POE 2 ✧ Lahkesis Queen of Chaos ✧ "Essence Drain " Guide v0.05 so close (added some shorts)

Guys, is Profane rituales stack from multiple corpse? So with buff sucrafise we can add this skill maybe.
Right now im currently blood but not grabbing the sanguimancy nodeuntil i get more ascendancy points to get the life leech. You guys suffering with sanguimancy need to remove that node until you get better nodes to recoup that cost
I have been lurking in this thread for quite some time, I am really interested in playing a Chaos Blood Mage. I am nowhere near an experienced builder, nor have previous POE experience, so here's what I came up, based on mostly of the things I have read here. Any tips are appreciated and desired! I am worried if blood mage's spell leech will be able to sustain Event Horizon's life cost.

why go bloodmage at all with this? I think solving Event Horizon's cost is hard enough even without it and is more then likely an end-game goal; None of the other points in blood mage seem to help the build. Just go chronomancer to improve your recoup which you seem to want to invest it. Other then that the passives look fine.

that said, I dont really know how the 10% leech works with ED, maybe someone else can give you their experience but it doesn't really look worth it to me.

Im wondering how the 10% spell leech works also. Im bloodmage too and I chose that because it was the only good option as a witch. The indefinite curses also makes it seem like I can free up passives getting curse duration nodes. Spell crit does seem to be a thing with ED also and I do see nodes that add projectiles to crits. Maybe aoe ED?
so, i progressed almost to the end of 3rd act and i noticed that dps from essence drain drops dramatically. i switched to the hexb;ast amd now it feels very good. only one issue that i have is mana issue because it's not enough :(

Any tests/confirmations that crit works for the dot part? It'd be great if it does as scaling dps in higher maps is really hard, basically all we have is gem level for ED/despair and additive spell damage (and gem level starts to feel clunky at really high levels due to absurd mana cost scaling).

been cruising as a blood mage ED hexblast. Focused on buying +level skill gear (+6 from main hand/off hand, +2 from amulet, +1 from chaos mastery)

Doedre's tenure + cast speed on rings/shield/amulet
Cloak of flame seems to be doing great


Despair linked with impending doom + decaying hex makes everything blow up. I clear as fast as I run including rares at this level, it feels very nice.

Can you share your passive tree? I am curious on what you're using from the blood mage tree.

How is your mana doing? I'm really struggling to sustain 20+ despair on bosses even without blasting.
