[2.4 ESC] Occultist Reave // 11k+ ES // .5 MIO DPS // Shaper/Guardians/Atz/UberLab

Sup.
Long time no guide.

Started this build with Cyclone and after trying some melee skills, I ended up with Reave.
Seems like the best choice in terms of clearspeed, mana usage, survivability and damage.

Gear

To negate the downside of Abyssus, we use curse with Warlords Mark and 11k ES (can be more).
Reave doesnt force us to jump directly in the enemies face (at least not with AOE gem).


Ascendancy

Spoiler
Occultist: Profane Bloom, Forbidden Power, Wicked Ward, Vile Bastion

Clearspeed is even higher as soon as u picked up the Profane Bloom node.
I have 60% Critchance in town, so i can rather smoothly sustain/build up my power charges
with Forbidden Power. No need for Assasins Mark or Skyforths or whatever.

The other 2 ascendancies are defensive options. Quick Es regen and Stun immunity at full life are useful, hah?

In that order. Can exchange the last 2, depending on how soon u go CI.
Uber Lab points are pretty useful on that char, so don't skip it if u can.


Flasks
Spoiler



ToH and Atziri for Damage/Leech, Quicksilver for Anti_Freeze and the occasional running in No-Regen maps (other than that: whirling blades); Basalt and Quartz for more defensive power and to further negate Abyssus' downside.



Jewels
Spoiler




Damage, ES, Leech (for curse immune maps and bossfights), one Energy from Within for ES



Gem-Links
Spoiler

Main Attack: Reave, MeleePhys, MeleeDmgonFullL, Increased Area, Faster Attacks, Multistrike
Movement: Whirling Blades, Fortify, Faster Attacks, Reduced Mana
Cursing/Aura: Blasphemy, Warlords Mark, Discipline, Enlighten
Def: CwDt, Immortal Call, Increased D, [Ice Nova / or whatever freeze/def spell]
Off: Vaal Haste, Increased Duration, Vaal Lightning Strike (for the extra shocks!)
Aura/Utility: Golem, Hatred, Enlighten

Note: No need for Enlighten 4. Mine are 3 and that's enough. Maybe even one lvl 2 could suffice.


Bandits:
Spoiler

Kill, Phys/Attack Speed, Power Charge


Passive Tree for lvl 92:

Note on this:
It's a pretty offensive tree, that's why im only at 11,3k ES.
Can be more. Can also be more investment into dmg if u prefer.

Can also be played as Shadow/Ranger/Duelist/Scion with some modifications.
I chose OCC there, but it's not mandatory.



Read stuff:

- Defensive Curses are a must, we run Abyssus (-> Warlords Mark)

- Phys Reflect maps require to link a Phys to Lightning-Gem

- Blood Magic -> Curses off

- Don't play with CI unless u have AT LEAST 6k ES

- Can be played as a 5 link-budget Version; Splendour Chest pretty helpful for Chroming!

- Atziri, UberLab, Guardians are a piece of cake;
UberAtziri requires some additional stun immunity
-> swap in Valyrium/Chayula for Vaals! And 2nd Bleeding Flask for Trio!

I attempted Shaper and died in the 3rd phase due to my stupidity and newbyness.
So i guess it's also shaper viable!

- Warlord's Mark for Endu Charges

- Try to aim for Strength on Gear!

- Playstyle: Whirl. Reave. Loot.

- HC-viable if u can control your emotions, unlike me.

- Can use Herald of Ash in Curse immune maps!

- Room for improvement: Jewels, flasks, dagger, gg es chest (no way to chrome)
LvL 100 (never.)

After some people pm'd me..
I guess there are no major changes for 2.5.
It still should work the same way.


btw.
Why does it appear under "Cyclone" in the witch build list?
Could s1 change it to the proper title? Thanks!
