Sisko1980 เขียน:

You can somewhat influence the time, when regeneration starts with some mods, that start reg faster?

"

Sisko1980 เขียน:

The rate at which it regenerates is influenced by the maximum amount of ES you have? And nodes that say: increased energy shield recharge rate?

"

Sisko1980 เขียน:

Zealot's Oath converts Life Reg to Energy Shield Reg, does that mean there is a constant ES-Reg just like Life-Reg or does that contribute to the recharge rate, that only recharges when you don't get hit? And is that noticable in this build, is Life-Reg a worthwile mod?

"

Sisko1980 เขียน:

The Ghost Dance recovery of ES is instant I guess?

"

Sisko1980 เขียน:

How does the leech work? You constantly get ES back from the damage you deal? Is that noticable?

"

Sisko1980 เขียน:

I would appreciate some help with this, so that I better understand how that works and that I can plan which mods to take on items or on the passive tree.

So why not max dodge? Tree is not far from those notables and with elusive, don't you get like near 75% dodge?

What's the difference between Trickster and Ocultist variants?

Decided to run Vortex + coldsnap occultist until i saw this guide. didn't realize trickster had DoT and energy shield ascendencies as well. It's probably been asked somewhere but how does the 2 classes compare?

Was going to say "there's a section in the guide about this"

I forgot that I removed that after Occultist got nerfed in 3.7...

But basically, Trickster has better defenses in the form of natural Evasion Scaling:

Ghost Dance Recovery to ES based on your Evasion, some Spell Dodge, and massive bonuses to Evasion and Energy Shield from your Helmet and Chest.

Really nice QoL comes from Patient Reaper for ES and Mana Recovery on kill (and recovery rate). This is especially good for mapping.

The gear is a bit cheaper usually (EV/ES chests aren't going to be as expensive as pure ES pieces).

That said Occultist gets easy access to Freeze Immunity in the ascendancy and Profane Bloom explosions, which is nice for mapping. Occultist can also go Low life more effectively with Shavs if you want to go that route.

TL:DR

I still think Trickster is the more well rounded of the two and a better bosser because of the extra layers of defense that we get. Must have freeze immune flask or "dream fragment" boots.

Occultist can get more damage cheaper via Shavs and running auras on life, but lacks a lot of the defenses and QoL that make trickster really feel good.
Occ has profane bloom boom booms. (Both classes can use Obliteration wands for this effect as well)
