PoE Withering Presence builds

That fact that ball lightning hits every 150ms has always made me think it would be an interesting applicator for poison, but given lightning damage didn't really have any good way to do that I forgot about it.... Until I saw the new Voltaic Rift. I was just fooling around in POB and with literally no gear whatsoever (5 empty gear slots right now with no cluster or jewels/flasks) it's looking very easy to break 1M dps with the rift and a few historically reasonably priced uniques. Also, given you're going to that side of the tree anyway I think getting suppress capped is going to be pretty ea

Let me preface this with two things. 1. This is an update to the build I posted 2 days ago. Although now I feel it is not just decent, but actually good. 2. I believe this build will have slightly better numbers in 3.20 since we are getting some pretty big buffs to curses but we are also losing base effects of curses, hexblast just has worse numbers for self cast and occultist is getting some minor nerfs.

With better gear like a cane of kulemak and actually decent rares I feel like the build can be go

With the new Voltaxic Rift 100% lightning -> chaos conversion, occultist becomes interesting. This means profane bloom could help solve some of the mapping issues for me. I have never made a build however, most of the times I just follow someone elses guide and change it a bit. I thought maybe
