A note while leveling with ED/Cont, I recently hit Dark effigy and on its own it can maintain 50% chaos dmg increase on all targets when slotted with withering touch. Using this until I can get Withering Presence :)

Does % increased Energy Shield from Equipped Focus that we take translates into Mana via Eldritch Battery? Also does % increased Spell Damage while on Full Energy Shield work on us considering Eldritch Battery? Also, since we are taking Eldritch Battery why are we taking so much % increased maximum Energy Shield? Conversion does not take into account % increases to stat A. Sorry if these questions are stupid, I don't have much experience with the game.

" Very nice call out! I hadn't utilize Dark Effigy really as I'm not a totem person. That sounds like a great addition to leveling while you get up to Hexblast! |
|
" These questions are absolutely not stupid. I do cover that in one of my build updates. We don't take any maximum energy shield nodes because they don't actually translate for us into mana, unfortunately. Even the nodes that just take into account your focus, do not work. I haven't tested to see if the Spell damage boost from being at max energy shield works however - probably not worth investing that many points into though. |

" Ah yeah, I see in Update #2. It's a real shame about focus, thank you for the answer! |

Have you tried running corpsewade? Might make this build stupid strong at clearing.

" Thanks for the suggestion! This guide is specifically just for getting to Maps and then having folks go crazy with their own spin on the build with Uniques, build variants, etc. I can totally see why this would be very good with this build though! |

I'm trying this out now in a variant with CI.
I might ditch Blasphemy and cast curses + contagion myself (or experiment with Hexbloom) so I could play more ranged. There could be mana issues then, but I have a lot of Mana Leech and will not level the curses up unless I feel comfortable with the mana cost. It would look like this: https://maxroll.gg/poe2/planner/emkf101a This is highly experimental ^^ I am tinkering around with this until daggers and/or the shadow class are out.

" Sounds very cool! I always struggled with using CI in SSF unless I invested a ton of time in my character. I can absolutely see this working though, as Mana is our Life pool and it should work out as long as you have enough. Very nice idea! |

  For this build to work, you need to have good items! I'm currently changing the build, so if anyone wants to buy it, I can sell the set for a few Divine Orbs. Text to me in game: drabo Last edited by drabo89#6635 on Dec 23, 2024, 9:48:43 AM
