Hi Thi3n, another great build!

Can I ask your opinion on soul rend vs bane vs storm brand (your other starter build) for mapping and bossing?

My other big question with curse builds is how you do deal with betrayal fortification doors?

Highly liked your build, still in progress 70+lvl at the moment, doing 7-10 tier maps easily, just wonder how to increase life gain/recovery as the mom and flash fest isn't enough when bosses or mobs are fast hitting ones, also some struggle with syndicate encounters. Any suggestions?

Hi Thi3n,

Thank you for the guide, I've followed a couple of your other builds and your youtube for a little while now and it's been really helpful.

Any thoughts on how this compares to ED/Contagion builds as far as clearspeed/power goes? I enjoy the chaos spellcaster archetype but like you I found the projectile speed on soulrend unsatisfying to play with. I really like Essence drain for mapping but juggling wither/blight for bossing feels kinda clunky.


Going to be playing this one for flashback and I'm looking forward to it!

They are completely different builds with different playstyles. Some will click differently with other people. Here are my personal thoughts on them:

1) Soulrend. I don't have a build for this. I tried it this league and the projectile speed was a dealbreaker for me. I hate waiting for the proj to get to the enemy but once it did reach... it did heavy damage and it was hardly a "damage over time." I view trickster as the best ascendancy for this build because Soulrend plays nicely with cast speed.

2) Bane. I obviously love it. I mention it in the video that it's a 1 stop shop for damage and defense. The aoe is "instant" occultist pops are satisfying and this build functions perfectly as a league starter that doesn't care about map mods. I will be league starting with this build in the 1 month flashback event in solo self found.

3) Stormbrand. Might be the fastest leveler of the bunch. Mechanically top tier in terms of being able to set and forget damage. I would say it's a better mapper by a lot and a better bosser by a little. However I have played this build so many times that I want to mix it up. Also future patch notes might hit several abilities so as a player who wants to be prepared I like having several tools in my toolbox so to speak.

Fortification Doors die to Bane.
