POE 3.19 - Outline for Soulrend Occultist - Untested, has potential - Path of Exile Lake Of Kalandra

#POE #pathofexile #kalandra

If you are looking for a proven meta build, this isn't it. If you are looking for something different... keep on watching

One of the two builds I'm thinking of playing is an Occultist, taking advantage of the buffs to Soulrend. Soulrend hasn't been good in a while, so not much research has been done on it, and I expect that this will be able to be improved considerably once we have some experience playing it at the new endgame (and can adapt for Lake of Kalandra content)

Early endgame build outline (in terrible gear, requires Path of Building Community Fork updated to the current version): https://pastebin.com/9Fn2qjri

All gameplay footage shown is in complete rubbish gear.

For more information on potential upgrades, I recommend looking into Subtractem's Bane Occultist, as the builds would share a lot of possible upgrades and his build is less experimental than this. His 3.19 update is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_-kfy0AHEE - even if you stick with Soulrend, there's some great tips in there.

Anoint: Either of the 25% duration nodes.

Alternate tree: Anoint Corruption, cut off all of the tree left of Cruel Preparation, take more points in the Shadow area.

Ascendancy order: Malediction last. Others in your choice of order (if in doubt, Profane Bloom as 3rd)

Tree order: Push to Wasting, then Atrophy, then Whispers of Doom, then fill out

Levelling: DO NOT level with chaos skills in act 1. Just use a meta levelling setup for early acts (1-3). From level 28 onward you can use the endgame setup.

Flex slots: I suggest Steelskin and a moveskill (Flame Dash - Faster Casting). Optionally low level Arcane Surge on the moveskill (even though you have that on the main skill)

Bandits: Kill all. OPTIONAL: Help Alira, respec later

Endgame upgrades, Cluster jewels: To be determined later. If in doubt, check out Subtractem's Bane guide & adapt it.

DO NOT use Cruelty Support, it's a trap.
