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

Been following the build for bestiary , and i'm almost going to hit maps in a couple of hours.

Quick question about Blight / wither.

Which one of the 2 should i use for killing bosses ? , i bought allelopaly globes , wither reduces the chaos res of enemies right? while blight just adds a DoT and hinder effect.

It's wierd atm , since you can only have one spell totem at the sime time.

if im not mistaken, you link wither with spell totem then just place totem on ground on fights, and manually cast blight

Hey,

Shield charge is just imo the most comfortable and fastest movement ability, this build is nowhere near a tank build so no, you should not be shield charging in to packs, Fortify is there in case you were to do just that!


Well there's my problem! :P

Use the Pantheon "Brine King" which will remove any possibility of chain stunning you :)


Piggyback question: If you upgrade initial pantheon ability, does the upgrade stack with the first ability? Or replace the first one with the new one?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Off-topic: I've watched your videos and can't place your accent. European for sure lol. If you don't mind answering, I'm curious.

When upgrading quality of gems, what would you say has priority?
I saw that people used to use consuming dark in essence drain builds to poison for single target dmg, but that seems to have fallen from favor. Anything change about poison mechanics?

This is nowher near the most optimal but my priority order is this:

Contagion = QoL spread
ED and any support gems in it's links for most dmg.

Aye, poison no longer bases it's dmg from the initial hit (fixed with doubledipping patch).

hey was wondering if using a wand would give me higher damage output then a dagger or should i stick with a delirium crafted dagger

At least last league (and standard), if you put Totem on the gloves then both Wither and Blight became totems.

Don't put totem on the gloves -- put it on the helmet or boots instead. Blight will benefit from the Contagion buffs better anyway.
Hello! A very noobish question but I can see in your passive tree that you have put a skill in mind over matter, but is that necessary once you get cloak of defiance or should i remove it once I get cloak of defiance?

Thanks in advance
