GhazzyTV - Essence Drain & Contagion (or Bane/Soulrend) Trickster [SC/HC/Uber Elder/Shaper]

Spoiler


Still learning.

Struggling with my survival and damage past T13/14.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Had an absolute blast playing this build (made some changes to it from guide) this league, I'm now ready to swap to something else though so I'm selling all my gear, estimated cost is around 60ex, willing to sell all in one go for 50ex though!

When blasting maps with flasks/arcane surge active and using Discipline (my gear allows you to swap out Discipline which is 450 Energy Shield, for Aspect of the Spider, giving you 150k more DoT DPS and slowing enemies) my version has
Bleed Immune
Freeze Immune
Poison Immune
Curse Immune
Ignite Immune
62% Attack Dodge
64% Spell Dodge
60% Evade Chance
31% Phys Damage Reduction
5.4k Life
1.8k ES
1.1M DoT DPS

Probably the best version of the build to try and push to level 100.

Jeebus, how do you get 60EX+?

I am at like 1 EX and maybe 2 EX in gear and I have been playing a fair bit XD

I totally agree. His guide needs a whole lot of updating to do, and tidying up. Loads of information from past leagues that aren't relevant and such.

Hey guys,

I'm having some serious issues getting my guides updated in time for this league. As many of you know, I'm not a full-time streamer I work parttime job(s) to make ends meet and a few weeks ago I lost the job giving me guaranteed shifts. With this in mind I signed a contract a bit over a month ago to work at a rock festival here in Sweden (Sweden Rock Festival) which is where I'm sending this message from.
I've borrowed Hannas laptop so that I could make sure the guides got updated in time, however, I'm working 16-20h shifts with almost no sleep and just now finished the patch notes before heading to bed. So without looking at the tree in detail I will therefor give my verdicts of the builds further down in this post on all my build guides.

I sleep in a caravan during the event with 0 power supply so getting the computer charged is my main priority for tomorrow so that I could hopefully get PoB working on this shitty Apple laptop and I hope I can get the guides updated before Legion releases.

With this said and before I leave comments below specific for each guide I've posted this to:
Myself and many others are discussing builds, reviews, my guides over at my discord server www.discord.gg/GhazzyTV where you are more than welcome to get help from myself & many other PoE veterans on a daily basis, specially now before a league release. I'm able to get my phone charged at the work place but I'm unable to have the laptop there for a variety of risk reasons,

I hope you can forgive this one shitty situation out of the 6 years I've been making sure build guides with quality is available for the community and hope I can deliver on this release as well..





This build will in my opinion be the #1 league starter build for 3.7, it has been among the best league starter builds in the entire game ever since the release of the ability and the nerfs that hit Bane as well as Soulrend are not that massive, though I must say that I favour the approach of utilizing ED & Contagion again. Though I would feel confident being so bold to say that leveling with Bane should still be a preferable idea whilst leveling your ED & Contagion gems on the side. The build can handle Uber Elder, SSF, HC and SC on similar styles and still get away with an extremely minimal investment in the process of handling these contents. I feel very inclined to do this build again myself in 3,7 to farm Monoliths with due to how effective it'll be for that specific purpose on top of the end-game viability.

As mentioned above, I hope I can make sure the tree & PoB as well as the guide is sorted before release. In case this thread gets spammed I would love if someone could help Quote this message for new people to see the message so that noone is left in the dark which is very important to me and I hope you guys will have an amazing league start. I'll be back on Sunday to salvage what needs to be salvaged and then create new inspiring guides for the community!


For those just joining us.
The video is outdated but the gameplay remains the same.
Thread is updated to fit the 3.7 patch. If you spot anything that would require attention, don't hesitate to contact me so that I may fix any issues you stumble upon.

It's extremely hard to keep up with updating every video to every guide I have when I'm not a full time streamer but I do my best.



A friendly reminder that due to the fact stated above I am no longer able to respond to every question on the forum threads and have decided since some time ago to always answer questions asked via the YouTube videos, Twitter, Twitch and Discord. And please do note that I ALWAYS respond to EVERY question. The decision was made due to the fact that having forums to care for at the same time I simply couldn't keep up so this is to make sure there are platforms you can reliably always get an answer from me personally from.

Hello,

Thank you for putting effort in keeping your guides up to date.
I am thinking about trying this build for fun.
I am already 90lvl incinerate chieftain.

I am looking around for some Shadow builds and I am bit lost tbh.
There are a lot of ED builds. There are also something like Soulrends builds.
From what I get difference is that ED leechs life and Soulrend leech EnergyShield, right?
Can someone elaborate a little more about those two please?

Why in your topic name Soulrend is mentioned while it is nowhere in the build.
Do we change from ED to Soulrend when transition to MoM+ED is made?

Sorry if answers for my questions should be obvious, but I have no experience with ED, EB nor Soulrend.

Best Regards.
