just finished uber lab and dont really know which points to put in for final ascendancy. one hand specters and guardian need life. another you need chaos res and you are using decay gem too.
any thoughts insobyr? cant find anything notable in pob

I took two minor points. Beacon of Corruption basically gives nothing but some chaos resist, I don't really think it worth taking... btw the increased chaos damage doesn't scale Decay cuz it's inflicted by clones. And one more thing I don't like about that node is, the caustic cloud always confuses me, they keep making me subconsciously dodging them :S

bahaha fair enough about the dodge. idk why they never made caustic cloud purple or some other shit to differentiate you taking damage

Hey, I've played Occultist MA/BA in the previous Leagues, with the gutting of Poison and ES I decided to pick up your build this time around. I had a blast playing it to 91 and I'm still playing towards the 92. It's great for all content and gave me the opportunity for my first Shaper kill, so it's a great build! Next league I'm going to take it to the extreme with Magic Find gear, I'm really looking forward to that. I thought I'd share the items I acquired, ignore the MA/BA links as they are still on single-target from a boss kill, usually I have 20/20 GMP instead of Faster Attacks / Pierce. Couldn't get 4 Off-colors in my Lioneye's unfortunately. I think my Delirium helmet might be something you want to pick up in your guide, it's one of the few ways we can boost our DPS from gear alone.

Thanks again for this rock-solid build. I had no dissatisfactions with it whatsoever.

Hello there!
Does the bisco's amulet work when your minions kill monster??
Why I found some said the IIR & IIQ of character don't apply on the summon minion..
I bought one bisco but I don't really feel the monster drop more when I equip it..

So I'm coming back to this character after failing with it as my first ever build. So is the build still the same? I can't seem to find good enough gear to be able to take EB/MOM/ZO. Is this a problem?

And finally are there uniques that would work well? I find uniques easier to just buy than hunting hours for the perfect rare

Thanks!

wanted to ask, why not using hatred? lioneye has high phys dmg, and hatred can do good damage with that no?

so ive started mapping with this char almost level 80 and i cant do t10 without dying at least once. idk how to survive without armor, eva, or high ES pool

This build only has enough mana for 2 damage auras, and Hatred gives less damage than Wrath or Anger.
36% of 207 phys (maximum rolled Lioneye's) does not compare to 110 fire damage from Anger.

I would get 1-2 more bubbling/staunching life flasks. Also use Bone Offering and get a Rumi's concoction. Finally, your links are all messed up.. get some 5-links and properly support your minions with GMP, elemental damage with attacks, minion damage, and added lightning/faster attacks.

This is my character for Harbinger league, using some of insobyr's ideas. I just made a budget build, <1ex (aside from Bisco's)

I'm trying the build without EB/MoM, and the survivability is fine. 6k life and 2k ES at level 90, is enough to take on t15 maps. Can swap in a Rearguard for extremely tough maps.

As a side note, The Restless Ward is amazing for this build. It's cheap. It has good life + ES, some eva, and makes your endurance charges last for 20 seconds, which makes it extremely easy to keep up charges with Enduring Cry. Basically you can pretend this chest gives you near-permanent 12% phys damage reduction with some life regen. The Flow Untethered is really cheap and easy to corrupt for +1 endurance charge, too.

That said.. it is very easy now to upgrade to a 6L ES body armour, use an Essence of Greed on it, craft %ES, and use that instead.

Thanks for replying!

So comparing your old build and your new, I have a couple of questions

1) How do you hit the dexterity requirements? You barely have any additional Dex
2) How do you manage auras/skills now that ES doesn't shield Mana?
3) Why don't you all in on life/ES instead of spreading out over both?

Sorry if some of these questions are a little dumb, still learning my way around the game :)

1) You'll need to get Dex on your equipment. If you're having trouble still, get a Careful Planning jewel (it's dirt cheap) and use it in the jewel socket right below the Mind over Matter keystone.

2) Aura reservation nodes/Enlighten gem to get a comfortable pool of mana to cast from. (You don't really need Enlighten gem unless you have 6-links) Mana regen from Quick Recovery & Shaper notables are enough to sustain mana. In maps with the "Smothering" affix you'll need to use a mana potion. Luckily the build also picks Arcane Chemistry, so that a Chemist's Eternal mana flask will have up to 8 uses.

3) I'm working on an all-life build in Harbinger right now. This kind of build will have lower eHP than the life + ES combo, unless you're using Kaom's Heart as your chest. But if you wear Kaom's, then you'll need a glove crafted with Essence of Hysteria in order to make up for the loss of a 6link. Here's the pastebin info for the all-life variant, it's very similar to a Baron SRS build, gets about 9k life:

"Smothering" only reduces recovery rate of life and ES now, "of Stasis" (no life/mana/es regeneration) is the only map mod we need to carry a mana flask.

For no regen map, I normally turn off one of my aura and bring a mana flask then it wouldn't hurt any smoothness :)
