Witch - [LHC] 2.6 Ramona's CI Essence Drain - Forum

Thanks for the help Ramona & Xirce, I really appreciate it! I changed my tree towards what Xirce posted. It is way saver now with triple curses so thanks, mana reserved is comfortable as well(over 11k ES). Sadly the mana regeneration is too low now. ED costs 91 and Contagion 45 with 264 (with enlighten 2 for the curses) unreserved is not enough. Looking for rings now with cast speed, high es and mana regen but that will take some time. I am really enoying the build!	Posted by Maaarc#0711 on Mar 12, 2017, 6:56:12 PM Quote this Post

I am really enoying the build! Hi Maaarc, Glad to hear it! I know the mana is a bit of a struggle, I would recommend taking the Charisma nodes and buying a Heretics if you didn't already. The combination of these two makes the mana pool very comfortable, but you will still need a mana flask.	Posted by Ramona#5278 on Mar 12, 2017, 7:01:22 PM Quote this Post

The nerfs impact on the other gems is honestly insignificant in the long run. I would say the benefits of using one is still well worth the slot.

Plus it's damage is great, it just unfortunately isn't a 100% chance. :)	Posted by Ramona#5278 on Mar 12, 2017, 9:07:22 PM Quote this Post
Been using this build to farm uber lab for the past few days and netted some lucky enchants that funded my upgrades. Transitioned to Lowlife and solved the mana issue I was having once and for all, now running Blood Magic linked with Discipline and Clarity, then Blasphemy linked with Temp chains and Enfeeble on mana reserve. Mana Regen on gear helped a lot too. In the current state, I'd say ED Occultist is still decent for boss killing, a bit sloppy for map clearing though after the AOE changes. Current setup: Got lucky with the 21/20 ED vaaling.	Posted by trevorllw#3901 on Mar 13, 2017, 12:17:44 AM Quote this Post

I think that he said that because of the poison effect, but with that this build will struggle against poison immune bosses like chimera and hydra. What do you think about? :) Hi Giammafix, I have a section under 'Everything else' tab and FAQ for my opinion on The Consuming Dark versus Delirium. To summarize poisom scales higher but you need 3-4 casts of ED to apply poison for it to be the same or more damage than Delirium. Also I do not take nodes in my tree to optimize for Poison scaling, so I would keep in mind that you would need to change points if you used it. oh yes sorry, I didn't notice that section! some other questions :) - do you think that picking an Elreon ring would solve some of the mana issues? - what about a level 3 enlighten instead of enhance linked to the curses? - whirling blades instead of shield charge? - Energy from within jewel put near melding?

Hi Maaarc, you are welcome. :) True, mana is really an issue in this build. I would invest into Dreamer for a bigger Mana pool. You could remove the Dex Node under Fangs of the Viper. Then use a low lvl Clarity (lvl 4 for example). Youll need to experiment a bit with the lvl of Clarity to get the best results.	Posted by Xirce#0243 on Mar 13, 2017, 7:38:57 AM Quote this Post
