[3.6] Soulrend / Bane trickster CI starter build.

This will be my second league playing the end game in POE. (I got to, but did not kill shaper last season.) I wanted a skill to play off curse's and deal dmg, and low and behold I got one with Bane this season. Not to mention the addition of soulrend and just the general buff to chaos/spell casting.

Was going back and forth on weather I should do occultist or trickster. And also to do a low life or CI version. After seeing the amount of curse's that I want to apply and the change with trickster having stun immunity, I decided to try CI trickster.

I am now trying to decide on if I want to link soulrend to blight with cast on channel. Would be able to use the spreading rot jewel. The trigger time for cast on channel is also about the same as the debuff time that soulrend applies.
Or if I want to just cast soulrend.

After doing a little bit of playing with the new spells I have landed on doing Soulrend in a 6-Link Shaper staff with the cast while channeling mod, using blight to trigger it. Will be used mostly for single target/boss's. If you are struggling to hit a very high amount of ES than going wand/shield is fine. This is where I am at until I can afford better gear.

My Chest will be for bane, and used for clearing out the maps.

Also found out that Bane actually does not count against the curse limit, so once I get a corrupted amulet the 3 points can be taken off of the tree for the extra curse.

As this will be my first build guide constructive criticism is welcome, would like to make this build fun and viable for the end game.

Wouldn't Bane cast every curse attached to it as well? Which would also increase their duration or something?

I recall reading/watching something similar to this somewhere, that Bane with 3 curses would be insanely good.

That will increase the duration of Bane, not the other curse's it applies. The duration of Bane is much shorter than the other's, but when applying an additional three curses should last close to the same amount of time. Plus all the duration nodes on the tree.

And after looking at Bane again it has the spell cast type, so should be able to be affected by the spell support gems, so will be adding a Void manipulation support to it.

You can't use Malevolence and Discipline with Blood magic because BM has a Multiplier to reserved life.

Thank you, I missed that, no wonder my POB was going negative when trying to use that. Looks like I can hit low life with just discipline on blood magic, and have Malevolence reserve mana instead.

Bane needs the curses to be actually linked to it to gain extra damage from them, it won't scale off curses applied by the glove effect, only the ones applied by it's own

Was not sure on that, but I will test it out.
Thought it said cast socketed curse gems, not trigger them.
Either way I will still use them for the additional curse, and the ES leech per curse that they provide. Will just end up socketing the 4 curses in the gloves instead, and lose out on some of the dmg applied to Bane.

Bane will apply linked curses.
It will gain a 47% dmg increase per curse applied (at 20/20 that is)

They don't need to be linked for the increase dmg, but it would make life much easier to link bane with 3 curses and cast 1 spell as well as gain 141% dmg increase to Bane, right? (Though, can tricksters put that many curses?) Though without support gems, would it deal high enough damage?

Hi Friend, could you update the PoB since I updated mine and now the bricked

I am not the one who did this build...but I converted the Passive-Tree by using an uddated and non-updated version.


Here is the one (I suggest) for the updated version (Version 1.4.132 Path of Building):



It has the same amount of nodes. Funny.

Edit: Had the wrong code before, sorry.
