2.5 Hardcore Occultist Crit Spark Build (Experienced Player)

Not a complete guide but a good outline for now. If you want me to add anything to the guide or have any questions leave a reply. Thread checked daily.
I'll be adding my current gear and progression once the league starts. Skill Tree Lvling (Hybrid Life/ES Focus on Life http://poedb.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAMAAQceCPQNfA3RDlwRDxEvEVARlhZAFm8Wvxo4GyUdFB1PIG4i9CSqJpUnLyoLKlMqWysKLR81uTbpOlg6rUJLQzZFfkZxRwZJUUmxS1dLrkyzUDBS7FVLVcZZ81xrXIpd8l8qX2ph4mKsY0NknWZUZp5qQ2r6bAhsC2yMbRlvhG-ecFJyD3RVdwd59n_GgwmD24RIhX2FxYcTidOMNox2jmSPRo_6kFWTJ5RvlS6boZyknaqhL6crrJiycLQMtMW2-rcxvOq-isBUwOPC7MNtytPQH9DQ18_ZW9te2-ffit--42rjhOkC6rrr9e-I7-vw1fGK8bPyHfLh96b31_k3-tL_HA== Skill Tree End Game http://poedb.tw/us/passive-skill-tree/AAAABAMBAAVCDXwN0Q5cEQ8RLxFQFX4V1xZAGkgbJR0UHU8gbiL0KgsqUypbKwosnCy_LR81uTqtOw1BlkJLQzZFfkZxRwZJUUmxS65Ms1AwUuxWY1xrXIpd8l8qX2pjQ2SdZlRmnmr6bAhsC20Zb4RvnnBScg90VXcHefZ_xoMJhEiFfYXFhq6HE4nTjDaMdo5kj0aP-pJ0kyeUb5uhnKShL6crrJius7JwtAy0xbb6tzG7_L6KwcXC7MNtxvfK09DQ0PXXz9lb217b59-K377jhOkC6rrr9ewY74jv6_DV8YryHfLh9Cj3pvfX-Tf60v8c Links 5L - Spark - Spell Echo - Pierce - Crit Strike - Crit Damage 6L - Spark - Spell Echo - Pierce - Crit Strike - Crit Damage - Faster Projectiles/Poison (Need to test) Bandits

Normal - Skill Point Cruel - Cast Speed or SKill Point Merciless - Power Charge
Most Important Stats ES - Crit Chance/Multi - Resistances - Spell Damage - Mana Regen - Int - Dex (gem requirements) Auras
Spoiler
You don't want to use clarity, you want to have enough mana regen on your gear to sustain your spark. Clarity is a waist of mana reservation most of the time. But its strong for early/mid game.
#1 Discipline (Must have) #2 Haste (Clear Speed) - Give attack speed for whirling blades - Cast speed for damage and Movement Speed for the small walks between packs. Other Options Instead of Haste Wrath Herald of Thunder + Herald of Ice Vaal Auras Vaal Discipline Vaal Haste Life Leech (Ghost Reaver) Options
Spoiler
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Doryani%27s_Invitation_(Lightning_Damage) - Decent choice.
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Atziri%27s_Promise - Strong choice will allow you to use a better belt such as. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Auxium - Great defensive belt. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Warlord%27s_Mark + Blasphemy - Not reccomended for late game, Aura guide will be added for the build soon. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Valako%27s_Sign - It's a strong choice but your best in slot ring will be a Crit ring with flat es and crafted %es. Uniques http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Skyforth -Went occultist because i'm not patient enough to wait for these. Weapons
Spoiler
Dagger (Clear Speed [Whirling Blade])
http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Divinarius that an ok choice as a unique weapon but can't fully benefit from it. Your best in slot will be a rare dagger with spell damage crit chance crit multi Attack Speed thats if you want more clear speed and want to use whirling blades. Wand If your not worried about clear speed (/using whirling blade) you can use a rare wand with spell dmg crit chance crit multi cast speed or these unique choices. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Void_Battery - Got a lot of power charges i'm sure its strong. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Apep%27s_Rage - Will have to focus on mana regeneration + (max mana) Interesting Weapon http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Widowmaker - Looking to test this doubt its strong will lack damage on clearing bosses. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Doryani%27s_Catalyst - This is an extremely strong choice if your not worried about using whirling blades. The life leech is extremely strong. Late Game Low Life will maximize your dps (http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Shavronne%27s_Wrappings) guide coming soon.

Was actually thinking doing that (grossly) using:
(+1 gem craftable through meta mod, ofc need to 6L) Would be a cool build! Last edited by Mischief67 on Nov 30, 2016, 4:55:13 AM

" I've considered using a bow in my build but enjoy the additional clear speed from whirling blades so I will not be using it. However its still a strong choice and here are some suggestions. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Voltaxic_Rift - Possibly still a good choice until you can get that bow you have in the new leagues. Quivers http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Drillneck - Best dmg pick I would recommend this in softcore. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Rearguard - Decent hardcore pick. http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Soul_Strike - Probably best for hardcore. Gives a bit of dmg and es. The 80% faster start of energy shield is very noticeable. Last edited by Firefox803 on Nov 30, 2016, 1:22:24 PM

What's the priority for your ascendancy points, what do you pick first and last?
| |
|
Go for "forbidden power" first because you will likely be mainly health and the es nodes wont do much for you. After all you are using this to generate 100% of your powercharges.
Then after that go to the "wicked ward" side of the ascendancy. With your uber ascendancy points you will put one into the nodes "energy shield and curse duration" and "energyshield chaos damage" just for more max es or go for "profane bloom" if you plan on doing a lot of cursing. |
