Hello - I have an occultist bane, lvl 75 doing t5 maps. And I die. A Lot. I followed whats-his-face's build, the content creator on youtube. Apart from getting more life, wtf do I do to NOT DIE?

Here's a POB: https://pastebin.com/JsNTr3aP

I don't have any advice, but I'm doing early maps with my Necromancer, and I am also dying...A LOT! I almost don't want to activate the Blood Crucible at all. I'm pretty noob with all of this, having only played one other league in the past. But man do I wish I had gone for something a lot tankier.

1. Learn to use defensive Flask
2. Temp Chain + blasphemy Aura
3. use Grace and get recoup nodes.

bane build typically uses temp chains as one of its curses, so nn blasphemy.


But basically what allience said

dont get hit

I'm running bane occu this league and im loving it. not a tanky build but use high evade chance / spell suppression.
Running 60% delirous maps with using the scourge mechanic and it feels fine tbh.

looked at your POB and i would recommend picking up ghost dance.

what are your masteries?

Do you mind sharing your POB.

I’m low key struggling with the same issues as TS. I run LL, 5k es with shavs, get one shot once I shift to nightmare

cast forbidden rite ones per 4sec
Then your es-recharge is already happening at full hitpoint with Wicked ward when go facetank monsters
get hit, loose 49%hp, and heal it up again within 0.2sec (instead of 2.2sec)

57from66% faster start of recharge (my life recharge instead of my es)
Combined with 10%extra MoM
and it even have tiny es/evasion, recoup mana on kill

almost armour instead of evasion to reach perfection
a solid 6.66/10 for 3choas

Only 5k ES? :wacko:

That could be your issue lel.

I’ll pm you my POB whenever I get home.

My roommate ran TS occultist and he is having same issues with survivability because you have to invest so many points into your bow / poison nodes and your uniques for the build restrict your Evasion bases.

Your resistances capped and everything?

I’ve got everything capped including chaos.

When I pop flasks I have 75% evade chance

I'm currently having trouble with red maps, shit just blows me away hard in nightmare especially if i juice the map.

I'm working on getting better gloves/rings/boots /cluster jewel and fixing my 6l for essence drain for bosses.

But idk, it doesn't sound like a very OP build. I mean stuff dies, but I feel like a glass cannon.
