LittleGamingTips's Notes

Welcome to my new build guide, this time for Occultist Low Life Essence Drain Bane Build. This build is based on my Trickster Essence Drain build from Legion League. The reason I switched from Trickster to Occultist is because of Profane Bloom, Void Beacon, and Withering Presence. With Profane Bloom Cursed Enemies you or your Minions Kill have a 25% chance to Explode, dealing a quarter of their maximum Life as Chaos Damage and Your Curses can apply to Hexproof Enemies, which is great for mapping. With Void Beacon Nearby Enemies have -20% to Chaos Resistance and Nearby Enemies have a 100% reduced Life Regeneration rate. This is a huge damage buff. And finally, with Withering Presence we have +20% to Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier, +60% to Chaos Resistance, Every second, inflict Withered on nearby Enemies for 15 seconds, Nearby Hindered Enemies deal 15% reduced Damage over Time. This will give us nice damage buff, a huge bonus to chaos resistance and also, Awakener fight will be a bit easier with 15% reduced Damage over Time. Also, worth mentioning, with Occultist, you don't need to use the Presence of Chayula unique amulet and if you wish you can use rare crafted amulet for high damage increase.

This build is extremely easy to play. You can clear the whole map by using just Bane. At the end of the map, you can easily and safely defeat even the most dangerous Metamorphs. After you place wither totems, you need to cast one bane and one essence drain and then move to a safe distance. After Metamorph adds spawn, you just need to cast contagion and essence drain on these ads. This will spread the essence drain on the boss and this way you can damage and defeat metamorph while staying far away. When dealing with bosses, the use of wither totems is really important. This way you can apply 15 stacks of the debuff in just a few seconds. Each stack of debuff applies a 6% increased chaos damage taken on the affected target, stacking up to 15 times. This means, your Essence Drain and Bane will do up to 90% more damage. Wither spell also applies the Hinder debuff, which lowers their movement speed. Because of Occultist Withering Presence - Nearby Hindered Enemies deal 15% reduced Damage over Time.

This build will most likely be my starter build for 3.10.

Pros:

  • Easy Playstyle
  • Can do all content
  • Very effective on a budget
  • Runs all map mods
  • Can farm all maps, Conquerors and Sirius on awakening level 8

  • Cant face tank
  • 6L Shavronne's Wrappings is expensive at the start of the league
  • Not the best build for farming low depth Delve and not a deep-delving build
