[2.5] Tri Curse CI Blade Flurry Crit Occultist

Hey ladies and gentlemen,

Iam bored at work so I tried to find a new Blade Flurry build that looks enjoyable. Instead of going for Raider or Assassin I found the Occultist to be worth a try.

Tree Level 86

Build idea

The Idea would be to use Daggers with Blade Flurry and scale phys and chaos damage. With three Curses we get 12% EXTRA CHAOS damage for 4 seconds on every kill. Additionally 20% of the enemies will explode for 54% of their life.

With Warlords Mark, Poachers Mark and Assassins Mark we will get a lot of charges and buff our damage.

Warlords mark: We use Ghost Reaver and CI so we leech a lot of ES on every hit. Additionally we leech mana so the 96,6% reservation would still allow us to use our skills. With Endurance charges and Immortal Call we will have another layer of defense.

Poachers mark: Enemies are less evasive so we can care less about hit chance. We will get frenzy charges (adding damage), more flask charges (damage & defense) and get mana.

Ass mark: More damage as well as Power charges.

Do you think this would work? Do I miss something?

Any of you CI experienced players able to tell me if this might work or not? :D

Mucking around with the same idea atm. Some ideas:
* You want Vaal Pact
* You need more mana reservation nodes to run triple auras and discipline (even in a heretic's veil setup)
* Drop Assassins Mark for Vulnerbility, you already have Power Charge Generation
* Hard to get Str and Dex, Ancestral needs too much str, aim for 111 str







Shame haven't found the time to test it yet. Should perform ok on paper.

With Skyforth I probably would prefer Trickster Dual Curse / Single Curse + Hatred

Little Update:

Lv 75 now and using two curses (warlords mark and poachers mark) as well as an adjusted tree. I have ~7.700ES with medium gear (chest has just 490 ES). Crit is 91% with 7 Power Charges.

The build works great, for bosses as well as for farming (e.g. dried lake or general mapping). Since I started CI I didnt die (Lv 65) and I did merc lab in first try.

I will probably update the thread later today.

I wi was just looking into doing this. I'll share my tree later but I was thinking of going hybrid and using Cospris Will to apply poison. I'll add items later, but would love a discussion.

Its and interesting idea, exactly what i have done with my witch 3 weeks ago but still trying to optimize.
i'm going shavronns and using heretics with bloodmagic, like this i got 2 curses on life and the 3rd curse with cwdt.
on l 95 i got a total of 11k es and my damage is quiet nice, havent tried shaper yet though
useing 3 curses: poachers and warlords in helmet and enfeebel on cwdt
got 7 power 3 endurence and 3 frenzy charges
my gear is a bit op as im playing poe since a liong time
