[3.25]💥Lahkesis Queen of Chaos"Essence Drain/Bane"[LowLife] 💥💥

Hi! I have two questions:

1: Which Ascendancy points would you take as a low lifer with this build? In your PoB build you take Malediction and Withering Presence. Your text guide says to take some ascendancies which aren't even ascendancies anymore (Like Wicked Ward). And I saw Vile Bastion, Malediction and Void Beacon somewhere but can't remember where.
They all sound good, so what would you take?


2: I am really squishy with that build. I have 4.6k ES and whenever I get attacked a little bit by T4 Map monsters, the shield just goes *poof* and I'm dead. Resists are capped, chaos is at 43%.


Edit: Having taken Zealot's Oath did make it a little bit easier for me, but that regeneration still isn't that much.

Hi in your PoB link, you have a Watcher's Eye with :
"Damaging Ailments you inflict deal damage 15% faster while affected by Malevolence"

Doest it works with Essence Drain or it's for an other purpose ?

What would be the perfect 3 mods Watcher's Eye ?

I don't think it does as the degen is not considered an ailment.
Probably only happened to be on there.
The more important mod is the Non-Ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier

I guess the perfect one would be someting like
x% to Non-Ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier while affected by Malevolence
Gain x% of Maximum Mana as Extra Maximum Energy Shield while affected by Clarity
x% increased Energy Shield Recovery Rate while affected by Discipline
or x% faster start of Energy Shield Recharge while affected by Discipline

The Multiplier for Damage and the rest for more tankiness I guess.
I don't think there are more mods than from Malevolence, that actually helps for damage reliably.


Also on the topic of tankiness: What really helped me on not dying during Legion encounters past T11 is this little thing:



Actually gave me some more Regen that keeps me alife alot

About crafting the +3 weapon.
Can this also be done on a wand?

I would like to use a shield (no 2h staff), so for me it would be etiher a bow or a wand.

Seems to be a rly nice build. I'll make my witch today :)

Thank you very much for the guide!!

Thanks for this great build. It is really fun to play.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the detailed guide :)

However, I'm having problems with survivability, with only 6.7k ES at lv 73. Yellow maps are already some big trouble for me. I am still yet to go for aura reserved nodes, and so I haven't got malevolence and zealotry in yet (I'm going for the low life variant with ED and Bane). So far I have very solid dmg for the current yellow map tier I'm running, but anything that shoots a lot of projectiles at the same time kill me very quickly :(. I have capped res, got a 6L shav's wrapping and a temporary 6L short bow without multi-craft, presence of Chayula, rare helmet and rare gloves like you recommended (the helm and gloves cost a lot). If you can take a look at my char (Hologram_x) and let me know how to improve my gear that'd be very appreciated!

EDIT: Lahkesis helped me in game, very quickly after I made this post. Hard lesson learned today about offense vs defense. Thank you for such quick help!
