What level of ED do you have? I'm 1,3k dps behind that.

29.
It's way more important to keep despair/max wither and fish for minion pact + drain ailment proc, tbf. Level is ~ 1.14 multiplier, and all the procs/debuff is the main source, where the damage comes from. Missing even the weakest one (drain ailment) is worth more than 2 levels.

No idea how you managed to get all that gear on ssf.

Mostly gambling (than regal blues and 3-1). Fortunately it rains gold in maps, if you spam them fast. I think over half of my slots came from this or expedition.

On higher tiers and with fully speced atlas there are also explosions of rares from bosses, but usually all of them are useless.

And managed to fit ring with +6 mana on kill to the build (would prefer gloves, but my resists don't allow me yet).

There is also suffix - recover 1-2% mana on kill for gems.

adavydow, really appreciate you adding input from you experience along the way, I'm following it closely as I slowly catch up.

One edit... is the gem setup you are using still the same as in the mobalytics link you previously posted?

One more question, for drain ailments I assume you are procing it with the poison from envenom on Dark Effigy. Have you ever tried flame wall since the essence projectiles shot through it ignite to know if it would work to proc drain ailment support? Hope that makes sense.

I made a version with 3x Blasphemy (Temporal, Enfeeble, Despair) and Time Freeze. Everything is just super slow or time frozen around me. Still great damage and for normal monsters I can mindlessly spam Hexblast.

Sooo much better than my previous clunky weak Hammer of the Gods Chronomancer.

I used it during the first two acts of the campaign. Once I got effigy, switched to envenom, I find it easier.

More or less, got a couple more support sockets, but nothing too important (maybe saving orbs for the next characters would be a better idea). I'll update mobalytics with my current setup tomorrow.

Hi!

Can anyone of you share what links and what gems you have while while playing blood mage with pure chaos witch?

Also, do you take any defensive nodes for energy shield?

Thank you <3

Is this working? I was under the assumption that enemy's can only be affected by one curse at a time or two with the key note in the passive tree?
