[3.15] CI Essence Drain Build | Trickster | Expedition | Path of Exile 3.15

Hey guys, another essence drain build is here but this time CI version. I used this for mayhem event and also viable for endless delve and flashback events. Only problem with the build is single target damage but it's fine you are gonna kill bosses slowly but surely. Other than clear speed and defences are great. Hardcore viable, ssf friendly.

Thanks mate!

will this build be doable in standard league?

Hey!

Is it possible to league start with this build?
I guess the CI part will come later on

Would the bosses die quicker with 6L Blight? Is 6L ED needed for map clearing?
