How would this do with a Skin of the Loyal instead of Vaal Regalia?

you can look at my essence drain occultist in my character tab, I'm using a skin of the loyal.
my actual dps is around 41k damage overtime and my energy shield is a bit more than 14k (it can raise up to 15k with better gear, discipline level 21 etc.)
but keep in mind that I play in softcore, of course I died a very few times thanks to the build because it feels tanky anyway and with pretty high dps, there are some softcore builds which stand at over 55k dps but their ES is like 9-10k but I don't like that playstyle, too risky anyway against hard bosses.

oh yes, I forgot telling that I'm using empower instead of slower projectiles (or pierce vs bosses). if you're not using empower, there is no point using the skin of the loyal, especially in hardcore

Using empower lvl 4 vs slower proj is also only a very slight dmg upgrade due to decay scaling if you dont have +2 all gem skin, i wouldnt really even use it in softcore, id rather use a regalia, spec more dmg nodes

Any thoughts on the new DoT manifesto with this build going into 3.0?
