3.26 - EssenceDrain - Contagion - Leaguestart - Occultist
![]() Hello Exiles! Here is a my new leaugestarter Essence Drain Contagion - Occulist Build. Nobody plays stuff like that anymore but I like the clearing of entire Screens. Not yet of course, its still in Progress and all items are really leaguestart friendly. So lets beginn! For the readers (Idea of the build/items):
Spoiler
Pros: + Fun + satisfaction when you clear the whole screen + Tanky until you can equipt 3 auras + cheap at start + can run all Mapmods Cons: - Boss damage is quite low. You have to invest much to get decent damage - squishy at the start The idea of the build: The idea of the build: You like when you can clear the whole screen and Chaining skills? You like tankyness because of +60chaos resistance from Ascendancy? Than this build is for you! I really like the idea of the ascendancy of the occulist. Sadly, there are not many leagustart builds out there, so I tried myself for doing one. The idea is, scaling AOE of Contagion, scaling dps of essence drain. Thats it. The rest will do the damage haha. Items:
Spoiler
Be aware: These are all my leaguestart items with 150c spend on gear (basicly the amulet was 135c) The helmet: We are trying to scale evasion and Energyshield base items for later conversion (into shavronne). The Staff: Cheap 1 to 5c. item at leaguestart. Easy: You make more chaos damage. The Rings: Life, resistance, some strengh when you need some Belt Life, resistance belt. The Amulet: Of course, on Leugestart you dont have that. But just change that with a normal strengt/dex. based amulet with life and resistances on it. When you have one with damage over time mulitplier is it even better! The Chest: Also a 1 - 5 (for 6 sockets) unique for the build. It gives you Armour, evasion and a lot of chaos damage and some life. The gloves: Like the helmet: Evasion/energyshield base item with life and resistances. The boots So we play at the start with following link setup for essence drain: Essencedrain - Void manipulation - controlled distrunction - efficancy. But when you have some money, buy these boots and the new setup (it gives you over double the damage): Essence drain of Desperation - trap and mine damage - void manipulation - controlled construction For the lazy ones (pob):
