[2.5] Essence Drain Build Options (HC Uber Atziri/Shaper Viable)

Newer player here a bit overwhelmed by all the different build options. My shadow is 65 and has a reset available to him. Was wondering what build I should go for before I invest any resources. I have a 5 link Carcass Jack (3g 2b) so far.

what is the best item setup right now?

Hey, I would like to thank the creator for this build. I followed it for the most part with couple changes. I played in the SSF-Legacy leave to level 89 very easily. Only major difference was I included Mind over matter in a life based version.

4500 HP, 1800 ES, 800 unreserved mana (I know this is crazy low, but SSF has its downsides)



Got as far as 85 atlas completion before retire. Having no troubles with damage, could use more tankyness. Left SSF to begin transition to low life variant slowly over the rest of the league.

Thanks again :)

When i equip my decay weapon i get a lower tooltip for my DoT. Im using a heartbreaker.
Is the decay not integrated in the DoT tooltip ?
