[3.7 Legion] MF Essence Drain/Contagion Monolith Farming Trickster (SC/MF)

Also, don't pay attention to the gems in the items. I'm using the gear for other things, so the gems linked in the items are changing. Refer to the gem section instead.

And for our Watchers Eye, we use a "X% Increased Movement Speed while affected by Grace"
(I don't know how to link from passive tree)

Gear Section for if I mess something up with the links

ED:
6 Link: Essence Drain - Void Manipulation - Controlled Destruction - Efficacy - Swift Affliciton - Empower(3+)

Con:
4 Link: Contagion - Increased Area of Effect - Intensify - Faster Casting

Blight:
4 Link: Vaal Blight - Efficacy - Swift Affliction - Controlled Destruction

Movement:
2 Link: Shield Charge - Faster Attack
1 Link: Flame Dash

Aura:
1 Link: Malevolence
1 Link: Grace

Defensive:
3 Link: Cast When Damage Taken(1) - Immortal Call(3) - Increased Duration

This leaves us with 2 empty sockets for whatever you want. Another Cwdt setup, Portal or just more spots for leveling those Enlightens and Empowers.

Kill... Eeeeverything.

Major
Soul of Lunaris - Fully upgraded for Defensive Abilities, and also grants us Movement Speed
Minor
Soul of Garukhan - Fully upgraded for Movement Speed

Swift Killer - Patient Reaper - Ghost Dance - Escape Artist

Weapon
Breath of the Council is a great cheap "starter" weapon, and is perfectly viable for what we use the build for. It has A lot of increased Chaos Damage, Chaos Skill Effect Duration and AoE, all of which we use to clear fast and efficiently.

Shield
Zeel's Amplifier is again, damage and AoE. We want as much AoE as we can get to really pop a full Monolith. Also comes with a bit of Life.

If you want to take this build to higher tier maps, you can swap weapon and shield for the following;
A Wand with +X% Non-Ailment Chaos Damage over Time Multiplier, Chaos Damage/Increased Skill Effect Duration and Cast Speed
A Shield with Life, Resists and/or Spell damage

(This is more expensive, and should only be done if you don't want to farm low tier Glacier.)

Another option is the Sentari's Answer shield, which has up to 8% quantity. I personally don't recommend this option, simply because the build feels objectively worse due to the decreased damage and AoE you would otherwise get from Zeel's, making popping Monoliths feel bad, and since this build is all about farming Monoliths, I feel it's more important to make the build smooth, while also stacking Quant, compared to just stacking Quant. However, if you don't feel it to be an issue, you can try it out and see. Neither shield is very expensive, although an 8% sentari's is quite more expensive than a Zeel's.

Helmet
Devoto's Devotion is great due to Movement Speed, Attack Speed for faster Shield Charge and Evasion for our Queen of the Forest.

Body Armour
Queen of the Forest allows us to be a Speedy Boi, also comes with a bit of resists and Life.

Gloves
Sadima's Touch, simply because we're MF

Boots
Goldwyrm, again, MF

Amulet
Any Amulet with Quantity. You can craft one from an ilvl 85+ shaper base or buy a cheap Talisman with 10% Quant implicit.
The reason I multimodded a Shaper Base, was because it was early in the league and I couldn't find an Amulet with the stats I wanted.

Rings
Ventor's Gambles, simply get as much Quant as possible and whatever resists you can get. This item will most likely be the most expensive, and what you're going to upgrade most to balance resists.

A cheap alternative would be a Thief's Torment. I'd still recommend saving up for nice Ventors tho.

Belt
Bisco's Leash, more Quant and Rampage, which is great. Although it can sometimes mess with your ED/Con combo, I still think it's the best belt for low tier Monolith Farming.
Alternatively, you can get any rare with Life and Resists to balance what you're missing.

A Cheap alternative would be Perandus Blazon.

Flasks
Witchfire Brew is amazing for more Damage, and our sole source of Curse. Also gives 100% Increased Evasion Rating, which is great for our Queen of the Forest.
The other Flasks just have to be a Jade Flask for the 3000 Evasion, a Quicksilver for more Movement Speed, and whatever other Flask you feel you need. I use a Quarts Flask for more defense, and an Instant Life Flask for the "Oh Sh*t" moment (Although I don't think I ever used it..)

Our tree is mostly centered around Evasion, Chaos Damage and Movement Speed, but there is a few Keystones we utilize.

Eldrich Battery
Since we have 100% mana reservation from Grace and Malevolence, we're using Eldrich Battery to be able to spend our Energy Shield for our Spell and Abilities instead. Without this node, you won't be able to cast many spells.

Acrobatics + Phase Acrobatics
Simply a more defensive solution. If you feel you don't need it, you can simply skip these and put your points somewhere else.

Other than that, the tree is pretty straightforward. We take our Chaos Damage increasing Notables, such as Corruption, Atrophy and Method to the Madness.
Other than that, it's mainly as much Evasion as we can fit, along with some Life (which we don't need much of for T2 Glacier) and Movement Speed. We just want to go fast.

For our Ascendancy Picks;
We chose Swift Killer for Frenzy Charge generation, and increased damage per frenzy charge.
Patient Reaper is mainly for the Life/ES gain on kill, but the increased damage is a great bonus.
Ghost Dance and Escape Artist is our defensive passives, as they give us damage reduction, chance to evade, stun immunity while we have ghost shroud stacks, some movement speed among other things. Just overall amazing defensive stats.

Level as any regular ED/Con build, focus on defenses and damage, once you get to around lvl 85-90, you can switch to the MF version, as it requires quite a bit of passive points to feel smooth.

Gear I would recommend using for the leveling part is the standard:







And a great piece to pick up is a +2 Duration Gem Tabula

It's the most damage you can get for cheap.
