Nice guide, thanks!

Btw, can u explain what is the greatest difference between this build and the "normal" Bane? (with Swift Affliction, Controlled Destruction and Efficacy on links, instead of curses).

Ty o/


big difference is UE die in 1-2min
one hit monolith cleared

Why allocates arcane guarding if u dont use shield?



It is part of my Elegant Hubris jewel, the node is changed to an 80% Spell Damage node

It is the last place i go in the tree.

It makes using some items with Minion Damage viable (Which i was experimenting with)

You can build that section out elsewhere if you gain no benefit from the Minion Damage crossover... but its a decent direction to go regardless.

What other utilization of points would you suggest?

Why using Haste instead of discipline ?

Any reason to go Vile Bastion instead of Withering presence ?

Btw very nice build! Ive converted my cursebot to this build and im very satisfied so far!

Both are just personal preference -

Currently i am using Haste cause i am 0% at 98 and the occasional death is no big deal, I also have a cool watchers eye with double haste bonus and the Malevolence Bonus which I got cheap.

When I push levels, I use discipline/Vaal Discipline and change out the watcher.

Vile Bastion is a very solid choice... I took Withering for the Stun Immunity and just have gotten used to it... also, with my current gear I have MORE than enough DPS, so the Utility of Withering Presence, for me, is more noticable than the additional overcapping of my DPS with Vile Bastion.

Vile Bastion is a great source of DPS boosting and a fine way to go... just do what feels best based on your level and goals...


Both good observations though !

Only curses directly linked to bane increased bane damage.

The curses socketed in the gloves and applied via the gloves trigger to not apply the MORE damage effect of bane because they are not linked to bane.

Is that the question you were asking ?

Hi there !
Never played a curse Bot before and was interested in your build, looks fun !

What do you think about using bane in your staff, Hoag and ball lightning + poison to trigger bane and get virulence stacks ?
Projectile weakness could replace warlord's mark to increase the dps.

Could it perform better than essence drain and make solo content easier ?

Maybe replace some jewel sockets / spell damage (like starting area) for some mana reservation nodes, even sacrifying a curse for the herald ring from synthesis (can't remember wich one it is).

edit : circle of nostalgia it is =) and instead of haste / discipline, hatred would add some more damage

Played a bit with PoB, https://pastebin.com/UuCuZJcH , still missing res / flask / a decent helmet

I saw you played some of your Characters with The Queen's Hunger Chest. Could you elaborate on why you chose Carcass Jack this time?
