[LHC] 2.6 Ramona's CI Essence Drain

Hi superjack010,

ive made some changes to your Tree:

I took Hexmaster to improve your Blasphemy Area and to improve the Curses.
Influence pushes Discipline and its even better than putting 2 points into 6% ES increase nodes.

Coordination improves Shield Charge movement, cast time and 10 int is a bonus.
No 100% pierce here, for the rare moments you think you need it, drop Temporal Chains for Projectile Weakness to get 100% again.

Why not Void Barrier?
You need 4 points and it gives you 20% ES increase (and hardly needed 2% evade, 8% ele resist). For 4 points you can get 24% ES by investing in 6% ES nodes.

The changes should bring you easily above 10k ES, improve your curses and damage should be quite similar.

Playing a modified version of this build. Been loving it so far, almost hitting 93 in Legacy Hardcore. I am sitting at 12.5k es currenty. Going to buy voidwalkers soon. If you're interested in my skill tree, my character page is open. Thinking about doing guardians. How does this build fair up against each guardian?

My current gear :

Hi all and hi Ramona,
i have an unusual question because i think i'm missing some really important Informations
or mechanics concerning CI/ED. i try to get myself to maps lvl 10+ but i have 2 bigger Problems:

1. i think my ES is to low, with my 7500 ES i get 1-shottet sometimes.
2. i think my damage with 4500 tooltip-dps is to low.

the Problem i have is that i dont know why and how get rid of These 2 things.

maybe someone can help me and is able to explain me some of my mistakes. i don't know if my Problems are gear- or skilltreewise.

thx in regard and good Drops for all of u

Hi tanteMYN,

You need to change your privacy settings (hide char tabs). Its on by default and therefore noone can check your chars/gear/tree.



Hi xAgility,

You got some pretty nice and expensive gear and an interesting build. :)
I wonder why you are not using Discipline and Vulnerability from your flask (since you went a 2 curse setup)? Thats quite a loss of dps and ES which you basically compensate with your good gear. For example Vulnerability provides more dps overall than Slower Projectiles.

In your case i would drop Temporal Chains for Discipline. You would gain more dps from flask and more ES. On top of that when needed you could use Projectile Weakness now in the rare cases you need a 100% pierce, no need to take Piercing Shots. Instead you could go for Method to the Madness for even more dps.

These are just suggestions. If you are fine with your build, dont change anything. :)

I knew i forgot something :)
Hopefully it's working now. I'm not introduced in poe's forum so if i forgot
another thing plz let me know :)

ive followed ur tree and ive picked void barrier up too, im still lvl 83 though and will prolly have 7 extra points later,

where can i put these 7 passive points for more damage?i feel like my damage isnt that great for single targets like uber izzaro

ive been thinking about taking the witch start spell damage passives

Hi RabzH,

since we are using Decay and not spamming ED like in a poison based build, 12% Damage over time nodes are better than 10% Spell damage ones. There are 2 next to Growth and Decay.

You could improve your single target damage by using Faster Casting with your Wither Spell Totem (atm you have 2x Wither). More stacks of Wither earlier means more damage earlier and 140% increased chaos damage on 20 stacks is alot.

Hi xAgility,

To be honest I haven't done the guardians myself.
I am unfortunately not the best source for this information. :)

Hi RabzH,

Single target is going to suffer when you are still running on a 5L and not using Empower.
Unfortunately an end game boss like Uber Izaro is not going to feel very fast with a budget setup.
This is where a large spike in your damage will come from, and very good jewels later on.

Hi tanteMYN,

I would recommend dropping your current chest and buying a 600+ ES one that is 5 linked.
A level 1 empower is not doing anything for your damage and a 150 ES chest is honestly horrible.
Also I would recommend buying a pair of Rainbowstride boots, and a better shield (350 es) at least.
I would use more defensive flasks than you currently are, I do not run any quicksilvers in my build.
Please review the Skill Trees, Gems and Gear section of my guides.
I personally do not use The Consuming Dark, I instead use a Delirium crafted Sai dagger.
Hopefully this helps. :)
