Hi ! considering this for my league starter.

What do you think about The Grey Spire staff? from quickly looking through PoB it seems to be a straight better option in the weapon slot in both offense and defense. Am I missing something?

the idea about satff i craft to make Essence Drain high level so i can use the gem power

Right, sorry maybe I wasn't clear, what about this unique staff?

staff is good but not this build he just need good idea xD

Taking under consideration upcoming changes in Betrayal, do you think that this build still will be good to play? I am not sure details about changes and how they affect this build so I am asking more experienced players ;)

yes still play on 3.5 xD i'll update it soon

I wonder how the new occultist notable note will be performing compared to the trickster MOM version of this build (cloak of defiance buff)

I'm planning to play ED/contagion build as my 3.5 starter but trying to customize this build to being speed clear oriented. Any idea how much the new occultist notable will impact the power of this build?

It will be a decent amount of extra damage. Overall its a huge buff to ED/Contagion (I think around 77% more damage from Occultist + Tree nodes). Jewels and Shaper/Elder Items on top of that...should be really good!

It's nice to have some DoT damage buff with the new nodes + Occultist notables & elder/shaper Item mods. But my feeling is that a shadow/trickster will have fast clear spead but we'll see!

While this is technically correct, I think it is misleading to add the more modifiers. Those should always be multiplied to get the correct picture.

That gives 1,11*1,19*1,08*1,14*1,2*1,05 ~ 2.05

Or about twice the damage that one would normally get from taking all those nodes.
Also Cane of Unravelling gives about a 50% more modifier as well.
We can also get some level of this new "Non-ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier" on jewels and shaper+elder ITEMS (apparently not just weapons).

I would not be surprised if we will be seeing triple damage on ED, DP, and Blight builds.

EDIT: I am thinking that method of crafting will be an elder or shaper weapon (staff, sceptre, or dagger) and throw in an aberrant (chaos) + a faceted (level to gems) fossil. You should probably throw in an aetheric (more caster) for good measure. Throwing in a glyphic (gives a corrupt essence modifier) probably won't give the Decay modifier (25% chance) but if it does, there is a potential for something truly mirror-worthy.

What do we sacrifice by picking the new occu node?

Go malediction+withering and life instead of ci?
