I'm actually doing t15 maps and i must say i find Allelopathy / Blight pretty uselees right now. Bosses on this tier will not allow you to play static. You must move so you can't use it without a totem. Using a totem the damage burst is pretty small and i don't think is worth to use it there instead of wither. And for map clearing Blight has no use.

Blight was pretty nice until tier 13-14 maps and also with Apex/Atziri runs. But now i feel i could get more value with another gloves and a different gem setup.

Anyone on my same situation? doing t15 and has begun to think to replace Allelopathy? Thoughts?


Depend on the user. For me, blight skill really help me to kill the boss faster and provided additional slow debuff when killing boss. In fact, blight skill really help me to do corrupt hydra map deathless.

Thanks for the reply. Do you use totem support with blight?

Could you post your setup?

If you have the currency, go for it.

Okay, so this is the more budget one? Is there a big difference in cost and effectiveness?
Hey thanks for this awesome guide! I just didn't really understand how to do the build with witchfire brew. Do you change the passives to get +1 curses, look for a +1 curse amulet, or neither of those?

UPDATE: Think I found my answer in comments, just get the second curse after finished skill tree apparently. I was also wondering, I have an empower, but not yet a 6-link cloak. Would you still use the empower for a 5-link instead of one of the other support gems, or drop it?
Another question

I have seen people go for the "Whisper of doom" nod so enemies can have another curse yet I can't seem to find why. What is the other curse in this build that people use?

nvm, figured it out.

Hey there could you please check out my character and tell me which of my gear should be changed ? Thanks in advance
Just had a thought.. would https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Skin_of_the_Loyal be better than a +1 tabula rasa?

I figure it's exactly the same, but Skin of the Loyal gives 100% more armor, evasion and es?


EDIT: also I'd love to know if an 80% chaos damage cherribims or a +1 body armor wins out in pure damage.

on my (imperfect 78% cherr) setup tabula +1 gives a 10k increased dot damage on ed according to PoB (20% increase). If you were to roll a +1 gem on a skin of the loyal it has to be better, but the chances of finding the right colors and getting +1 have to be so low. Or you can just upgrade it to skin of the lords with phase acro for 30% spell dodge but that is a 1/25.

Of course you could just roll a +1 on your cherr too :)

Tabula +1 is just the easiest and cheapest

I`m ATM lvl 62 with this build, and OMFG it´s insane at clearing :D I struggle with traps during labs - I get absolutely violated by them; am I doing something wrong or?
what do you drop to use damage gems with allelopathy gloves? immortal call/shield charge? does blight without damage support gems do noticeable damage?
