Really cool build, ended up tweaking it a for a slightly different play style.
I blew tons of jewelers getting 3 blue 2 green on Death's Oath and got a Delirium dagger with a nice crafted roll on it.
Hardest thing was finding a way to sustain the degen from Death's Oath and after seeing the Trickster ascendancy that gives 70% increased regen on kill I realized using Stone Golem would be amazing. I'm trying to get all my rare items on armor bases because at a certain point I believe it has the most synergy with MoM (assuming you have 31% of your life in mana and enough regen). Switched out CwDT Immortal Call with Tempest Shield which has some nice synergy with Rathpith by adding spell block. Also switched out the mana gems for all SP, SP w/ shield, chaos dmg, and DoT gems.
Contagion/ED -> ED/Contagion (depending on distance) -> Shield Charge though mob packs to apply dagger poison and just keep moving, everything dies. Seems to have really sped up the build's clear speed and the Stone Golem combined with the ascendancy plus the leech from ED and Death Oath let you be incredibly careless without much risk. Sidenote: For those that don't know (I didn't) Essence Drain also applies the poison on your dagger to whatever it hits.

If I wanted to pick up the 'Whispers of Doom' curse node, what would be the nodes to respec from and best path? Im thinking of just going up from 'Cruel Preperation' via the int nodes. Also, would the 'Corruption' node be worth picking up since it's right up there too? I am playing in SC so just wondering if it would be worth sacrificing some mana/life for this?
I've been using 2 lifesprigs for the leveling process.
Once I get Walk the Aether, should I be using Lightning Warp or Flame Dash as my movement skill? Or should I abandon the Lifesprigs and swap to daggers for Shield Charge?
What are people using to get the 2nd curse to use Witchfire?
You can try with this: https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Doedre%27s_Damning
or just sacrifice something else on the tree to get Whispers of Doom nodes.
By the way, I wonder if do I really need so high unreserved MP pool or can I sacrifice some amount which would let me use Arctic Armour or something else?
Would heartbreaker be a good weapon choice until i could equip botc? Would culling strike even work with ed/contagion? I would also like to know why you take extra frenzy charge so soon on your skill tree?
This is with regular 6L shav, with flasks and Arcane surge up. Efficacy still lvl 11/20q, I'll update the screenshot when I take it to lvl 20. Ascendant combat buffs take this value a bit up.
Even using a perfect Cherrubim's while going life based cuts DPS by about 16%. If you go for godly jewels the difference is less than 16% of course, but at that point you are looking at insanely expensive 4mod jewels which don't make any sense against going lowlife.
I want to underline the blight gloves thing. A lot of people are convinced that the hinder debuff coming from blight is always on the target when channelling blight itself, which isn't the case at all. It has a duration which isn't refreshed while channelling. So the effect of the 2 spreading rot jewels in fights which don't last a few seconds is totally negligible. And the damage of Blight itself is negligible until you get a certain amount of stacks, which does not happen if you don't stand still and channel continuously, because to reach max blight stacks you need about 4 seconds of channelling or a bit less depending on your total cast speed, and you have to move a lot in guardian / Shaper / Atziri fights to avoid easy deaths. And you still have to keep Arcane surge, Wither totem and ED debuff up while facing boss mechanics to do full DPS.
I don't personally like the blight gloves at all because they completely change the playstyle of a super safe and mobility-friendly skill like ED forcing a quasi melee interaction with bosses to stay and channel. They also have poor ES when compared to good fingerless silk or sorcerer bases, and no resists. And they use 4 sockets for a Blight setup which are needed for other utility skills / auras / vaal discipline / whatever.
It's a matter of personal preference, that's all. :)
I Killed Uber yesterday
I see now that Pure ED makes a lot of sense :D
Killed also Shaper 2 times (both times 1 death because i like to type while in combat). On Shaper it's actually great to have blight for ads, it's convenient for laziness :)
I represent only myself, my own thought and believes. I am individual, not a representative of the community.
I am not speaking on behalf of someone else and I don't get offended by things that have nothing to do with me.

Hey could you explain why you chose cherubims and unshattered over cloak and rathpith?
