just Profane Bloom and then at uber lab just Wicked Ward if you don't need Vile Bastion).

If you chose to go for Whispers of Doom (keystone within 4 passive points of our path) you can take above advice and do as you please as you don't need Malediction - unless you really want to go creative and go tri-curse.

You will be taking these:
Void Beacon & Forbidden Power (order doesn't matter - up to you)

I am trying currently to Blight CwC Dark pact, following this guide a little bit with some changes.

I'm not 100% sure what i'm doing, and i wanted to ask if in the end game i'll manage to make it work with average gears?

Use Path of Building to plan it out. Ask yourself how you will manage to avoid stuns; how you will manage to stay at high life and mana (i.e., via regen, leech, or pot spam); and what your single target damage will be; what your AoE pack clear will be. If you have answers that are satisfactory to all of those then you will know.

With Blight I assume you are taking the unique Jewel for Rot. Does DP CwC setup cause self-damage? Are you going to use Skeletons?

It's too hard for me to answer your questions without a PoB link so I can see all the moving pieces.

This is how my build looks like so far.

Yes, DP still cause self damage.

Going to switch to Apep's rage x2 as soon as i get enough chaos.

Also, i was thinking about running tri-curse (Temp chain, Enfeeble and Warlord's mark), by taking whispers of doom in the passive tree, but one of the curses will activate when taking damage.

I also need a suggestion on how to avoid getting stunned without kaom's root.
