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

I rushed updated it to 3.7 for anyone or Ghazzy to use for league start. (no changes I can tell from Ghazzy's 3.6 but could of missed something in my rush)

included small leveling tree's to closely follow Ghazzy's vid

PlZ give tips or found issues, thanks


Note: Build ends at Lv 90? League Start build/Currency start mostly?

Hyrri's Ire, Atziri's Splendour(Evasion/ES version), and
Queen of the Forest are recommended chests. What about The Perfect Form?

Absolutely valid option.
For those of you that had never used MOM/Eldritch Battery, read "Defence & Utility" in the guide (page 1) near the top, click on "Mind Over Matter eHP Calculator". Read the paragraph next to his name.

If you can't get close to that percentage then don't grab those two keystones.


why these dudes use bow for ED build? can someone explain? are these builds so expensive?

They use bow because +level of socketed gems.That gives a lot of damage..It is expensive because the items in those builds are crafted and armour is one of the most expensive one at least in league in standard is not that much.
Can this build comfortably take down shaper/elder with reasonable investment? I played ED about 5 leagues ago and had trouble with some map bosses. Are there still bosses completely immune to chaos?

Hey guys,

I'm having some serious issues getting my guides updated in time for this league. As many of you know, I'm not a full-time streamer I work parttime job(s) to make ends meet and a few weeks ago I lost the job giving me guaranteed shifts. With this in mind I signed a contract a bit over a month ago to work at a rock festival here in Sweden (Sweden Rock Festival) which is where I'm sending this message from.
I've borrowed Hannas laptop so that I could make sure the guides got updated in time, however, I'm working 16-20h shifts with almost no sleep and just now finished the patch notes before heading to bed. So without looking at the tree in detail I will therefor give my verdicts of the builds further down in this post on all my build guides.

I sleep in a caravan during the event with 0 power supply so getting the computer charged is my main priority for tomorrow so that I could hopefully get PoB working on this shitty Apple laptop and I hope I can get the guides updated before Legion releases.

With this said and before I leave comments below specific for each guide I've posted this to:
Myself and many others are discussing builds, reviews, my guides over at my discord server www.discord.gg/GhazzyTV where you are more than welcome to get help from myself & many other PoE veterans on a daily basis, specially now before a league release. I'm able to get my phone charged at the work place but I'm unable to have the laptop there for a variety of risk reasons,

I hope you can forgive this one shitty situation out of the 6 years I've been making sure build guides with quality is available for the community and hope I can deliver on this release as well..





This build will in my opinion be the #1 league starter build for 3.7, it has been among the best league starter builds in the entire game ever since the release of the ability and the nerfs that hit Bane as well as Soulrend are not that massive, though I must say that I favour the approach of utilizing ED & Contagion again. Though I would feel confident being so bold to say that leveling with Bane should still be a preferable idea whilst leveling your ED & Contagion gems on the side. The build can handle Uber Elder, SSF, HC and SC on similar styles and still get away with an extremely minimal investment in the process of handling these contents. I feel very inclined to do this build again myself in 3,7 to farm Monoliths with due to how effective it'll be for that specific purpose on top of the end-game viability.

As mentioned above, I hope I can make sure the tree & PoB as well as the guide is sorted before release. In case this thread gets spammed I would love if someone could help Quote this message for new people to see the message so that noone is left in the dark which is very important to me and I hope you guys will have an amazing league start. I'll be back on Sunday to salvage what needs to be salvaged and then create new inspiring guides for the community!

bump quote
I'd be interested to know how

1. the new Trickster Synergy of "Wicked Ward" and "Patient Reaper" and
2. the new "Flesh and Stone" Gem

would effect the build.

I have heard from multiple people that it's insane.

Notably here:

Sadly Tarke completely fails to give an actual Build Guide so we're stuck with this 3.6 Guide for the time being. (Which claims to be 3.7 but isn't)
