[3.13] ESSENCE DRAIN / BANE / SOULREND Occultist / Trickster Build. STARTER & UBER Elder Carry!

ripped to game freezing syndicate in hc last night so i threw in the towel and started sc.

everything. melts.

this is going to be fun end game :) well written and informative guide, ty.

Just wanted to update on the Uber Elder experience.

This was my first ever uber elder kill, SUPER EASY, deathless. Just throw up dots and run around. My gear has tons of room for upgrades still and it already feels super smooth. Shaper absolutely melts and Uber is nice and safe.

How is the single target damage of this build? What skills does it rely on ? Bane + soulrend or do you swap in ed for bosses?

Sorry if this was asked already but how do you deal with Hexproof enemies?

I personally run bane on a 3l now and soulrend 6l with gmp for everything.

You just don't i guess

Single target is really strong for a damage over time build. I'm currently running 6L Soulrend/Bane with a 4L ED. That's how I did my Shaper/Uber elder. If you wanted to swap ED into your Soulrend 6L for higher single target that would be easy but IMO unnecessary.

Hexproof really doesn't matter at all for this build, I don't even take it into account. Bane still does its damage over time regardless of if it applies curses or not, so Hexproof is just a slightly higher resistance.

Hello, I am very interested in this build, (I started the HoA league and it's a Uber build but I do not realy like this HoA playstyle). I will probably go with shield options (I love shield charge), the guide is well written but I have some questions.

1. Can someone give a movie from 3.6 some map, do you have to use several skills constantly?

2. I understand that it is now can be playing mainly at Soulrend? The ED mechanics are a bit clunky for me.

3. I have seen several posts before that Uber Elder is good, and how does build deal with Delve and the Uber lab farm?

4. Why you do not use Decay anywhere (extra chaos damage over time), unless I missed something.

Thanks and best regards (I'm at work when I come back and sleep, I think I'm buying a tabula and make this! ).

EDIT: Ahh the last one, why Shavronne's and LL only for using 2x curse as aura? Shavronne's have a bit low base ES. Impresence for free Despair ca be solid choince here.

Hello, i am currently running the Highest Defense setup, with a 2k armor shield and the cerberus limb, but i've done shaper twice now and i am actually struggling with boss damage, i've been thinking about subbing in Blight but i can't see anyone else using it. i have the required amount of currency to switch over to the bow build but i am scared i'll invest 9-10 ex in a good bow and end up worse than before, has anyone done uber elder? which of the 3 builds did u use? and which of the spells did u have linked?

I am curious, what is your tooltip dps in hideout for soulrend?

Mine shows 210k chaos degen on a 21/20 soulrend 6 link, same setup as you.
