GhazzyTV - Essence Drain & Contagion (or Bane/Soulrend) Trickster [SC/HC/Uber Elder/Shaper]

If you use the blue 'Blasphemy Support' gem with the blue 'Despair' gem the curse will be used as a aura that is always on and reserves a portion of your mana while it is active.

Howcome so many people using ED/contagion over soulrend or bane? Are they just better?

I went back and forth for a bit, but finally settled on Bane/Soulrend. It just came down to which playstyle I enjoy more really. My DPS is insane, clearspeed is hot, can take down Uber Elder. What more could I want?

Impresence is over-rated for this build. It would be a decent vanilla option for a new player that doesn't know how to pick out a rare amulet for talisman corrupting, but the price is not noob-friendly, nor is it reflective of the items power.

An extra flask is obviously nice, but losing 2 links and then having a glorified witchfire brew on your neck is flat out lazy and stupid.

this is how its done, i like this build

Hey guys,

Looking for some advice as to what would be the best item/s to upgrade next.
Checking the MoM calc, i haven't reached enough ES/Mana yet to take it yet.

Currency to play with: 65c + ~100 alch.
I've got a Jewellers touch recipe for whatever armour I switch to next.
I was thinking an Evasion/ES Atziri's splendour, but not sure if i should grab the ES or Life based version.

Current gear:






With Malevolence + Discipline: 4.5k life, 1.3k ES + 247/1405 mana
ED tooltip: 93.8k DoT DPS

Currently rolling through T7 maps, as i was a bit slow to reach mapping, but breezing through each map with the current setup - minus the occasional RIP to dmg spikes.

Edit, well i managed to snag this at a cheap price

Hey guys noob question here. Are Doedre's Malevolence better than Allelopathy Sorcerer Gloves in this build. Or reduced cast speed and mana cost's not that big of a problem?

The cast speed and mana cost both hurt. If you want more damage from gloves, get some rare ones without those downsides.

Alright, my turn to ask for help! I just got the bow, so I know I need to switch out my jewels for ones that don't have "while holding a shield".

My main goal is to 1-shot monoliths, so that the encounter starts right away. That hasn't been happening for me, and I don't know why (DPS? AoE?).

I currently have about 5ex to play with. More, if I trade my 6L Perfect Form for a 4L version.

What should I upgrade next?

I would recommend saving up 4 more exalted and buying the malevolence chaos dot Watchers Eye.
