Hi guys,

Just taking a look at EK, it's damage effectiveness got buffed 80% in addition to 50% base spell damage, so I was thinking of making a build to scale it with battlemage. Inquisitor may be the way to go (you could even use rebuke of the vaal), but I like Disentigrator and then going either inquis, necro or full cold conversion Occultist.

​

I eventually settled on Occultist for slightly more ehp since pious path doesn't do much for the build because I'm running devouring diadem with MoM and Wicked Ward to keep up my HP and counter the Disentigrator degen. Here is my build plan atm.

A few gear pieces are more endgame (need lvl 4 enlighten to fit in hatred, zealotry, and determination but I'm only running zealotry to get access to arcane surge on a watcher's eye). I'm at a lvl 99 tree atm and am wondering if anyone is planning something similar to give me some new ideas and hopefully help cut down on points a bit. The defenses should be ok with spell leech, infinite ES recharge, and life recoup to help counter the staff degen, and 50% attack block should help as well against normal mob hits.

​

Let me know your guys' theories -- still thinking maybe I should switch back to inquis for some reason.
