[3.8] Death’s Oath Occultist - Death Whisperer(CI) Updated regularly

Hey guys, for the next league I think I'm going to try to figure out a 6l Death's oath build that messes around with Vaal Blight inside of the armor. I know 6linking is even more adventurous than just 6 socketing the armor with the right colors. I'm currently working on something, so hopefully I can have a really nice setup for you guys in a few days between my 80 hours a week a work and class on the side, if you have any suggestions to try to help me get the most out of the build just leave a comment! I'm hoping that Delve will still be around for the next league and if we're lucky the big reveal gives us incursion!

Hope everyone is excited for 3.5 Death's Oath Occultist! Looks like we'll finally be getting a decent amount of damage out of all of our effort!

The Passive Tree for "Death's Assault - (Delve + Minion Damage)" is broken as it is from 3.3. Do you have a 3.4 link, please?

Hey! Was pretty sure I had made this tree when 3.4 came out but you're correct it someone became broken. I've corrected this in the location, however I'll also post it here for you http://poeurl.com/b7AA

This still points to a 3.3 skill tree with no points showing, while I think I've worked out a pretty good tree, it would be nice to see yours :)


p.s. having fun with the build. My investment so far is just under 3ex (im poor)so not the best gear. Can't wait to see what ya come up with for 3.5

I'm not sure why it keeps giving a blank 3.3 tree =(

I've checked my tree again to make sure that it's correct but I dunno. You can always take a peak at my character DeathWhisperer_Delve

I'll try linking the tree again as well

ty for posting the skill tree, that one works. It seems I did get the tree just about right.

One difference I made was to take the skill duration nodes above Shaper as I like to use Phase Run for delving.

Really like having a tougher Minion that doesn't die every to seconds, the Blight/ED setup feels good also.

Like i said, can't wait to see what you come up with for 3.5(hyped) I'm not looking forward to trying to 6 link Death's Oath though, RNG hates me as I've never got one without buying it :(

I'll have to admit I'm not entirely looking forward to 6 linking it either. I might just stick with the Blight in the gloves. CWC with ED is nice but personally I prefer a stronger blight.

I've also been using Phase Run I recently respected (twice) wanted to try out hybrid es/life and then remembered why I scratched that idea except for leveling

Currently the biggest thing I'm looking forward to that I know about for sure is the dual totems, this will stack wither twice as fast and (Also keep them up longer because they usually die in a hit or two)

I know they are adding more chaos over time modifiers to the passive skill tree, however I'll need more information to get really excited over this.

Next league I should have plenty of free time to update the build however I'm also really excited to be trying out winter orb so I suppose that will also take away a little bit of my time.

Tree is updated for 3.5 (the level 100 tree that is)

Was going to use Dual totems for twice the wither but it took a few minutes for Wither from the Occultist passive to sink into my brain... However it's our Uber Lab ascend so double totems are still in until you there!

New tree still have the minion damage to us node.
Went for more ES Recharge, also faster start of it. With great gear we can get this down to a .9 second wait time for recharge (If an equivalent Leo Craft exist) ((I think we might get something even better))

Changed Watcher's Eye from Flat regen Vit and % ES regen Disc to %mana as ES Clarity and %faster start of Recharge Disc (Likely still expensive but a great item to work up to)

Might remove the need for chaos Impressence with running only one curse (Yes I know curses are great, but they're only 80% effective on our target goal, also with Hexproof being an issue again it felt like a small waste to invest in something that we might not get a huge amount out of half the time between hexproof, reduced curse effectiveness and the general fact that monsters are resistant to curses in a dramatic upscale fashion.

Cane of Unravelling Might be a greaat option for 6ling a Vaal Blight with it's new % non-ailment chaos damage multiplier (Wish they had a smaller name for it like %MOAR CHAOS DOT NOT POISON)

However the above mod will be available on shaper/elder weapons as well as jewels. So I can just imagine a nice dagger with minion damage, damage on full life, non-ailment chaos damage multiplier and corrupted for % increased damage over time.

With Double corruptions back in the game I'm expecting to see out non boss damage rise well over 200k though I'm currently only at 190k on PoB with some meh gear from standard.

So basically Wicked Ward - Vile Bastion - Void Beacon - Withering Pressense for "more damage"?

Wicked Ward - Vile Bastion - Profane Bloom - Malediction for "more defense"?

Makes me wonder with the changes and how much more damage we'll be getting passively that if theres even a point to going Void Beacon and Withering Pressense. I get a feeling it'll be overkill unless you're doing some high ass map tiers and in which case, sure... but the build itself isnt really meant for guardians etc.

FlasherCatcher, could you also add PoB link? Interesting to see.

Personally I feel Void Beacon is better than Malediction, but only because I'm kinda meh about curses. I'll probably hate losing out on the chaos explosions but honestly I think a passive wither will more than make up for it I've been able to kill all of the guardians rather slowly. I've died a few times from casting totems at a terrible time (This should save me from myself hopefully)

However with the new patch we're almost doubling our damage, so I'm expecting most things to litterally melt and without passive explosions I might force myself to play around with Abyssal Cry.

While going Malediction would definitely make you survive a little longer, I'm not sure if we want to just survive anymore.

Some people are fine with just being a map clearing machine, I'd rather squeeze as much out of the build as possible.
