GhazzyTV - Essence Drain & Contagion (or Bane/Soulrend) Trickster [SC/HC/Uber Elder/Shaper]
Going off what apolstra said, this build can easily easily do uber lab with no problem at all. I completed uber lab at 79 or 80 and it was about the same as merci lab. Just don't run in head first trying to facetank everything.
I did a Waterworks (T13) but it took a while and I died around 3 times. Of course I was level 80 when I did that and I was using 0% quality gems and a standard tabula. I can usually breeze through Springs (T11) really easily with almost no problem at all. I haven't quite ran into a mod that I couldn't handle. Atziri is definitely viable and very very very easy to do with this build even with missing some items. If you check out my character profile you can see the gear I'm currently using and have been using since level 70. I'm not sure if Uber Atziri is possible or not so if someone can chime in with that information, that would be awesome. Overall this build is really cheap, one of the easier but more fun builds I've played as well. Definitely recommend this build especially for farming maps. | |
Hey Ghazzy, I just wanted to know how you felt about the Whirling Blades nerf and how it affects this build?

" Hey, I'm glad you like it bro! :) Poison is kind of mjeh since the changed to how poison interacts with ED. This is also the reason why Consuming Dark is not a BiS dagger for the build, it's enouh you get 80%+ spell dmg on a rare wep to be better than the Consuming Dark one. Grace is insanely effective for this build hence why I don't bother the Blasphemy :) In party plays you have to get a 4L setup with Abyssal Cry, and even then you'll only be effective when Abyssal Cry is off CoolDown. :/, Solo play however, is insanely effecient. I'm personally not a big fan of pierce chance as the pierce support gem is more than enough for those situations imo. (We only use it due to the more dmg multiplier). Weave the Arcane can be switched if you bring in thrill killer or so to get mana on kill, but I personally prefer Weave the Arcane myself! Swift Killer enhances your clear speed insanely, I would personally take this rather early myself. Thank you very much for your feedback and Uber Lab report! " Glad you like it! :D Uber Atziri is not doable with this approach due to lack of that insane DMG you need to deliver to be able to minimize rip risks. However, Uber Izaro and regular Atziri are both ez mode with the build, and like you said, it is hilariously cheap! ;) " Whirling Blades is still the most reliable and fastest way to enhance your clear speed. :) Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Hey Ghazzy, what order would be best to start getting quality on gems?
|
|
" Contagion (can buy one with high quality as lvl of that gem doesn't matter, and its cheap). Same goes for Increased AoE. After those 2 it's just a matter of focus on your dmg, ED and all of its support gems pretty much. Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Hey Ghazzy, first of all, thx for great build. I was runing ED build in Perandus league, but droped it, now i play your version and im having so much fun! Im on 20k dps without frenzy charges with 18lv gems (just 20% on ED and cont) and im waiting for some nice drops so i can buy +1 tabula and lv 3 empower, i gues that with this two items my dps will skyrocket.
I wanted to ask you, whats your opinion on curse aura? Im not using clarity since very long time ago and instead of it i have Warlords Mark as aura, i like that Endurance charges gives me passive phys reduction + that extra ele resist is great on Ele Weak maps + i can benefit from a little longer Immortal Call. I read that many players r using Enfeeble but im not quite sure if its a good think ... yes, it gives me passive -30% damage taken but no endurance charges generation (my priority is to cast cont and ED rather then waste another second casting enduring cry). What do u think? | |
" Hey! Glad you like it bro! :D Enfeeble is amazing for defensive use, you already have a lot of physical damage mitigation via Grace (Iron Reflexes). Enfeeble would however help you vs more than just phys dmg. Guides: https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/ghazzy-guide-hub

Hey Ghazzy,
I fucking love this build ! Im not a guy who gets on a bunch of Chaos/Ex really fast but this build doesnt even need it :D Im playing without the Tabula and the Rathpith and going on ~ 19.000 Chaos dmg per sec. on Essence Drain,which seems insane for me as a noob :D I started the League with this build,its also amazing to just start from 0 it was never easier to level ! Also great defensives,Life work totally fine im at 5.5k at lvl ~81 now and never had a prob. so far in any Map ! Hope you continue with build like this ! Cheeeeers :) PoE & F1 is Life. <3

Are there any unique weapons i can use for leveling and uniques for endgame or do i only need a good spell damage knife?

" Haha, cheers bro! I've got plenty of builds coming up now that I have more time to focus on creating more builds. Check out the stream and type: !Build to get access to all builds available right now and also !Discord to join our community <3 " Lifesprigs helps for dmg when lvling, outside that just grab any rare dagger with spell dmg to use whirling blades asap. Consuming Dark used to be BiS but for the currency invested in Consuming Dark you can easily purchase a 80%+ spell dmg dagger which now days due to the poison interaction changes to ED will actually be better.
