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

So i was taking a look at the CI staff setup and I noticed you are using soulrend instead of Essence drain? Was this a mistake or is this now a Soulrend/Essence drain build?

Cloak of Defiance no longer listed, but still seems like a decent choice. Can anyone who has switched over from the old Swift Killer/Weave the Arcane build weigh in?

Made nice chest today

What are the recommended auras to go with a Devouring Diadem? Malevolence and Zealotry?

is acro and phase acro necessary for the new build?

Hello !

Thanks for the build guide ! I played it this league and this is so much fun !
I'm hitting hight levels now, but I'm still very new to the game. Would you wind making an even more depth description of the gear to pick up ?

There's different choices between some uniques in your guide, but I don't know which one to focus on, speaking about the chest. 6L chest is pretty expensive for a new player, that's why I want to be sure to pick the right one. :)
Thanks and keep makking great stuff !

Hi!

I have really no idea what am i doing wrong.
I am using like you wrote on the first page, EB, MoM. But when a monster hits me i am only losing my HP, i got 3.9k hp and 2.7k ES with 25% unreserved mana.

sorry for the stupid question for experienced players this should be obvious.
HELP PLS:D

Is says Bane/Soulrend in the build title, but there is no mention of Soulrend in any of the info about the build, nor the PoB.

Am I missing something? Or is it just that Soulrend will work in place of Bane 1-for-1?
