[3.10] Death's Oath CI Occultist (RETIRED)

"

I'd also swap out void manip on allelopathy for infused channeling. Reads like a global 10% more chaos buff.

Yeah nice, I'll probably do that. I haven't thought about optimal gem setups yet.

so what about soulrend/bane instead of ed?

and why should blight apply wither?

and btw can u make a 3.6 viable poe tree?

also could use witchfire brew for despair curse and go for profane bloom and malediction to add enfeeble as 3rd curse f.e.

Spreading rot applies wither along with blight, not blight alone. I misspoke.

It's the same tree as before.

I don't want to drop void beacon to get malediction. We lose a lot of damage if we do. I've had no issue with survivability without enfeeble, and I'd rather not lose the damage. Despair reserves nothing because of Impresence, Witchfire would be pointless. The only scenario I'd use Witchfire is if I use Solstice Vigil instead of Impresence, lose 15% damage to free up the mana from temp chains to fit in Malevolence, but which again doesn't seem like a good idea cause we won't have enough unreserved mana left to cast bane/soulrend/ED.

so what about soulrend/bane instead of ed?

Soulrend looks good, but I have to test the duration of it. Also the mana cost is higher than ED, that might be an issue if we have to recast it frequently (which is a likely possibility).

Bane has the same issue has the previous question, I need to apply curses (within my curse limit of 2) with it for it to be good. Let's say I cast both temp chains and despair with it. I have 44%-50% of mana freed up, what do I use it for? It's not enough for malevolence and keeping 50% mana free gives me no extra benefit (afaik MOM doesn't work with CI). So I'm losing perma up curses to manual cast curses for no reason. Also it would take a lot of gem swaps to switch between bane+curses for bossing and DO+blasphemy curses for mapping, nevermind the fucky colors unless you have 6w sockets.

Lose 2x 25% increased chaos damage taken when hindered from Spreading Rot.

Does this have a big impact on the build? Is it now -25% damage compared to last league? What changed to make this reduction?

'Spreading Rot no longer causes enemies Hindered by Blight to take increased Chaos Damage, and instead now causes Blight to inflict Withered on enemies for 2 seconds per copy of Spreading Rot.'

It's not as bad as looks, for majority of cases we have more damage.

why no pain attunement?

Cause we're not LL. Why not LL? Check LL section.

I'm trying to decide between this build, CI vortex, and Herald of Agony for my league start. Does Anyone have any thoughts between those?
How easy is it to make a viable ED from this build if you get to maps and decide DO is not for you?

I always start occultist ED and then farm up jewelers until DO has 4 off colors + 1 red at least. ED/cont occultist is strong.

This build is basically the most simple to follow if you decide you don't want to go DO (sell your off colored DO for a lot). All of the chaos dot builds use basically the same core passive tree and items.

Last league 6 socket was bugged so I was at 5 off colored for a while and I swapped back to a tabula for ED/cont until I could craft the DO.
