[3.15] Curse by Walking Cursebot | 9 Curses with x3-5 Curse Effectivness | Occultist

The reason why we go for Occultist is to be able to curse Hexproof enemies through "Profane Bloom" and get an aditional curse from "Malediction"

Order:
1. Malediction
2. Profane Bloom
3. Vile Bastion
4. Void Beacon

The reason why we go for Occultist is to be able to get an aditional curse from "Malediction" and Wither stacks from "Withering Presence"

Order:
1. Malediction
2. Void Beacon
3. Withering Presence
4. Vile Bastion

Weapon Slot 1:
We are using the "Ephemeral Edge" as we do not care about dealing damage ourself but the "increased maximum energy shield" mod provides a nice and decent boost to survivability

Weapon Slot 2:
Now that we got a nerf to "Dark Discourse" we compensate this by using a ilvl 80 or higher Redeemer Shield to get access to the "increased Effect of your Curses" mod, if you did not get enough Attributes on your Cluster Jewels you can additionally use the Shield to fix your Attributes.


Helmet:
In this version the "Heretic's Veil" is a Mandatory Item as it allows us to use 3 Curses ("Enfeeble", "Temporal Chains" and "Elemental Weakness") as Auras together with a "Enhance Support" at reduced Manareservation


Body Armour:
To fit all the curses we use a "Doedre's Skin" which has the Unique Skill "Summon Doedre's Effigy", this skill Summons an unkillable Totem that applies all Hex-Curses that are Socketed in "Doedre's Skin" as Auras that ignore your curselimit but have 25% reduced Curse Effect, if you bind "Summon Doedre's Effigy" to your leftclick you can quite litterally play this build with only one button


Gloves:
We use the "Vixen's Entrapment" because they are the only gloves that give you an additional curse.


Boots:
In the Boots slot we start out with "Windscream" boots, because they are a cheap way to get an additional curse.


Later we then upgrade them into "Windshriek", which give an additional "60% increased Area of Effect of Hex Skills"


Amulet:
We want an amulet with a "You can apply an additional Curse" corruption to allow you to use "Assassin's Mark", preferably a "Jinxed Juju" for the "increased Effect of your Curses" mod. With the new corrupted Oil from Blight we can focus on getting a perfect curse roll on our corrupted "Jinxed Juju" and then annoint it with most optimally "Charisma" to ease the burden on our Manareservation


Rings:
It is vital that we go for two "Replica Doedre's Damning" these Rings are the reason why we try to get as many "You can apply an additional Curse" mods as they reduce the amount of curses you can cast by one in exchange for a big boost to curse effect.


Belt:
With the introduction of "increased Effect of your Curses" as mods on "Abyss Jewels" the optimal choice becomes a "Stygian Vise" to allow us to use one more of those Jewels aswell as fix our Attributes at the same time.

Weapon Slot 1:
For the Bow version we are using a Rare Bow with an effective +5 to our socketed gems, sadly this Bow uses 2 delve only modifiers that can not be crafted so you either need to go delving yourself or buy it from someone that does
Another small upgrade to this bow would be to have the "+8% to Quality of Socketed Gems" craft instead of the for us useless chaos damage.


Weapon Slot 2:
In our Offhand we are using a Rare Quiver to either fix our Attributes or a "Soul Strike" to increase our defensive capabilities.

Helmet:
Here we use a Rare Helmet that has the "5% Reduced Mana Reservation" Essencemod that you get from the "Deafening Essence of Loathing", any Energy Shield Rolls or Attribute fixes are appreciated, if you have the extra exalts to spend you could get a base with the "30% increased Elemental Weakness Curse Effect" or "30% increased Assassin's Mark Curse Effect" enchantment

Helmet:


In the Helmet we link "Enfeeble", "Temporal Chains", "Elemental Weakness" and "Enhance Support". "Temporal Chains" and "Enfeeble" will result in enemies hardly moving at all and if they by offchance still get to damage you their damage will be significantly reduced this makes them the strongest defensive curses we can use. "Elemental Weakness" is going to reduce the elemental resistance of enemies significantly resulting in a huge boost of damage that has even bigger impact on bosses, even if you are only dealing one elemental type as damage in your group it outclasses the monotype curses because of its Quality scaling.
Armour:

In our "Doedre's Skin" we are going to deposit the rest of our curses("Vulnerability","Despair","Conductivity","Flammability" and "Frostbite") "Vulnerability" and "Despair" don't contribute much unless your damage dealer also uses DoTs for damage. "Conductivity","Flammability" and "Frostbite" further scale our elemental damage and as a bonus provide our damage dealer with very 100% chance to Ignite, Shock and Freeze

Boots:

The Boot Sockets are used for our "Assassin's Mark" setup, "Empower Support", "EnhanceSupport" and "Enlighten Support" are used as purely numerical improvements. "Assassin's Mark" increases the critical strike chance and critical strike multiplier of attacks on the target which makes it one of the easiest and best ways to scale damage on bosses. Using an "Anomalous Assassin's Mark" grants the skill an aditional "Cursed Enemies take 4% increased damage" modifier at 20% Quality, this makes "Enhance Support" by far the strongest support for it as this value gets scaled with curse effect.

Gloves:
Our Utility Skills are socketed here, "Portal" because noone wants to carry "Portal Scrolls" and we use "Dash" over "Flame Dash" as the later can damage enemies and steal kills away from our culler because of that, "Faster Casting Support" and "Second Wind Support" make the active skills more confortable to use.

Bow:

In our Bow we link "Elemental Weakness","Temporal Chains","Enfeeble","Awakened Blasphemy Support","Empower Support" and "Enhance Support". We need to use "Awakened Blasphemy Support" to turn our curses into Auras, the Awakened version is sadly mandatory because of its lower mana reservation multiplier which is needed. "Temporal Chains" and "Enfeeble" will result in enemies hardly moving at all and if they by offchance still get to damage you their damage will be significantly reduced this makes them the strongest defensive curses we can use. "Elemental Weakness" is going to reduce the elemental resistance of enemies significantly resulting in a huge boost of damage that has even bigger impact on bosses, even if you are only dealing one elemental type as damage in your group it outclasses the monotype curses because of its Quality scaling. "Empower Support" and "Enhance Support" provide us with huge boosts to our curses base stats making them mandatory in this settup if we want to beat out the "Heretic's Veil" setup.

Armour:
Use any defensive or Utility Setup you like in here you have the space and its not needed for the build to function. A good settup could be a "Vaal Discipline" or a "Cast When Damage Taken" with "Steelskin" or "Immortal Call"
