If you take a look at my profile, im sort of doing a mix between this build and zizarians build and i feel like its the best setup right now for mapping/bossing and the league mechanic.
The way i got it going is ED/Contagion for moniliths, you can zip around with flame dash, and use those unique gloves for a level 22 blight. Blight has like a 3ft radious, but it melts tough mobs around the totems and high level bosses if you use the wither totem. Its also great for temple bosses with there chaos resistances. Those gloves are dirt cheap and carried me up to t16. Then bane is my mapping skill. Im really only using ED/Contagion for monoliths and high tier mapping, but once bain levels up ill use that in high tier maps.
That looks really interesting. I've been using the Wither totem for as long as I can remember. It's pretty clunky most of the time though.
Thanks, I'll try this one out.
Withering totem felt clunky to me too, but the only time i feel like it necessary to use the totem is during boss fights. Which is why i got it on a helm swap with bane. With those gloves and a 5 link blight, bosses melt pretty quick with a whithering totem. Run in drop the totem and the boss is dead in like 5 seconds. I know its probably in my head but i feel like bossing is a night and day difference with those gloves and it feels like the totem is worth it now. But other than bossing and maybe a random red beast or betrayal mob the totem seems like a waste of 4 gem slots. I dont have a shaper helm yet, but a 4 link bane and a nice shaper mod seems like a much better option than a totem and it takes 2 seconds to swap.

Thanks for the help. Everything seems much smoother now.
The solution with a helmet swap doesn't seem ideal though, but I'll consider it.
Hi, first time playing ED contagion and trickster, I am at guardians right now and having trouble, I have 6k overall health and I still get 1 shot by minotaur by literally anything, and I do almost no damage. Where does most of my damage come from? Do I just use contagion then ed and dodge for a few seconds and then repeat, or is most of my damage coming from blight? I also have an empower lvl 2 is that better as a 6l than energy leech or is it only better at lvl4. How can I best improve my damage? Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
To those who got this build to high level, what's the best chest piece to use in your experience? I'm still using a random rare I picked up somewhere. lol

You can make a 5-link Blight spell totem link with those gloves, right? might be an option with the unique jewel
You probably can i havent tried it tho. I just discovered the gloves existed the other day looking at POE ninja and bought mine for 5c and i felt like my single target skyrocketed compared to the 4 link blight setup i had before.
I tried it last night and really liked it. The link is Blight - Multiple Totems -Spell Totems - Controlled Destruction - Swift Affliction. I just realized I accidentally put in Conc Effect over Controlled Destruction, whoops!
Do you prefer casting blight? Cause then you have 3 Spells to cast, and that to me is suboptimal, when you could just use a totem for one of them.
