I'm having issues with surviving, that are likely the result of still being fairly new to the game and generally bad at dodging mechanics. It has raised a few questions though: 1) Shield Charge, are we supposed to use that to charge into the front line of a pack of enemies to proc Fortify and then start the Contagion/ED chain? Or do we just start the Contagion/ED chain as soon as we see some enemies at the edge of the screen? The ED projectile travels so damn slowly that I've mostly been rushing into the enemies. Maybe that's my problem :P and 2) If you've got a bunch of mobs in your face, how do you stop from just getting stun locked? Frequently some bitch will jump at me, stun me as I was activating Contagion, before even getting an ED off, and now other enemies have jumped on me or rushed me and I can't get that shit out of my face. Suggestions?

Besides all this, I'm loving the build. My first ED character and it's very satisfying to watch ED go from one enemy to the next and to see the whole pack die in a single wave. And then to hear enemies off-screen dying too. Good times!

Hello! Been running this build up to 70 and it's really great!

1 thing I have been struggling with is which dagger to use? Or which dagger/ilvl to craft with Essence of Delirium?

Thanks for the build and all your great comments/ forums updates!

Been following the build for bestiary , and i'm almost going to hit maps in a couple of hours.

Quick question about Blight / wither.

Which one of the 2 should i use for killing bosses ? , i bought allelopaly globes , wither reduces the chaos res of enemies right? while blight just adds a DoT and hinder effect.

It's wierd atm , since you can only have one spell totem at the sime time.

Hey,

Shield charge is just imo the most comfortable and fastest movement ability, this build is nowhere near a tank build so no, you should not be shield charging in to packs, Fortify is there in case you were to do just that!

Use the Pantheon "Brine King" which will remove any possibility of chain stunning you :)

if im not mistaken, you link wither with spell totem then just place totem on ground on fights, and manually cast blight

Piggyback question: If you upgrade initial pantheon ability, does the upgrade stack with the first ability? Or replace the first one with the new one?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Off-topic: I've watched your videos and can't place your accent. European for sure lol. If you don't mind answering, I'm curious.

I saw that people used to use consuming dark in essence drain builds to poison for single target dmg, but that seems to have fallen from favor. Anything change about poison mechanics?
