Hey Ramona, I saw a video made by Liftingnerdbro, in which he stated that The Consuming dark does more damage than a Delirium dagger being more effective in high tier maps.
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 Giammafix,

For my setup with Heretic's Veil and Charisma (plus the other aura 4% reserve nodes), your mana pool is no longer an issue.
This is why I run Enhance over Enlighten, it allows us to scale auras much further with Enhance.
I wouldn't personally use Whirling Blades as Sai daggers are naturally slow, shield charge is simply a better option in my opinion.
Finally, I personally dislike the use of EFW in the Melding wheel of the tree.
That being said, I may consider it worth it down the line.
But to be honest I don't use Melding in the final version of the skill tree, I would rather allocate the points elsewhere.

Hi there!

I'm looking to improve my character a little bit further. I'm waiting for voidwalkers to drop in price a little bit more before I purchase them.

Could you take a look at my tree and items and tell me what I should improve? I'm looking for more ES. Only have 9.4k ES right now after my switch from a Regalia to SoTL. I'm starved for strength and I'm sure swapping out of my crappy corrupted Eye of Chayula to a non-corrupted one would help a lot.


Here's my items and skill tree!

Hi superjack010,

I can summarize some what, unfortunately I can't give a great review as I'm not at my Computer.
ES is going to be some what harder to increase, with a Skin of the Loyal your other pieces become very important.
Buy a Crystal Belt (look/craft for strength here), Rings with Int+% ES+Str, shield is also pretty low ES 350 is what's I would consider a starter piece.
Really any other ES upgrades you can get are very beneficial to Skin of the Loyal scaling.
I'll take a look at the skill tree later today, I would reference the skill tree at the start of my guide for my current final tree.
I'll include the version I plan to use before Voidwalker boots, I have it created but haven't posted it yet.
If nothing else, you can definitely use my character RamonaGecko as a reference for gear, though her tree and gems aren't 100% up to date.

Hi superjack010,

ive made some changes to your Tree:
http://poeplanner.com/AAYAAPETAAB234rpAkuuGyXZW20ZEVA1uacrl_RSUz1fIvRsC5Mnf8YRlgcelS7w1UlRj_pcQIfLp5t1ns8V7BgsvxXXhq5WY05tpcScMu-I-TfXz0mxvoqhL8rTtAzqug18V8ko-oLH-eg3g6brLKaQ1riTHNzr7qcIj0aboRhqeC985VgH99dSr7tN3V9n_IRIXGvDbR0U-tL3wQ5IXfIrChEv62O1SAMeH0G3MOhaJoh2gsgMtNEWvw-rJIvDOong5liTH0kTGYr7CfbaGo-XlY8aJ6lwu-L32RMvbwFvN2Y0CnzwkQdCenpwfqFp2Lv8FX4AAAAAAA==

I took Hexmaster to improve your Blasphemy Area and to improve the Curses.
Influence pushes Discipline and its even better than putting 2 points into 6% ES increase nodes.

Coordination improves Shield Charge movement, cast time and 10 int is a bonus.
No 100% pierce here, for the rare moments you think you need it, drop Temporal Chains for Projectile Weakness to get 100% again.

Why not Void Barrier?
You need 4 points and it gives you 20% ES increase (and hardly needed 2% evade, 8% ele resist). For 4 points you can get 24% ES by investing in 6% ES nodes.

The changes should bring you easily above 10k ES, improve your curses and damage should be quite similar.

Playing a modified version of this build. Been loving it so far, almost hitting 93 in Legacy Hardcore. I am sitting at 12.5k es currenty. Going to buy voidwalkers soon. If you're interested in my skill tree, my character page is open. Thinking about doing guardians. How does this build fair up against each guardian?

My current gear :

Hi all and hi Ramona,
i have an unusual question because i think i'm missing some really important Informations
or mechanics concerning CI/ED. i try to get myself to maps lvl 10+ but i have 2 bigger Problems:

1. i think my ES is to low, with my 7500 ES i get 1-shottet sometimes.
2. i think my damage with 4500 tooltip-dps is to low.

the Problem i have is that i dont know why and how get rid of These 2 things.

maybe someone can help me and is able to explain me some of my mistakes. i don't know if my Problems are gear- or skilltreewise.

thx in regard and good Drops for all of u

Hi tanteMYN,

You need to change your privacy settings (hide char tabs). Its on by default and therefore noone can check your chars/gear/tree.



Hi xAgility,

You got some pretty nice and expensive gear and an interesting build. :)
I wonder why you are not using Discipline and Vulnerability from your flask (since you went a 2 curse setup)? Thats quite a loss of dps and ES which you basically compensate with your good gear. For example Vulnerability provides more dps overall than Slower Projectiles.

In your case i would drop Temporal Chains for Discipline. You would gain more dps from flask and more ES. On top of that when needed you could use Projectile Weakness now in the rare cases you need a 100% pierce, no need to take Piercing Shots. Instead you could go for Method to the Madness for even more dps.

These are just suggestions. If you are fine with your build, dont change anything. :)

I knew i forgot something :)
Hopefully it's working now. I'm not introduced in poe's forum so if i forgot
another thing plz let me know :)

ive followed ur tree and ive picked void barrier up too, im still lvl 83 though and will prolly have 7 extra points later,

where can i put these 7 passive points for more damage?i feel like my damage isnt that great for single targets like uber izzaro

ive been thinking about taking the witch start spell damage passives

Hi RabzH,

since we are using Decay and not spamming ED like in a poison based build, 12% Damage over time nodes are better than 10% Spell damage ones. There are 2 next to Growth and Decay.

You could improve your single target damage by using Faster Casting with your Wither Spell Totem (atm you have 2x Wither). More stacks of Wither earlier means more damage earlier and 140% increased chaos damage on 20 stacks is alot.
