[3.24] Bane/Blight Occultist Starter

Hi, the guideline is now updated to 3.21. The PoB link: https://pobb.in/u/Xayazi/bbocc.
How do I choose a build on the forum:
1. The author has 30+ league progress.
2. The author plays with this build.
Thank you for an excellent build & guide. It's very enjoyable to play, much more than the other types of builds that I've tried. https://pobb.in/aB6r0A6FKZIu

Do you have any thoughts regarding medium/small cluster jewels, like notable skills maybe worth picking up, aside from the chaos ones? I went for a full tree mostly to try it out, mostly for damage but also managed to fix some issues like my spell surpression.

I also wish to thank @mortnik11 for posting his pobb. Good inspiration.


Hi, glad you like it! In the guide I covered using a small cluster jewel to incorporate Malevolence in the upgraded setup. Other than that, I don't think there's anything that should be used universally. There are some options for customization, e.g. if you're building for mapping, then eventually you might want to get more out of flasks or improve their reliability with medium flak jewels.

Oh, I forgot about Malevolence. Now I got it running, used Mortifying Aspect+Sublime Form. Ty! Update

Hi all, not much changes in the guideline for now, but I intend to play the build yet again and note down anything relevant that comes up.

The PoB link: https://pobb.in/u/Xayazi/bbocc (this link is always set to the current version).

Here's the link to the levelling doc

As for bandits, you kill them all. It isn't mentioned in the document but it's in the POB (which requires path of building installed)

You start with freezing pulse (blight is optional early on as backup for close combat/damage over time for certain situations).

Yo, absolutely blasting with this build, I love the interaction with LL and ES mechanics, works so well, also pretty decent on very tanky mobs like metamorphs, essences, bosses. I thought occultist chaos was more for like clearing but bossing is decent enough

Hey, glad to hear it :) In the big picture, it's not great for everything at the same time, but there are some options to adjust the build to the content you want to focus on. For example, picking the +1 chaos mastery and using Punishment instead of Enfeeble can be pretty reliable for some bosses, but then again, recently I've been farming Legions using a setup with 6L Bane on Spell Cascade (getting a few white sockets helps for swapping) and Death's Rush.
