PoE Herald of Agony, Occultist builds

The idea is simple: Ethereal Knives with Return Projectiles and Sadism Support and Returning Proj Support for clear Blade Blast on a trigger weapon with Sacrifice Support to help with single target In theory this should feel great to clear with as you get Occu explosions and the fake-hit build feel with the fast poisons from EK while keeping long poisons on Blade Blast to still have some consistency/room to dodge mechanics. No idea about damage but it sounds cool enough for me to take it for a spin, what are your thoughts?

PoB : poe.ninja (may not be updated yet) : ---------- Hello, I've been planning to make this character for the past few months, and I'm glad that it only took me around 10 days on a fresh league to complete it to a reasonnable level.   It's an Occultist built around Dark Pact, which is a skill that can reach insanely high base damage on high life Skeletons. In my current setup, my Skeletons have slightly more than 35k life, bringing Dark Pact's base DPS to 7k, or rather 21k since it chains t

This league was by far my most successful. I started out as poison seismic sabo and had a great time. The dps was lackluster for endgame so instead of dumping loads of currency I built a CoC Ice Spear Occultist. That character deleted bosses, especially Lycia; the downside was how squishy it was. I had trouble doing invitations and if I wasn't on point with my timing certain pinnacles would make me use a portal. Not the end of the world, but I HATE dying. So I farmed a ton with a(n) RF jugg (made maps so trivial and since you never die you just zip through everything). That got old and I misse

Hi i have two good working builds at the moment: Poison Spark: \--> mainly mapping, but i think bossing would work...(?) Poison Seismic Trap: &x200B; (Note, that i share some Gems and the Ashes Amulet -->so i can not change the annoinment) &x200B; What i want: To kill uber eater (and train other Uber Bosses) easily. Problem: Staying alive: My Trappers Damage is fine, but i die a lot in rare uber invitations. &x200B; \--> MY Question:

I commented in a thread about my CI Poison Spark build the other day, and there seemed to be some interest about my approach to what is quite a popular build this league, so I thought I'd make a post. My philosophy is that I want to hit the DOT cap, with good Wither uptime, and after that I focus on hit damage and defenses, namely in the amount of a high ES pool. At 10.31 casts per second (11.27 with Smite active), the build is extremely mobile and generally hits the DOT cap in 2-3 seconds, depending on the arena. I eschew Awakened Deadly Ailments and Awakened Unbound Ailments in favor of A
