PoE Occultist builds

6 power charges, 6 curses, 99% reduced impending doom curse duration The impending doom rework this league is extremely fun, but most variants of the build are using curse-overwriting with Vixen's Entrapment and Cursed Ground / Spell Cascade for application. Impending doom is supposed to be triggered on curse expiration, but it also works on curse overwrite. This feels... unintended to me so I wanted to make an "ethical" version of the build.

I've got a couple questions on where to go from here: I'm seeing a lot of use of Steady Torment. I'm sure I'm missing something super obvious. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out where bleeding is being applied from. Big differences in gear I'm seeing are Grand Spectrum jewels & weapon. Even adding
