Little less dmg and jump distance, still should be plenty viable with all other reworks lol

Also for everyone looking at EK, would you only be going shadow? I wanna go with the occultist meta, but also wanna go EK, haven’t fucked around with PoE in a while so dunno if really viable to do both


ill probably go occultist as well, but duno which nodes to take yet :(

EB actually good now. No1 sees it


Eb+Mom with devouring diadem+occultist energy shield recharge cannot be interrupted by damage means you will have infinite "mana" and mind over matter sustain :huh:

Lets talk about new ED, what do you guys think?

Originally I was thinking starting ed/cont for quick questing and super quick white and yellow maps with no gear. The buffs sem okay not amazing then I might try out one of the new chaos skills for higher tiers. I'm starting to change my mind due to how competitive the chaos gear will be so I might start elementalist with fp or really anything but arc



ED was already decent for a starter and its gonna be a lot better now

I started last league with Life+mom occultist with ED+deaths oath and it felt pretty good.

1. You get super easy max chaos resistance with occultist chaos nodes which means that you won't even notice the damage from deaths oath (mom also mitigates it)
2. I got a perf rolled cane of unravelling for like 2 chaos on the second day and it's pretty much BIS unless you want to use multiple ex on a +3 multi mod staff
3. Betrayal had some crazy chaos damage and I had no clue why people were dying to Tora and it that fled because the build needs max chaos res anyway

Death's oath also got a 25% more damage buff and we have 2x new chaos dot skills to try if you wanna switch off ED for a bit. Not to mention all the curse stuff which is perfect for occultist

e/ works perfectly as a trickster as well if you wanna skip Deaths Oath or try out some Evasions/ES shenanigans

I get what u mean but you playing occu why waste your helm slot for any of that shit, just seems hipster asf tbh. When occu already gives a similar effect when going pure Es. Kinda seems like a meme tbh.

I just want to reserve all my mana and use Es to cast skill and Es leech lets you do that w/o any investment.

pathfinder EK works nicely as well, but inquisitor gives you "infinite damage" against bosses and rares with high resistances... also inquisitor has insane attack speed for shield charge/WB

what ascendancy would you go with shadow? none of them offer anything amazing compared to inquisitor

it's a pretty decent helm tbh, 20% reduced mana reserved lets you use a bunch of auras, +1 level of gems for those auras and you save a lot of points since you dont actually have to travel to EB.

but you are right though, occu+devouring diadem was kinda just a meme mechanic I came up with, nothing serious :D
However it could actually be somewhat useful for dot builds since you can't leech on those

e/ Also except for the first 1 or 2 characters of the league which I use to progress atlas and farm some currency, I usually just play total hipster/meme builds and see if I can take on end game with them. It's fun and I enjoy theory crafting

With the ele pen crafts on weapons and helmets and jewels, inquisitor isn’t needed anymore tbh.
