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

Hey everyone,
I'm playing this build in HC and so far it's been going well and I'm into t6 maps. Had no problems defence wise yet but my damage is starting to feel a little low. Obviously this will improve when I can get a 6-link for ed. But what can I do to improve my bane damage?
And a general question: what (affordable) annointments can you recommend for offense or defense?

Thy
Just found Vaal Righteous Fire, and I'm a bit confused - do I just use it for single target damage boosts or is it supposed to be triggered with Phase Run?
You trigger it yourself whenever you need a damage boost, like an afterburner.
Current Build: Level 100 Elementalist EA Totem

Hi everybody ! I'm thinking of starting the next league with this build. I've played a Bane build before and I really enjoyed it but I'm not a very experienced player. What do you guys think ?

I played it in 3.8 as SSF (and last week in trade), its a really good starter build!!

ED+contagion has not been changed much after the patch note, just some crafting changes. But the Development Manifesto we got this:
"A regular map boss now has (...) 25% Chaos resistance (up from 15%). A very strong boss like the Shaper now has (...) 30% Chaos resistance (up from 25%)."

So I dont think it changes to much, bosses are harder I guess. The experts here can probably give a better reply.

Yes. That's what I'm worried about now. I feel like this league the main focus will be more on killing bosses rather than fast clearing maps..but I guess it might work

I have read some more, everyone got increased resistance or armour. So I guess its like this for everyone, either you play elemental, chaos or pysical build.
