For example, we already know that Essence Drain is stronger in version 0.2.0 than it was in 0.1.0:

And good thing is that +1 to Chaos level is on Witch side, which is awesome.

Did it get removed? Or am I just blind?

Between lightning damage nodes and energy shield / intelligence nodes.

Hi, I have been looking at your builds for quite some time now and it looks awesome.

The ideer of Lich and essence drain looks quite solid.
Will you have a build planner out before season starts?

yes for sure

I am very excited for this. I loved occultist in PoE 1 and the idea of just walking around and seeing things melt into purple goop is just what I need.

Is there a build for 0.2? Cant find any lol

Well Lich Act 1 done. Pretty easy going as pure Chaos once you get Essence Drain. Dropped all minions, no need. Seems pretty strong so far. Easily destroyed the Act 1 wolf boss.

will be same as showcase but lich also wait update soon

Going to leaguestart ED again, and as everybody I'm looking at lih ascendancy (25 and 30% more damage nodes are too juicy to ignore). However, I'm having slight concerns about defenses.

Has anybody tried Soulless Form already?
In particular, I'm interested the following interactions:

1. MOM - do we still lose mana if hit while we have ES (I assume yes)?
2. Eternal youth or ES recoup: in this case we always have ES. I assume that if it is depleted in one hit damage is taken on life? And no way to regen life in this case?
3. Event Horizon life loss. Is it ignored while we have ES?
4. How does it interact with Heavy Buffer and uniques like Aziri's helmet? Reading the description looks like bypassed damage is just ignored, but it sounds too good to be true as we would be able to stack about 50% global damage reduction this way.
5. Is damage taken still registesed (ex. for recoup or ailment calculation) even if life is not changed?

Overall, how annoying is life recovery with SF (I don't see any reasonable way other than instant lifeflask each time life is dropping down)?

Will test it myself, but I'll be away from home today, so will be starting tomorrow, would really appreciate if somebody already has answers to these questions.
