ES build with shield is expensive because high ES shields with ES on block are the bottleneck of the build and it costs a lot to get a perfect shield. The build is more tanky but lower damage. If you want good damage you'll need double corrupted suitable chest with gem levels and that is VERY expensive.

ES build with bow as CI should have similar damage, but more spiky damage taken (you have more ES than life but you get hit for more). You will also have to spec zealot's oath to keep ED inbuilt regen useful.

Low life will have more damage from pain attunement / extra aura, but you will not be chaos immune while you'll have to worry more about stuff that ruins ES recharge (ignite, dots), not have the dodge and get annoyed by no mana regen maps.

The build does hold up in that it can do it, but usually takes a few portals. If anyone has any thoughts or advice that would be helpful as I've been considering switching to a LL/CI variation for a while but haven't gotten a clear idea if it will be any better.

Last league I played CI Vortex and just had to learn all the fights until I could do them deathless. The damage on this build is definitely there, I have a few videos I could post - but there's enough in this guide.
Sirus fight just needs you to stay close so you can see what he doing all the time in the final fight. Further away from him you are the more attacks he will do that can really mess you up. Uber Elder is the same. Circle them both so you know what they are doing at all times and just damage at appropriate times. Elder is a joke tbh, he melts through phases pretty fast - keep close nearly all the time, just dash away when he blinks or does degen on the ground; Shaper is just a drawn out fight once you know it and is more of arena control battle.

Hi everyone.
So this is actually the second time I played ed/contagion. First was in blight.
I got level 95 36\40 this league withoit any big problems.
Beat 20\20 Simulacrum, UElder, A8 Sirus, Shaper, HOGM deathless and everything else except delve (I just don't like it at all).
It was my only build this league so I just progressed until the end.
Ended up with 1 big, 2 medium and 1 small cluster jewels. IMO it's more damage and survivability than just 1 medium and 1 small.
I highly recommend this build just for everyone at any league point.
Big thanks to @Darkxellmc

Just attempted Aul at depth 283. What's the strategy here? Don't get hit? lol

This is my first real try at a league and I really enjoyed this build. Kind of at a standstill with my gear because of the costs of upgrades (I have 20ex) unless I am missing something. Sirus A8 is really difficult for me, always takes a few portals. Going to try deep delving and see how far I can get I think until league ends

For 20 ex (or less) you can probably get a better quiver than soul strike.

anbody selling endgame gear?

i cant buy any decent amulets so i am trying to craft one
i have a question, how do i tell that there is only 1 influenced mod on the item?

"

2) Make sure there is only one influenced mod on each item.

Thx

There are two icons top left and right of an item. So on a hunter amulet you would see a image of 4 squiggly lines and the amulet looks green. If it had two influences those images would be different representing the two influences.

Best bet for an amulet is to buy a hunter agate amulet (can have +1 gems and cdot) or just elder (only cdot) and just abberant fossil spam with solo resonator until you get +1 to chaos gems, or +16% cdot. usually I buy 2 when i am crafting and use 1 while trying to perfect another.

You'll get something usable on them, may take around 10 tries, but thats still pretty cheap tbh.

Attention, double influence is something different than two influenced mods!

If you search on trade, you can hover all the mods and make sure there is only one "of the hunt"/"Hunter's" mod (the one you aim for!) on an Hunter influenced Item or "eldrich"/"Elder" on th Elder influenced Item. Other wise its not guaranteed the right mod gets transfered.

Its still true that you should also avoid double influenced items as craft base!

Neither double influence nor with more than one desired influenced mod!
