PoE Essence Drain, Chaos builds

Both Bane and Cold DoT Occultists greatly benefit from the new Vaal Caress Gloves, as they run 4L Vaal gems. Bane === For Bane, Vaal Blight receives hefty buffs from running Vaal Caress: Let's say you get these at level 32 (very unlikely), you have Vaal Blight Level 10, Void Manip Level 8, Efficacy Level 8 and Swift Affliction Level 1. You're a Witch with a standard Bane tree (Atrophy, Whispers of Doom, Melding and Arcane Expanse).

Hi I've been quickly theory crafting this build for the past 2 hours and I would like some help in min-maxing it!
