[2.1] [HCT] Davirok's Conta+ED+Ethereal Knives(chaos+poison) SuperTanky Flask Spammer Shadow

We want to be fast for mapping, we want to be really tanky, and we want to be flashy, and we are gonna focus on chaos/poison damage.

So why are we choosing EK? As we move down in the passive tree the only way to power up our Essence Drain is via projectile damage, therefore EK is going to boost up like crazy.

Our main curse is Vulnerability for DoT, which increases Physical Damage aswell.

We are goint to 4L-> EK+Added Fire Damage+Spell Echo+Mana leech so The Consuming Dark is going convert 75% of that Fire to Chaos, and then proc Chaos with Poison, also we don't want to run out fo mana since we are heavy on spamming skills and Mana leech works insanely well.

Not gonna lie, this is the main reason why we are getting EK for this build:


EK helps a lot to clear mobs fast with ED+Conta when they are heavy in def or chaos resist.

Mobility:
-3L We got insane Attack speed, therefore: Whirling+Fortify+Faster Attacks.

Main Damage:
-5L/6L ED+Controlled Dest+Rapid Decay+Void Manipulation+Iron Will+_____
-4L Contagion+Increased AoE+Faster Casting+Void Manip/Controlled Dest.
Survival:
4L Reds - CWDT20+IC+Molten Shell+Increased Duration
Auras:
If overcapped resistances: Grace (IR benefit) + Blasphemy-Vulnerability
If undercapped: Grace + Purity of Elements
Misc
Fire Golem (+20% damage is huge for ED)+Minion Life/Chaos Golem if you wanna be safer.

You just wanna follow the order as you level up: Shadow -> Ranger -> Duelist -> Marauder -> HP Scion nodes, nothing special about this.

Consider using Chaos damage nodes (Atrophy) for leveling if you want, use respec points, that's why they exist :P

-Maximum Life
-Great Shield heavy on EV or Armour
-Great Spell damage dagger, crit doesn't matter.
-Evasion>Armour
-Resistances (Focus on Chaos resistance aswell.)
-Casting Speed, this one is so important. Rings, Talisman, everything you can. Cast speed jewells are really good for this build.
-Spell Damage/Damage on Time
-Some max mana.

Bandits: Oak/passive/passive.


Flasks (important):
Elemental resistances/Chaos resistance/Granite/HP (make sure to have Anti-Curses/anti-bleed/anti-freeze/anti-shock/+%armor/evasion and high charge recovery, we are not critting)

When rich: The Consuming Dark + Lightning Coil

Here's my current gear @lv80:
