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

Hello, First of all thanks so much for posting the build. Have really been enjoying it so far. I do however feel that I might be doing something wrong? I just began runnning maps and i feel that i die a lot on low tier maps, a lot of the time I get one or two shot. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

If you have some chaos, start getting the gloves, boots, shield in the guide. They are all really cheap. Your CWDT and Immortal call are little high. I would try and keep those at lvl 3 or 4.


I'm close in level to you, if you wanna take a look at my character.

Karui Ward does nothing for this build, get an amulet with +life, +mana, resists.
Are your resists maxed? Make sure they are maxed.
Need more life on many of your items. Helm, gloves, rings all could get 60+ life on each cheap, get with +mana and resists too.
You can get a better 5L chest, I quickly found one with 81 life, 35 mana and 25 fire res for 1c. If possible try to get something with 60+ life and 50+ total resists if possible.
Get jewels for your jewel slots on tree. Look for +Life, +mana, +damage if killed recently.
Your flasks need a ton of work. Take 2 white Divine Life Flasks, use 4 glassblower's baubles on each to get them to 20%, then a Transmute to make it magic. Then spam alternations until you get the following:
- Prefix: Seething (this makes it an INSTANT recovery of 979 life)
- Suffix: Staunching on one (bleed removal), Heat on another (freeze removal)
Get Witchfire Brew flask, that will help your dps.
You will need Allelopathy gloves, get those. You may need to replace your Atziri's step boots in order to keep your resists maxed.

Look now for upgrades in the 1-5c range. As you build your currency wealth, then start looking for 10-20c upgrades. You want resists maxed, ideally over max to deal with Elemental Weakness maps. It also gives you more flexibility in upgrades down the line.

About to hit level 89 atm, got about 4,5k hp, 1k es and 2.4k mana (1.5k unreserved for mom). Got 46k ed dps in hideout, do you think the char can handle red maps as it is? Are guardians/shaper/elder within reach?

Also what items do you think need immediate improvement?

Any comment on the gear so far?

Wither should have faster casting instead of efficacy, you want to hit max stacks ASAP.
Replace Pierce with Efficacy in your chest, projectile damage does nothing for your ED dot.
Not sure whats going on in your gloves, I guess you are trying to do both contagion and blight in one item? Blight is a big Boss DPS skill, you want Controlled Destruction - Efficacy - Swift Affliction - Void manipulation. You can look at my setup for guidance.
Replace your belt jewel with a +life, +damage if killed recently one.
Your life and mana flasks need to be Seething, and one needs "of Heat" to remove freeze.
Get a Witchfire Brew flask ASAP, it is HUGE dps. Witchfire + proper Blight setup just MELTS those annoying abyss rares.
Don't use purity of Elements, get more resists on gear if needed.
Do you need those 30 Str and 30 Dex nodes in your tree? Get another Jewel node instead, and a second Spreading Rot jewel.
Level up additional copies of key gems in your alt weapons. Especially ED, cause when you get to 20/20 you will want to corrupt them to try to get a 21/20 one. Also start now an Empower gem.
Do you have 2 unassigned ascendancy points? get patient reaper ASAP.
To Millenium:

Seems pretty solid, has all the bases covered. Interesting how you went hard into Templar area (personally, I find the Skill Effect Duration nodes too juicy to pass up).
Get your Witchfire to 20%, that will be nice. And keep looking for upgrades on all your jewelry and jewels for incremental improvements. Next is really all about grinding for 20/20 gems and 6L chest.
Ohh, and getting uber Helm enchant.

What's your Blight tooptip dot damage? (not the DPS rating)

I'm struggling to get much meaningful dps on bosses in this build, is this normal for ED and i won't expect to kill a strong Elder or is there a fault in my character?
