Hi bonerkill#1301
Thanks for the tips, I think i was stuck longing for an occultist built i played in POE1 that was a faster clear!
I may need to start a new toon, since i went bloodmage instead of Demon form...hopefully the Queen of Chaos is a blood mage build lolol

Made it to cruel, and im curious if anyone had massive difficulty with ed? I followed a few of the builds in this chat, but man it just feels bad.
Hoping we either get a buff or something soon for HC content.
Personally I did not have any issues with bosses or clear for all of the campaign since first ascendancy unlocking Demon Form.
I am currently in maps with 3336 ES, capped fire res, 50% other res
I am still running maximum 10 demonflame ascendancy, and maps are a breeze. I toss out ed->contagion and throw out Dark Effigy with withering touch and can't remember the name but the support that makes totems cast like 80% faster. Its basically instant cast.
I run whispers of Doom and mostly just use Despair only for super dense packs or super tanky rares/bosses. Apart from that I have chaotic freeze on my contagion and Enfeeble on Blasphemy (might switch to Temp Chains) so if I ever get surrounded I just spam spell echo hex blast on top of me. This pretty instantly kills chaff and freezes any remaining beefy bois
Having watched content of other builds, this is absolutely not a hyper zoom crazy build, its more akin to cold dot occultist in PoE1. Its not a zoomer, but its a reliable tanky damage dealer. It won't kill bosses the fastest in the game, but there is basically zero excuse to ever die on a boss because all you have to do is cast dots every 7-8 seconds and then focus on dodging. Even still, Doryani in Cruel Act 3 was maybe 2-3 minute fight tops. The thing with DoT builds is their DPS is not flashy, but your uptime should be basically 100%.
EDIT: just want to add, do not ignore Skill Effect duration nodes on the tree. Even just one "cluster" of them makes a massive QoL difference. I have 55% from tree and 12% from a jewel and then with ED swift affliction->chain->persistence it still has a duration of almost 9 seconds and this is before 20% quality.
Duration is not "dps", but it does help keep up consistent damage while not destroying your mana pool and makes bosses much more relaxed. The goal of DoT builds is never raw dps, its about dps uptime.
So you're CI? how do you sustain your ES pool?
I am in HC and considering going CI in the future, but not sure if I should go Eternal youth or Zealot's oath or what.
Would you mind sharing your tree?

CI will not work with Demon Form.
I have updated my guide here with the current tree I am using as well as some basic outlining of the mechanics and skills I am using.

Cannabilism doesn't restore your es though so isnt it quite useless? Guess it can be a last resort ? But your life is probably 600 maybe 800?

Correct its just used as emergency HP boost in case mobs hit you with poison. I will update the guide to indicate that the only reason I am even using it is because I just happened to have extra spirit on my amulet. If you have the baseline 100 spirit you would not have enough to use it.

Idk guys i'm having a blast with my blood mage. Ed/contagion seems to work just fine, at least when you get spaghettis nodes. With a shield i feel tanky, dps is not too bad. Im in cruel right now, still feels rly good.

I'm on lvl 45 now and struggle to use a scepter or a good chaos damage wand. I don't want to use scepters as their only use is to provide spirit so I can use some tank minions. Without minions the gameplay gets quite annoying as everything charges directly at you. How are you others dealing with that? Are you using scepter + minions? Do you even take minion notes?

hi there,
any idea on whats the best ascendancy for this build?
Chronomancer seems interesting, as well as Infernal with demon form but idk about demon form scaling tho ?
Bloodmage seems like a bait (I might be wrong) its my first character on the league and its really overall a bait ascendancy for me.
Acolyte of Chayula seems like the ultimate bait and I will not be surprised if this ascendancy get huge buffs in the future.
I need help before rerolling !

any chance you can share a screenshot of your passive tree?
Mine?
Ingame tree does not fit to the screen for a nice screenshot, this one is from mobalitics, what I'm working towards.
Ingame tree is similar, but not all of the curse nodes are taken yet (I de-prioritized those, which give no/low curse efficency).
Note: if I didn't have mana recoup on gear, I would pass through the left branch to the mana recoup node. Don't want damage taken to mana % be higher than mana recoup, mana is a problem without it.
Curious how your setup with Chronomancer is playing after a couple more days. I rerolled but still only around 25 so a ways to go.
