heres my gear for reference

I think you can get more DPS if you add one Doedre Ring, you need 5 curses in your chest for the curse multiplier i believe.

It deosnt seem with your current gear you are supporting the curses you have slotted?

what makes you say that? oh and i also now have a watchers eye with a 22% damage over time multiplier while affected by Malevolence. I notice that my Bane is doing INSANE amounts of damage - clears packs with basically 1 very fast hit, but contagion and ED are lacking in a sense. at like tier 4 maps for example - i can drop Bane once, run around for like 3 seconds and the boss is dead. Contagion and ED seem to have a way slower creep in damage in comparison.

hit me in game and we can count together, but from what you linked it appears you are casting 7 curses while supporting only 5 ...

testing this out and its a blast just getting into act 5 and already running 5 curses will get my 6th when i hit lvl 48 for the neck but(best Bane experience since it came out havent played Bane since then either)

but to my question how to path the Ascendensy tree, im guessing Profane Bloom as the first point for more clear after that Malediction ? for even more curses or go Void Beacon and Withering and end with Malediction ?

Love this build. Trying to craft my weapon now.
How do you craft the +2 to all chaos spells and +2 to all spell gems?

Well .. there are a couple of methods;


FOSSILS (3 socked Abberant, Scorched, Frigid)

Beastcrafting (Chaos spam then split when you hit one of the globals)

Alt - Regal (OldSchool) - Imprint when you hit the single mod


REMEMBER - You can buy a 6 Link Cane of Unraveling for 1 ex...

You can buy a already multimodded one for 9 ex...

Trying to craft one that is better could take 20-50 ex and it is a SMALL upgrade...


Start with a starter staff and focus on all the other gear first is my recommendation.

Thanks! I guess that +4 chaos gem staff is too expensive to craft! I'll stick to my Cane of Unraveling for now then. I just like the idea of "Trigger a Socketed Spell when you use a Skill" so I can just spam Bane :)

You can craft a +2 Spell gem Global or +3 Chaos Gem Global staff and multimod it to completion for 7-9 ex , I can sell you a base if you want.

Spamming bane and triggering the other 2 spells every 4 seconds is nice.

Do you have another link like for path of building and some tips on levelling, please

I havent built this in POB, its so much damage that there isnt really a threshold i targeted.
