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

ED will be op and very good start build, even if they nerf Contagion ( just radius, and what?? it doesn't matter),
They cancel +1 wand, and? just faster go to 4l.... No problem
They "nerf" Ghost Dance, and...? just 1% less, u will not even feel that in the game. Just numbers, Trick ED gonna be OP like he was.

What u mean? i played ED about 3/4 years and i know what i write.
What are your arguments?

i also think that radius of contagion isnt a big problem becouse you spreading it with ED anyway so this nerf didnt really affect you imo.

Trickster ED will still be viable yes, but OP in what way?

The main strength of ED has always been the clear, not its mediocre damage. Nerfing contagion radius is nerfing the biggest strength of ED.

How far it spreads depends on pack density and the area of contagion. That's why people use increased aoe and intensify. How does the nerf not affect you?

Ok guys, to give you guys my 2 cents regarding the Contagion nerf:

Yes, it hit the ED/Contagion playstyle which was extremely efficient during Legion league and will still be very fine for coming leagues. However, I personally have always preferred the Bane playstyle since it was introduced to the game as a simple specing into Hex Master and having Bane on a 4L could clear insanely huge areas as well as up to t16 maps then using ED for single target.
