Path of Exile 3.6 Occultist Essence Drain Three Hot Popular Build Guide (Mar 21,2019)

-
Essence Drain is a spell that fires a chaos projectile that applies a damage over time debuff when it hits the enemy. The spell also regenerates a portion of the debuff damage as life. If the target dies while afflicted with both Contagion and Essence Drain, the remaining duration of both degeneration effects will be spread to nearby enemies.



In Path of Exile 3.6 Synthesis, Essence Drain Update has Mana Cost at gem level 1 is now 8 (was 9). Mana Cost at gem level 20 is now 23 (was 27). Now has a cast time of 0.7 seconds (from 0.75). Now explodes on impact, applying the Essence Drain debuff to enemies in a small radius. This explosion deals with no hit damage. As a result of this change, the Essence Drain now has the Area gem type. Now deals 9 to 14 Chaos damage at gem level 1 (from 6 to 9) and 433 to 649 Chaos damage at gem level 20 (from 334 to 501). Now deals 31.3 base Chaos damage per second at gem level 1 (from 21.3) and 1503.2 base Chaos damage per second at gem level 20 (from 1159).


PoE 3.6 Occultist: The "Ultimate" Soulrend/Essence Drain Build

Essence Drain Occultist / Trickster is a well known, solid league starter with countless guides existing! Let's take a DEEPER look into the current state of ED and also find out how well new Synthesis gear and skills like Soulrend / Malevolence / Bane will work together!

We will be using these skills in 3.6 to league start as well as deeper explore different combinations with a well-know Essence Drain + Contagion combo (as Soulrend and ED stacks and count as different sources of DoT).
Over last months I've been checking various sources on current Essence Drain situation as well as tried to squeeze max damage out of it. In this guide, you will (hopefully) find the most comprehensive and detailed information on different ED setups!

Pros & Cons:
+ extremely safe (2-3x defensive Curses, 12K+ ES)
+ easy to league start (can run on Uniques with good sustain)
+ requires only 1 6-Link for end-game
+ all mods, even no mana regen is possible
+ no need for Wither totem (when you get Withering Presence ascendancy passive)
- with ED+Contagion you constantly need to cast 2 skills. If you want to spam just 1 and zoom-zoom, this build might not be for you :)
- Not a fast mapper
- End-Game bossing takes a while
- Not super newbie friendly as you need some knowledge on playing life/hybrid builds and then transition to CI and eventually to Low-Life.

Ascendancy: 
Wicked Ward, Vile Bastion, Void Beacon, Withering Presence.

Bandits: Kill All

Pantheon:
Major: Arakaali / Lunaris
Minor: Gruthkul / Shakari

Path of Exile 3.6 Most Popular Bladefall Build Guide

-
Image
Bladefall is a ranged spell which has a unique area of effect mechanics. Unlike other aoe skills, bf's single target damage suffers from increased aoe and benefits from less aoe because a single cast creates 5 volleys and a single target will be hit by more volleys when each of the volleys covers less area. Of course, this depends on the size of the target. The bosses tend to be big, and we can assume that they are hit by more than a single volley. This mechanic is beneficial for us as we can skip all the increased aoe passives in the tree and concentrated effect gem empowers the spell more than usual. In Path of Exile 3.6 Synthesis, Bladefall has been modified, Mana Cost at gem level 1 is now 12 (was 13). Mana Cost at gem level 20 is now 23 (was 26). Now deals 44 to 66 Physical damage at gem level 1 (from 44 to 65) and 411 to 617 Physical damage at gem level 20 (from 380 to 570).
