There are like 50 things about your version that are fascinating to me. Congrats on your success! How does General's Cry work without being linked to anything in the unset? I'm hoping I'm missing something but idk. Thanks!

Hi, i am thinking of switching to this build but i have concerns about clear speed. Without profane bloom and without area scaling and the „stationary“ aspect of the skill i think clearing will be very teadious. What are your experiences?

I mention all over the place that this isn't the fastest clearing build, but it's far from tedious. We don't have a rotation needed to do all our damage like some slam builds, and enemies that aggro into our Vortex die quickly. For a melee-range build I think most people clear fairly well. Just don't expect to compete with Burning Arrow.

Hi, i am thinking to try this build out and dont have much experience with ES based builds or Occultist, i only played a ED/C Occultist last league to farm legion. So i have a few questions, currently i have a Bleed EQ Glad for bossing that i dont want to push anymore and i dont like the weaponswap in this build.

1 How good can i compare these two build, the vortex Occ is probably not so tanky as my Glad with max block so i dont can facetank diebeams or meteors.

2 How does it perform in Heists, Ultimatums and Delve?

3 I want to start getting into crafting, is crafting for this build something i can start with or do i need more crafting experience?

Ah. Initially that was just a cheap elder ring I used to level up empower gems. On the last day I found the general cry and though I'd level that up to sell (turns out I didn't have enough str anyway).

Hi I'm pretty new in PoE and I still don't understand all mechanics.
Can someone tell me what in my equipment i should change in first place? I cant default sirius :(

You have pretty much the same equipment as me and are a level higher, you should be able to do sirus with no problems. I haven't tried it past awakening level 7 yet but i did it deathless for now. You probably just need to practice the fight, try to watch a boss guide too to understand all the mechanics.
Have you ever killed him before? How many times did you try to fight him in total? What awakening level were those?

@skub - Get a jewel with "Corrupted Blood cannot be inflected on you" as an implicit. Pretty much mandatory for the fight, makes a world of difference. Other than that, your gear looks good, as SimRose says, it will just come down to mechanics and learning the fight.

It IS the worst fight in POE too, I really hate it, such a cluster F#$k!

Has anyone made a POE leveling guide for this build?
