With a lot of content creators showing off their insane progress, it felt a bit weird that i was proud that i made it to maps on the first weekend, so i kinda got inspired by that to share and document my experience
​
A bit about myself
I have played about 500 hours total in PoE, very sprinkled out over years and Leagues. I have about 2-3 hours of time to play on Weekdays, on Weekends it varies heavily (got lucky on launch wekkend woo), to me it seems a lot of time for someone who is working fulltime and wants to have a healthy balance in life, but in PoE terms it seems very little :)

My plan was to make a Bane Occultist, before reaching Act 3 and my Ascension i used mostly Freezing Pulse and Flamewall since i hate Blight. After getting the +1 Curse on the Skilltree and Profane Bloon everything was smooth sailing through the campaign (Except getting shit on in the Scourge realm).
​
My Build at the moment
im still a Bane Occultist: https://pastebin.com/iFSCJsj0
- Enduring Cry / Stormshield are purely for defensive purpose and i didnt know what else to take
- Lucked a 6 link and put bane in, because its nicer for maps then ED / Contagion, couldnt manasustain so lifetap is my boy
- Dont have enough reservation to actiave all 4 auras, i turn off malevolence or arctic armour depending on situation until i get freeze immunity somewhere
​
Short term goals
- +1 Chaos Wand: Im breeding some ED in second weapon slots to turn them into 20 quality and to the Vendor recipe where you turn in a white Wand with 40% quality Chaos gems and you get a +1 blue Chaos Wand, then Augment, Regal and pray its not shit. Im also banking some wands with 38% or higher Spell dmg
- Boots: Nothing to say about my Boots except i need new ones

Thats it, im not looking for Help on my Build (Yet), just thought maybe its interesting to read someones experience whos not on red maps day 2
Thanks for coming to my TED Talk
