This is a life build tho? Zealot's Oath is for ES builds (low life / CI).

Sorry. brain overload, almost melting, from looking at too many builds the last two days. So my addled brain confuses them.

Lots more life regen for ~3% less damage is worth it. Just that it's harder to get a lvl21 gem if you have to level and vaal alt quality gems. I guess a chase goal if you play forever :)

Nah. The leech is already very high. You want as much damage as you can.

So I read somewhere on here that this build is better than the C.I. variants. Ziz just dropped his updated video today on his ED trickster, which of course is C.I. like most builds.

As a first time ED/Contagion player, which build would be the best for me to start Heist league? Ive been practicing in standard with this build, but after watching Ziz video today I'm confused on which one I should go with.

Any advanced players have any input for me? Thanks!

Honestly, pick one and just play it. Both Ziz build and this build will carry you trough most of the game. You can eventually swap between them with some regrets and a bit of a gear change :)

Hey, thanks for the nice guide.
Do you have a leveling skill tree by chance? I'm not really sure which way to go first when leveling :/

Here is a modified PoB i did for myself for leveling
https://pastebin.com/cNpSsTmJ

Just select levels on the PoB tree.
Hope it helps
Edit: Took some mana reserved nodes because i plan to level with spellslinger

Could you talk about how are you going to level after nerfs? Just dropping soulrend or what?

Thank you for the quick reply.

I guess I was wondering what each build is better at compared to the other. If both will get me through the game and it isn't too hard to respec, I will just start with this build. Especially because I feel like the gear needed for the C.I. build will be more expensive due to the fact that it seems to be more popular.

Thanks again.

Ten outta ten, would league start again.

What jewel is going in the large jewel socket near Acrobatics?

(sorry if I missed that out, can't find)

Yea probably, gotta see how those mana reserved nodes help. If they dont i will just drop Soulrend and focus on ED+C and blight for bosses

Actually, EDtricksters had the following repartition in harvest endgame:

CI, all types: 32%
Lowlife, all types: 23%
Mom + EB/Diadem: 30% (most of them are doing this build)

While CI has more visibility and is likely to have a higher playrate than what the ladder reflects (top player builds are skewed), this playerbase is also not the one that make prices change too much. Hyrri's ire has been consistently expensive at league start for a while now, and in the endgame has more trickster using it than deadeyes.
Honnestly, I think the price progression is smoother on a CI block ed trickster than on a dodge based bow weilder. Dodge based ed-c trickster has a spot around early red maps where you don't have enough currency to get the key defensive pieces, and content kinda wrecks you for a while (before the defensive layers kick in in the endgame). CI is a smoother build as the defences are less relient on specific item mods.

I still don't like CI tricksters in softcore trade, because I find the damage ceiling too low when you want to scale more endgame gear. Personnal preference.

Note that Ziz guides have a bad tendency of not explaining much what mod to seek for on rares for endgame upgrades to reach good tankyness and damage. Block based CI ed trickster is a very well proven concept, you'll be fine playing it. But if you wanna push it in SC trade, you may have to check guides explaining the endgame potential of every gearpiece in more details. Hasunic guide is very good for this. His last video seemed more polished this time tho, so I suppose we're going in the right direction.
