Hey so I have a couple questions regarding the ED Cont build. My gear currently is

สปอยล์

I know I lack a watcher's eye, but it's 10ex for malevolence NACDOT ones right now. Any other gear I should upgrade first?

What is the optimal mana to get MoM and should I be aiming for that?

I am dying kinda easy in high tier maps so I just run glacier which is working but should I get a perfect form chest for uber elder? Also, would investing in a diadem and Bane be beneficial to single target bossing?

I got lucky on the bow and only spent 5ex, I have about 20ex to spend in all. I am new to this game so anything that seems like a no-brainer might not be visible to me.

Thanks everyone, really appreciate all the help.

first of all, change your boots. with legion dropping so many MS/Dodge hybrid boots, there shudnt be any reason to go atziri's step

secondly, if you're going MoM you gonna need essence worm, not worth imo unless u combine with EB

last but not least, carcass jack is a trap, yes perfect form will help you more

Thanks for the help.

You can also go in my character tab the characters name I'm talking about is confusedtrickster.
Got a 20ex budget.

Appreciate any help I can get be it items or even passives.

Thanks

Multimod the metabow, or multimod a wand and do the Atrizi Reflection build. You can click on my profile for an example of the bow variant. A few of the regular posters in the past couple pages are doing the wand variant, and you can use their profiles as a template.

Got myself a few new toys to play with this past weekend, even though I said I wouldn't be changing my gear again. Am going on vaca for a couple weeks, will be excited to see everyone's gear when I get back ^^

I have serious gear envy.

Anybody mind helping me (a noob) out with my current gear setup. I'm currently doing t7/8 maps, my map clear is fine, but I take a long time to sometimes kill bosses. I rarely die unless i do/stand in something stupid.

I need some help with my gear, i dont know how to not die on 12/13 tier maps, dont know where to go with passive points etc..

HI felllow ED/Contagion Tricksters,

this league i joined you again as SeamusZelaznyHarper :)
my question besides general advice on gear is:
are voidewalkers still a viable option for this build?

with kind regards

PS: Bow/Amulet&Flasks are still work in progress

Pierce is most useful when you HAVEN'T killed recently (ie those invulnerable packs) but I suppose the Voidwalkers would not be strictly bad. The problem is they do not provide life, and do not provide much ES either. Also, if you want to min/max your gear you will probably want as much Res on the boots as you can get.

You can put on Flesh and Stone (use sand form). I think you can find a way to reserve that mana, even if it means equipping a witchfire brew for despair curse, and then taking that off the blasphemy link.

If you also put your portal gem on your weapon swap, now you will have two free gem sockets. You can put in CWDT + Immortal Call.

If you are doing this, you might as well throw enfeeble onto the CWDT setup if you're able to use Discipline or Zealotry instead. I don't think you should really need enfeeble as an aura, cuz you should be able to take a hit to proc it, and the debuff will last for almost 10 seconds afterwards. You would get the extra gem off of your 5-link Contagion probably. (in terms of gem levels for this CWDT setup, you can look at my character if you don't know)

Replacing Silver flask with Basalt will also help.

You can get 9 more max life by Bless Orbing your leather belt.

Your skill tree is wasting 2 points (+10 int, +10 dex) on the far side of your Spreading Rot jewel. I have alot more life nodes than you do. You are using some mediocre Energy Shield nodes, but I feel like you don't really have that much ES on your gear. Maybe those would make more sense in conjunction with the Discipline aura though, so that could be fine.
