you really need to fix your guide man. New people coming into the game are trying your build, and are getting your ED/Contagion build and ED/Bane builds mixed up. the build is great, but your guide is horrible. you should make a separate guide for Bane/contagion. as they are two completely different builds.

u not right and if u see the showcase u'll understnd here give u give u 2 setup of build and u play what u want after u see the showcase .... and this first time i see what say like u say ;) so i guss u just don't do like i say in guild that all

There are 2 different setups mentioned in PoB links - one is ED bane other is ED contagion. There's no confusing stuff here. The mechanics is pretty much the same if you know what each gem does, like what Bane does and what Contagion does, it's pretty easy. The PoB already shows how to set up gems if you play Contagion or Bane. I was also new and never found this confusing, right off the bat I knew if I want to play which skill which PoB I should look - and putting setups in PoB section is a good move by OP, as people look right into it.

Able to get the queen to lv 94 today, very satisfying :D
My gear:


9k ES, around 800k Shaper DoT for ED (without lv 21 ED), good damage all around and clear speed is very smooth, especially breaches and abysses.

Any tips on how to survive while delving in a 2 man group?
Using ED and Contagion.

We go down there, kill the mobs. Then some survive and have me dead before I even know what's going on. Is there a possibility to get healing from Bane or something?

i ca't see ur char or ur tree to see what u did

I do 2-man delve, got to depth ~500 and overall survivability is solid (still a few deaths here and there but not very often, often due to rippy mods). Survived chambers down there such as abyss, vaal outpost, and a boss (Aul) at ~depth 350. The trick, as said in the guide, is to somehow slot Enduring Cry in, and press it once in a while to gain 3 endurance charges. Flask uptime has to be maximized (quartz flask is very important, because we don't have Phase Run). During chambers you'll have to move all the time, don't stand still, and you have to use ED a lot. So, to survive high depths, you not only need enough ES to survive (I still want to get more as 9K ES doesn't seem enough sometimes, and our recharge is worse this patch thanks to Wicked Ward nerf) , but also need solid damage to not let things alive for too long. You pretty much have to rely on ED to regen ES and a Sulphur flask (or if your ally also has Discipline or Vitality to help with more ES regen), so use ED more often.

Some things to note in Delve:
- Falling Ice Thorns: These leave some blue indicator on the ground around where you are before spawning on the ground, stabbing you from below. You have enough time to get away from them, as a hit from them does hurt a lot in rippy mods, and can chill/freeze you if it crits.

- Abyss Chambers: Change your Minor God pantheon to Ralakesh. This way nothing can maim you, and kill you in the dark while you're trying to get to a lighter spot. Abyss spinners and the slam-dunk bats are the main offenders. You will not be able to dodge them 100% of the time, so that's why having mitigation up is very important. Basalt flask, enduring cry are great because these deal physical dmg to you. Calmly Contagion a group and ED them, your ES will get back to full. And don't forget Vaal Discipline!

- Vaal Outpost Chambers: Watch for the rare humanoid monsters that weild a two-handed sword and normally walk pretty slowly. However, these will rush to you very fast once they see you (kinda like flicker strike) and can deal deadly damage if you don't notice. Same with the architect look-alike (more like ghosts/shadows) that leaves a trail of ice to chill you when they perform something like a teleport move to your spot.

-Azurite/other normal delve nodes: Usually when you activate an encounter, it's better to not stand in the middle of the screen to attract more monsters to you. It can be better to stand from a corner and Contagion spreads the whole screen while your partner clears them as well or if he can facetank a bit (remember Contagion spreads to nearby mobs even if they are killed by your allies like players). There you can take your time to get yourself an Enduring Cry for 10 second buff 3 endurance charges, press all flasks, and repeat ED + Contagion until it's over.

And no, Bane applies curses, and it does not give any healing potential to you. And without Bane, your setup should use Blasphemy + Enfeeble + Temp chain + Despair in replacement, as nearby mobs should be cursed in the same way you have Bane linked to these 3 curses (except that with Blasphemy + 3 curses you won't have to do anything to achieve what the Bane player has to do).
