↖ Build Mechanics
- The Core: Our build revolves around Impending Doom linked to a curse skill. We're turning curses into explosive parties!
- Early Strategy: Initially, use Cursed Ground Support for quick curse expiration and delightful explosions.
- Vixen's Entrapment: This beauty replaces Cursed Ground Support, giving us more damage options and automated curse casting.
- Spell Cascade: Link it for wider coverage and more booms.
- Cool Trick: Overlap curses right behind your target for optimal explosions.
- Cooldown Recovery Rate: This will play a big role in late-game min-maxing.
↖ Defense
- 100% Ailment Avoidance: Achieved through smart itemization and the Storm Shroud Jewel.
- Spell Suppression: Halves incoming damage, making it a key defensive layer.
- Armor & Evasion: Boosted by Skin of the Lords, granite, and jade flasks, and the aura Determination.
- Molten Shell: Absorbs damage when triggered.
↖ Early Game Progression
- Level up Impending Doom Gems: Put six in your offhand and corrupt them at level 20 for that juicy damage increase.
- Hex-on-Hit Ring: Grab a Mark of Submission for automated curse casting.
- Tabula Rasa: A budget-friendly option to get you into red Maps.
- Syndicate Unveils: Essential for crafting key gear modifiers.
- Leopard's Arms Shield: Offers evasion, energy shield, and shared suffering mechanics.
↖ Mid to Late Game Gearing
- Six-Link Rare and Flask Setup: Essential for progression.
- Rings and Belt: Look for Death Rush and belts with cooldown recovery or ES regen.
- Eternal Struggle Amulet: Aim for Searing Exarch dominance for key modifiers.
- Rare Gear with Elders Implicits: Helmet and boots can provide significant boosts.
↖ Pantheon & Bandits
- Early Pantheon: Go for Soul of Brine King for freeze and stun immunity.
- Bandit Choice: Kill all for those extra passive points.
- Anointing Amulets: Start with Toxic Strikes and later switch to Skittering Runes.
↖ Links and PoB
- Main Skill Setup: Temporal Chains, Impending Doom, and Unbound Ailments for starters.
- Aura Setup: Determination, Grace, and Herald of Agony linked for maximum effectiveness.
- Active Skills: Vol Haste, Plague Bearer, Shield Charge, Flame Dash, and Molten Shell.
- Curse Setup: Once you have Vixen's Entrapment, reorganize your curses for optimal effect.
↖ Occultist vs. Pathfinder
- Why Occultist?: Profane Bloom's explosion effect is a game-changer for clear speed.
- Pathfinder's Merit: Offers regeneration and wither application, but Occultist wins with its unique blend of chaos resistance shred and stun immunity.
