Does the cane of unravelling have a place in the 3.1 version of this build?


I was wondering that myself as well.

What about the Impresence (Chaos) amulet? https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Impresence_(Chaos)


PoE wiki showing me a broken link and I'm on limited time atm due to the "race"!
Anything that grants spell dmg and/or DoT or Chaos DMG is a good choice, keep in mind that getting a 80%+ spell dmg rare dagger is not very expensive so if it's better than that go for it.

Should I use Essence of Delirium Dagger + Breath of the Council once I can get currency or should I stick with Dagger/Breath of the Council + Rathpith Globe (shield).
That said, which one is really better: Breath of the Council or EoD dagger?


I would say BotC as it helps you maintain efficiency of the "rotation" the build is doing vs bosses.

Hi.

Need some basic noob / first time play tips.
I have experience with diablo II + I have played this game to act II one time for a few years ago so got the basic.

I am now a level 42 trickster. Have gotten to Occultist's domination in the passive tree and picked up Walk the Aether. I have gotten to act 4 to the Crystal Veins.

Things are going okay and I dont need any big help with progress so far, but I tend to spend to much time om items / sockets and what gems to use, because its hard to deside what you should use.

I have gotten most of the gems, but at I guess I dont need to use so many at this point of the game.
So to save time on what to look for, what should I consentrate to get on my way to level 50 and 60?
Any special socket / links or items with resistance or other things?

Basic items / gems I got:

3 socket wand with 11 % increased spell damage:
ESSENCE DRAINE
Void Manipulation
Controlled Destruction

2 socket shield with 11 % increased spell damage + critical strike for spells + maximum energy shield + 3 % to all resistance
CONTAGION
Arcane Surge (level 3, also got level 9 on hold)

3 socket gloves with alot of armour, +16 dexterity and fire and cold resistance
WITHER
Spell Totem support
Increased Duration

And I got Clarity in my boots. And other basic items for helm, belt, rings and amulet.

I use most ED and Contagion on clearing and sometime wither (totem). Do I need a sword or anything for Shield Charge?
When should I be looking for that? And what weapon to wear? What support gems should I try to add to ED and Contagion? Many small questions but need only some tips and guidance.

Hey,

The support gems in the guide are listed in order of efficiency, you basically want to look out for a 4L for your ED setup other than that you use what you can get your hands on depending on how many sockets you have available to you during the lvling process.

Make sure you keep a keen eye on your resistances as well as life numbers as you progress after act 4/5 as not being capped on res will start be very punishing.

Shield Charge can only be used whilst you have a shield equipped and not wielding a wand (must have be without a weapon or the weapon has to be a melee one such as a spell dmg rolled dagger is prefered, however, if you have a good spell dmg wand you can use that and simply use Flame Dash instead as your movement spell).

As a trickster, I personally don't think so no. As an occultist, yes, without a doubt.

Hey nice guide! I had an ED occultist last season (no my main character though), and I loved it so I'm giving trickster a try this season and I'm loving it (lvl 55 actually).

In PoB the Contagion setup includes Increased Duration instead of Arcane Surge. Is there a reason?

Thanks for the guide!
Is there any way this could be converted into a chaos wander, i havent been playing very long and im just wondering. If you could give some points on how, if it is possible, that would be awesome. Thanks!

Both setups works, it's about a matter of personal taste, I prefer the Arcane Surge setup.

Well...
You'd have to start with removing all the damage over time sources to change for nodes that actually benefits wanders. Personally, I've never created a Wander build so I will have to say that I don't feel confident enough to give you a proper tree or suggestions for how to make it work without fully researching beforehand which I sadly don't have time to do atm. :/

I see, thanks for answering :). What about using the Scpeter and a Dagger at the same time?
Check my YouTube Channel if you want :)

I can't understand one thing, what to do with this build now, i have around 50k dps and i don't how to get more. There's 0 potential in this build, just in one moment you'll stop at 60k dps and it's over. Auras can't give you damage, weapons can't give you damage, just one day you'll take all nods with damage, you'll take botc, globe/delirium dagger and it's over. T10+ map clearing speed is insane slow, yellow enemies die for 20+ seconds, 0 ideas how to kill atziri or shaper. What i'm doing wrong?
Here's a link to my cane of unravelling for you to review. Still farming mats to get some decent sockets on it. It's... interesting.

The impresence looks really strong. Its like a permanent witchfire brew. With the difference, that the blasphemy-despair has quality and the curse effectiveness of blasphemy quality. So we go Doubleblasphemy and we have one more flaskslot.
Hey Ghazzy,

I was wondering how important the skill duration & Potency of will nodes are?

Thanks!
