Isn't it the better choice over Bane? For clearing Bane is not as good as contagion...

So, I know I won't need it for anything outside of harder bosses like Uber Elder but I accidentally 6 linked my Hyrri's.
So I thought I'd go with a 6 link Bane set up, which also frees up a flask slot for Jade flask, ditching Witchfire Brew, putting me at 32k evasion with Jade up.

Thoughts? I haven't tried 4 or 5 armies with this guy yet. Will this change make the single target more viable for that? ( which I heard this isn't very good for)

I used a 6 linked Bane for the longest time as it still do a lot of damage. I recently switched my 6 links to Contagion as I mainly use Bane to apply the curse and stack a bit more damage on top of ED.

My fifth and sixth links to Contagion is Enhance and Arcane Surge (lvl 10). The benefit of this is a level 3 Enhance will give Contagion another 8% AoE (12% at level 4). Since we cast Contagion before ED, having Arcane Surge linked to Contagion ensures that Arcane Surge is active on every cast of ED.

The socket colors should be the same for both setup. I know it's difficult to get so many blue sockets, but you can use the jeweler method to get four and get Vorici in Research to put 1 to 3 white sockets in good spots.

Obviously Bane is to "apply a curse and stack a bit more damage". What else would it be for? No idea what you're talking about here though. 6 linked contagion? ya, no lol. 6 link Bane is a metric ton more dot damage then contagion which is purely just to spread ED.
I have 10% chance to get Arcane Surge when I kill...not really concerned with wasting a 6 link on Contagion, let alone on arcane Surge. And If you read my post you'd see the chest is 6 linked. Why would I use Vorici method? But yes, I plan on getting a white or two on it so I can use 4 blue.

Sorry for the snit but...what is this, I don't even lol

You're being too antagonistic, this build basically have an extra 6 link for anyone to do anything with. OP uses a 5 link Soulrend (don't know if he still do), I chose to do a 6 link Bane for the extra damage. I recently switched to a 4 link Bane and 6 link Contagion setup (I like this a lot).

Remember when you were leveling up with Contagion and ED and Contagion had very low AoE? It didn't feel very good to play. Once we leveled up Contagion and added more AoE support to it, it feel a whole lot better. That's why I use Enhance.

Arcane Surge on the sixth link is not redundant with "Arcane Surge on Kill" on the bow. Your first cast of ED or any cast of ED when Arcane Surge has fallen off will not have the damage bonus of Arcane Surge.

By attaching Arcane Surge to Contagion we are guaranteed to have the Arcane Surge damage bonus on every cast of ED. It is not there to boost the damage of Contagion.

There is no wrong choice as to what to use your chest sockets for, try different things out. The socket coloring thing wasn't necessarily directed at you (I didn't look at your gears), it was meant for other players following this guide that might be put off by seeing a 5 blue Hyrri's chest.

I'm being antagonistic? Stupid questions rub me wrong. 6 link contagion, I face palmed so hard. And wondering why you would use Bane?? W/e you win, I'm out.
