Perhaps go back and get an Staff, sell this bow for currency and upgrade everything else.

Tbh if you have a 6-link cane it's probably better for damage than your current bow, you'll temporarily lose the quiver slot but it's probably worth it for now, just be sure you have enough strength to use cane.

Thank you Darkxellmc for an awesome build! I have had a ton of fun playing and have reached level 97! Currently, I am having a lot of trouble on the end game bosses like Sirus and Kosis. I find that I don't use the Blight setup very often, as I am so busy dodging around, using my flasks, and applying contagion and essence drain. (I admit that I don't have the gaming skill that some of you have!) I was wondering if I could put in a second essence drain setup into my chest. I could put a curse on hit, enfeeble, and culling strike. Maybe something else defensive too. Would this work in addition to the essence drain setup in my bow? Basically, I would like something in my chest that would work passively, so that I have one less button that I have to worry about pushing in the heat of battle!

No, a second essence drain doesn't stack sadly.

In your chest, you may put a CwDT setup with:

CwDT(20) - Steelskin - Stone golem(or chaos) - Enfeeble - Blade vortex - Blade blast

Make sure BV is before blade blast in order, to get the unnerving explosion in a single proc.

Thanks for the help! Got the changes made and am testing it out as we speak!

Hi! I still love this guide.

I little while ago I had a damage problem. I'm at the point where Shaper and Elder and guardians die, but it takes a while. Then I realized that I still had my old bow (+1 all / +2 support).

So now, I've got my primary weapon on Essence Drain and my secondary weapon on Blight. It's pretty great! Means i don't get Vaal Blight off often, but regular Blight has way more damage due to the beefy bow levels. I suggest folks try it out. The weapon swapping is pretty nice with DOT, and things like infused channeling seem to carry over (at least, the icon does ... haven't done any fancy experiments). I can tell when it's time to switch back to ED if I get hit and my HP doesn't instantly refill.

This also lets you put CWDT in your chest even if you like blight. Buying a second bow is expensive, but I already had one. Buying a second Soul Strike was not expensive.

Also, if anyone has some other even better idea for a weapon swap skill, I'd love to hear it. I figured Blight was the best one since the OP recommended it for people who didn't want a CWDT setup in the chest.

I was under the impression that if you weapon swap, the skill applied by the inactive weapon will be removed from the target? If that's the case it means weapon swap is a nice solution for builds that swap between clearing and bossing skills (let's say typical iceshot + barrage build), but not for multi-dotting. You could have bight in a secondary weapon but then you'd only do damage with blight not with ED.

I just tried putting like 1 stack of blight on a mob and then swapping back to my ED bow - mob was still taking DOT. Am I doing something wrong?

It totally seems like this works when I do it the normal way (ED usually, blight sometimes), but maybe Blight is just that good. Idk.

According to this, the DOT keeps doing work after a weapon swap. Righteous Fire is an exception, but that's not us! (or at least... it's not me... right now)

Cool, so it works after all? Guess I was wrong then.

So if I really wanted to go all out, I could keep ED in my good bow, then get Blight in either my lesser bow or my chest and Bane/Despair in the other one.

I don't think any of this matters for clearing, but I've noticed that Witchfire isn't always enough on bosses.

In the guide the image of where to place the Green Nightmare gem doesn't tie up with the PoB (I can't paste it for some reason but I expect you can see it easy enough in the guide).

It shows the gem being slotted below and left of the cluster jewel setup, but the skills that have been taken in the image are not taken in the PoB, so the jewel will only get the benefit of 1 node in the actual PoB choices.

Is that what was intended or am I missing something? TIA

I spent 1 annul on a +Dex, fuses and 4ex.
