Well from the looks of things with the introduction of Blight league in 3.8, I am rather certain that Occultist ascendancy and overall utilities/defenses she provides will be there to stay in 3.8. Damage of Essence Drain, its interaction with Contagion, Contagion itself (and Bane if it's so unlucky, but I doubt it), however, are a different story - the buff to minions means summoners will have a field day, and similar to Mine builds. Melee will probably undergo some balance with busted skills a little bit, but mechanics of melee attacks like animation cancelling, melee splash are there to say.
Even though patch notes for 3.8 are not out, I believe ED/Contagion will receive a pretty big hit, considering that it was the second most overused skill combo in 3.7. We'll see if it's usable or not in 3.8, but I think it probably will be fine - gotta check for dmg loss later on, but I predict about 25% dmg loss. Contagion probably will have reduced radius and that means we probably no longer see monsters die 2 or 3 screens away. A filthy casual Last edited by Hologram_o#6409 on Aug 20, 2019, 11:22:28 PM

3.8 Balance Manifesto is out (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2627116). To summarize, changes are:
1. Occultist ascendancy for the build remains unchanged aside from Vile Bastion (which we don't take anyway). 2. As I predicted earlier, they butcher Contagion a little bit, giving it less AoE. This skill no longer grants increased radius upon leveling up. Meaning this skill will not have radius +4 at level 20 or 21. However, this can be somewhat resolved with giving this gem max quality or higher than 20% quality for 10% increased area of effect, and speccing into increased AoE nodes on tree (Hex Master cluster for example), or spare a gem lot for increased AoE support/Intensify support to make Contagion work. Contagion's mechanics remain the same (as it should because if it no longer supports ED might as well just remove ED from the game). This will however hurt the ED/Contagion version of the build, the Bane/ED versions will do just fine. 3. No mentioning of Essence Drain being one of the most powerful skills in 3.7 that need adjustment. My guess is that not many people will run ED/Cont combo again in 3.8 as Contagion has been nerfed pretty decently hard and ED usually needs Contagion or else clear speed doesn't exist. (ED/Bane clears more slowly). This nerf alone already affects the clear speed of ED/Cont combo, however, I still think ED will receive around 25% dmg loss when Patch Notes 3.8 come out (in about 1 day). But if there isn't any nerf, then it's a good thing as well! 4. From the Manifesto itself, ""Clarity has also been changed to grant higher values of mana regeneration at higher gem levels. A variety of new passive tree clusters have been added, including one that improves mana and Arcane Surge, one that gives curse bonuses and a way to recover mana after hitting or killing cursed enemies, and one that grants Spell Damage based on your maximum mana, up to a limit." - This is a great bonus for utility, at least we're still safe from having to use mana flasks because our mana regen will be better in 3.8. - Curse bonus is also very great for this build guide (I guess what they mean is the increase in curse effects), we always need more of that, so that's some great news for our occultist, yay! - More spell dmg from Arcane Surge and based on maximum mana, so this is pretty good too, I think it probably will make up for the potential dmg loss of Essence Drain once patch notes are out. Other than that, nothing else very significant has been mentioned. A filthy casual Last edited by Hologram_o#6409 on Sep 2, 2019, 9:16:46 PM

" Yeah Bane/ED will be fine, clear speed will be a bit slower, but a 30% increased movement speed boots + a quicksilver flask to zoom zoom will be decently good, still. Also now that there are these changes, you can change Temp chain in Bane setup and add in Poacher's Mark for 3 frenzy charges like what I posted earlier, and free up 2 gem slots (Vaal Blight + Contagion) as well. Vaal Blight is a vaal skill and we don't use it very often as it needs souls. Other than some slight buff to chaos dmg and some slow that overrides spider stacks, it doesn't do anything else + 1 more button to press. I figure since we have 2 open gem slots we can now put in cwdt + any offering skill for corpse destruction to deal with porcupines and detonate dead effects from other things. I believe this is a well-rounded approach that patches up the last defensive hole in the build, making it no longer fear running any maps with said porcupines.
